Just realized most of Sunway Uni's courses all 3 years program.
If can say onpar with Xiamen.

Xiamen all courses mostly 4 years programs, but didn't state about resource fees tho....

Bachelor in Software Engineering	Price per Year/RM	Price for whole course
Xiamen (4 years)	24,000	96,000
Sunway (3 years)	~25,000	75,000 (with resource fee)

Xiamen - RM 98k for Engineering 4 years = RM ~24k / year
INTI - RM 78k for Engineering 4 years = RM ~20k / year
KDU - RM 76k for Engineering 4 years = RM ~19k / year
UCSI - RM 76k for Engineering 4 years = RM ~19k / year

UM - RM 90k for Engineering 4 years = RM ~22.4k / year - (Direct Admission Program for all Certificates)

Taylors - RM ~156k for Engineering 4 years = RM ~39k/ year
Herriot-Watt - RM ~129k for Engineering 3 years = RM ~43k/ year
Nottingham - RM ~140k for Engineering 3 years = RM ~47k/ year
Southampton - RM ~140k for Engineering 3 years = RM ~47k/ year

Just to correct some misconceptions from other posts in this thread:
1. Lecturing staff in XMU is 80% Malaysian, 20% from the parent campus. However, this doesn't mean the 20% is Chinese - quite a few ang mohs etc. It's part of their aspirations to be an international campus.
2. Facilities are top notch (in comparison to other private universities in Malaysia, local universities still win hands down).
3. First batch of students included a large group of sponsored students from their China campus to provide competition to the locals who are signing up. Many of these students are the cream of the crop in their program, making the environment in XMU fairly competitive.
4. Language of instruction in all courses is English.
5. They have an active research program - lecturers are given a choice of either a research or teaching track with sufficient funding to pursue their interests.

Anyone heard of this uni? I first time hear liao.....any comments?

????

wat the point of this tered

if ayam post uitm gate pic,also can??

Tongsan mia uni
Kampus cantek
Itu saje

heard it before, friends are studying there. A lots of rich Chinaman studying there. Lambos and Ferraris driven by students, NOT the lecturers. Also, my friends claim that the entire university looks abit like Anime school. They have gyms, Olympic sized (not sure) pool and lecturers straight from China. All lectures are taught in English even though some of the lecturers have abit broken english. To my knowledge, it's still under construction and there's a clock tower under construction that can be seen across campus.

I don't know how many universities there are in Ivy league.. I know there's Oxbridge in UK..

But I reckon that Xiamen can be said to be almost on the same par as the top two in China, Qinghua and Beijing universities. No idea when these two are expanding their influence overseas though.

lect mostly from where? malaysia or china?

go on...nobody holding u
how about the facilities? can match other uni?
lect mostly from where? malaysia or china?

I read somewhere that the menu in their cafe are in Chinese and the workers also came straight from PRC.

Ahjib jual tanah lagiiii...

Already operating. Phase 1 completed now phase 2.

If im not mistaken can accommodate 33k students when it is completed. A lot of projects nearby the university. As you can see Serenia by Sime Darby, Sunsuria the master builder for Xiamen. Now Matrix Concept also coming in.

Got a factory outlet carrying luxury brand coming also. Horizon Village outlet. Dubbed as one of the catalyst for Jsck Ma ecommercial hub logistic something or whatnot.

Tongsan has landed.

Ok.. just wondering if anyone is interested in doing research in audio software engineering? If you need candidates for research, I can volunteer.

xia men malaysia is in need of quite a few engineering lecturer, not sure if audio software is included.

they reached me before and asked if i wanna do postgrad there while working as RA

Those who got rejected from uitm/MARA

No.worry...this will be a new place to janji org kito here...it will definitely protect ur rights.and priviledges...

What kind of postgrad you're doing now? 

chem.Eng

I'm working on heterogeneous membrane

  Going to jiaotong, but not shanghai.

can speak & read Chinese or not 1st?

hows the fee compared to UTARC?

Taiwan ? 🤔

as a honeymoon campus

bungkus in 2 years. ada tulisan cina majority takkan hadir.

This Uni was like few years already

Only for Tongsan students? Or Malaysians can enrol also?

got what course offering? Fees?

meanwhile Univeristy of Malaya offering 90k for engineering course without academy requirement...

can speak & read Chinese or not 1st?

hows the fee compared to UTARC?

http://www.xmu.edu.my/a/58.html

the fees quite cheap though

but less program...only few program available for undergraduates

No. Xiamen is not there. Fudan, Jiaotong, Tongji, USTC and a few more are on paar with Peking and Tsinghua

Nt bad, more exp than utar but cheaper than other private unis here

This Uni was like few years already

lol. you sure? Private Unis costs average from 65k-80k for their whole Degree program, they are consider cheaper than Taylor's, and UK Unis like Nottingham, Southampton, Heriot-Watt atmost.

Is consider more expensive than Sunway, INTI and KDU. 

Xiamen Uni rank 10 to 15 in China, but still very good compare to local uni.

1 year 22k is exp? How much is 1 year in taylors? Sunway? Kdu?

Just to correct some misconceptions from other posts in this thread:
1. Lecturing staff in XMU is 80% Malaysian, 20% from the parent campus. However, this doesn't mean the 20% is Chinese - quite a few ang mohs etc. It's part of their aspirations to be an international campus.
2. Facilities are top notch (in comparison to other private universities in Malaysia, local universities still win hands down).
3. First batch of students included a large group of sponsored students from their China campus to provide competition to the locals who are signing up. Many of these students are the cream of the crop in their program, making the environment in XMU fairly competitive.
4. Language of instruction in all courses is English.
5. They have an active research program - lecturers are given a choice of either a research or teaching track with sufficient funding to pursue their interests.

They don't even need top students from China to compete

The entry requirement is just a pass or C. Unlike the parent campus where it is kinda competitive to get in

And also unlike Nottingham and Monash where they demand several B's including physics and maths into engineering

It is a prestige uni, but sampai malaysia became degree mill hhhmphh

Seriously considering this u for my kid...

in 15 years time...

You have a connection to the university?
I have some ex-colleagues that are teaching there now. Considered applying there myself, but was turned off by the distance.

Some points:
- if they are the cream of the crop, why would they study here? and be taught by 80% Malaysians?
- what is their medium of instruction back in China? Is it English? Probably not, but even if it is, Malaysian English is not quite the same. So, can they attract the cream of the crop to learn from lecturers who sound and think differently. Of course, students are willing to learn, but are Malaysian lecturers that attractive?
Western universities won't take them on transfer if their English isn't good enough. Malaysia provides an intermediate ground where we can provide sufficient exposure without being to fussy about the language aspect.

- have you heard a mainland China lecturer speak in English? You may wonder if they are actually speaking English.
Haha, yeah. Not all though. Those XMU professors I met are well-versed in English, probably because they bring over those who have prior experience working in English-speaking countries.

- all universities try to have an active research program, that's what all the rankings are about. Whether they achieve it or not is a different question.
- it's a competitive market in Malaysia, rich students go overseas, the remainder wants the best value for money. Are there enough private fee-paying students?
These are the important questions IMHO. XMU is currently still in its infancy, which means it relies on support from its parent entity and local government benefits. Whether or not they manage to rope in enough customers to maintain their quality in the long run is debatable.

PS: looks like my questions have been answered before I clicked the Submit button.

yup, its definitely cheaper than taylors/sunway, but on par or slightly more expensive than other local private unis

din noe KDU n UCSI increased by so much compared to last time, during my time (7-8 years ago) iirc its around 60k-65k++

Depends, but Sunway didn't offer any Engineering Course besides "Software" wise, as all Engineering programs are more Monash based.
Also really hard to tell how this university performs if China Government this Uni right, surely it will be outstanding of course.

If not a wasted project eventually.

Anyone heard of this uni? I first time hear liao.....any comments?

Anyhow, the best way to judge XMU's performance is to wait for the first batch of graduating students to enter the job market. Until then, all their achievements are just on paper.

but we can judge their students graduating from Mainland too... they have strong links to the mainland camput, I heard a number of their lecturers imported from there

Only for Tongsan students? Or Malaysians can enrol also?

UUM also got gym, olympic size pool and go-kart tracks

Question is..is it halal??

can speak & read Chinese or not 1st?

hows the fee compared to UTARC?
