Hi Bro and sis,

I am a degree holder with about 9 years of working experiences at the moment. I am thinking to study part time MBA. Due to constraint on fees, i am quite interested with OUM after reading the thread here, on Master of Project Management. It takes 2 years to complete with cost RM20,040.

Anyone can advice if this course is recognised and accredited ?
Does it offer online study only? any class room or discussion needed among the teams?
Is it good to take MBA with OUM?
Any other better alternatives to suggest?

Any advices for me on the seection?

Thnk you very much !

bro..I'm OUM student.currently taking my degree ..
dun know how will the Master learning method but for degree, you have an option to fully ONLINE (no tutorial / class - face o face with lecturer) or attending tutorials (2 times a month, every Sunday)

my brother did get a degree from there. according to him, the studying environment is quite nice. facilities are quite enough for every students

Is the MBA Cert recognised by private and govt sector?

How is the feedback from private and govt sector on the cert from OUM?

Hi there, does anyone know how long it takes to complete a diploma course there? Anyone done diploma course at OUM?

i also want to know.. are there many young people there study? hope can study with young people also..not just boring adults.

Most employers looked for degrees recognised by MQA/JPA (aka by Malaysian Govt). Most OUM programmes already accredited & recognised by MQA/JPA.

Of course, OUM caters for working adults only, which means 99.999 percent of its students are already working, so no problem for employment after graduation maaaa ...

Added on February 13, 2012, 6:50 pmMaster Project Management already received full accreditation by MQA. Check out this link http://www.oum.edu.my/oum/v2/accreditation.html



OUM offers both. One is blended mode of learning with weekend classes (twice a month) & online learning with self study. Second option would be 100% online learning & self study without tutorial attendance (get 10% discount on tuition fees).



Quite OK lah. Still not easy to pass mah ....



Wawasan Open Uni or Asia e-University.

Added on February 13, 2012, 6:54 pmYes. Already got accreditation from MQA & recognised by JPA.



As being said, OUM served the working adult market. Most employers in private sectors actually encourage their staffs to pursue MBA programmes as long as the programmes are recognised by MQA/JPA/

From scuttle butts, if those in public sector, most of 'em OUM MBA grads already got promoted from DG41 to DG48 lah. In private sectors, most went up the managerial level lah.

Added on February 13, 2012, 6:57 pmYou're looking at the age range of working adults in Malaysia .... basically from age 21 to even 50 yrs old in the class. Generally though, in a class most of the time, within 23 to 45 yrs old students lah.

thanks so much for the info. ? so far I only found OUM having part time dip course.

any idea if I go in to do a degree at OUM with a dip, any chances of getting direct entry to year 2?

That depends. If you've relevant & recognised Dip, you may shortened duration of study from 4 1/2 years to 3 or 3 1/2 years (based on exemptions - ranging from 1 - 1 1/2 years).

Protoculture:

Would you recommend any diploma holders to further their studies at OUM, then? Say somene with a diploma in IT from INTI?

can anyone from oum guide me? i am interested in taking up courses in oum too, penang.

Btw, does anyone know about their exam days? Are their exams conducted during weekdays or weekends? Weekdays means working adults need to take leave :/

I'm planning to apply for Master of Information Technology at OUM, is it good to earn a Master at OUM? Anyone can please comment about this? TQ

Well, OUM does offers MIT, and learners may choose to specialise either in IT Management OR Networking. During the final semester, learners have option either to opt for Master's Project OR taking two elective subjects.

It does costs quite a bit, but for postgrad students who are working in private sector may apply for MyMaster education assistance (under MyBRain15 scheme) and also can withdraw EPF Account 2.

If you're looking for flexibility and added value of having a related postgrad cert alongside with your current work experience, then OUM may be a good choice, although you may also consider other options such as WOU, AeU and other IT postgrad PJJ courses (Pengajian Jarak Jauh) as offered by IPTAs.

Hi, May i ask?
About the accreditation of the Master of Project Management, is it conduct at Kuching, Sarawak. If yes, HOw is the Accreditation of this course if the MQA only certifited the location of

Blok B, Jalan Tun Ismail 50480 Kuala Lumpur

> is it stil eligible for the student at Kuching, Sarawak?

Hi guys. I am about to enroll in OUM for Bachelor of Psychology (Hons). However, I'm just wondering if the degree is recognized locally and internationally? Will I be able to continue my Masters overseas?

Thank you!

Hi, did u take this course? I also consider to enrol in OUM for this degree. How's that?

En-Rolled now i'm googling how OUM projects works? it seems you have to do it alone which is a bad thing, brainstorm by yourself? sigh~

use google to help u with ur assignment. dun underestimate the power of research.

Hi, I want to know is OUM degree recognized worldwide? This is because I hope to study abroad once I graduate.

anybody know about coursetrac?

Some of my friends are not recognized by empoyers, because they do not have diploma.
I know that many international students are scared with overseas educational system. They do not want to study Many of them did not hear about service that give personal coursework help support to their clients. They offer you consultancy and s in all education related issues. With their help you will definetely get a diploma and then will be hired by the company you dream about

defeat the purpose of studying. no different from buying a degree
