I'm interested in taking Diploma in IT programme offered by MMU (Cyberjaya Campus). Before I'm pulling the trigger, I want to ask some opinion from the seniors who're currently studying or had studied the programme before. Are the modules taught to you guys any good? Is it on par with the current leading industries? Are the lecturers know what they're teaching to you guys about or not at all?
Next, is about the facilities. Is it comfortable enough to get the knowledge from the lecturers in the class hall? How about the cafeteria? Is it clean and are the food is any good? About the library, are there many books that'll help me in my studies and to read just to kill some time? Last but not least, can you wear crew neck t shirts and jeans to the class hall or you must wear office attire to the class hall? Is the hostel rental price reasonable enough? or it's expensive?
Do you guys will ever recommend MMU (Cyberjaya Campus) to a new student who wants to learn more about IT and wants to have fun here and there? What're some places that you guys recommend to go when studying at MMU? Lastly, do you guys ever regretted studying at MMU? Hopefully I'll get some input from you guys as soon as possible. Cheers.
I'm from Diploma Malacca in IT. Now in Cyberjaya for Degree.
1. You want diploma or degree? Diploma will teach you how to do it, meaning, doesn't care your process as long as you produce something. Degree will teach you how it is done, meaning, even you done it the process is important. It is quite updated, I wouldn't say fully updated, but some lecturers really push their syllabus to the latest one. For lecturers, I would say 1 out of 16 do not know what they are teaching at all, like sticking to 10 years old knowledge, which is acceptable, based on my experience.
2. Lecture hall is OK, sometimes too cold. Wifi is improving. Cafeteria cannot, totally cannot for my taste. In Malacca there are LOTS of food nearby campus but in Cyber isn't, you probably have to drive at least 10km away to get good food.
3. I do see lecturers often borrow new books and interesting books but when I go to visit the library there just super old books. I've seen lecturers borrow some books like cryptocurrencies (considered new) and few books that costs RM250+ in kinokuniya but I didn't find any in library yet. If you search for them you should find them.
4. rounded T shirt is ok, jeans is ok, slipper they close 1 eye in Cyberjaya. Malacca is much stricter than Cyber.
5. Cyber is expensive, idk about hostel, outside is quite expensive. If you have car I suggest live far a bit, will save you a lot of money.
6. Depend on what IT you want to learn.. it's like asking, a student wants to learn more about food, but in food you have cooking, frying, baking all those. need to be more specific. If you really want to prioritize fun and make studies as secondary I recommend Malacca, club is much more active there. MMU malacca, a lot of places to go, in Cyber I think not really, have to go far a bit, but closer to KL is easier to attend events.
7. I didn't regret, it is pretty good for it's price. I mean, you will hear a lot of complaints here, but we didn't pay for price of MIT students.. if you have rm600k budget going overseas definitely good exposure and experience, for limited budget mmu is good. 1 thing i really satisfied is toilets here is really clean. Remember, if you wanna ask something here, straight to the lecturer, don't listen to seniors.
