Why General Studies Matters
At UNM, the General Studies Department is committed to making MPU modules meaningful for your academic and personal growth. These modules are designed to:
-
Strengthen leadership, writing, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship skills to prepare you for life after graduation.
-
Encourage community engagement through co-curricular activities or community service, helping you develop empathy, teamwork, and emotional intelligence.
For Malaysian students, MPU modules promote national unity and contribute towards the spirit of nation-building. For international students, they provide an introduction to Malaysian culture and communication skills in Bahasa Malaysia, which is widely used in everyday life.
