Hello guys, I need some recommendations. I(Dip. Mechanical Engineering grad 2008) plan to further my study in part-time mode, until now I don't know which university should I go. For now, I work in customer service and decides to do degree on telecommunication engineering or computer networking since I lost my passion in mechanical. I read about OUM but from my research on the net, OUM is a place where you want certificate, not knowledge. So, I guess that is not appropriate action to learn something technical from OUM. Or am I wrong? Any fees around 20K++ to complete and location around KL/Selangor will do.

So, any ideas? Thank you.

Wawason open university, since u looking for telecommunication, it has Bachelor in ICT

this is even worse lah..i tink what TS wants to to gain proper recognition and knowledge..maybe u can try monash..

hi,
wanna ask some advice..i already have dip in meche eng from polyteknik..plan to further study,degree in meche eng..already reg with utmspace,skudai branch for this january2012 intake..but doubtful abt the learning method and heard lots of student failed to finish their part time study (quite long around 6-7years to finish all the courses) ..or i can apply for other course which easier??suggestion??

is it really tough to past all the paper?anyone can share their experiences?

is there any financial aid for part time study like MARA loan etc?

tqvm..

There's Open University Malaysia, Wawasan Open University, Asia e University that offers distance learning courses. Oh, there's also IPTAs like UPM/UKM/UiTM/UTM that offers part time program too.



If you're talking about part-time courses offered by IPTA, please double checked their entry requirement (which might be quite strict & the diploma must be related with the degree course that you applied for).

Of course, for OUM/WOU/AeU, they can accept any recognised Diploma (MQA/JPA) to enroll to any of their degree courses.


This is where you're quite wrong. Working adults choose OUM/WOU/AeU due to their flexibility in learning modes & affordable fees. Most programmes are accredit by MQA & recognised by JPA. OUM alone has produced more than 30,000 grads working both in private & public sectors.

If you think OUM/WOU/AeU is place for certs only, try asking their learners, how they've to struggle with assignments & exams. Despite entry requirement quite lax, the syllabus of the programmes are on par with other public Universities in Malaysia.


OUM no longers offers technical/engineering courses. Instead, they offers programmes that is most suited to working adults needs based on job market & industries they're in.
If you're looking for prestigious Uni, then apply for public universities' part time programmes like UPM/UKM/UiTM/UTM ....

Added on January 30, 2012, 1:27 pmIf you're looking for technical courses, then UTM Space is the BEST choice, since their part-time engineering degrees is recognised by JPA & Board of Engineers Malaysia.

Evidently, yes, UTM engineering degree is VERY, VERY tough. Either full-time or part-time, those technical courses are designed with quality in mind.

My best advice, stick with it. There's no shortcut for success, especially in engineering field.

However, if you have doubts, then Open University Malaysia also offers part time studies but far more flexible lah ... although OUM offers semi technical courses such as degrees in manufacturing mgmt, occupational safety health or technology mgmt .... no engineering course lah

-http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings
the syllabus, transcript and exam are prepared by LSE but the certificate is from University of London itself, appx RM20k for 12 subjects, can be completed within 8 years, distance learning, 100% exam-based...
