thanks

Okay, just for sake of education cum discussion.

I used to be an MMU student: 1 year MLK, 3 years Cyber. Management student majoring in BFE.

When I was a student, I find these few things difficult for me:

1) A good transport. I wish there's a system that allow us to pool cars among students. Dangerous to go back home alone after studying at campus till late night. Bigger problem for girls.

2) Finding a good place to rent. Especially in my years of studying, there is not a single and reliable source to look for good place to rent, so I have to ask around. I was considered lucky to find good places to stay (eg. hostel, Cyberia, Emerald Park in Malacca). But some of my friends who were not so lucky ended up staying at not so nice areas like Dengkil areas, Puchong which is far, and so on.

3) Share and trade stuff. Things like second hand textbooks were so difficult to find back then. If you only know senior students well, then it is alright. But what about new students or introvert students? Nowadays I don't know, but back in my days, sharing and trading things is close to impossible.

Of course, like what thpace said, everything can be found in intranet portals, websites and so on. I couldn't agree more. But wouldn't it be cooler if there is an app version for each campus? An app that solves all the above problems?

Solutions:

1) A section where good students can offer transport aka. car pooling among each other? If practiced correctly, isn't it much safer and better for everyone? Don't care if it's charged or not, there is an option there.

2) A section for students to look for reviews of places to rent? Fellow students can post and rate these things in app. If it can work in websites, 100% can work in apps too.

3) A section where all students, senior and junior alike can trade and share stuff, ANY stuff. You name it: text books, laptops, computers, furnitures, and so much more.

I never said doing all this in an app is a necessity. But if a person is given an option to have such an app, wouldn't it be so much more convenient? Whatever I want in relation to campus lifestyle, I can straight away look in the app and find what I want.

Sorry for too long though....

While it appears beneficial, unless that function is made available traditionally ie computers, it will be pretty idealistic to assume that the apps will solve all the said problems. Big thing to say. Computers ARE still revelant.

But if that apps is available and integrated with traditional websites, and offered foc, then why not.

If now saying that computers are not relevant, I would be appearing big mouthed and superficial.

Yes you are right, now most apps are preferable to coexist with websites to make it more cohesive (after all, most students would have their own laptop or pc in the first place!)

And as thpace mentioned, most websites or intranet portals do have such thing. I cannot confirm this since I am not in MMU for many years but if it does exist, then it is easier to facilitate the creation of the app, otherwise it has to be created from ground up.

Having an app is not something to be under estimated. It is a convenience for smartphone users to have such an app. Let me give you an example: If you were at campus and you wanted a car pool service yet you forgot to bring your laptop. Maybe you can use lab's pc or whatsoever, but isn't it handy if you happen to have your smartphone and the proposed app?

The app must be FOC, otherwise there is no incentive for a student to use it. Usually, these kinds of infrastructure are either developed by knowledgeable app developers (some students can be good at this), or developed from outsiders paid by university.

Let me put it this way. If it is beneficial and does not create a disadvantage situation to students without smartphones (eg no access at all), then by all means develop the apps

Yup sure it does. And I put it this way: I'm contributing ideas only. I only know basic functions of how app works but in the end, it's up to the app developer to materialize the idea.

Why not you too join and create some beneficial ideas for the students of MMU? I seen that you started this thread and being active. I really salute you and your effort is commendable. The MMU students should really appreciate you for such dedication.

Sorry but I have to say this: If my idea is cool and workable, hope you could vote for the idea I conjured. I made up 17 apps ideas but just vote what you like.

Thank you!

Maybe I am not fully exposed yet to this android apps thingy anyway, good rebuttals and all the best.

Apps can be on any platform, Android is just one of them.

Thanks a lot for your support. Keep in touch!

Hello, i am a local student that took GCE A-levels in 2010 with results of CDD in 2 sciencs and 1 mathemathics, i took few years off to really consider what i want to do for a degree and decided to join MMU's Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons) Finance with Multimedia.

But under the local students requirement:



there's no A-levels stated, only under the international students section.

and for A-levels , it's stated there that "Pass in A Levels or its equivalent with 3 Credits, inclusive of Mathematics or Economics or Accounting, or Business Studies"

so i need 3 Credits in Alevels? meaning 3 Cs?

do i need to even consider going into MMU? is there even a chance for me to enter the programm? should i start considering other University?

edit: MORE QUESTIONS.

about the English requirement, is MUET really compulsary eventhough i have a B in A-levels General Paper subject?

which is consider as a proper english/IELTS substitute in most UK/Australian universities.
