In Malaysia, accident rates involving pupils and youngsters are still considered high after 12 years of RSE implementation in primary schools and 7 years in secondary schools. In 2018, 7.5% of fatality rates involved people aged between 6 and 15 years old, while 29.8% were aged between 16 and 25. Nowadays, RSE in Malaysia has been formally implemented in primary and secondary schools for students aged 7 to 15. However, RSE in Malaysia has not been implemented at the university level. Therefore, this study aims to determine university students' perception of RSE. This study found that most students agreed that RSE needs to be taught at the university. Most of them also agree that RSE at university should be taught as an elective subject (68.2%). Only 28.8% agree that RSE should be taught as a mandatory subject.
