my sister works there..she said kementerian kesihatan malaysia trust that college and put SPA students there
but for what courses, i'm not that sure

How bout the diploma in medical labarotory course as Mahsa?Is it good?Ur sis got mention? Finding out for someone.

she's not that sure cz she teaches physics students only..she's still new there actually..

this is just my opinion, if u wanna take courses like medical lab or nursing, u really need to find a college which emphasizes on a lot of practical thingy.
learning theories alone is not enough. based on what i heard, mahsa's and masterskills' nursing students got problems when going for their practicum. it's because they are lack of practice. compared to students under gov funded institution.

but again, this is just what i heard..

KKK,thanks for the feedback.....

is it good to study Dentistry in MAHSA??
i'm confusing now~~
coz most of my friends ask me dun go there since my A-level result is good...
can any1 give me some suggestion?

may i know where are you now? XD

This is a repost of what my friend blogged about taking dentistry in Mahsa. Not to flame, cause any hate or purposely badmouth the university, but this is the sad truth. Forget about what those course promoters/receptionist/adverts tell u, this is the real thing happening. How true is this? Well I'm dental student there myself.

i guess i've never talked about my course seriously before. so this is it. anyone who's interested in taking dentistry in mahsa university college.. this is what you'll have to consider before u decide.

1. you'll have to be ready for last minute changes. EVERYTHING is last minute.

2. you'll have to be able to take up the stress of failing. over and over again.

3. you'll need to be strong enough to withstand shoutings and feeling stupid all the time. not that i've encountered so, but i've heard them. from the seniors..=)

4. will you have a life? for the first year, yes. but as it goes on... it'll dissapear.

5. ready to pay "saman" if you're gonna have a car. for there will be no legal parking space. NONE.

6. if you're gonna take the bus transport provided. good luck~

7. those who plans to stay in the hostel. this is the best part. you must be a person who loves cockroaches to love that place.

8. food's the most important thing? its fine. but for five years? have fun..

9. be ready to give up on all you're clothes. and buy only formal clothes. oh wait, let me be a little specific on this. the mahsa dental faculty definition of formal is, no sleeveless, no cleavage, no dresses, not even formal dresses, not even below the knees skirts, no open toe shoes, no flowered closed shoes, no high heels, no whatsoever hairstyle for the guys, and of course, best is.. you wear a baju kurung.

10. if you're not good at tolerating stupid behaviours. trust me, you'll have to. cause you'll be classmates for five years. and everyone will need any help that you can get. so best is. no enemies. and that's the most f***ed up part. however much you hate the person. you'll have to smile at him/her (her in my case) everyday in class........@.@

11. if you're ready to see lecturers going against each other. lecturers being bias. no ideal system. where the highest authority on the faculty doesn't give a sh*t about the students. if you enjoy the laziness of the faculty staff, how retardedly retarded they are. stupidness of the lab assistant. then yes, mahsa's the best choice.


the above are all facts. note that, THEY ARE ALL REAL TRUE FACTS OF MAHSA.

but you'll get through them. nothing biggy. cause at the end of the day, you'll have you're friends to complain to. you classmates to share you're burden. laugh about it. get angry about it. and cry about it. there's also a handful of awesome lecturers to make life there less sucky. so don't worry. you'll live.

And yes...I've lived through it.

haha i know this friend of yours.

awww no more updates? :/

Glad to read all the sharings.
I am doing matrix recently. Scare cannot get dentistry.
I am indeed very curious to know how's life in Mahsa (dentistry)
Lecturer teach the lesson in details or juz briefly touch n go?
Pls adv

Heyya, I understand your fear as I was in your position 3 years ago.

I'm currently a dental student in MAHSA. In my 3rd year. All I can say is that I don't think I have any regrets joining MAHSA. We just had our first batch of graduates. Most of them are already attached to different hospitals. Some in Hospital Kuala Lumpur and some all over Malaysia as housemans and dental officers.

The lectures are pretty good compared to some other unis because as our lecturers scolds us all the time 'YOU STUDENTS ARE SO PAMPERED, HERE WE MUST GIVE YOU POWERPOINT SLIDES FOR EVERYTHING'... So most of the time we will get lecture notes.

I heard from a classmate of mine who used to be in IMU, at IMU they just talk, leave the classroom, and your textbook is your companion.

AND OUR FACILITIES ARE PRETTY DAMN GOOD. Haha, after visiting the dental campus in Pusat Bandar Damansara (we have 2 campus, the dental students have a campus of their own)... I have to admit, the facilities are what made me join.

We have 250 students (each intake is 50 students maximum) and so we have nearly 200 dental clinics, meaning one dental chair for every student after year 2 studies. Because we get to treat patients after we finish year 2. So we get the best facilities.

Haha I RECOMMEND YOU VISIT MAHSA DENTAL CAMPUS to help make up your mind. See for yourself and you can ask the admin people to let you speak to a student then we can really tell you how we feel.

Also, I need to remind you that MAHSA dentistry usually have very full intakes, so I recommend you inquire early and check it out.

And also, we are already accredited by the Malaysian Dental Council (this is the MQA site for accredidation and all of MAHSA's course! CHECK IT OUT!):
http://203.106.19.130/mqr/english/eakrKPLi...m?IDAkrIPTS=236

As you can see, it's stated there we have fulfilled MDC's requirements.

Anyways according to the minsitry of health, they are going to stop private insitutions from opening new dental courses because there are too many dental graduates now. And also, we are the first few college to produce dental graduates with our first batch graduating last year.

I hope this helps clear some doubts.

But I always recommend going to visit all the other universities you are interested in ie. AIMST, Segi, etc. AND COME VISIT MAHSA!

And yes, I have to admit we have heard complains about our nursing students when they go to hospitals for their placements.... But so far, even hospitals have complimented the dental students to be better than some of the new medical doctors. HAHAS I don't mean to be proud, but MAHSA's dental students kick ass. We are also the course in MAHSA to have the prettiest girls But our nursing students memang hopeless. So tell whoever's sister that MAHSA dental students are some of the best, just other people from different courses memang hopeless -.- I heard the nurses even cried in front of patients cause they don't know what to do. BUT DENTISTRY STUDENTS ARE NOT LIKE THAT. Because our dental faculty is very strict. If we screw up, we have to face consequences.

But did you know our Pharmacy course is an external (2+2) UK Nottingham course and Physiotherapy is from Northumbria? Meaning if you graduate, you get their degree and you degree is therefore more recognised??

So if I were you, I would also consider Pharmacy, then I get to school in the UK for the same price also HAHA.

Anyways, hope this clear some doubts.

Don't worry, I don't work for MAHSA or help promote them. I just wanna clear the name of MAHSA's dental students from all the horrible rumours. School pride!

Our entry requirements have been increased because of more students applying... So be sure to check that out too.

But like I said, go check out other schools because that will help yourself decide better.

Good luck with your future!

PS: Like the guy mentioned above, there will be a lot of things to complain about in MAHSA ie. no parking at the medical campus, no good food, last minute changes. BUT BUT BUT you'll meet amazing classmates (LIKE US) and our lecturers SAYANG us a lot hahahas cause the dental school is a very close group. So our lecturers really care for us (like in highschool) and it is very personal

So you will complain, you might suffer, but when you go through it, you'll go through it with friends and awesome lecturers. And when you graduate and get a good job, you'll just laugh at all the sufferings and remember the good times

there's no housemanship for dental officers. i'm surprised you as a dental student got confused with this

in other words your lecturers are bad because they go ahead and spoonfeed you with lecture notes?

is the campus still in shoplots?

this is all political. don't ever take MQA's accreditation as a sign of quality.

Dentistry in Mahsa is it good ? .. Are the lecturers good ? And what about the facilities ?

Where is the faculty dentistry ?
