Where New International Students Apply for UTHM Undergraduate Programmes

Updated

New international students apply through the official UTHM portal at uthm.edu.my, using the dedicated international undergraduate application entry for Semester II, Academic Session 2026/2027. Before applying, check the List of Programme Offered on the same portal to confirm your chosen programme is available for that intake.

What the Portal Provides

The UTHM homepage separates application routes by applicant type. For international applicants, the relevant section is labelled:

Application for New Undergraduate International Students Semester II Academic Session 2026/2027

The portal also states, for the corresponding Malaysian intake, that applicants should refer to the LIST PROGRAMME OFFERED for details before applying, and provides a Click to Apply link. The international section follows the same pattern: programme list first, then the application link.

Steps to Apply

  1. Open the official portal at uthm.edu.my.
  2. Locate the international undergraduate section — look for the heading "Application for New Undergraduate International Students Semester II Academic Session 2026/2027."
  3. Review the List of Programme Offered before starting. The portal lists study areas including:
    • 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
  4. Select "Click to Apply" in the international section to reach the application form.
  5. Complete and submit the application for the Semester II, 2026/2027 intake.

Expected result: You reach the correct international application form for the stated intake, having confirmed your programme is offered.

Common Pitfalls

  • Using the Malaysian student link. The homepage shows a separate "Bachelor Degree Intake for 2026/2027 (MALAYSIA STUDENTS)" section. International applicants should use the international entry instead.
  • Applying before checking the programme list. The portal explicitly asks applicants to review the programme list first; a programme not listed for the intake cannot be selected.
  • Wrong intake. Confirm you are on the Semester II, 2026/2027 application, not an older or different session.

If You Need Help

The portal's Useful Links and Downloads areas, plus the site's contact channels, are the places to check for further guidance. Application fees, deadlines, and required documents are not specified on the homepage excerpt — confirm these on the application page itself before submitting.
