so conclusion is even if i failed one subject in sem 1 and i haven't resit, i cant advance right

correct. But you can see the manager and ask if they can offer the subject. Then you need not to repeat one subject in one long sem.

For degree, it is a must to have MUET result for the application.

so mmu foundation got MUET subject??

MUET is only taught as a subject in STPM.
During foundation, you have to register for MUET exam and achieve at least Band 3
to apply for MMU's degree.

hi, im new here, however i have a question to ask. my lil bro r taking dip in IT, and for his first sem, he is required to complete 2 subject, equivalent to 8 credit hours with each subject of 4 credit hrs. my question is, usually how many hours he'll attend to class for a 4 credit hrs?

theres no specific time, it depends on the lecturer and the subject itself. but for normal cases, be prepare to attend at least 6 hrs of lectures

arghhhh..... time for choosing what major in degree..... whether AI or Networking ar??? pening lo....

how about financial engineering course in MMU??
Izit the lecturer good??

A good student never have to be worry about the lecturer.

wht exactly is financial engineer?

Financial engineering is a multidisciplinary field relating to the creation of new financial instruments and strategies, typically exotic options and specialized interest rate derivatives. The field applies engineering methodologies to problems in finance, and employs financial theory and applied mathematics, as well as computation and the practice of programming; see computational finance.

Despite its name, financial engineering does not belong to any of the fields in traditional engineering. In the United States, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) does not accredit financial engineering degrees.

Financial engineering is also the process of creating new securities or processes, and designing new financial instruments, especially derivative securities. More importantly financial engineering is the process of employing mathematical, finance and computer modeling skills to make pricing, hedging, trading and portfolio management decisions. Utilizing various derivative securities and other methods, financial engineering aims to precisely control the financial risk that an entity takes on. Methods can be employed to take on unlimited risks under certain events,or completely eliminate other risks by utilizing combinations of derivative and other securities.

Financial engineering can be applied to many different types of currencies and pricing options. These include equity, fixed income such as bonds, commodities such as oil or gold, as well as derivatives, swaps, futures, forwards, options, and embedded options. With financial engineering comes many risks. Risks are divided into market risk and credit risk. Market risks can be managed using risk identification, risk measurements, and risk management. Credit risks can be managed using credit modeling and credit pricing.

To become a financial engineer, one must have a strong understanding of financial economics, mathematical tools such as probability and statistics and differential equations, as well as have engineering principles such as software engineering.

Notable financial engineers include F. Black and M Scholes for the pricing of options and corporate liabilities, Robert C. Merton for his theory of rational option pricing and the introduction of stochastic calculus in the study of finance. Robert F. Engle is also notable for the work in analyzing economic time-series with time-varying volatility. Clive W. J. Granger analyzed the economic time series with common trend.

Financial engineering is normally employed in the securities and banking industries. It is also used by quantitative analysts in consulting firms or in general manufacturing and service firms, in corporate treasury, corporate finance and risk management roles. Financial engineers will often hold doctorates in computer science or mathematics, although, increasingly, have instead completed a specialized (terminal) masters degree - usually the Master of Financial Engineering, or the more general Master of Quantitative Finance.

Google please before you ask

do we need extra-curriculum certificates to enroll into mmu?? must??

It is not a must. But according to the registration website, you need to include them together if you have them.

hi there
i have a question:

for fist student, what is the minimum credit hour needed to earn dean list?
just want to know
thanks

if following the new policy, you should have to pay Short trimester 20% RM 2,600... no matter how many subjects u took.
PTPTN is based on CGPA...as long as your CPGA didnt fall below 2.0, PTPTN will grant you loan.

minimum 12 credit hours for long semester..for short semester, im not sure..

is the registrstion fees pay on every new semester ?

nope...once only
