NO POVERTY

UNIMAS is committed to enrol students from backgrounds where poverty is a factor by ensuring that these students have the essential support to complete their studies. By providing necessities such as food, accommodation, transportation, and legal services, the students from low-income families will be able to complete their university learning with more ease.

In order to assist students in completing their studies and to graduate successfully, UNIMAS holds an annual career exhibition which includes Career Talks and walk-in interview sessions for both enrolled & graduated students searching for job opportunities and internship placements.

Every year, UNIMAS offers a bachelor’s degree as a second chance to candidates whom has failed to attain any offers from other Public Institution of Higher Learning. The offer entails a minimum academic requirements and is eligible for students of families with household income of RM3000 or the lowest household income group. UNIMAS is fully dedicated and in support of this objective as it is a part of the university’s responsibility to provide academically for the underprivileged students. This comes with the hope that these students will become the backbone that could change the pattern of their existing household income after graduating.
