Welcome, OUM Alumni!
MESSAGE FROM OUM PRESIDENT/VICE-CHANCELLOR
Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera,
Dear Alumni,
It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to our alumni platform, the home of a vibrant and growing community of more than 130,000 OUM graduates.
This platform is your space to stay connected with OUM, keep up with ongoing programmes, and engage with the Centre for Alumni Relations through meaningful activities and initiatives. While your academic journey with OUM may have come to an end, your connection with your alma mater certainly doesn’t.
We warmly encourage all alumni to register as members of the OUM Alumni Association. By doing so, you become part of a stronger collective voice, enabling better engagement, collaboration, and meaningful contributions to the University and the wider community.
At OUM, we believe success is not measured solely by personal achievements, but also by how we uplift others along the way. Through Yayasan Canselor OUM, alumni have the opportunity to give back by supporting students from underprivileged backgrounds. Even a small contribution of RM10 can make a real difference, helping to open doors to education and brighter futures.
Many of our alumni have also chosen to return to OUM to further their studies, embracing lifelong learning in today’s increasingly competitive world. We hope you too will continue to grow, both personally and professionally with OUM by your side.
Let’s stay connected and continue building a supportive, lifelong OUM alumni family together.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Professor Dato’ Dr. Ahmad Izanee Awang

What Do Our ALUMNI Say?
"Although I have a great job as a flight attendant, I’m very interested in counselling. It led me to look for a university which offers an MQA-accredited counselling programme. I also needed flexible and part-time studies. The best I could find was OUM. So, I signed up for its Master of Counselling programme in 2019. It took me just 2 years to complete my studies."
"I did not know about OUM at first. I searched other universities to do a part-time degree. It was the staff of other universities who suggested to look for OUM. My 3 years and 3 months at OUM gave me an enriching experience. I loved the courses that needed us to do presentations. I appreciate all the opportunities given for me to practice public speaking. "
"OUM’s learning mode was suitable for me as I am a full-time employee and a paraplegic who gets around in a wheelchair. Most of the time, I communicated with my supervisor online. For me, time is very valuable. Less travel time means I have more time to read articles, collect data, and most importantly, prepare my write-ups."
“ 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.”
“ 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.”
“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. ”
