Offer Letter
Research mode students who are offered admission to a programme of study are given one (1) year effective from the date on the offer letter, to register as a student in this University. The period is includes the requirement to make all the necessary arrangements before coming to Malaysia (for international students). If you do not register within one (1) year, the offer will become automatically void.
Tips:
* If you are in Penang, have your own accommodation, and have access to the university journals (exp: if you are a research assistant), you can register just before your offer becomes void to have more time to refine your research topic and save money (for fees).
