Affordable, flexible programmes
Parents also benefit from the option to decide when they are most comfortable sending their children to the UK.

Moreover, students at UoRM may also be eligible to receive a merit-based High Achiever’s scholarship, worth up to 30% off their programme fees.
Students with A-level, STPM, UEC or equivalent qualifications can apply for direct entry to their undergraduate degree at UoRM.
Those with SPM or IGCSE qualifications can enrol in the one-year International Foundation Programme (IFP) at UoRM, and upon successful completion, commence their undergraduate studies either in Malaysia or the UK.
Either way, students and parents have the reassurance and peace of mind that they have flexible options for pursuing a high-quality UK education.
