Open University Malaysia was founded in 2000 and became the country's seventh private university. The main goal is to popularize higher education and scientific activity among Malaysians.

The university has an APEL program: people who have relevant work experience but have no education can be enrolled in Open University Malaysia without exams, subject to confirmation of qualification. The following programs are suitable for these conditions:

• Undergraduate (candidate must be over 21 years old)
• Master (candidate must be over 30 years old and have STPM or A-levels).

OUM offers over 70 specialties, the most popular of which are:

• Humanities (education management, pedagogy, the latest educational technologies, learning English, pre-school education, primary education)
• Natural Sciences
• Journalism and social sciences (communications, Islamic studies, political sciences, psychology, sociology)

• Computer science (computer networks, electronic commerce, information science, multimedia, software)
• Medicine and health (medical sciences, care)
• Agriculture (environmental studies)
• Veterinary science
• Tourism and hotel business.

The learning process is a symbiosis of distance and full-time, where the leading role is given to independent work. For additional clarification of the material, you can meet with the course curator or use the learning management system to communicate on the forums.

Students can send all the test work both through their personal account and by mail - in this case, it is necessary to provide the teacher with a receipt for sending. After that, the teacher either puts a mark or does not accept the work. The student is entitled to receive comments or remarks.

• The university practices a flexible curriculum: a student can study at his own pace, anytime, anywhere, without sacrificing work and personal life
• If the applicant has previously studied at the university, he can count on the accreditation of disciplines
• Students create their own curriculum by adding and removing courses through the online cabinet, which is created upon admission
• Students have the right to appeal if they are not satisfied with the grade.
• Seminars, lectures, conferences, assessment journals and exams - everything is held in an online format
• In order to submit documents to the university, you just need to fill out the form on the website and visit the department closest to the house
• The applicant has the opportunity to obtain initial knowledge in preparatory courses - successfully passed the subjects will be counted upon admission.

Since the university focuses on online learning and student comfort, a partial visit to the university is implied: the system of city departments is thought out, so that a suitable student can choose based on proximity to the place of residence, personal preferences, etc.

Each student has access to a digital library, which contains electronic modules, video lectures, educational materials and resources.

Since the university practices an individual approach, education can begin at any time immediately after submitting documents and full payment.
