The Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition (FSMP) at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) is inviting science stream students to pursue studies in food science and nutrition at the university.

FSMP offers four Bachelor’s degree programs with honors, specializing in Food Service (UH6541001), Food Science and Nutrition (UH6541002), Nutrition (UH6541003), and Food Technology (UH6541004)

Dean of FSMP, Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Hasmadi Mamat, highlighted that all four programs are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), with two receiving additional recognitions.

“The Nutrition program (UH6541003) is accredited by the Malaysian Allied Health Professions Council (MAHPC), while the Food Science and Nutrition program (UH6541002) received international recognition from the International Food Technologist (IFT) in December 2023,” he explained.

Dr. Hasmadi shared these details during an academic promotion event at Labuan Matriculation College (KML) recently.

The program aimed to introduce and promote FSMP's undergraduate offerings while inspiring matriculation students to explore food science and nutrition as a career path.

Director of KML, Mohd. Mahyuddin Mohd. Noordin, expressed gratitude for the initiative, stating that it provided valuable exposure to KML students.

“This promotion program not only enhances students' understanding of academic and career opportunities in food science and nutrition but also motivates them to prepare for university life.

“We hope such programs will continue in the future, and KML looks forward to exploring more collaboration opportunities with FSMP,” he said.

The event saw the participation of 1,260 students, who were given insights into academic programs, career prospects, scholarship opportunities, and student activities at FSMP through detailed briefings by program heads.

Also present were FSMP Deputy Dean of Academic and International Affairs, Associate Professor Dr. Wolyna Pindi, and KML Head of Student Management, Syahmun Yahya.
