INTERNATIONAL NEWS

Although the current pandemic has dampened the planned mobility programs, the
Faculty of Science Mobility Program Committee continued with its promotional activities. A
virtual roadshow of “Mobility Program 101” was conducted and attended by 68 undergraduates
from all institutes and departments in Faculty of Science. During the session, students were
briefed on the aspects of the Mobility Programs, with emphasis on the types of programs,
finance and implications on their studies. The briefing served as a platform for interested
students to obtain more information. The response from the students was good, particularly on
the 6 short-term programs planned by the faculty. Students seem ready to participate when the
situation is safe for such program to resume!

A note from the Faculty of Science Mobility Program Committee

The university has introduced an initiative to improve students’ participation in the
outbound mobility program by introducing a financial assistance model, especially for
students from B40 families. The Mobility Team is seeking the support of faculty
members to help promote the benefits of both the inbound and outbound mobility
programs. Let’s together materialise the student’s wish to explore other countries as
part of their tertiary education experience. Besides, these students are helping us to
establish new network by bridging academics between the host universities and
Universiti Malaya. Get in touch with us now for further information!
