Hi, I'm currently taking Software Engineering in MMU. This is my second semester, but it's my first long semester(which contains all the IT related subjects). I find SE very hard. Especially coz it contains a lot of maths and etc.

I love Photography, Photoshop and all those related digital things. So I am thinking to change my course to do what I love. Change to Faculty of Creative Multimedia. The courses are ;

Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Digital Media
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Film and Animation
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Media Innovation
Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Interface Design

Someone explained to me in Kopitiam's MMU thread but I don't understand that much.


So I guess it's either Film and Animation that suits me the best right? But is it true that I have to take Foundation all over again?

How is the job opportunity after I graduate compared to Software Engineering? Salary like?

Thank you so much btw

It is true that you have to take Foundation all over again, this time in Creative Multimedia. That's the rule of FCM. Or perhaps you should try to ask the FCM office in case there's any changes?

To understand more about the majors, ask FCM seniors that you know from diff majors. Or else, seek consultation from your academic adviser (but then who knows if the adviser knows anything about FCM?)

Job opportunity and salary wise I don't know much so not in a good position to comment

I see, the office is at the building right?

I only know 1 guy how's studying Digital Media, will ask him later.

Btw thanks Steven!

i have a friend taking digital media...most of the time i saw him godek-godeking photoshop

Nice. Can ask him whether I have to take foundation again or not?

I'm your super senior but I went from FCM to FIT instead.

I see, from which course to which? And why bro?

Anyone? Need to know =

Alpha FCM -> Digital Media -> BIT Multimedia Systems

Because I love programming more than I love drawing.

How good are you with drawing on paper?

pulok doh

I see. I'm not a drawer lols. But I'm willing to learn.

So far my dad is paying, guess I will take PTPTN sooner or later.

Tolong ambo bos! Give me your advices!

Hmm you wont be thought how to draw, that you have to learn yourself - you'll be expected to come up with a lot of pencil sketches. Like a LOT of pencil sketches.

If you're taking PTPTN,FCM graduates typically earn lesser than Software Engineering grads, so it will be a big pain in your butt when you wanna buy your car, house etc later.

I see. So it wasn't the case eh? The loved photoshop part?

You do know that photoshop is not even 5% of FCM courses right?

Even for Film & Animation?

Yes. Film & Animation consists of a lot of 3D modelling and animation using Autodesk Maya.

Added on July 14, 2011, 9:42 pmDid you even ask the students in real life at all? Or ask the admin office to refer you to a FCM academic advisor or something?

I see. Is it a good course? Job opportunity etc?

No coz don't have any friends at FCM yet. Will go at the office tomorrow or on Monday.

FA, not many animation house in Malaysia. A lot of FCM students end up doing other things. Job opportunity a lot better if you do programming.
