Academic

The offering of general subjects, science and mathematics is offered by the Department of General Studies (JPA) and the Department of Mathematics, Science and Computer (JMSK).

In addition to the full-time courses, PMU also offers short-term courses that are open to the public and the local community under the Time Sector Privatization (TSP) program. The program promotes lifelong learning among the local community. Through such programs, it is hoped that the establishment of PMU in Mukah could help the local community to improve their knowledge, skills, competencies or gain new knowledge and skills.
