Working in FSKTM is very flexible but depending on your supervisor also. You should update your supervisor when you have significant progress thru email. No need to take leave to meet supervisor lah, just schedule with your supervisor upfront, maybe 1-2 days before because supervisor normally don't stay in the lab all the time. Sometimes they are outstation, sometimes they have meetings and sometimes you can't even find where is him/her.

True story. Lol. It hurts and I already have medical issues that I have told them earlier before signing the contract as RA and register for Masters. Then different staff from UM will keep asking you like why is your blood report having all results at abnormal level and etc etc.

I'm super tired to explain again and again that I have cardiac disease and I have a pacemaker. But they won't stop asking, and I have so much problem throughout the registration and submission of the document. Then they ask for chest X-Ray and stuff, total craziness.

Yep UM students are perhaps too busy to check forum xD

I'm from FSKTM, taking Masters of Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence).

If it is recognized by MQA, then most probably no problem even though it has been closed down. Check with MQA for your partnering degree. However, if MQA does not recognize it, then the chance for UM to reject your masters application is 99.999999%.

What are you registering in UM?

Postgrad on research mode should be fine. Undergraduate then better not.

Hahaha, that is normal price. That was what I paid to get CTC for immigration purpose.

But actually CTC for application can be done by all the senior lecturer in UM. I got all my documents CTC by my research supervisor (which is a senior lecturer of my faculty) without a fee, but that is with research mode course so I am not sure whether coursework mode works the same.

I don't think so. You have to match the subject's schedule so carefully in which most of the time, clashes.

But if you are very lucky to have the subject's schedule matching up, you could.

The best way to do a dissertation/research mode postgraduate study in UM, with an assigned supervisor and to have your desired topic, is actually to browse thru the Research Assistant list and see which project title they are recruiting. From there you will know who to contact.

And supervisors, which most are senior lecturers are people who knows how to "hack" into UM's system. They know the best on the whole application process, By becoming RA you can potentially get postgraduate studies fund from your supervisor, which most of the time will be fully funded.

For partial transcript I think you have to ask your faculty. But I doubt the faculty and IPS will allow this.

It depends on whether you want the experience, and whether you can cope with working and studying. Working and studying is not for everyone.

Schedule is quite packed for full time. However I think you can work on weekends.

Rules say you can't. But nobody cares.

You do research masters or academic masters?

If academic then I believe it is easier than research. In my experience, UM papers are not really exceptionally harder than other uni. I compared with my friends who studied in other public university and private university, it is about the same. I just grad masters from UM and I think it is okay.
