I graduated from overseas university and I don't know which uni is better. I don't plan to go overseas for PhD because of scholarship problem. So I think just continue local. Let say I already found good supervisors to do PhD in both universities with research i am interested in. One uni requires me to write thesis in Malay which is a red flag but I love the potential supervisor. While UM is so extraordinaire but i heard lots of students take more than 5 years to complete their PhD. So k can give their opinions. Really appreciate

MY Area of Research: Biological Science/ Cell Biology

UM now requires at least two ISI publications (especially in the science area) as an additional requirement for graduation. This is a setback for many although they have completed their thesis unless u're doing the PhD by publications.

UKM, i dont think they require any publications as a requirement yet.

But still UM is the better one.

Not true. UKM also requires 2 publications as discussed with my potential sv last week

Thesis.... Write in Malay.
Think for your self, if a work of your life. The accessibility only for applicable for Malaysia Uni.
If you want your work to be famous. Please use English k?

Not really. Publications in UKM are all in International Journal with high impact factor.
