Is the Business Research Module (BRM) compulsory?
Hello everyone -
Just a little update on a development on a college in the Klang Valley (let’s use the term SC to refer to it).
SC has made the BRM module COMPULSORY for its current batch of F7,8,9 student, at a price of RM1,200.
What does it mean to have the module COMPULSORY? Will students be BARRED from taking the ACCA exams if they do not take the module with SC?
Some of my findings:
1. It is the RIGHT of students to take their exams regardless of the demands of the tuition provider
2. The official ACCA website provides a list of the ACCA papers that can be taken for the exams: BRM is NOT ON THE LIST. It is an OPTIONAL service that a tuition provider can offer
3. If you need some more clarification, call ACCA Malaysia at 03-2713 5051. Ask them:
- Is the BRM COMPULSORY? Or JUST ENCOURAGED to develop ‘critical thinking skills’?
- What is the repercussion of not taking the module as far as your course completion is concerned? (NONE!)- Take down the name of the person and if they say that the BRM is compulsory, complain to ACCA UK: info@accaglobal.com
I think SC creating fear in students to JUST MAKE MONEY?
It also bundled the OBU mentoring together with the BRM.
Personally I think it is their right to do business, but not in a way that cows students in submission with HALF TRUTHS...[
OBU has stated that students HAVE A RIGHT TO BE MENTORED BY ANYONE OF THEIR CHOICE! [
In light of these developments, critically think of what SC is saying to students! Your call!
Its very obvious you are talking about Sunway. And I agree, they are brainwashing their students to make even more money. Previously they introduced some Business Communication Skills that isn't about communication, they thought elementary english in these classes. Luckily for me, it was free of charge but the students after that are required to pay for such courses.Hello everyone -

The BRM if I'm not mistaken is to help students know more about researching, referencing, etc. for their OBU thesis. More money later on if they opt for their OBU.
Students just have to know what are their rights and not simply give in to the college's demands.
