PASUM????!!!

11:00 PM

this post is specifically dedicated to fresh spm leavers/graduates out there. since i studied/graduated in/from PASUM (14/15) so i might as well list out some facts about Pasum as a reference to yáll who got accepted into. First thing first,


 C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !
okay moving on,

1. PASUM stands for Pusat Asasi Sains Universiti Malaya // Centre for Foundation in Science of University Malaya.

2. You can apply for pasum through UM's official website ( during my time pasum is still in the UPUs )

3. Before you get accepted into one you have to go through an interview where PASUM's lecturer itself will be interviewing you. protip: Just read a newspaper and make sure you know the latest news // current issues (mine was about MH370)

4. Pasum is located inside of the one & only UNIVERSITY MALAYA 

5. There are only 3 courses in Pasum a) Sains Hayat (biology, physics, chemistry, maths)
                                                            b) Sains Fizikal ( computer science, physics, chemistr, maths)
                                                            c) Alam bina (architecture // arts)
6. I am not sure if pasum still offers the Alam Bina a.k.a Built Environment course as my batch was the last one to have this course.

7. O of the biggest challenge of studying in pasum is that IT IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF KL. lemme tell you 7 minutes drive from Mid Valley, 15 minutes WALK (yes walk, i walked) to the nearest LRT/train station, 10-15 minutes drive to kl sentral / Bangsar. It is also near to Damansara and CFS uia whish is located in front of JAYA ONE mall. 

8. you can also take the bus to the lrt station (Station Universiti) which will only cost you rm1. I walked with some friends bc idek why adventurous? lolz

9. On the first sem, i stayed at the 12th college also known as KK12 // Kolej Kediaman Dr Nazrin Shah which is the COMFIEST kolej kediaman of all kolej kediaman. 2 people per room. singe beds each. multiple floors i guess up to 9? i cant remember sorry. but dont worry they have 2 elevators per block so you dont have to climb the stairs. The type of college you get may varies as they cant accomodate all pasum students in KK12.

10. Then later on the second sem you will stay at the 11th college. Its a 2-3 minutes walk from KK12. This time around you will be staying with ALL of PASUM students. You can pick your own roomates just make sure you register for the college together. 4 people per room. 2 bunk beds. not the best college kediaman. 

11. Pasum has only 2 semester so you have to work really hard for both semesters to get the best cgpa. Once you slacked on one of your sem theres nothing you can do about it. Be prepared to not get the best universiti in Malaysia for your degree (ex: USM, UTM, UM, UPM, UKM)

12. On the night of the last day of your paper, there will be an annual dinner (somewhat like a graduation dinner (?)) mine was held at the Sime Darby Convention Centre. Theme: Throwback. the lecturers will be attending this dinner too so dress nicely and behave. 

13. && the best part of foundation is that youll get an allowance rm1200 per semester ( can i hear a woot? ) for sabahan you'll get an extra rm1000 for your flight tickets and sarawakian will get rm800. For the less unfortunate, dont worry, the government will pay for your tuition fees. 

Last but not least NEVER trust your pasum friends who claimed that he/she didnt study bc no matter if he/she did or not, he/she will definitely get atleast a 3.5 or a 4.0. THIS IS A COMMON SITUATION GUYS> Pasum is for the geniuses. dont get pressured. genius or no genius if you study enough and pray enough you'll get through everything with ease. Insha Allah


All the best!
