Wow, you got loan or pay out urself???? one year got how many semester???

Hi,

Sorry to add in. I'm also having the same problem here. I'm a person who's considering WOU or OUM but the course BACHELOR OF PSYCHOLOGY but my highest qualification is only SPM and i've left study almost 7 years but i'm keen to study back. Then,i'm also scare i'm unable to cope with the study especially through distance learning due to tutorial class is only once a month and everything through online. What if the online is very bad since malaysia online thing is so super slow and always down and get disconnected most of the time?

Actually due to study back,i've change from a higher paid but work on weekends job to a lower paid but 5days weekdays job. I'm really hope that with this degree,it can bring me to a higher level but scared of my capabilities to cope with what i want study(psychology) as i've none of the knowledge and have been 7yrs not studying especially through online(reason as i said above).

But i also don't want to waste my time or money if after i've started it and then,regretted cz i really cant cope with it(coz no one to ask and all self-study) and quit.

But also at the same time,i want it so much that i want to change my life with it, hope it can help me to get to my dream...

I hope someone can gv me some comment on this and help me to thk out of the box...

Thanks a lot to whoever who will reply me here

Hi, recently I also considerinng to study WOU or not due to some factor still under my consideration:
1. Is the degree well known by the company
2. Is the lecture qualified and experience
3. should i study part time and full time ( really dun know choose)

Currently I wan to persure in logistic and supply chain management, anyone in this couse.

Lol, you're not a young kid anymore, think wisely and practice displine. If everybody can do it why not you. Go talk to the consultant in WOU. They might help you. Good luck bro.

1. WOU Degrees are recognized by LAN/MQA and well known to some extend due to the first batch of degree holders are only going to graduate this year 2011. But I've seen alot of companies advertising in WOU and our Forum Board. Such as Flextronics, CIMB and ETC.

2. Lecturer wise, some are extremely good and committed to their job but a few of them are bad. I believe every universities do encounter this common issue too.

3. There is only part-time course if I'm not mistaken. The bad side is it takes 5 years to finish a degree but if you're a diploma holder then you might get exemptions up to 2 - 3 years depending on your CGPA and past performance.

i like Open University , because it is flexible when you want work and stdy , my aunt went to open university , it is very relaxing , and they got a discussion group as well if you got a doubt .

I'm not sure about other universities, but theres one thing i'm sure about is you're not gonna make it through if you dont have discipline because of the numerous assignments and course-works, not to mention the final exams as well

I do agree with you that part time study require strong discipline, this is what i get advise from all.

I am the second batch WOU student in Computer system and network. This June will be my last semester exam. Currently doing my project. My advise is don't delay, just get yourself started since you get so many paper exempted. 10 paper = about 2 year of study. as one can finish only 6 paper/year. I am sure you can finish your study within 3 years. I started in 2007. Doing assigment is harder then the exam itself as it take time.

Since we all are working adult with limited time for study. Time management is a must for distance learning as well as internet connection at home. You can choose to go to the library to study with your friend if you are from Penang. It nice place to self-study there once a week. They are now giving free startup fees for those who sign-up for the study. Just give it a try and see if it work for you. As a working adult with full time job, we don't have the luxury of doing full time study and distance open learning is our only option at this moment. Hope you can make up your mind and decide soon as WOU now is open for enrollment for coming july semester. Good luck to you.

Hi, Can i ask something about credit transfer?

I have a degree in Actuarial Science, but i am interested in obtaining a second degree which is in banking and finance

so.. When i do the credit transfer, the bulk credit transfer. How does it work?

i mean for example

Subject passed in Actuarial Degree
1) Business Accounting 1 - grade A
2) Business Accounting 2 - grade C

Subjects in degree in banking in finance
1) Business Accounting 1
2) Business Accounting 2

Given both Actuarial and Finance subject are the same, the coursework are similiar. How do they transfer the credits?

It is that they totally write off business accounting when u take the finance degree, or they bring the grades over to the new degree?

im more concern on the CGPA actually

plz advise

Hello!!
I am currently doing MBBS second year in Aimst but I found that this isn't what I want and how my life should be in the future.
I am considering to enrol in Bachelor of English(Hons) in WOU. I love writing and hope it will be part of me.

Is it only part time courses available? I'm just 20 and I don't have a job so full time will be ok for me.
Please help me out and thanks in advance!

Hi, if I'm not mistaken you need to be at least 21. Call WOU up and maybe you can nego with them haha
