Student Exchange Programme (SEP) in UM - How to Apply?
Assalamualaikum and hi everyone.
Since I dapat banyak Q tentang how to join SEP in UM, so today I am going to share about the application procedure on how to join the mobility programme. Please note that this is only applicable for UM Undergraduate Full Time Student only.
For postgraduate and part time student, I am not sure if there is any SEP that you can join but you can always go and ask. I would suggest all of you who interested to go to International Student Centre located at Kompleks PerdanaSiswa near the cafe. The ISC Office located at first floor on the building near the cafeteria.
Macam yang I pernah cakap sebelum ni, sebelum masuk UM lagi I dah bercita-cita nak join SEP sebab I bukan dari keluarga berkemampuan. Kalau nak pergi sendiri melancong ke luar negara memang I tak mampu. Thus, I option for this programme. I memang dah aim untuk masuk UM sebab I selalu baca blog-blog student UM yang pergi join SEP, and that inspire me a lot.
Lepas je dapat masuk UM, I terus pergi ISC and ask them the procedure to apply for this mobility programme. They told me that program ni hanya boleh join selepas sekurang-kurangnya dah belajar 1 semester di UM. So they asked me to apply again when I habis first year, first semester. Maksudnya, sila apply balik masa dah masuk 2nd semester nanti. And yeah puaslah I menunggu sampai habis first semester kat UM.
Basically, syarat nak join SEP ni mudah je:
1) CGPA 3.++
Yup tu je. Each of us student will be given max 4k for your expenses throughout the semester which include 70% of your total flight ticket. Means the cheaper you ticket price, the more money you can get for other expenses. Let me give you some tips. Always opt for university that provide free accommodation. Thus you can use the money for your other expenses. For example, i was given a choice to choose between 2 universities and I chose the one with free accommodation for the student.
Masa I dekat korea, they will wire the money but not in lump. They wire you monthly. The total i got is less that 3k actually. I am not sure why but some of the students said there a few other factors that takes into account. I guess because they know i dont have pay for the dormitary thus I only entitled for that much allowance. Nevertheless, to receive that much money is blessing for me. Yes 3k is not enough. Alhamdulillah my parents did give me my monthly allowance as usual. Ehehehe.
Dekat sana kalau nak jimat kena lah pandai-pandai. Kitorang masak hari-hari. Makan nasi sekali sehari lepas balik kelas. Pagi makan roti je. Pastu setiap minggu wajib beli barang basah dekat Emart sebab murah. Setiap hari makan ikan. Seminggu spent lebih kurang RM20 je untuk makan. Jimat banyak sebab kitorang share makanan. Sebabtu dekat korea I kurus (balik Malaysia gemuk balik😆) dengan pergi kelas every naik turun bukit without fail. I ni dah la jenis takut ponteng kelas. So seminggu 5 kali sehari naik turun bukit tinggi dia macam 8 tingkat.
Okay lah tu je kot nak share. Korang nak ke tengok gambar I kat sana? Kalau nak nanti I share😆. Tapi kalau nak cepat, pergi follow I kat instagram @attzulkafli 😆.
Bye. See you in next post okay!
Love, Atts.
