How Malaysian Students Can Apply for UTHM Bachelor Degree Intake 2026/2027

Updated

Go to the official UTHM portal at uthm.edu.my and find the section headed "Bachelor Degree Intake for 2026/2027 (MALAYSIA STUDENTS)". Before you click the application link, open the LIST PROGRAMME OFFERED and confirm your chosen programme is available for Semester II, Session 2026/2027. The portal states that applications for this intake are open for Malaysian students, and the same page carries a separate application route for new international undergraduates.

Step-by-step application route

1. Open the official portal

Use the main UTHM web portal (uthm.edu.my). The intake notice appears on the homepage under the study links, alongside the postgraduate, undergraduate and international student sections.

2. Read the programme list first

The portal explicitly asks applicants to refer to the LIST PROGRAMME OFFERED for detail before applying. Programmes are grouped under these faculties and schools:

  • Civil Engineering and Built Environment
  • Electrical and Electronic Engineering
  • Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
  • Technology Management and Business
  • Technical and Vocational Education
  • Computer Science and Information Technology
  • Applied Sciences and Technology
  • Engineering Technology

3. Confirm you are on the Malaysian student route

The page separates two application notices:

  • Bachelor Degree Intake for 2026/2027 (MALAYSIA STUDENTS) — Semester II, Session 2026/2027
  • Application for New Undergraduate International Students — Semester II, Academic Session 2026/2027

Malaysian applicants should use the first one. Applying through the wrong route is a common way to lose time.

4. Click to Apply

Each notice has its own Click to Apply link. Use the one attached to the Malaysian student intake notice, not the international one.

5. Verify before you submit

  • The programme you selected appears in the official programme list.
  • The intake shown is Semester II, Session 2026/2027.
  • You are on the Malaysian student application page.

What the portal does and does not tell you

Question What the portal shows
Which intake is open? Semester II, Session 2026/2027
Who is the notice for? Malaysian students (separate notice for new international undergraduates)
What should I check first? The LIST PROGRAMME OFFERED
How do I start? The Click to Apply link on the intake notice
Entry requirements, fees, deadlines Not stated in the portal content reviewed — check the programme list and the application system itself

Common sticking points

  • Skipping the programme list. The portal places this instruction before the apply link for a reason; programme availability can differ between faculties and levels.
  • Mixing up the two intake notices. The Malaysian and international notices sit close together and both reference Semester II 2026/2027.
  • Assuming the homepage is the application system. The portal is the entry point; the actual form opens through the Click to Apply link.

Where to go next

If you are still choosing a field of study, the programme categories above map directly to UTHM's faculties, so you can shortlist by faculty before opening the full list. Once your programme is confirmed, return to the intake notice and use its Click to Apply link to begin the Semester II, Session 2026/2027 application.
