This university is focus on marine and biological diversity. The South China Sea marine ecosystem is just 5 minutes walk away, the Setiu Wetlands is just 30 minutes drive, the tropical rain forest is 45 minutes away and the Bidong island is just 30 minutes by speedboat. So many exciting things for energetic people who love the outdoors, sea, wildlife and flora.
