I hope LYN would be kind to drop some reviews on these UNIs, as I'm have interest with em. Thanks in advance.

Your question is very broad. Can you narrow your question with a more specific sub-questions? What course are you interested with?

and where are you located?i`m guessing from miri swk?

Curtin is very expensive..
MMU better if want to take up computer courses..

Curtin is expensive perhaps he is rich XD

Huh, CurtinMiri expensive(yes I admit it's above average)? I went to an education fair and this sales guy tell me it's about 20000 per annum. Compared to MMU about 15000 per annum.

MMU is local while Curtin quite global so prospects would be better i think.

Let's compare it's engineering course... how does both of them fare in it.

Im one of the MMU students here in Lyn.Net. To me its a good uni with multi cultural people here and among the best IPTS around. Most of the peoples from all over the globe are here including African, Arabic countries, Indonesian, India, China, Vietnam and few others that i cant recalled. What do u plan to study actually? From there we can help bit by bit.

Hmm, is the degree from MMU recognise by other countries or just Malaysia only?

well, i don't know whether MMU is recognized internationally or not. But we do have some research relationship/collaboration with few companies/institution, namely MIT, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, NTT, Alcatel, Sun Microsystem, Motorola, Nokia...

with these namelist, i'm sure there's something there.

i wont be able to give much since im need to head to class already
from http://www.mmu.edu.my/v4/main/main_nosubme...du.my/accredit/





click on the link i provided and read through the whole thing on that page itself to find out more

Hmm thanks for the info, so is not recognise in countries like australia or US?

Not sure which course--- coud you tell me more about bio instrumentation and which course is involved in petroleum production technology?

well, you could head up to this site

http://fet.mmu.edu.my/v4/undergraduate/beng-bi.html

There's some explaination about it.

For the petroleum that stuff, not so sure though.

Somehow I pc cannot access the link provided.

For BEng(Hons) Electronics majoring in Bioinstrumentation, you'll be studying Biology related subjects sich as Biology, Fisiology and etc. It's a course that has multi-disciplinary; Biology, Electronics and a little of Chemistry. Your job prospect will be in the medical system line; those hospital electronic gadgets such as ECG, EEG, MRI and etc.

If you're entering with SPM, you need to go through one year foundation called Alpha Bioinstrumentation which is slightly different from Alpha Engineering. You may not be able to change to other electronics courses during your Beta Year (First Year).

Take note that BEng(Hons) Electronics majoring in Bioinstrumentation is an approved course by MOHE and it hasn't been accreditated by LAN and IEM; so don't ask if it's recognized.

There's no chemical engineering related courses in MMU. Sorry for that.

the decision is in your hands

I've got the MMU application form for june intake.. what do I have to include besides SPM results? Do I have to write an application letter or what? Thanks in advance.

SPM result should be sufficient.

No need to write any letter.

Happy waiting and good luck for your admission.

gsdfan, fill in the form and submit back to them.
And I don't think you need the SPM result when submit this application form.
You will need to submit it during your registration itself with all the relevant papers included with another envelope(an envelope will be sent by MMU telling you have successfully accepted,and all the details of all the relevant stuff that they need will be told,all inside this envelope) ,if you're approved for the course.

I have problems in choosing which course to go for. Can I state more than one option in the course selection section of the form because I'm afraid being rejected?

My SPM result is- BM 2,bi1,math1,admath6,bio3,fizik2,chem4,est1,sej4,moral?

I believe you have 3 choices for you to choose for your degree,if I not mistaken.
You can choose, and they will select the best out of it. It is advisable you put your first choice as number one, ranked accordingly. I don't see you will face any problem though. Your result are quite good,infact better than mine

the latest one is Codemaster
they recuit Film and Animation ppl

Thanks, for informing.. another thing do you know the criteria for being selected. My cocurriculum are not so good just peringkat sekolah.

Do you think I'm qualified to take engineering course? And I heard robotics course has not been approved yet.

no prob abt the co cu thingy as i was also not active in secondary sch n now i'm also not active
btw, an engineering student in MMU here
robotics alrdy got approval long long time ago..

wait gsdfan.
I just realise something.
You're applying into degree using SPM result?
You need to take a foundation if you're using SPM result. After that you just can proceeed. IF you want to enter degree, you could use through foundation ticket, diploma, or stpm. A SPM won't entitled you to a straight degree.

Btw, fruitie, if he mean approved by LAN, yes, it is not approved. As well, you can head up to this link to view all the LAN approved course in MMU.

http://www.mmu.edu.my/accredit/accredited_courses.html

You could go here to check all the approved stuff here, either LAN,MOHE,JPA..

ok my mistake abt tht stevie.
but he's coming to MMU to take a degree programme with SPM cert? sure?
well, gsdfan u cant do tht. btw, stevie alrdy explained.

just say something for MMU, this morning I went to KLCC convention to help out in IEE Faraday Lecture which is organised by IEE UK. when there was a free time, I have a chance to chat with a IEE(FYI,IEE stand for Institution of Electrical Engineer,it's an organisation based in the UK)representative, her name is Mrs. Dorrie Giles came all the way from UK, and when I told her I am MMU student, she said MMU is a quite reputable university in UK...this is what I got from her, believe it or not it's ur choice...

well, just to hint you something
MMU also could be Manchester Metropolitan University
Google it and you can see MMU
I guess, her interpretation of MMU is the above I mentioned.
If you told her Multimedia University, then that might be a different story

I choose MMU because I got relatives and friends there.. so I think it's good.

So you will be living with your relative lo

Let's having lunch together when you have enter MMU

is it IEEE or IEE? i'm confused

she was in KLCC at that time, which is in Malaysia, will a Manchester Metropolitan University came all the way to Malaysia just for this lecture...be logic a bit

I said already it's an organisation based in the UK, of course is IEE

I want to take subject related to biomechano...(yes blame gundam,evangelion, rahxhephone,eureka7...and those mecha animes)

What course should I go for? Bio instru foundation or eng. foundation?

you will most probably not be rejected as your results are good

sometimes it does happen, just appeal

about MMU vs any other university in the world

Studying in most local universities does not prepare you for the real job world

truth be told and this is a fact

Time spent in 'some' useless societies could be better spent elsewhere such as building your portfolio

am not saying joining societies are useless

getting additional certification will be important in giving your resume the added advantage over the rest of the applicants

e.g. a jobstreet position for shell or british tobaccocococo sually has like 5k applicants lol

having said all that, that was what exactly i didn't do during my university days as all i did was have FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN lmao

but really if you really want to make an impact on your prospectable employers in the near future get your portfolio done

*wink wink

i don think bio instrumentation suits u but if u wana learn biology go ahead!
i think foundation of engineering better because u can take robotics engineering when u r in degree
c'mon those gundam o whtever doesnt exist n pls don so into it, it's ur future not any playground coz once u r in here, u'll understand my words.
i'm taking engineering, alrdy in degree programme now, i'm half dead!

just my suggestions anyway, no offence ya.
