hi. just wanna ask :
1) how was the environment, facilities, management, staff at mmu melaka recently? i heard since the president has change, its getting worst.
2) is it easy to get parking?
3) if i took banking n finance course is it easy to get job? what are the job prospect?
4) i just realized banking n finance are not offered for this upcoming oct intake. What if i took human resource since i saw the course structure for 1st sem every subject is same, after that i change my course to banking n finance in sem 2? Can or not?

Environment and facilities is good. You will have all the basics covered although facilities are quite old. Management is bad, quite bad. But so too is other university. You just have to get used to hoe they work and get on with life.

No. Parking in campus is extremely hard to find. It is easier to score in exam than to find a parking. However, you do have plenty of parking slot outside the campus, you just have to walk abit more that's it.

Sorry can't answer on job prospect.

I was in similar situation before. The answer is can. But here is a few possible problems that you will face.

1st, priority will be given to new students by the time you look to transfer. It means that slot will be made available for new students first, when all are registered and there are still slots, then only they will entertain you.

2nd is that most likely they will not offer in next year October intake as well. However, there are certain pre-requisite subjects that you need to take in order to move to banking and finance 2nd year. AND these subjects by right are taken in your 1st year 3rd semester. All things considered here, you may have to finish first year, then stop for one semester, wait for march offer then only enroll. If there's no more slot for march, you may have to defer your studies to June. Or you can juggle around your subject and take similar subs first after your first year. But doing so and not following your course structure is highly not recommended. Especially with the new system that give priority to students following course structure. Can get it?

3rd, like I said there are certain subjects that requires you to score certain grade.

4th is once you are settled with your group of friends, it will be difficult for you to leave the surroundings. If you are adamant to change then that should not be a problem.

referring to ur answer about the changing course on 2nd part, does it means im only allowed to change my course after 1st year? what if i want to change it during my 2nd or 3rd trimester on my 1st year?

thank u for ur explanation anyway. i appreciate it.

Yes you can. But in order to move to banking finance 2nd year, there will be one or two pre-requisite subjects that you are required to attain a certain grade first before you can apply for the transfer. During my time, that particular subject is in my 3rd semester of first year. Which means i cant possibly change my course before that. UNLESS somehow i ignore my course structure and somehow manage to squeeze in the required subject into the timetable of my 1st or 2nd semester of 1st year, which is not recommended.
*
whoa. i must go thru some pre-requisite sbject first then only i can transfer my course? what if i take the pre-requisite sbject the moment after i change my course? it is compulsary to have the pre-requisite sbject 1st? btw if u dont mind, what course are u taking right now? when ur intake?

No you cant. That subject is a pre-requisite subject for a reason. It is compulsory to take the subject first. If not mistaken, the subject name is foundation of finance (or something like that). 

Initially, i have the same plan as yours. But instead i am currently taking marketing management now.  :D I am in my last semester of 2nd year, October intake.
*
i dont see foundation of finance on banking n finance course structure. i think its financal management 1.

ohh. why u didnt make it? whats the major problem u facing to change the course at first?

Yes it is, my fault.

For my case, i am not so persistent in taking banking and finance. The only motivation of mine is possibly better career prospect. Like i said, since financial management is in my final semester, i may have to delay my studies for one semester if things dont work out well, which is not an option for me. Important thing to note here, if you are aiming not to pay for your ptptn, to convert the loan into scholarship, then any delay in graduation will mean auto disqualification.

My suggestion for you is this. If you have already done career planning or are really interested in taking banking and finance, then consider to enrol in next year march intake. During these few months, take a part time job and pick up some practical experience, or register for some short term courses. Rather than taking the chance entering october intake and risk messing up your timetable.

If you are not so particular, then marketing is not that bad a course also.  :D
*
to wait until march, walao, its too long to go. yes i was planning to convert my loan to scholar anyway. but im gonna think about it. at this moment, i really want to continue my study asap. do u know any short term courses around melaka? or mmu have some short courses offered?

Half a year is not that long. Considering the impact. Taking part time job for half a year will let you learn alot of precious experience. I am not too sure of any part time courses in Melaka. My friend took one english course in stamford. But im not sure whether the course will be of any effect for you.
*
hmm will reconsider about that. anyway, thanks a lot! u really help me with a lot of information n explanation that i needed. gudluck for ur exam tho. jia you!

Most likely you still need to pass the certified copy for record purpose. Any requirement on who can certify it?

Anyway, the numbers you contacted are the Corporate Communication unit. Wrong div.

To be sure, try the admission unit:
06-2523472
06-2523641
*
Still no one answer vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif
No requirement stated, thats why i want to ask if anyone who works with government can certify it.

i just found out why no one pick up. There is a briefing on something going on..few other departments are involved. Try the clerks.

06-2523442
06-2523470
06-2523443
06-2523442

If confirm no requirement stated, then you may bring it to your future faculty and get their assistant managers' help to certify.

Ok thanks. icon_rolleyes.gif

usually the result will be release in the last week of break, mmu portal
no idea what is that, contact the system administrator
this happen for popular courses. try to check if you can appeal.
*
How to check? Actually i want to take banking n finance, but they said that course only offer during june intake. So i decide to take international business but with an intention to appeal for changing course to banking n finance later on. If like this, i appeal ti change, can i appeal again?

I just email the head of department and they said can appeal through dean of faculty. My problem is, where to know which one is the dean of faculty? I open the faculty of business portal and click on faculty members. Still blur which one i suppose to contact? cry.gif
