UKM Speech Science interview


Finally, this is the one that I really wish to share with you all. I had attend UKM Speech science interview in the afternoon session. Luckily, there are around 12 candidates only in the afternoon session and thus, it took me around 30 mins only to complete the interview session
First of all, I think most of the people will confused with this programme. When I get my offer letter, I have to check for many times to ensure that “Speech Science” is really what I think it is because the “Science” word is quite confusing. In addition, UKM speech science programmes is the same as USM speech pathology or speech language pathologist. You should also realise that UKM is the pioneer university in Malaysia offering this course and students get the chance to do their practical in the largest speech and audiology clinic in the Asean country.
During the interview session, the setting and procedure is the same like occupational therapy interview. It is a 3-3 interview and you may go in with audiologist candidates as Speech science and audiology programme is closely related, or we call it as “SISTA Course”.
These are the questions I get during the interview session:
1.      Why you want to study in UKM?
2.      Is this your First Choice in UPU, if not what if I offer you ur 1st and 2nd choice altogether, where will you go?
3.      If you still insist in choosing this programme, are you telling the same thing during other interview session like your 1st choice interview?
4.      Let’s say you are conducting a group project, and you found that there’s 1 member who didn’t attend all the meeting but get the highest score, what would you do?
From what I had experienced, this programme is amazing as we learn how to play with toys, interview a lot of speech therapist and all the senior here is very helpful and friendly. I am so happy I get to be a part of the rehab sciences member and really be a part of the world by helping people.

I pay a lot of respect to those who are in the rehab field as I feel that yes, we seek help from the doctor when we are sick, but I think as a developing country, we need more professionals from the rehab field like occupational therapy and speech therapy who play a part by helping more people with disabilities to join and contribute to the society.
Some people may look down on this course, but I can tell u, its not easy to have a child who have disability. Some client may look normal, talk normal, but really not normal when they cannot identify basic object. So if we have no speech science professional in this world, who is going to help them?

So, Be brave and all the best in the interview. Wish to see you in UKM.

USM Speech Pathology interview

The idea of me writing a blog pop out when I was preparing for the speech pathology interview at USM Kubang Kerian, Kelantan last year.   To be honest, I am not very interested with this course during that time as I only aimed for physiotherapy. However, USM does not offer any therapy courses other than speech pathology and thus, I put speech pathology as my 1 st choice in USM application.   Two months later, I found that I have been called for the interview. I couldn’t believe how happy I was during that time because there were no biology student other than me in my school been called to USM interview.  That’s the time when I google any special comment from the senior, and it turn out that the senior’s blog is very helpful to me. So, I hope that what I have shared afterward will be beneficial to you.   I was attending the afternoon session and I was the only boy there (Haha, quite advantageous to me) The staff called for 4 candidates for the interview ...

UKM Occupational Therapy Interview

Hi guys, thanks for following my blog. After the USM speech science interview, I was glad that I get the chance to go to UKM KL campus for 2 interview session, Occupational Therapy and Speech science. What I am going to talk about today is what I had experienced during Occupational therapy programme interview. In the morning, I have started my nervous journey from crossroad hotel KL to UKM KL for the morning and afternoon interview session. Please be reminded that the interview session will be held in Kolej Tun Syed Nasir or you can set your GPS as “Klinik Audiologi and Sains Pertuturan”. It required some time to travel from fakulti Sains Kesihatan. Generally, it was a 3-3 interview session and it require us to speak in both English and malay. I think that the lecturer is very kind as they wont interrupt us until we finish our speech. However, I found that the interview session in UKM is somehow different from USM. These are the questions they asked during the session: 1. ...
