Message from the Principal of Mahallah Ummu Kalthum

Asst. Prof. Dr. Intan Azura Shahdan

Mahallah (Arabic for place) Ummu Kalthum was opened in 2013 and is a university residential college owned and operated by the Development Division, IIUM. At the moment, our impact and functions are supported by 9 staff members including academic, science officer and administrative staff.

Ummu Kalthum provides accommodation for female students, both undergraduate and postgraduates alike. At the moment, Ummu Kalthum does not have facilities to accommodate students with family.

Essential institutional aspects of life at Ummu Kalthum such as the spiritual support, sports, leisure activities and academic assistance – are made available to all student residents in keeping with the mission of the Ummu Kalthum as a homely, convenient and relaxing university residential college. The students themselves play a vital role in organising social, sporting and cultural activities that add so much fun, variety, excitement and enrichment to life at Ummu Kalthum.

Our hope is that when students leave IIUM that they do so having been provided with all the possible support and opportunities to have enhanced their personal and academic experience, as well as their spiritual and leadership qualities, ensuring that the combined residential college and University experience is a memorable and meaningful one.
