THIRD INTAKE FOR UUM GOLF EDUCATION PROGRAM

After the successful collaboration to provide quality tertiary education to the golf athletes, UUM is ready for third intake of undergraduates

UUM is calling golf athletes who have handicap 10 and under to further their studies under the UUM/MGA Education program for September 2012 intake.

With the appointment of UUM as Malaysia's centre of golf excellence, this will be a two-way effort to fuel golf development in the country. The program which covers degree, diploma and also professional level, aims to be a perfect avenue for the national players to continue their education to higher level with access to good golfing facilities at UUM.

Besides degree programs, UUM plans to set up new courses that cater to golf management that will in turn churn out world-class professional golfers, golf administrators and even club managers. MGA is currently looking forward to work closely with golf managers around the country to set up the requirements that will ensure the rise of management quality. However the offer is not limited to such courses only but will also covers other academic choices provided the players meet the basic entry requirements.

The classes for the degree programs will be conducted at UUM main campus in Sintok.

With good feedbacks from similar program in US, Europe and Australia, MGA hopes to emulate the success thus consistently churning out good golf players to represent Malaysia for the long run.
