Sebab-sebab untuk memilih Universiti Malaya


Dalam entri yang lepas sis ada kongsi perkara-perkara yang wajar diambil kira dalam pemilihan universiti untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di peringkat sarjana muda. Sebagai Duta UM (UM Ambassador), sis akan kongsi sebab-sebab kenapa anda patut memilih Universiti Malaya sebagai universiti pilihan anda. Faktor-faktor ini akan diselarikan mengikut kategori dalam entri lepas.

#1 Reputasi Universiti yang baik
Mengikut ranking QS tahun 2016, UM merupakan universiti nombor 1 terbaik di Malaysia, kedudukan 27 di Asia dan 146 di dunia. Employability pelajar juga tinggi iaitu 80%. UM telah melahirkan tokoh-tokoh penting pada hari ini seperti Tun Dr Mahathir, Dr Zeti Aziz, Profesor Diraja Ungku Aziz dan ramai lagi. Ini membuktikan bahawa universiti ini mampu menjadi platform yang baik bagi mengembangkan potensi pelajar-pelajar. UM juga diiktiraf sebagai Universiti Penyelidikan Premier di Malaysia dan Asia, dikenali di serata dunia dan sesetengah kursus turut diiktiraf oleh badan-badan akreditasi antarabangsa.

#2 Subjek wajib universiti
Di UM, subjek yang wajib diambil taklah berat sangat. Secara amnya terdapat 17 jam kredit yang perlu dipenuhi. Berikut adalah subjek wajib di UM bagi pelajar lokal:
1.       Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia (TITAS)
2.       Hubungan Etnik
3.       Kemahiran Maklumat
4.       2 subjek Bahasa Inggeris (bergantung pada Band MUET)
5.       Jalinan Masyarakat
6.       Kokurikulum
7.       Asas Pembudayaan Keusahawanan.
Ikut je arahan pensyarah, jangan ponteng kelas, hantar kerja berkualiti in sha Allah boleh dapat A. Kebanyakan pelajar memang dapat A la subjek-subjek ni. Subjek nombor 4 hingga 7 takda peperiksaan akhir, hanya ada quiz dan tugasan sepanjang kuliah. Subjek 1 hingga 3 pulak ada peperiksaan akhir tapi semuanya soalan objektif je, boleh la menembak ye haha. Subjek wajib universiti ini pada sis takdalah membebankan sangat. Kebanyakannya perkara yang kita dah pun belajar sebelum ni macam sejarah, Bahasa inggeris, kerja komuniti, perniagaan, koko. Tapi subjek Inggeris tu agak susah nak score. Standard tinggi kut. Dan di UM takda subjek wajib Bahasa asing, thank God.

#3 Lokasi UM di tengah bandar
Dulu sis fikir tak kisah lah belajar dekat atau jauh, sama je. Tapi bila dah masuk UM, rasa macam bersyukur pilih universiti yang dekat dengan rumah. Satunya senang nak balik dan angkut barang-barang dari kolej yang tersangatlah banyak. Tapi disebabkan UM terletak di tengah-tengah bandar KL/PJ, taklah susah bagi yang datang dari jauh untuk bergerak. LRT Universiti sangat dekat jadi mudah untuk ke mana-mana pun (KL Sentral dsb) dan kenderaan awam macam bas RapidKL, teksi, GrabCar pun mudah didapati. Kalau tak dapat duduk di kolej pun, banyak rumah-rumah sewa di sekeliling UM dengan harga yang murah. Ada kawan sis sewa RM150 je sebulan untuk bilik utama di flat dekat dengan UM. Ambil bas hari-hari pegi kelas. Gerai makan tak usah cakap lah, bersepah. From the lowest end to the highest end; gerai tepi jalan ada, fast-food ada, delivery ada, kedai hipster ada, restoran mewah ada, bazar Ramadhan pun dekat; pilih je la selera macam mana. Tempat hiburan pun banyak; panggung wayang, pusat beli-belah (Mid-Valley sangat dekat), tempat karaoke, pasar malam, uptown semua ada. Ni penting tau gais, aktiviti untuk de-stress kan otak anda.

#4 Kemudahan lengkap dalam universiti
Di UM macam-macam kemudahan ada, perpustakaan yang efisien dan selesa, bas dalam kampus, bas shuttle semasa peperiksaan, masjid untuk solat Jumaat, hospital, klinik pelajar, ATM, bank Islam, stadium, gelanggang serbaguna, outdoor gym, kolam renang, kayaking, tasik untuk beriadah, rumah pokok, kedai buku, gerai makan yang sangat murah (sebab subsidi kan hehe) satu meal tu takkan lebih dari RM 5 (time sis diet tak makan nasi dulu makan tengahari biasanya RM3.50 je, macam zaman sekolah menengah gitu), kedai runcit, kedai fotostat, sewa basikal, watercooler di merata-rata jadi setakat air kosong tu free je la. Boleh dikatakan kehidupan di kampus UM ni mudah la nak dapatkan macam-macam. Tak perlu keluar dari UM pun boleh hidup la orang kata (tapi tak mungkin tak tertarik dengan macam-macam benda best dekat luar tu hahaha).

#5 Politik kampus
Hahaha ha ha… Politik kampus di UM sebenarnya sangat menarik. Contoh masa kes pagar roboh tu, Nampak macam ramai yang datang sokong, tapi kebanyakan yang pergi tu nak tengok sendiri dan rasai suasana je. Pensyarah pun ramai pergi sebab setakat belajar teori dalam kelas kan tak menarik. Inilah peluang rasai pengalaman tu sendiri. Bercakap mengenai politik dalaman kampus, memang wujud persaingan dan ketegangan antara pihak Pro-Mahasiswa dan Penggerak Mahasiswa. Mestilah, nama pun pilihan raya kan. Kenalah perjuangkan ideologi masing-masing. Tapi takda masalah pun, kalau anda tak nak ambil peduli, tak perlu. Kalau anda minat, inilah tempat yang baik untuk mengasah bakat kepimpinan anda. Kebanyakan pelajar ambil port mengenai hal ehwal politik di UM ni. Sis sekadar melihat dari jauh. Beberapa kali jugalah diminta bertanding pilihanraya kampus tapi sis tolak sebab tak berminat. Maaf gais, hidup sis pun tak terurus lagikan pula nak memperjuangkan hidup semua pelajar hahaha.

#6 Kepelbagaian komposisi pelajar di UM
Seperti yang anda mungkin sedia maklum, di UM mahasiswa/i terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum. Bukan hanya dari Malaysia, pelajar antarabangsa pun ramai. Anda berpeluang memahami pelbagai bangsa dan bergaul dengan pelajar-pelajar dari luar negara. Sedikit sebanyak ini akan membuka minda anda kepada dunia luar yang sememangnya terdiri daripada pelbagai budaya dan latar belakang. Anda akan lebih fleksibel dan tidak kekok untuk bekerja dengan pelajar yang berlainan bangsa dengan anda. Di sini juga anda akan dapat rasai persaingan yang hebat jadi anda tidak akan hanya berada di dalam safe zone anda sendiri. Anda akan berusaha untuk berada seiring dengan mereka. Setakat ni sis dah kenal dan berinteraksi dengan ramai pelajar dari luar negara dan cara pemikiran mereka memang sangat matang. Secara tidak langsung, kita juga akan terbuka minda dengan pengetahuan global dan belajar dari mereka. Sis rapat dengan satu pelajar pertukaran dari Korea, Yoon Ju namanya. Time cuti sis bawak dia tidur rumah sis dan jalan-jalan Shah Alam. Best sangat!

#7 Yuran UM yang berpatutan
Okay, ada yang kata yuran di UM agak mahal jika dibandingkan dengan IPTA yang lain. Tapi pada sis sendiri takdalah mahal sangat. Lebih kurang RM1k untuk satu semester pengajian. RM1k lagi untuk yuran tinggal di kolej satu semester. Jadi setahun tu yuran pengajian lebih kurang RM2k dan yuran kolej setahun RM2k. Memang tak dinafikan ada IPTA yang jauh lebih rendah yurannya (sampai separuh dari kos di UM) tapi jika dilihatkan kemudahan yang ditawarkan, pada sis sangat berpatutan. Ini terpulanglah pada kemampuan kewangan masing-masing. Alhamdulillah, sis penerima biasiswa jadi taklah terbeban sangat belajar di UM.

#8 Ada peluang belajar di luar negara!
Yep. Hubungan baik antara UM dengan pelbagai universiti antarabangsa membolehkan pelbagai program pertukaran pelajar dan summer program ditawarkan kepada pelajar UM. Bukan itu je, 70% kos akan ditanggung oleh UM! Siap beri duit poket lagi. Wow kan? Haha. Kalau keputusan anda okay (3 pointer ke atas), anda boleh buat permohonan untuk exchange student program ke mana-mana universiti yang bekerjasama dengan UM. Kalau permohonan anda diterima, bolehlah anda merasa belajar di luar negara selama satu semester ataupun kalau summer program durasinya 2 minggu hingga sebulan semasa cuti semester. Tak susah pun untuk terpilih ke program ni. Ramai kawan-kawan sis akan pergi semester depan terutamanya ke Jepun dan Korea. Sis pun ada ditawarkan untuk belajar di universiti di Korea tapi sis tak berapa sanggup untuk belajar Bahasa Korea jadi sis tolak tawaran tu. Takpelah, bagi ruang kepada pelajar yang betul-betul berminat J It can be you if you join UM!

Jadi apa duk fikir-fikir lagi tu? Come and be part of this great university! We need talents like you to make this university even greater :D

P/s This is merely a rationale of why you should be choosing UM as the place to study. I am not comparing directly with any other universities. And of course, these are all solely from my point of view. For further information or more specific details, do check out UM’s official website.

    1. Waalaikumsalam dear. Tahniah! Welcome to the UM community :) selalunya roommates utk first year pihak kolej tak letak mahasiswa/i berlainan agama dlm satu bilik. Roommates tu rawak, siapa cepat dpt bilik di tingkat yg rendah kalau lambat mmg akan panjat tangga tinggi2 bilik atas. UM tiada beri biasiswa. Ya, utk biasiswa JPA perlu tunggu result sem 1. Yes, ambil ptptn dulu then kalau dpt jpa boleh stop. No problem :)

    4. Thanks for the info Celine! I am not sure Jazli. KK4, KK3 and KK7 from what I know they will try their best to separate the races during first year. But second year onwards biasanya kita boleh pilih roommate sendiri so terpulanglah kalau nak pilih yang berlainan bangsa pun tidak menjadi satu kesalahan.

    1. Hi, yes there was this one year that UM went out of the common system so students who wished to apply needed to buy a separate BSN pin for UM, USM and another one for the other IPTAs. But as of last year, UM re-joined the other IPTAs so you only need to buy 1 pin number from BSN. I don't know what will happen in the following year, so to be safe, just go to BSN and ask them there whether there's any IPTAs which require a separate pin. Hope this helps :)

  8. Assalamualaikum. Akak, kalau nak ambik um kos geografi pointer kena 3.5 je atas ke ? Sy lepasan stpm.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Waalaikumsalam. Entry requirement boleh disemak di portal rasmi UM. Akak dah tolong check, untuk Sarjana Muda Geografi syarat kelayakan STPM adalah 3.00 shj. Tapi biasanya apa yang berlaku ialah ramai sangat yg memohon tu dengan CGPA lebih tinggi cth 3.5, jadi peluang utk pemohon 3.0 tadi mungkin tak besar. Biasanya ini yang terjadi pada kos pilihan ramai seperti Akaun dan Medic di mana ramai yg memohon dgn pointer 4.0. Kos geografi rasanya tiada masalah :) Good luck!

    1. Waalaikumsalam. Interesting question, I am actually not quite sure about that. My course, Bachelor of Economics does come with Hons. However, I would like to quote this statement taken from the student's prospectus:
      "The degree awarded is based in the final CGPA obtained by a student. To qualify for the award of an honour’s degree a student must achieve a final CGPA of not less than 2.0. The degree awarded with a final CGPA of 3.7 and above is considered equivalent and qualified for Pass Honours (With Distinction)." Hope that gives you more insights.

    2. Assalam, sy student arabic linguistic, majoriti yg ambik kos ni stam (mumtaz and above) dan yg lain stpm (biasanya 3.5 ke atas) dan diploma. Di fakulti bahasa n linguistik, selain bahasa, awak akan belajar linguistik yang lebih kepada aspek teknikal bahasa. Do apply if you re interested. :)

    1. Wassalam. Secara jujurnya, asasi UM kalau nak masuk, kena dapat straight As. Persaingan sangat sengit. Akak dulu lepas SPM, 7A 3B+ apply Asasi UM tak lepas. Roommate akak ambil asasi, result SPM dia straight As. Rata-rata kawan2 dia dkt sana pun sama jugak. So, boleh conclude that that's the case lah.

  19. As salam sis. Anak akak dapat 7As and 2Bs SPM 2017. Kalau boleh nak buat Asasi lah. Is it better to put Asasi Uitm first choice and Asasi UM 2nd choice coz like you mentioned...UM selalunya mesti straight As kan. Akak takut if letak UM 1st choice and tak dapat...by the time Uitm process dah penuh pulak. Appreciate your view pls. Anak akak nak buat Comp Sc for his degree later. Thanks dear.

    1. Wassalam. Congratulations on your child's good results! Depends jugak apa yang B tu. Kalau yang B tu non-science subjects, akak boleh try apply Asasi UM. Tapi kalau B tu core-science subjects then mungkin agak susah nak dapat masuk asasi UM. Maybe boleh try asasi UiTM. Hope this helps :)

      Delete
    2. Alhamdulillah thank you. 2Bs tu Chem n Bio...dia memang tak nak asasi sains hayat...nak sains fizikal...guess still riskym for UM then? But Uitm pun susah ke nak dapat Asasi tu? From your experience dear? Thanks in advance for your speedy response.

      Delete
    3. I believe so. Asasi UM ni sangat competitive. My roommate yg buat Asasi UM tu straight As dari UPSR, PMR sampai SPM. So, the bar is pretty high I would say. UiTM I'm not sure. If I remember correctly, I applied for it as well and did not manage to get in. Maybe you can also consider Matriculation or STPM. Both are great qualifications, and your child can pursue the subjects that she/he likes.

      Delete
    4. Yes am considering every option available. May I know where you studied after SPM...that is before you entered UM? Btw I was going through some of your older posts just to get any other useful info and saw a photo with your mom in it. She looks so familiar...is she with BNM? Sorry if I am intruding your privacy but I was stunned when I saw her face.

    1. Waalaikumsalam. Engineering ni saya tak berani nak cakap sebab kursus ni memang menjadi rebutan ramai. Seperti yang anda tahu, kursus engineering di UM memang sangat terkenal dan mempunyai ranking yang baik di peringkat dunia. Result anda bagus, tiada masalah kalau dari diploma. Tak semestinya matrik/stpm/asasi tu lebih baik dari diploma. Nasihat saya, teruskan dengan pilihan anda tu. Jika anda bercita-cita untuk belajar di UM, letaklah UM sebagai pilihan pertama. Jika anda tak cuba, anda takkan tahu anda boleh atau tidak :) selamat berjaya.

  21. Salam kak . Saya nak tanya lah . Klau saya pursue engineering course kat um nie , ada exchange program ke Jepun ke ? Dan mcam mana nak apply exchange program tu ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Wassalam. Exchange program ni mana-mana course pun boleh apply. Kena tunggu 2nd year dulu baru boleh apply di International Student Centre (ISC) kerana mereka perlu lihat juga result first year anda. Pergi office ISC di Kompleks Perdana Siswa (KPS) dan mereka akan terangkan dgn lebih lanjut. Cuma keep in mind that kalau exchange, there is a possibility that you will have to extend your studies when you come back sebab tak semua course yg anda ambil di uni foreign tersebut diiktiraf atau boleh transfer setelah anda pulang ke UM. Content kursus tersebut akan disemak sama ada similar tak dgn kursus anda di sini. Kalau UM tak accept kursus tersebut, exchange anda tu hanyalah sebagai penambah pengalaman shj, balik UM catch up balik semua subject yg dah terlepas. Exchange ni kebanyakan kerajaan/uni negara luar tersebut yg sponsor, so free kalau dapat scholarship yg mereka tawarkan. I recommend to do it if you have the opportunity :)

  25. Assalamualaikum, saya Yasmeen, inshaAllah akan sambung master dekat UM and saya nak tanya mengenai kolej kediaman. Since course yang saya ambil tu under Languages and Linguistics Faculty and kolej kediaman yang paling dekat based on map yang saya tengok is kk3 (Tunku Kurshiah). So, kk3 tu okay tak in terms of facilities and all? Saya memang tak tahu apa apa about the residential college.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Waalaikumsalam. Yes, that's true. The nearest residential college to FBL is KK3, KK4 and KK7. I've stayed in KK4 and KK7 before, honestly the standard is almost the same. Do not have high expectations for college because you will be disappointed haha. The colleges are really old, so you can imagine how it might look like. Nevertheless, it is very cheap and there's a lot of facilities (coin-operated washing machine, laundry service, mini mart, cafes, iron, pantry, hot water, surau) and there's a cleaning lady daily so cleanliness is pretty much covered (except for your own personal room of course). The rooms are shared, either 2 or 3 people per room. Some colleges have rooms smaller or bigger than others but honestly the difference is not that significant. But it is also important to note that it is very difficult to get placement in college due to extremely high demand. So you might want to ask regarding the availability for postgrad students. I can't think of what else to elaborate so if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask them here :)

    1. Waalaikumsalam. Saya kurang pasti la pulak. Sebenarnya banyak bergantung kepada application pada tahun tersebut. Kalau ramai yang apply tu 4.00 then kalau pointer 3.99 pun mungkin boleh tak dapat kan? Tapi kena tengok juga aspek lain seperti penglibatan koko atau apa2 kelebihan (atau kekurangan spt pendapatan rendah atau OKU yang akan diberikan peluang) yang anda ada. Faktor pemilihan tu saya tak pasti. I'd like to think that it is more than just pointer-based. Hope you got in!

    1. Hi sorry for the very late reply. I hope anak puan telah dapat masuk, she sounded like a bright kid! :) Tapi menurut pengalaman saya sendiri, ada juga kawan yang straight As SPM, 4.00 asasi UM dan band 5 muet pun tak dapat juga masuk medic. Jadi saya tak berani nak kata macam mana. Banyak faktor2 lain turut diambil kira.

  38. Hye kak . Yg program pertukaran tu memang untuk semua kos ke atau untuk sesetengah jer. Agaknya biomedical engineering ada buat ke exchange student

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi, semua course boleh. Most of my friends yang pergi exchange tu, although diorang dari econs, bila pergi exchange diorang ambil course lain (cth business, international relations, commerce etc) sbb tak semestinya universiti yang awak nak pergi tu ada offer course yang sama yang awak sedang belajar di UM. Tapi isunya ialah kalau awak ambil course yang berbeza semasa exchange, awak tak boleh transfer credit jadi maknanya awak ada kemungkinan besar akan extend pengajian bila awak pulang ke UM nanti. so sebelum nak apply or pergi tu, clarify dulu dgn fac awak possibility untuk transfer credit tu ada tak.

    6. Waalaikumsalam. It's not really as straight-forward as berapa pointer yang boleh masuk. There are a lot of other criterias and factors to be considered such as berapa intake for that year, persaingan, your extra curricular involvements, your financial background, your interview etc. Kalau nak tgk syarat kelayakan boleh refer official website UM. Kalau tak silap syarat layak hanya 2.7 pointer. But speaking from experience, most of my friends results 3.7 above for STPM/Matrics.

    1. 1. Kalau dapat biasiswa nanti cancel je dkt ptptn. Not too sure about the exact process because i didn't apply for ptptn.

      2. depends on course and kawan2 you la. kalau course dkt akademi pengajian islam and akademi pengajian melayu mestilah belajar dalam bahasa melayu kan. kalau other courses pembelajaran in english. tapi bahasa pertuturan hari2 depends on your friends la. kalau kawan dgn geng ckp bm, bm lah jadi bahasa utama awak.

      3. mana2 universiti pun akan ada courses that they are good at and courses that are not so popular there. but honestly in my opinion, if you're a smart student (which looking at your result, im sure you are), you'll be great anywhere you study. if financial is an issue, you should consider the cheaper option. but also, read through my post again to see the perks of UM.

      Good luck!

    1. Wassalam, untuk degree ye betul. Contoh course awak 7 sem, 1 sem di Korea, 6 sem di UM. Tapi of course ada syarat2 tertentu.
      - Second year student and above
      - Result minimum 3.5 (kalau tak silap)
      - Kena diterima application by the Korean uni of your choice
      - Course yang dimohon di sana mesti match dgn current course in UM kalau tak, tak boleh carry markah balik ke UM (meaning awak kena extend pengajian di UM bila awak balik)
      - Funding kalau uni tersebut tak offer, awak kena cover pembiayaan sepenuhnya sendiri
      - Korean uni makes it compulsory that you take Korean language. Most of their classes are conducted in Korean so your choice of classes are actually limited.

      and many others which I'm not aware of. Most people don't go because tak nak extend study nanti grad setahun lewat heheh. But if you're passionate, go ahead! :)

    1. Hi waalaikumsalam, to me the chances are the same. I don't know what is the actual breakdown of quota (or if there is such quota at all), but I've seen so many diploma graduates offered into my course (Econs). But then again, for STPM and Foundation, the nature of the qualification is more general as opposed to diploma which is very course-specific. Of course if you have a diploma in culinary (for example), your chances of getting into Econs Degree is lower. Make sense? :) Good luck!
