yes...Open University Malaysia
how is the degree? recognised by employers?
*
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 ...

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 ?
*
Master Project Management already received full accreditation by MQA. Check out this link http://www.oum.edu.my/oum/v2/accreditation.html

QUOTE
Does it offer online study only? any class room or discussion needed among the teams?


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).

Is it good to take MBA with OUM?


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

QUOTE
Any other better alternatives to suggest?


Wawasan Open Uni or Asia e-University.

Is the MBA Cert recognised by private and govt sector?
*
Yes. Already got accreditation from MQA & recognised by JPA.

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


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.

Hi there, does anyone know how long it takes to complete a diploma course there? Anyone done diploma course at OUM?
*
3 1/2 years (aka 3 years 4 month = 10 semesters). Yes, it is quite long, because the dip prog are part time basis.

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

You'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).

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.
