Contacting Potential Research Supervisors

2. Check key dates and deadlines

It is important to take note of any deadlines and submit your applications before the published deadlines for all programmes. Please check when to apply page for details.

International applicants should apply as early as possible as your visa application can take up to two months to process. If we receive your application nearing to the deadlines, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to make it in time for registration.

Applications will automatically be deferred to the next available intake if you are unable to make it in time for registration.

 International students: 


All International students planning to study in Malaysia MUST apply for the Visa approval to study in Malaysia BEFORE entering Malaysia.

Failure to obtain this approval letter on time will result in International students not being allowed to enter Malaysia and to register with the University. The University will not be liable for any action taken by the Malaysian immigration authorities if you do not adhere to this regulation.

 

3. University policy and minimum age requirements

An applicant should be at least 18 years of age for admission to the University. For the purpose of this regulation, the date of 'admission' is defined as the first day of the relevant registration.

This requirement may be waived on an individual basis, provided that your parents or legal guardians have given their written agreement in advanced to additional safeguards and requirements. These include acknowledging that the University will not act in "loco parentis" by completing the compulsory under 18 consent form.
