Fieldwork is crucial in Plantation Management programs, bridging theory and practice. This study identifies various challenges of fieldwork courses and their impacts on undergraduate students' learning experiences in the Plantation Management Program at UiTM. Quantitative research via Google Forms surveyed 131 students. SPSS 28 analyzed data using descriptive, correlation, and regression methods. Findings highlight physical activity (µ=3.83), academic support (µ=3.90), and safety concerns (µ=3.89) as primary challenges. Correlation shows physical activity relates positively to career readiness (r (129) =.378, p=.001). This research informs administrators about challenges, aiding in solutions exploration. Future studies should focus on mitigating fieldwork challenges.
