UMPSA’s Center for Mathematical Sciences Hosts Transition Workshop for 47 Foundation Students

GAMBANG, 15 May 2026 – The Center for Mathematical Sciences (PSM) at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) successfully organized the Bengkel Persediaan Melangkah Ke Program Prasiswazah (Preparation Workshop for Stepping into Undergraduate Programs) today. Held at the Auditorium Perpustakaan, UMPSA Gambang, the workshop was specifically tailored for 47 students from the Science and Technology Foundation (AST) program, Kohort 2025/2026, who are currently completing their final semester. This event was conducted as a hybrid program, allowing students physically located at the Gambang campus to gather in person while students from "The Ship" campus successfully joined the sessions through online streaming.

The primary objective of the program was to smooth the transition from foundation studies to the degree level, guiding students as they prepare for the upcoming October 2026 intake. Attendees received comprehensive briefings regarding the diverse single and dual-degree pathways available at UMPSA. The crucial session from the Academic Marketing and Admission Center (PPK) was delivered by Mr. Mohamad Ashraff Bin Ruslan. By the end of the presentations, an interactive Q&A session was held to ensure that students clarified any doubts about their choices, enabling them to make well-informed academic decisions.

Led by Program Coordinator Dr. Farahanim Binti Misni, the workshop highlights UMPSA's commitment to nurturing its home-grown talent through its internal feeder programs. With full support from the faculty management, this initiative successfully equipped the foundation students with the strategic knowledge, clarity, and readiness needed to confidently select their undergraduate majors.
