My boyfriend grad from Sunway's Computing course and I grad from APU's computing course. Certainly a lot of difference if you do comparison between both.

I have to agree that Sunway's syllabus is almost 2 times easier than APU and MMU's computer science course. Sunway's lecturers are so lenient in marking, especially assignments and projects, so it is quite easy to pass. In APU a simple maths module can have 70% of the class failing it.

So your point is that APU's computer science is better than Sunway?

On your question, "I believe so" is my answer. APU and MMU computer science/IT courses have a much greater reputation for IPTS.

Hey thanks for replying.

Sorry to bother you but can you tell me what IPTS is?

I will be applying as an international student so i don't know much about it. Actually nothing.

By the way, how is the Future Employment Prospects at IT field in Malaysia?

IPTS are private universities in Malaysia, while IPTA are public universities funded by the Malaysian government.

IT field in Malaysia is gradually rising, slowly but surely, as demanded globally where IT field holds a significant position on the world. Future employment? No idea. IT field is one of the top 10 best paying field in Malaysia.

Thanks man. It really helps me a lot.

But one thing I am concerned about is that the ''rumors'' and ''bad talks'' I keep hearing about APU.

Like I have heard that their teaching quality is going down, lousy lecturers etc.

But none of them seems to be a grad/at least studied at APU.

So it would be helpful if you can assure me of the quality.

Thanks and again sorry to annoy you haha.

In terms of syllabus difficulty, APU is far more difficult than Sunway. So it really depends on what you are looking for. Whether you are looking for a good syllabus, or a simple syllabus to pass.

There is certainly a reason why APU/MMU's computer science is more popular than Sunway. But be prepared, don't be surprised if you have 70% of the class failing a test.

For Malaysia's IT job prospect, fresh graduate programmers often get between 2.8k - 3.7k nowadays. Not bad for now, but if you talking about employment after you graduate, we won't know.

Thank you! These information really means a lot to me. smile.gif

I have compared both universities course structure and APU seems to have a better one!

Do me one more favor please if you can...
Since you are a graduate from APU can you tell me about their education quality and facilities?

And since your Boyfriend graduated from Sunway you might know about his experience.

Thanks again.

Please do not go APU if you have the choice. I beg you.
Monash>APU>MMU>Other

I would love to go to Monash but the problem is about the Australian degree which I am not interested in. Again Nottingham isn't the best choice for IT field.

APU itself is not a bad choice actually but I personally hated it... and why would you want a malaysia cert but not australia cert?
Pros
1. The IT standard there is high just NOT the way they access the student.
2. Student are all IT oriented. Therefore, you can learn alot from the student NOT LECTURER. Because the student have more passion and sometimes know better than lecturers. This is the benefit of famous IT school because all student interested/passionated in IT will gather there.
3. Easy pass
4. You can work there. [i worked for 2 years]

Cons
1. Bad lecturers
2. Expensive considering everything
3. I ate 2 times at cafeteria. 2 times cockroaches in food..........
4. No campus life. Go class go back sleep type....
*
Is easy pass a good sign actually? @kumiko_91 says that 70% fails and she is a graduate from APU.

Cons #3 and #4 is going to kill me. #3 can be avoided but #4.. need to think about it. sad.gif

well those 70% are those lazy people... but seriously is so easy to pass... i only studied the night before i get Bs and As.... tips given is 80% same with exam... if you wanna make you life hard come monash.... i have weekly assignments.... 2-4% each.... For APU is usually one time assignment.... and for some is 100% coursework... For my C programming, I copy my senior source code and add few extra implementation and I got A... [100% coursework]
I do not know about #4, because the new Campus is really almost complete can see the building itself already not just a empty land like it used to be...

Oh I see. Thanks for your time. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much! smile.gif .

I will be thinking about it.

Meanwhile more feedback are welcomed smile.gif

Edit: Just noticed I hijacked someone else's thread. Sorry about that.

kind of agree with this, i probably could say
IT/CS field is more of a self learning and understanding courses, where usually lecturer don't really play an important role in your whole course.....

the main reason many people failed is because they are lazy, i guess it's correct to say that, or most probably many of them hate programming -__-

Haha I am actually kinda new to programming but I am very interested in ComputerStuffs/ Programming.

Btw, which uni did you study at?
