Higher starting pay, around RM300 more in some companies.
Boss will have higher expectation of you though, but if you're good you'll become the "go-to" guy really quick.

QUOTE(youngkies @ Mar 1 2008, 12:02 AM) yes if only if you can satisfy them during the interview too. I think everyone missed out the part where I said "unless your IQ is freaking high". whereby I meant there are exceptions but you'd better be really good. in fact oxford and cambridge have that option too. My original statement was on various middle-tier unis offering these quick-PhD programs, which I find dubious. There was this 25 year old lady where I used to work who already had a PhD but most of us doubt her qualifications as she got it from a local uni and frankly our unis ain't that great especially when it comes to research. |

QUOTE(Vv.SoViEt.vV @ Mar 2 2008, 11:17 AM) Added on March 2, 2008, 11:19 am No, they are different. From my understanding, honors are awarded to student who went through external examiners from UK, England or equivalent. For instance, you enroll in private college/university where they have degree programme/course accredited from UK universities. Local university graduates can never have the title "Honors", thus its just ordinary degree, correct me if I m wrong. QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Mar 2 2008, 08:38 PM) What did you expect? |

QUOTE(Vv.SoViEt.vV @ Mar 2 2008, 09:59 PM) Obviously, you need to elaborate more to clarify your point. If you are studying in Malaysia and you want to get "honors" you still need to pass through external examiners whether they are based in US, UK or AUS. Well I'm talking about the local unis, be it public or private; not twinning programs and the like.Why do I refer to UK standards? well, it's because our english is following UK standards and most of our twinning programmes are from UK. As long as it meets high standards and is recognized by bodies such as MQA, IEM etc these institutions can offer honours programs. |

QUOTE(Vv.SoViEt.vV @ Mar 2 2008, 10:41 PM) MQA has no honors programmes in their agency. They only have the "equivalent" bachelor degrees, not honors. Go to BEM's website and look for accreditation credentials for local unis (public or private).IEM has two distinctive programmes under the institution. One being local engineering degree programmes, which mean ordinary local degree. Second being, accredited engineering degree programmes which accredited by oversea universities which carry the title honors. Obviously, students that apply to this programmes would still have to go through external examiners which i have explained earlier. Hence, by your definition of "high standards and recognized by bodies such as MQA, IEM" produces, Satisfy yet? See how many Hons degree offered. |
