Welcome to OUM, the premier open and distance learning (ODL) institution in Malaysia!
Established in 2000, OUM is the country’s seventh private university. What is so special about OUM is that we are owned by a consortium of Malaysia’s first 11 public universities. This gives us the unique advantage of being able to benefit from the prestige and expertise of our stakeholders. For learners, this means we have the resources to make our programmes the best they can be, with input and contribution from subject-matter experts throughout the country.

What Our Alumni Say

DR OOI LAI YEE, DEPUTY PRINCIPAL
"It was a long journey. I spent eight years completing my study. I have doubted myself so many times and did not think that I would make it, but determination is the key to success! This latest achievement has taken my career to the next level, as with the knowledge that I have gained, I have been given the opportunity to head a private school. I want to express my warm and deep appreciation to my supervisors, lecturers and others who have given me their faithful support, inspiration, and guidance."

SITI RAHIMAH RAMLI, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
“ The programme is relevant to my career and I have been able to put the knowledge that I have gained into practice. It has definitely enhanced my skills and helped me improve my work performance. I chose OUM because of its flexible approach. My busy routine at work was not interrupted as classes were held on weekends. What’s more, it is so easy to communicate with lecturers and peers via the online platform.”

WONG LIM JIN, LECTURER
“ Life as a PhD candidate was challenging but also fruitful. OUM did a fantastic job preparing me for my proposal defence and dissertation write-up. The University also provided me with an excellent foundation to explore an array of opportunities to build a rewarding career ahead. Overall, I am grateful to OUM for getting me where I am today.”

DSP DR MOHD ROSLAN MOHD TAHIR, HEAD OF NUSA BESTARI POLICE STATION
“ OUM became my university of choice because of its flexible and learner-friendly system as well as its affordable fees. I hope my efforts will lead to a promotion and the knowledge I’ve gained will steer the police force towards a more modern approach in keeping Malaysia safe.”

TAUFIQ HIDAYAT MOHAMAD, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER/TRAINER,
“ I chose OUM because of the flexibility it offers to working adults like me and the fees are affordable too. Studying for the Bachelor of Psychology programme has played a great role in helping me deal with and understand people better. It is very valuable especially for managing and coping with emotions and stress in life and at work.”

DR MUZAFAR MAT YUSOF, SENIOR LECTURER
“I chose to continue studying to improve my competence in a field that is relevant to my career. I realised that I needed to consistently practise what I have learnt as I have a huge responsibility at work. Thanks to OUM for giving me the opportunity to make my dreams come true. The flexible learning approach and latest technology tools and infrastructure are very helpful in learning.”

LIM CHIN KANG, SAFETY & HEALTH OFFICER
“I find the programme comprehensive as it addresses various aspects of OSH that I could implement at the workplace. The lecturers, too, are very supportive as they make the effort to explore relevant areas beyond the syllabus. For me, MOSHRM is about learning how to apply what I learn. I am confident if I were to pursue my PhD, the knowledge that I acquired from this programme will play a huge part in my success. ” –
