Judging from your forum name and your signature, you're in networking right?

I'm not qualified to give any comment but one of my lecturer once told me, if you to do your master, find a professor who wants to take in Master students to assist his/her research. That way you can learn from the professor's research, get paid and do your master at the same time. Hope it helps.

Hi

Sorry this topic is quite old, but i have question to ask. I plan to be a lecturer soon. I have 9++ years of industry experience (in computer programming) until now, work at various companies such as software house, banking and currently at GLC. Have degree in IT before (cgpa 3.1 only), and just graduated with Master of Computer Science (part time study).

My question is, am i qualified for lecturer comp science / IT position in IPTA, and with plus this industry experience, can i straight to senior lecturer position?. And how do i apply for this job?

Thanks

lecturer? maybe. senior lecturer? no. not directly at least.

to become a lecturer u need a PhD. without it, u need either a professional qualification related to the course, or a substantial amount of experience. 9plus years is good enough, especially having worked in various companies. these can be viewed as equivalent enough for u to get into the position as a lecturer. but u need a PhD to advance. unless u're happy stick as at that position.

My older brother just recently work at KDU Penang as an English Lecturer.

He graduated with 1st class Master's even though he technically has 0 working experiences.

He used to work as a private tutor in Penang for about 3 months and a Mandarin private tutor at the states for about 6 months. Hope this helps.

To go into a public university, you need a PhD or intend to do a PhD. With a Master you can only become the tutor unless you have industrial experience.

If you go into a private university/university college (not college), you need to have at least a Master to be a lecturer. With a degree, you can only be known as a tutor.
