"We aspire to pursue our studies at UUM because we have had a deep interest in the field of accounting since our school days. The excitement of receiving acceptance into UUM is overwhelming, especially considering the fierce competition for admission into this programme.

“Accounting was our first choice when filling out our UPUOnline application, and we are grateful for the opportunity to follow our dreams at the university, considering the proximity to our home," shared Ms. Nurin Najla and Ms. Nurin Najma.

Another pair, Ms. Nur Alina Khirruddin and Ms. Nur Aliza Khirruddin, have also made UUM their first choice, enrolling in the Bachelor of Logistics programme. This set of twins, who previously studied at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Guar Cempedak in Yan, could not have anticipated that their first choice to study at UUM would become a reality.

Graduates from Syed Sirajudin Polytechnic, Ms. Ainun Sakinah Mohd Khairil and Ms. Ainun Shakirah Mohd Khairil aged 21 have chosen to further their studies in the Bachelor of Event Management programme.

"My visual impairment is not a hindrance to pursuing my dreams. I will make use of the opportunities and facilities available for learning, including sitting in the front row and frequently seeking help from my classmates," she stated.
