foreign student enrolment
KUCHING: Universiti

(Unimas) will undertake an aggressive promotional drive starting next month
to meet their target of recruiting 300 foreign students.
Currently, with around 160 foreign students in its Kota Samarahan campus, Unimas vice- chancellor Datuk Dr Khairuddin Abdul Hamid said that the university
would set its sight on the less popular countries
to avoid competing with other institutes of higher
learning.
"After conducting a research, we found out that other varsities are keen to enrol students from popular Middle
East countries, " said Dr Khairuddin after the students' pledge session at Dewan Tun Abdul Razak Putra yesterday.
As such, Unimas will start their promotional drive especially to Kalimantan, Indonesia and other countries such as Kazakhstan and Tajikistan.
"At the moment, we are setting our sights on Turkey and selected parts of China for the student intakes, " added Khairuddin.
