Software Eng. here. I think you shouldn't decide first as you haven't learn the foundations of computer science, you might not have idea about what are those. My advice is ask lecturers what are those before you choose it. I heard mis-leading informations from seniors and even some of my friends picked the wrong one (not what they really liked).

So far the lecturers I met do not read slides. Some explains until you know. The current problem I met are more on not-so-straightforward slides than quality of lecture. Facilities wise, 1 of the lab is having i7 8700 16GB ram and nvme ssd, some are still upgrading. Lab internet speed is fast (Usually 100mbps, hardware limited) but wifi still needs improving, need login and those every time.

My specialization must understand what is it with practical example, else just plain memorizing words. Some lecturers are very deep researchers and might forgot we students do not understand what are the terms, in this case, you must ask, else you go home and don't understand what are those at all.

I don't think there are 'difficult subjects', it's all depend on a person. With new syllabus they are killing memorizing technique really hard, like you even need to explain to lecturers what you wrote to get attendance.

MMU have 3 intakes.

- March/April
- Jun/July (Main intake)
- October/November

MMU kinda nice for me. Its time for you to meet new people and surrounding.

Why do you mind the amount of Chinese when you only come to trade the knowledge? It doesnt really matter unless you want to get really close activities with classmates such as halal stuff. I as Chinese myself have seen lots of non chinese students much passionate and knowledgeable than the chinese.
There is amount of Chinese like 30% but Melaka is like 90% chinese to me.

Well SE in Malaysia actually hardly finding lecturers who understands the theories practically, you can only try to pick those not reading the slides. I think we have a MIT grad here teaching a SE subject. (SE major have 4 subject so you had 1 by MIT grad and the other 3 try ur luck). The fundamental fields like OS, Architecture, networking, algorithms are fine, i can fully understand them only attending the class even without reading at home myself.

Contrasting to INTI, i think INTI having a major called mobile development? Comparing to SE of course SE kind of major is much atas than that. In this case i will recommend MMU.
