internship usually fac/lecturer/ help you register one, only all the required documents for internships are submitted and approved.

banyak siok ahhh


how about ask JPA to sponsor?

well not say I dont want. but with my degree under them. I already have to bond 7 years. if master most likely plus another 3 years. Total of 10 years. Fuyoh....

Lol, let's see what i can answer:

1) Google up Mybrain15, under MoHE. I think you can request postponement. if your negotation skill is powerful, tell them to consider working as RO or RA as part of the bond.

2) Fee: http://research.mmu.edu.my/ips/node/79
by research, main concern is actuallly the funding.

3) Title: http://research.mmu.edu.my/ips/node/452
or you can approach your potential supervisor and see if there is any title, or you may propose your title

4) Tutor post is no longer available, only RO/RA. The wage depends whether you or your supervisor have fund allocation for it or not.

5) Refer to (1) or http://research.mmu.edu.my/ips/node/433

6) If by research, http://fet.mmu.edu.my/v4/postgraduate/rese...rch_geninfo.htm

Damn i am good! I am able to answer everything

always refer to the subjects offered by your faculty, search at buletin board

1) wow RA for 7 years? can become Phd ad

2) funding concern huh... must ask future supervisor about this

3) i see, looking through the list

4) No more tutor? so no more seeing young tutor teaching us tutorial? Does all research title become RA/RO? or depend on the lecturer only? and part of mmu staff? kinda confuse

btw any benefits of it? and the course wat the diff between full time or part time. Apart from the duration

1) part of the 7 years la..meaning if you did your master in 2 years..then bond for just another 5 years

2) funding is very important

4) stil got young tutor teach you meh? RA/RO depends on whether got funding or not...difference between these 2 i forget dy..if not mistaken, one is paid by MMU, one is paid by the fund..this one u need to ask ips or the faculty. if no RA/RO, then consider self sponsor and go the mybrain15 route.

5) if you become RO/RA, it is likely become full time dy..part time means you are working outside, then got longer time to juggle between these two.

mybrain15 oni sponsor the tution fees? how about funding?

funding have to apply from MOHE, MOSTI, private company, etc

then i better go find more info on this

thanks

Finally my RA contract ended. Not going to renew.. erm both RA and RO can be funded from external funds. But doing part-time based on MMU policy you can only get paid for a maximum 12 days in a month with the rate depending on your RA/RO appointment contract (mine was quite petty). Labor claim must be done through GAMS.

THere's anotehr thing called as MMU-FGRS - Graduate Research Assistant for higher pay, not sure about it seems like post graduate students are to get this GRA position instead.

From what little I know, RA and RO differs in the requirements to qualify for it. RA does not require a degree, so a student, especially those carrying out their FYP, can be hired as RA. Once, you have a degree, then you can be hired as a RO. Another notable difference is RA does not have EPF and SOCSO, and allowance claims are made based on maximum 12 days a month as Mr. Botz mentioned. For RO, you have a regular monthly allowance, EPF and SOCSO. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

On top of that, I think there is also a Research Scholar these days, whereby as the name implies, it involves obtaining a scholarship from external companies.

Also, even if you are hired as an RA/RO, you can still apply for mybrain15. If you are lucky you will get it as well. Mybrain15 covers only the tuition fees, does not include library fees, IT fees etc. As far as I know, MOHE deals directly with MMU, MOHE will be informed on how much to pay, and then they will pay directly to MMU.

About the funding for research projects, I'm not sure, but I believe usually these stuff are handled by your supervisor/lecturers? I believe lecturers usually try to get funding from various organisations for research projects of their interests, and once they obtain the funding, they can usually hire a RA/RO/GRA to carry out the project. I think so la... Bare in mind though, usually funding comes with requirements such as publication of papers/journals at the end of your research.

I thought only post grad students get RA/RO position? not?
I plan to start my post grad studies while still doing my fyp. btw I also planning full time, any diff?

I do have a backup funding but it not much. if can get funding and scholarships would be better.

do ro/ra become part of mmu staff? and we can use the equipments as needed? or do we have pay like to use equipments in other uni?
