Posted by: Najib Boudlal (Morocco) I am a Cameroonian and I wish to study medicine in Morocco under the care of the university! I don’t know if my case could be handled! Posted by: Sanim Sanang Yvan Marcel (Cameroon) Hope you are in the great of health. I am writing on behalf of my daughter, Nur Atiqah Binti Halil 980116105354 who are interested to persue her study in Islamic study in Morocco for this 2017/2018 session. She did apply through proper channel i.e. through Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education sometime ago. However till to date, no result was issue on her application. Upon checking with the ministry, no one would be able to give concrete answer as to when the result will be announce. As a parent, I am afraid that she might have missed the announcement of the result and might also missed the 2017/2018 session as most universities has started their sessions. Nevertheless if she failed on her application to Morocco, I would immeadiately arrange for her study somewhere else. Hoping to hear from you on the status of the application and really appreciate your kind help on this matter.
