well this question maybe [PF] T.J. can help you to answer because he is currently a postgrad student now. or u may try to PM him

A level is equivalent to STPM/matriculation/foundation right? so most probably yes you are applicable to continue your studies with a bachelor degree program.

if i recall correctly, my friend did send his application manually but im not really sure how he did it. as for in ur case, i think its quite tough because ur friend does not have the foundation qualification. you may however try to call these people and check with them.

there are few of my friends who changed course last time. but only few of them got to change in the 1st semester and that was during middle of the semester while most of them got it in the 2nd semester. i guess ull have to stick with the course for a semester or so. u may try to contact the faculty first and see if theres anything they can do before u start the degree programme. here's the contact for the faculty economy :

congratulations on getting into UM u two!

im not sure if u guys can choose ur own room mate. maybe if u guys come early in the morning then perhaps u guys can choose i guess?

i recall that i didnt have any books at all last time lol. i only jot down the notes given by the lecturer on the screen. the lecturers didnt give any handout nor online notes.

yes the fees are subsidized, and u'll also receive some pocket money. iinm its rm1k per semester.

owh really? lucky then for u guys. it was only rm1k for me

so when is the exact date u guys have to register? is it stated already which college will u guys be staying at? 12th college i presume?

yes 2 persons per room. the room is kinda small though. ngam2 for 2 persons and no space for anything else. but the college is kinda nice. all the facilities are there. cafeteria, phone shop, ATM, surau with air cond, lift, grocery shop.

welcome! so ur matric no is WEK07 something?

3 or 4 years ago, the foundation students can bring motorcycles and even cars. but not now apparently. the rules are stricter now as the amount of cars in UM everyday makes the road jams in the morning and in the evening after work. if im not mistaken, at the moment only first year and above can bring a motorcycle and only fourth year and above can bring a car into UM. but thats on the paper.

practically, the guards are quite lenient as they dont really check who comes in and out from UM. they only check it randomly so if u arent lucky enough they wont let u in. good luck then

mind letting us know which area does this thing occur? which faculty? i dont think this problem occurred at FSKTM as the parking area is quite big and spacious.

check my reply few posts before.

there are 4 entrances into UM. 2 main entrances, one from bangsar and one from pj. there other two entrances from damansara and pj section 16 are quite hidden so find them yourselves.

the damansara gate opens only during working hours that is 8am-6pm and not on weekends. im not really sure about the section 16 gate, but as from my experience it opens daily from 8am to 9pm and not on weekends too.

the 2 main entrances open everyday and everytime. however the pj gate is closed everyday from 12am to 6am.

so to answer ur question, no there is no curfew in UM as the bangsar gate opens 24/7.

@megahertz : hows ur current working environment? any hot chicks there lol?

lol with the pig's head case. these NBTD people give so much headaches to others la. i am always wondering what will they get by doing this. really such a waste of time.

in PASUM, Sains Hayat students will take physics and biology but not computer science, while Sains Fizikal students will take physics and computer science but not biology. so it doesnt really matter as Sains Hayat students can still continue with Engineering or other degrees.

as for your case, if you're interested with computer science's majors, its better for u to switch course as u can have the basic understanding of computer science during the matriculation.



BTW, its great to see many new faces coming in here. please do PM me ur details so that i can include u guys in the first page post #4. thank u for the contribution and participation, and welcome!

i was a PM and im not a nerdy college's slave okay

no doubt the cheering and sub during orientation week were the only fun stuffs in it. sweet memories they are..

but i dont think there will be cheering and sub for PASUM's orientation week right? who are they going to fight against actually? only one residential college during the orientation week.

lol no la just kidding only. im not the type who torture people. one time i caught them smoking in the toilet i didnt do anything also lol. its their lives so they can do whatever they want. as long as the objectives of the orientation week are achieved such as the uni registration and bank registration, i dont mind what they want to do.

i stayed in 10th college until my 3rd year. and hidzwan was from 8th college.

Bank : CIMB and Bank Islam
ATM : CIMB, Bank Islam, Maybank, BSN etc

the ATMs are inside Kompleks Perdana Siswa. this building is situated in the middle of the university and its opposite the library.
CIMB is somewhere near there too. its besides the Dewan Tuanku Canselor. Bank Islam is near the Examination Hall.

btw, theres also a Bank Islam ATM placed at 12th college.

hi there and welcome Takudan!

first of all, the female tag is for real?

the canteen in KK8 will be closed eh? what its going to be then? a normal hall for general usage?

and talking about majoring, SilentSerpent will be butthurt seeing that u arent interested with MIS lol.

as for Software Engineering major, what i can say is the focus is more towards SDLC. most of the subjects emphasize the understanding of the system development and its attributes. such example of the subjects are Software Requirements Engineering that focuses on requirements elicitation process and methods, Software Architecture and Design that focuses on system architecture and design, Software Project Management that focuses on the management of the project as a whole, Software Quality that focuses on building a quality software and learning the software attributes, Software Metrics that focuses on understanding the calculation and metrics of software attributes and etc.

the subjects that focus solely on programming are HCI, Web Programming, Software Engineering 2 and the final year project of course. however, even though most of the subjects focus on SDLC, u may be required to develop or to enhance certain programs or systems as part of the subject's assignment.

in my opinion, apart from the final year project, i found that SE2 is the most challenging subject compared to others as u are required to learn component technologies and component based programming such as CORBA, .NET, EJB, OSGi and so on. in HCI, u'll mostly learn VB while in Web Prog u'll mostly learn HTML, PHP, CSS, Javascript etc.

do let me know if theres anything more that i could add. okay lets wait for hidzwan or megahertz for their story now.

There are forumers from Comp Science mingling around here. Please do ask ur question here as we are glad to help u no worries.

the general overview of bachelor of IT (Management) taken from the website :

more details on 3P here : http://3p.prestariang.com.my/

the 3P courses are the certificate classes offered by UM. the courses are free and the certificate will be given when u've passed the final examination after 2 or 3 weeks class.

where r u currently studying? u r doing ur diploma?

which college u are referring to? and is it for undergrads or postgrads?

the crampy part depends on which college. i've been to 10th, 2nd, 8th and 11th college during my time studying there. all of them are quite spacious except for 8th that is a bit small for 3 people a room. but then, the space cant really be compared to ur own room at ur house la. living in university, u'll have to adapt to survive what. another option to choose is to rent a room or a house outside around the UM area. but then, if u dont have ur own transport, its better to stay at the hostel provided. the public transport is kinda poor in my opinion.

about the UM exchange programs, yes it is available. but it actually depends on the faculty if im not mistaken. some faculties do provide exchange programs while some dont. and it depends on ur cgpa and how active u are also if i remember correctly.

the race ratio i think around 50% are bumis and the rest is combination of chinese, indian etc. but to me, the race ratio should not be a question in the first place i guess. just be yourself and mingle around with everyone no matter what race. the more friends u make, the merrier it is right? networking is important in everyone's life because u'll never know what the future brings.

above was my reply about the changing course in previous page. im not really sure how it is conducted now actually. u may try to give a visit to ur faculty office though for better advise.
