“We expect more international students to come to Unimas to further their studies – bachelor’s degree, masters and PhD.

“A total of 6,020 internationals student, mostly from China (300), some 100 from Indonesia and five from Brunei, have finished their studies at Unimas.
“We are expecting to receive more students from the three countries, especially in October.”
As most international students are from China, he said that most of them chose courses in the Faculty of Economic and Business, Faculty of Applied and Creative Arts and Faculty of Language and Communication.
