By next year it would be BOTH. A UOWMKDU and UOW Australia. That means you will get a Malaysian Honours Degree and an Australian non-honours (Australia honours requires another year). This will only be for the Computer Science, Software Engineering and Business Programmes.

Hi, may I ask would this apply for their MBA offered in UC or BK as well? As there is no mention on the website whatsoever. If the UOW AUD parchment is awarded as well, then this would be the best value MBA in Malaysia IMHO. But I doubt that is the case haha. No harm asking tho.

Yeah - Our MBA is 100% UOW Malaysia KDU. The final Parchment will be signed by UOW Australia though.

Anyway - we are actually not just a Foreign Branch Campus. We are OWNED by University of Wollongong, Australia. Just in case you are wondering.

Appreciate your response. Assuming it is fully owned by UOW itself, I find the approach mind boggling from the perspective of a prospective student as I am drawing parallels to the other major Australian university here in Malaysia, where the parchment is the same as what you would get in Australia.

Lexus is fully owned by Toyota, their need of differentiation was to establish Lexus as the more premium brand.

I wonder what is the need to differentiate UOW Malaysia KDU and UOW Australia. The impression it gives me, and prospective employers IMHO is UOW Australia is the premium brand thus leading one (me) to draw the conclusion that UOW Malaysia KDU is somewhat inferior in comparison.

And more importantly, the other Australian university's degree would be accredited by both MQA and its equivalent, TEQSA in Australia, since it is the same parchment and course. Whereas in the case of UOW Malaysia KDU, that would not be the case as TEQSA only authorised UOW to self accredit its courses and not UOW Malaysia KDU.

And as a disclaimer as not to mislead anyone reading my post, the above is merely my personal observation and conclusions as an individual who is assessing the various offerings available locally.
