If you have an MBA, you can surely be accepted for the PhD programme.

Why not call them up and enquire further?

But before you enroll, I'd advise you to learn up on some basic research methods and statistics.

and i also do not knw the schudule of study for part time for PhD in Accounting.

Yes I am  icon_rolleyes.gif

I made the switch because I prefer to do research in the behavioural field. However, it still falls under the entire school of business. So, the switch is not that drastic.

I pursue the PhD because I'm in the academic line. So, for sure I will be going back there. I don't think I have anywhere else to go.  laugh.gif

You can sign up for the very part-time PhD in Accounting program in USM, Pulau Pinang.

Get the contact of Blofeld's supervisor. If not mistaken, this is Blofeld's 3rd semester...

But I stay at JB is possible study part time in USM ?
How is the time table ? Weekend class or once a month class ?

Unbelievably, UTAR is cheaper compared to USM.  laugh.gif I have compared it before.

Over here, it costs about RM3k per semester. So, it's roughly about RM6k per year. I believe the semester fees at UTAR is cheaper, if I remember. If I'm not wrong, it's just about RM1.5k per semester at UTAR.

Is 9k for the entire three years?

Fees:

1. Total fees for Malaysian Students is RM8,048 (full time) and RM9,266 (part time) (excluding RM50/RM60 application processing fees) and International Students is RM18,416 (full time).



2. A recurring fee of RM1,000 (Malaysian Students) and RM1,200 (International Students) per year is payable in the event the study period exceeds the minimum duration.

Yes it is possible.

There are no classes for PhD programs over here.

But if you are in JB, you should be doing it somewhere nearer instead where you can meet your supervisor regularly.

Singapore would be nearer to JB.

How about doing it at NUS?

NUS and NTU i think b4
but the fee is super expensive rclxub.gif


can i know the timee table look like
most likely i will choose UTAR whistling.gif

Multivariate Regression

You can also refer to any basic statistic textbooks to refresh your statistics.

Haha. I truly understand that.

If you prefer UTAR, then you should do it in UTAR because it is very important for you to have a good relationship with your supervisor.

Furthermore, UTAR is a private university. So, I believe the supervisors will have a stronger motivation to guide you. If there is any problem, you can complain to the university and the supervisor will be in trouble.  laugh.gif
