Doctorate in Project Management, Director of the Municipality’s Technical Department
“USM is on the Oman Higher Education’s Ministry list of recommended universities. I also discovered that it has a competitive ranking among other international universities and provides an excellent academic environment, research studies, facilities and services. Overall, USM is the most popular and well-recognised university in Malaysia in postgraduate research studies. I will also never forget the attention of the academic staff, my parents and my friends who have helped me in the course of my studies. I also thank the staff of HBP and IPS who have always been helpful. I know I made the right move in coming to USM.”
Computer Science, 3 Years
I haven’t been in USM for long but I’ve noticed a lot of great things especially in my school. I really want tosay that we have such good lecturers at USM who are qualified and have a lot of experience in teaching. In our university we have amazing IT facilities almost everywhere inside the campus which is really helpful. We also have a lot of facilities like transportation, library, labs and internet service. I work at the international office as a volunteer and buddy student. I have many friends find them extremely friendly and helpful. I think USM is great place to build a career.
English Literature, 3 Years
As an international student, I have cherished my time at USM since the moment I stepped in. Here, I have been lucky enough to get to know some very great, compassionate people among lecturers and staff. I have had the chance of befriending some of my greatest buddies from different nations. The serenity of this place helps me focus on my academic studies. If I had a chance to go back to the past, I would choose to come to study at USM again.
Linguistics, 2 Years
As an international student overseas, I have been really lucky to be one of the students at University Sains Malaysia. I’d like to express my sincere appreciation to the teaching staff who taught me during my M.A. course and to the academic staff from the School of Humanities for their constructive supervision, invaluable instruction and humane attitude all through the time of my course. I’d say that they create an environment where you can grow and develop and make a difference towards your future. Last but not least, I have noticed that throughout my studies I have always learnt new things which will help me to be the best I can.
“Choosing to stay in campus is the best choice I ever made! I immediately made friends with students from all ethnic backgrounds, and they have always invited me to join in the campus activities like basketball game, or to hang out in the dormitory café and talk the night away. I have also been invited to their family homes around the country and those experiences was really great!”
“USM campus is like a botanical garden. What really impress me are the various activities from the different schools and sport teams. Another thing which I really appreciate is the medical service and the computer labs equipped with Internet access, which are offered free to all exchange students.”
“It took me about two weeks to get used to Malaysian hot and humid climate. I had some problems with the spicy food. But now I can eat almost every type of Malaysian foods. My favourite is Tandoori Chicken”
