Added on May 25, 2012, 12:01 amThe lecturers all have at least a Masters degree with some having PhD's. They have experience in teaching as well. In any university, there will always be great lecturers, average and no so good lecturers. Accounting is more focused on the accounting subjects while the Accounting & Finance degree will contain about 40% finance subjects like financing reporting standard, corporate finance, strategic financial management, capital financing & investment, Multinational Finance, etc.

Both will receive exemptions up to the Foundation level in ACCA. If you need more information you may message me. Cheers!

Added on May 25, 2012, 12:25 amUCSI is one of the first to offer the logistics programme therefore they have quite a lot of experience in running this course. The quality at UCSI is pretty good and the lecturers all have at least a Masters degree with some possessing PhDs. They also emphasise on industrial training so you will get a lot of hands on experience which will be useful in your future work. You may message me if you need more information. Cheers!

Added on May 25, 2012, 12:34 amAs a Praxis University, students at CenTHE are allotted industrial practice within UCSI hotels and other 5-star hotels, and will be paid a monthly allowance for their work at these training hotels, convention centres and visitor attractions while
undertaking their studies. Upon graduation, students will be assured of a job guarantee among 5-star hotels namely UCSI hotels, Pullman hotels, the Sarawak Cultural Village and the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching in Malaysia. This is feasible because UCSI students will be given 10 times more industrial work experience than students in a conventional
tourism and hospitality programme.

UCSI University’s Diploma in Culinary Arts equips students with advanced skills in culinary arts (food preparation and
presentation, kitchen setup and organisation, etc.), for food production and knowledge relevant to commercial and mass
catering. The students will also learn other essential skills such as nutrition, sanitation, hygiene and food safety, as well as back office administration (marketing, human resources and accounting skills)

If you require more information you may message me. Cheers

Added on May 25, 2012, 12:43 amUCSI is one of the pioneers in offering the music programme other than ICOM. But ICOM is more on contemporary music while UCSI has both Classical and Contemporary. They have been running this course since 25 years ago, so I guess the graduates have been getting jobs if not they would have closed the programme a long time ago. UCSI would be one of the best for their music programme in Malaysia.

The B.Mus. (Hons.) Classical Music programme is intended for those who wish to pursue classical music studies to an advanced level. The programme has the advantage of a very broad-based curriculum without compromising the possibility of increased specialisation in one or more areas. Performance and performance-related studies are especially prominent but other areas such as history, analysis and stylistic compositions are included. This blend of practical work and academic enquiry will produce graduates equipped with a range of skills and knowledge that will be of value to many employers, and at the same time enable them to pursue careers not only as performers and teachers, but also as administrators and managers within the wider music industry and beyond.

Graduates of this programme can find career opportunities in various areas:
Performing: soloist, accompanist, orchestral / chamber musician
Teaching: private, music institutions / centres
Composing / arranging: publishing, production, recording, advertising

The B.Mus. (Hons.) Contemporary Music degree caters to the needs of students who want a career in the popular music industry. By covering key areas of Arranging, Technology, Performance, Recording and Music Business (but not neglecting other related studies such as contemporary music theory, ear training and composition), this programme will enable graduates to pursue challenging and rewarding careers.

Graduates of this programme can find career opportunities in various areas:
Performing: recording sessionist, lounge musician
Teaching: private, music institutions / centres
Composing / arranging: publishing, production, recording, advertising
Music Technology: production, recording, broadcasting
Music Business: management, marketing, administration, retailing and sales

Other than the normal academic entry requirements, you will be required to go for an audition. The next intake is on August 28, 2012.

If you need further information, you may message me. Cheers!

Added on May 25, 2012, 12:51 amIn any university with 10,000 students, there are bound to be problem students. Just because there is one problem student does not make all 9,999 the same. I believe that the university takes these issues seriously and have addressed them accordingly. It is not only the international students that have caused problems in any institution, there are also Malaysians who cause problems.

The diploma in management is a good course and you can go into the degree Year 2 after completion. The fees that you pay for the diploma is cheaper than what you pay for at some private colleges or universities in shoplots with little or no facilities.

Of course, I must admit that your concerns are valid and important. You should visit the campus to take a look for yourself the environment, talk to some of the students there and ask their opinion. UCSI has emphasis on high standards of quality so you will need to maintain your studies well there. The environment is conducive and the lecturers all have at least a Masters degree with teaching experience. Some have PhDs as well.

If you need more information, you may message me. Cheers!

---

Added on May 25, 2012, 12:54 amIt depends on your exemptions. Generally, it is accepted into the Year 2 of the relevant degree programme. The next intake would be in August 28 but you will need to submit the transcripts of all the subjects taken at KTAR to UCSI for exemption purpose. You may contact me for more information. Cheers!

Added on May 25, 2012, 12:55 amYes, it can be accepted but it depends on your results. You may message me for more information. Cheers.

thanks for answering. I have another question though
whats the ethnicity makeup of the student body? Just kinda curious about it.

WoW. R u agent or what? So hard sell UCSI bor. I agreed with ur points lar.

Hi, any Food Science students here? May I know the honest opinion about this course whether is it good and whether is it easy to find job? Typed the key word but couldn't find any good information regarding this course in UCSI in this page.

What information you wan to get?

Food Science in UCSI lor. The lecturers, facilities and in general whether is Food Science good in UCSI or not. What about the job prospect of it?

Hi, I'm currently doing Food Science and Nutrition in UCSI, now in my second semester of year one.

The lecturers are good, caring and helpful. So far, I'm not encountering any issues yet with the lecturers. Regarding our job opportunities, one of my lecturers has mentioned about it to me before. Most probably we'll be working at some food company/factory. You can either choose to be a food scientist or nutritionist. Take note that we're not registered dietitians who can work in hospitals.

As for the facilities, I can't really say anything about it. Since I went to Taylor's College for pre-U programme, I think that it's quite unfair to compare both as we had to pay for the printing service in Taylor's, but in UCSI it's free to use the printers. All you need is just bring your own paper and prepare to wait in a long queue (most of the time because there's only two printers functioning at the moment, normally three).

One thing that I'm quite disappointed with the facilities is their computers in the library. Almost one-third of the computers are either broken down, or without a mouse/keyboard. I hope they will make some improvements with this.

Job prospect, of course is very bright. Take a closer look at the super market, you may get the job as long as there are food producer or manufacturer.

As a professional food scientist, you can venture into two main fields : food process quality control or research & development. It is very interesting and challenging.

UCSI University having Open Day this weekend, 9am-6pm. Why not you check it out?

I heard they spent million in the lab facilities......dahsyat lar.

Hi,may i know the reason why you said that "you will be accepted into the programmes except for Medicine and Pharmacy."??? Is there anything that a applicant must be careful of when applying for medic or pharmacy?Thanks

The requirements for medicine and pharmacy tend to be higher and you will also need to go for an interview before you are accepted into the medical school.
