USM PENANG, 4 February 2023 – The Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Professor Dato' Ir. Dr. Abdul Rahman Mohamed sends his best wishes to all USM students across all campuses who will be sitting for their Semester 1, 2022/2023 Academic Year exams, which begin on 7 February.

“As we start the examination week, I want to encourage every student to not only study hard during this period, but to also look after yourself. Plan your time carefully and get enough rest so that you can concentrate while you’re studying and sitting for your exams.

"Always focus and work hard throughout the entire revision and exams' week, and InshaaAllah, the hard work you have put in and dedication you have shown will pay off,” Rahman advised.

He added, “continue to focus on your studies throughout your time at the university and use this time to excel in your academic endeavours, as well as to build your character and develop new essential skills that would help to improve your job prospects upon graduation.”

Student Development Affairs and Alumni Division, the Schools’ academic and non-academic staff, the Desasiswa authorities and other related departments at the University are there to support you should you need any assistance,” Rahman further reminded.

Semester 1 exams will take place from 7 February until 26 February 2023 and then the students will go for their one-month semester break before resuming Semester 2 of the 2022/2023 Academic Year.
