Not really a 9-5 job. Sometimes classes held at the evening time, especially for grad school classes. Even weekend also need to go back to office, especially for ipts.

PhD is a prestige, only if it is from a top ranking university and/or you got good grades/published papers in international refereed journals/conference proceedings. Nowadays so many people taking postgrad degree around the world, making the masters/phd qualification just like typical degree.

you are right. at least it's not a bad career. still good.

Already got this information in the first page

no worry, our friend here is trying to help only.

UKM is 44K but UUM only 37K

Go for the reputation, don't go for the price.

which has better reputation ?

Yeah UKM is more reputation but not in management course,
UKM is a "Rojak" University got medical college etc etc
not like UUM is mainly a Management University only got three college all are management & biz
furthermore UUM next year may get the AACSB status.

UKM is better ranked than UUM, UIA (or IIUM in english) also offering DBA program.
but we can only do DBA/Phd once in our lifetime, so must pick the best one.

reputable university is important. the quality of research you can produce also important. go to top university but result is shitty also no use. just simply replicate existing research also no use. got phd from reputable university but never or dunno how to write manuscript for conference proceeding and peer-reviewed journal also no use.

U r talking abt 2 different issues here. First is the reputation of the university/ranking, the 2nd one is your own quality, whether u can excel in your phd/dba study. We can't comment about one's quality as u know abt your own quality better than others, but if yourself has the quality and u go to the quality/reputable uni, the chances u can progress well under the quality supervision is higher. Statistic also showing that those graduated from reputable uni have greater in demand in the job Market.

As I mentioned, we only live once, and most probably we only study dba/phd once
in our lifetime, we shd choose the uni carefully. Don't simply choose Uni A because it is RM5k cheaper than Uni B.

ok guys, we all know. the quality of research is really important. apart from UKM and those government U, do we have any private U ?

to be frank, I hv not found any good DBA in Msia yet. The DBA in Msia, after graduated, may able to get u a job ( teaching or consultancy) within Msia, but not outside Msia. Not many dba that offered in Malaysia recognized in western countries.

how about local Phd then ? able to go over sea?

Same. If u want to teach, your phd/dba obtained from which uni is also very important. I got an MBA from UM, in fact this is the only uni in Malaysia that in the world Top200( according to the latest QS rankng), but still not many know abt Uni Malaya compare to NUS or uni chulalongkorn. In your CV, a doctorate title is important, and next important question is where u obtained it from?

GSM UPM may have its own DBA program next year...

Sure? Any link to see ?

No link yet, but i have confirmed with my friend from UPM. UPM DBA will start next year.
