Hi guys... I just finished my MBA and considering whether should go for DBA or PHD as well.

But mind anyone can advise me the course will be in full time or part time?

I think its hard to find local college or uni providing overseas DBA. Except one, (http://www.itd.com.my/itdphp/business/itd_business.php) University of South Australia.

Anyone heard of this University?

University of Sunderland. Why?

You want to study MBA?

Just received an offer letter from OUM for their DBA (May 2012 Intake).

Year 1: Rm14,400
Year 2: Rm14,400
Year 3: Rm6,180
Year 4: Rm6,180
Total:  Rm41,160


What do you guys think about OUM ? (Please note: OUM only offers part-time courses)
MMU: Rm61,900 (FT 3years)
UCSI: Rm54,600 (FT 3years)
IIUM: RM48,000 (FT 3-4years)
UKM: Rm44,000 (FT 3.5years)
HELP(U): Rm42,000 (FT 2.5-4.5years)
UUM: Rm36,080 (FT 2.5-3.5years at Razzen Business School)
USM: Rm28,350 (FT 3.5years)
Cheers.

Thanks Mr Wang. Appreciate it. 

I do agree with you, where OUM's students are all working adults and couldn't focus on studying full-time.

However, Professor's expectation does not change compared to most Private Universities in Malaysia. (I have spoken to DBA Professors from MMU, UCSI & UUM on their course structure, exam format, assignment and pass-rate)
Most Universities are offering DBA with 10-12 modules (50/50 assignment & exams, some modules requires presentation) and thesis (averaging about 65,000words).

In terms of high quality expectation, UKM & USM requires all DBA students to maintain a minimum 3.0CGPA in order to graduate from their course.

To maintain 3.0 CGPA in a doctorate level degree is quite tough. (But I'm sure some students are capable of doing so)

Cheers everyone.

Please be reminded, doctorate studies either DBA or PhD-BA offered at OUM specifically designed towards working adults. This means it is more structured, flexible as for these adult learners to plan & manage their doctorate studies without having to sacrifice their careers.

OUM already have doctorate students graduated in all 5 PhD (Business Admin / Education / Science / Engineering / IT) courses offered at the University. Yes, it is all research basis that required thesis dissertation.

My personal view, irregardless of any University in Malaysia, if you're willing to sacrifice valuable time, finance in order to pursue doctoral studies, deserve a salute. Because many pursuing PhDs always either make it or break it halfway.

But, the fact some adult learners willing to juggle family, work, personal life with studies at the same time, earn more respect from me.

I guess most people forgotten that doctorate courses requires external examiner from other universities.

All doctoral students required to defend their thesis in the viva voce, where external examiners must attend.
That's how Universities ensure all thesis are at the doctoral-level research.

Cheers.
