About

Canterbury Malaysian Students’ Association (CMSA) is a non-profit student organisation representing the interests of Malaysian students in the University of Canterbury by fostering close bonds amongst the members. We are registered under the University of Canterbury Students’ Association (UCSA) and work closely with International Student Support (ISS). We promote inter-cultural awareness and friendship among the tertiary students and its wider community by actively organizing various events including Malam Malaysia and the Bersatu Games. Besides having fun activities, we will be introducing an “academic buddy” system in 2010, enabling students to connect better with each other within and across disciplines.
