DEAN’S FOREWORD
During the course of your study you will have the opportunity to be placed
at hospitals, health centers, organisations and villages. These placements
are meant to expose you to various health care settings and support
systems. You will learn to identify the factors that influence health and
the needs of the population both in the rural as well as in the urban
areas.
In addition to the core courses, you need to take the generic and elective
courses. These courses are meant to widen your horizon so that you will
be able to present yourself professionally.
I expect the time you spend in this faculty to be dynamic and rewarding. I
wish you all the best in your endeavour.
Over the years, the University has developed rapidly with the
establishment of eight faculties, three institutes and six
centers. UNIMAS is a university committed to being
contemporary in character and forward looking in outlook in
developing its education system. Since its inception in 1992,
UNIMAS has been dedicated to educating students who are
not only highly knowledgeable and skilled in their respective
fields, but also individuals who are well-rounded, practical as
well as rich in culture and positive values. Efforts for
enhancing the quality of teaching-learning were intensified,
supported and strengthened with efforts to improve the
quality of the management processes related to teaching and
learning.

Even though UNIMAS students can choose to take any course that
interests them, students at FMHS are only allowed to choose from
sets of courses that have been endorsed by the faculty. This is
because the programmes at FMHS use a calendar system that is
different from those used by the rest of the university. In addition,
the nature of the training involved in the preparation of FMHS
graduates makes it necessary that these courses are to be taken in
an orderly and timely manner. It is virtually impossible to take these
courses after Year 2, as students will be heavily involved in the
Nursing Handbook 2011/2012….. 20
various clinical postings/rotations.
Those who failed the test must register for TMX 1011 (End User
Computing/Komputan Pengguna), which is offered only in Semester
1 of every academic calendar. Upon scoring a Pass (L), the student
will be exempted from TMX 1010. However, they are still required to
register for TMX 2012 (IT Tools for Knowledge Workers/Alat TM
untuk Pekerja Ilmuan) offered only in Semester 2 of every academic
calendar.
All UNIMAS students who scored Band 1-3 in MUET will have to
register for Preparatory English (Level 1) in Semester 1 of the
2009/2010 academic session.
Upon scoring a Pass (L) in Preparatory English (Level 1), the student
must then register for Preparatory English (Level 2) in Semester 2
Nursing Handbook 2011/2012….. 21
Those who scored Band 4-6 in MUET are allowed to skip the
Preparatory English course and register for the English Elective
courses.
Note:
If a student obtains Band 4-6 in another attempt at MUET, after
entering UNIMAS, he/she can apply for an exemption from
Preparatory English Level II, and advance to the English Elective
courses.
Students must pass all of the courses listed. Otherwise, the course
will have to be repeated until a passing grade is obtained.
