Get varsity place first

THOSE who are interested in applying for financial assistance to pursue postgraduate programmes must first secure a place in university.

“They must first apply and get a place in any of the country’s 20 public universities or one of these three institutions — Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten), Multimedia University (MMU) or Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP),” said Higher Education Department director-general Prof Datuk Dr Radin Umar Radin Sohadi.
