At a glance
UPNM is Malaysia's defence university (Kem Perdana Sungai Besi campus): undergraduate study is built around Malaysian Armed Forces cadet officers plus Malaysian civilian students admitted through the national UPU channel, and its own pages publish no international-student admission route or international fee schedule - accordingly no international fees are recorded and none have been forced. Bachelor's programme names are UPNM's programme list with its Z-series programme codes (medicine ZM00; civil ZK01; mechanical ZK08; electrical & electronic (communication) ZK25 and (power) ZK50; computer science (security) ZC27 and (intelligent systems) ZC20; maritime technology ZG37; strategic studies ZP44; defence human resource management ZP45; language & cross-cultural communication ZB03). excluded_doctorate 1 is a minimum: UPNM's Centre for Graduate Studies publishes PhD entry requirements, but no doctoral census was taken.
