As long as one earns at least a Master degree, There shouldnt be a problem to become a lecturer....Of course, it depends on that particular education institution.

the title "lecturer" isnt exclusive to universities only. there could be lecturers in schools if all they do is "lecture" in the literal sense.

it's like being a businessperson. if u sell goreng pisang at the roadside or deal with landed properties worth millions of ringgits, u're still a businessperson .

My wife's a lecturer in the Multimedia field.. she furthered her studies for her masters degree right after finishing her degree in MMU.. after getting her Masters, she could apply to work in any Uni quite easily, I suppose (no requirement or training in special colleges, Annihilux.. I think that is usually for those aspiring to be teachers) because most universities require a Masters Degree to become a lecturer nowadays. But as azarimy mentioned, you have to first choose which area you want to specialize in. The more higher your degree, the more you sub specialize, actually.

most of the local colleges get lectures with low standard.

just curious, do JPA bonded us to become a lecturer?

most probably bond lah of course..
jpa aint for free yo
unless its for courses where output greater than needed.. e.g engineering

but look at it from another perspective and you'll see that youre guaranteed a job.

my matric lecturer can support his family with 12 children.. lol

ya rite dun choose some swasta UNIVERSITY dun want to say the name
but the salary so slow

Azarimy,

I am taking master of Decision Science at UUM. If i want to be a lecturer, is it possible that i can be lecturing in UM, UKM or UPM which located at KL?

what is decision science? i know in malay we call it as sains pemutusan rite?

so basically what we study in this course?Job proecpects?

anyway, if u have the capabilities and a nice CV, no doubt IPTA will employ u to be the lecturers there, what better is get the scholarships there and study till phd, and u will get bond by them as a profesor in IPTA that u want.=)

Yep.. Decision sc is called sc pemutusan in malay.
It covered subjects like Decision support system, Operation research, Simulation etc. basically it is a course to teach u how to make decision in scientific method.

Actually, i can be working in any field. Previously i was a QA Engineer in a automotive company for two years.

Right now using my own saving to further master at UUM. I am plan to be a lecturer after graduate. but i worried other uni would not accept me bz i was in dec sc, which other uni did not offer this course.

i think only UUM offer this course or perhaps UMK , UDM maybe oofer it too...check it out.


make decision in science? how is it ? mind to elaborate more? is it more to reseach like helping the researchers to make a firm decision??

well, r u malay? sometimes IPTA do follow certain quota when recruiting lecturers.

Preferebly work in KL.

Can help to make decision in any field.. Also can help resercher to do analysis on his data..

Nope.. i am a chinese..

Seriously, i need pieces of advices or any constructive opinions on the life of being a lecturer in polytechnic colleges in malaysia?

SO what does they do besides teaching? Do they have to involve in vocational trainings as well?

And what is the salary of being a lecturers there?

Would the time of lecturing is quite flexible just like teaching at private college or would it be like teaching secondary school?

Pls guide me. i am so interested of either embarking myself in becoming a lecturer in either polytechnic or IPTA.

Yup....its enuff...even part time lecturers oso earn gud...

Part time lecturers oso enuff money to support family, full time? even more

part time lecturers work based on available spots. meaning they're usually there bcoz nobody's in the permanent line up could/would teach that particular subject. so they're at the mercy of luck. also, it would also mean that they wont have any income during the holidays. no teach, no money.

Does a Polytechnic or IPTA lecturer considered as part time lecturer?

Mr Azarimy,could you please tell me more on the life of becoming a lecturer in polytehnic as compared to IPTA??what is the requirements of lecturer in polytechnic and how do they teach on? like is it more on pratical sides?

thanks !:)

Its juz act as side incomes only....
