Education Centre for Pre-University Studies, UNIMAS 30 | <strong>BorneoTalk</strong>Jan-Mar2012
Education The Centre for Pre-University Studies of UNIMAS was established based on the following rationales: a. To provide a primary channel for Bumiputera SPM leavers for their entry into UNIMAS. b. To provide access and opportunity for qualified Bumiputera students from rural areas to enter UNIMAS. c. To improve the quality of intakes for the programs in UNIMAS. d. To provide a bridging program designed to equip students with basic skills and knowledge required for major courses offered in UNIMAS. A total of 232 students have enrolled in the first intake for the 2010/2011 session. The next session showed an increase of enrolment to a total of 575 students. This may well be due to increase public awareness towards the existence of this Centre as a result of the promotional activities conducted by UNIMAS. The Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia approved the establishment of UNIMAS’ Centre for Pre-University Studies commencing with the 2010/2011 session. In this session, two (2) Science Foundation programs were offered; Biological Sciences and Physical Sciences, each covering a year (two semesters) of studies. Upon completion of this foundation program, students would be able to pursue their Bachelor’s Degree in UNIMAS. The Pre-University Foundation Studies is a bridging program designed to prepare SPM leavers for their Bachelor’s Degree studies especially at UNIMAS in fields such as Resource Science & Technology, Cognitive Science, Medicine & Health Science, Engineering and Information Technology. The aims of the program are to encourage the required learning capacity and to provide a strong foundation for students to achieve their fullest potential in their studies in UNIMAS. The Centre provides an avenue for bright students, particularly from Sarawak, to further their studies. Prior to this, SPM high scorers would continue their tertiary studies in Matriculation Colleges such as the ones in Labuan and in Peninsular Malaysia. As such, with the outlined rationales as guidance, the Centre for Pre-University Studies presents an affordable opportunity for further studies to rural Sarawakians. The Centre is committed towards the provision of the best teaching and learning facilities and a conducive learning environment. Additionally, students will be involved in leadership, public services, sports and cultural activities to supplement their studies and help shape a critical minded generation in the future. Presently, UNIMAS is finalizing a proposal to offer a third program, namely Foundation in Human Sciences to art stream SPM leavers. Tentatively, the program is expected to start with the 2012/2013 session. Centre for Pre-University Studies Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia.
