hi, few questions regarding the degree in accounting and finance offered by Sunway:

1) Will i be able to work as an accountant with dis degree?
2) Is this degree accredited by MIA ?
3) Is this degree recognised worldwide or just in M'sia ?

Please do reply as i'm to make my choice as soon as possible. thx in advance.

1) Accountants generally, will have to sit for professional papers in order to be authorised to sign a company's accounts. With this degree, you get 9 paper exemptions from ACCA and 8 paper exemptions from ICAEW.

2) Our degree is accredited by MQA the Malaysian board for accredited degrees. MIA by itself does not give accreditation for degree programmes as far as we know.

3) This degree is in affiliation with Lancaster University, UK. You will be treated as a Lancaster graduate upon graduation. As far as worldwide recognition for postgraduate programmes, you won't have problems. But as far as international popularity, give it some time. It is a very young programme.

Hi,
I am planning to take up ur CAT course on either March or June intake.
I found out that March and June intakes will finish their studies at the same time. So the March intakes will take a 1 year and 4 months to finish and the June intakes will only need 1 year. T am wondering is there any difference between these 2 intakes ?

P/S: i am not from KL so if i go for the March intake i will have to waste the 4 months hostel fees.

Sunway got offer law degree?

Erm, i'll be pursuing professional qualification after getting degree. Dat means i'll be doing it part time so i'll have to make sure with the degree i have i will be able to get a job in audit/accounting firm. And yes, Degree in accounting offered by MMU Melaka is accredited by MIA. And the phrase worldwide recognition indicates that i'll be able to get a job any other countries ?

I guess I can say that my forecast results were not too bad. If I were to study on a regular basis and ya know, live a fun life of a teenager, can I still do well? Or March intake require students to study all the time? and I would like to know about the Globalization subject. I heard it's very tough from people.

HI ..
i would like to know more about CAT .. fees .. intake .. duration and etc ..

Please PM us your email address.

Added on January 14, 2010, 8:28 amThe March intake is an accelerated intake therefore, the programme will be cramped compared to our other standard intakes. You will have to weigh that into consideration.

Students may find Globalisation tough because it is a 'new' subject after SPM. It depends on a person's interest and willpower to success in the subject.

Added on January 14, 2010, 8:56 am1) You can do your professional qualifications both full-time and part-time.

2) You will need to check with MIA again about MMU. They aren't listed on their website And also, about this accreditation, if you're looking for worldwide recognition, then shouldn't you look for international/higher accreditation. Our affiliation with Lancaster, UK guarantees a higher standard.

3) If you'd like to work overseas, you'll need to take ICAEW in most cases. You will also need to check the respective country's Accountancy body/board and ask about which qualification is recognised.

Added on January 14, 2010, 9:11 am1) We don't have a June intake for CAT. I think you're referring to July.

2) The July intake is the arrangement of subjects. For the March intake, students will take 6 subjects in the first semester and 3 in the second. July students will take 5 in the first semester then 4 in the next.

3) Hope this answers your questions. For hostel booking, do book early. Spaces are limited and they go fast

You usually recommend which intake for CAT ? March or July ?

The July 1 year intake would be cheaper. So it depends on your choice of whether to start earlier or just wait a little while longer.

And that means i get a cert from Lancaster University or i will be having affiliation with it upon graduation ?

okay, i'm asking for a friend. For the CAT course if my friend goes for the March intake, is it possible for him to catch up and join the January intake class? And has it been done before?

It has been done before. We will go by a case-by-case basis. Please refer to the Information Centre for this.

Yes you will get a cert from Lancaster and be affiliated with them.

Does that mean that there is a possibility that someone in March intakes can finish CAT the same time as the January intakes ?

There is a possibility. But it will depend on the student's own initiative and hard work to complete the professional papers in time and to pass them all.

For CAT, March intake won't catch up with January intake, you're basically 6 months back. Unless you catch up by taking more papers

may i know how is the marking scheme in sunway???whats the marks to get an 4.0??
What CGPA can get first honour degree in sunway???
thx for ur information...

Jack, which programme's marking scheme are you looking for? Each programme and its various subjects differs in terms of marking scheme.

Usually. for first class honours, you will have to get 70% and above. This is if you're talking about the UK system. Our VU programme (Australia) will have a different system.

Hi, I'd like to enquire about Sunway's University of Manchester's MBA programme

a) How much does it cost?
b) How long does it take?
c) Does it accept ACCA / Oxford Brookes as pre-requisite?
d) Course structure? Can it be done part time, or must be full time?
