Hi if i have an English Degree from a private university, am i eligible to do Masters and PhD in the Government Uni ie UM?

you need to be employed as tutor/lecturer by ipta so you're eligible to apply slai

Does the chances for getting slai or rlka for non-bumi high? How long the time i need to wait to be called for interview?
I have a planning to pursue my phd in overseas, to leave comfort zone and explore another region of the world.

i just want to know..

i really interested to become a lecturer..but im just confused a few things..

i. i have a bachelor degree but not reach cgpa 3.00..almost near..
ii. i have a master degree with cgpa 3.44..
iii. i have industry experience for 4 years...

is that good enough to become a lecturer??..and if i got accepted to work as a lecturer..i'll continue my PhD locally with my own cost (i x want to get bonded)..

guys..what do u think...really appreciate ur comment s and kindness..tqvm.

what field?

Bachelor degree in Foodservice management
Master in Human resource development

working experience in both industry respectively..3 years with food industry as foodservice exec and 1 year as training and development executive for HR..hurmmm..

my fair opinion. your pointers during bachelor deg is on the low side, but you should be able to compensate it with your industry experience, so it boils down to how impressive your CV is and your conduct during interview.

also, bear in mind that the premier IPTAs only accept PhD holders, but you can try other IPTAs and also IPTS. Good luck

btw if ur pointer in degree is less than 3 is it possible to be a lecturer?

only if u have substantial amount of experience in the industry, say, 8-10 years.

dafuq 8 -10yrs?? hahaha

Lessay i got 8 - 10 yrs exp is already like 30+ yrs old will earn like 5 - 6k. Then become fresh lecturer earn 3k? Cos lecturer is ikut the time u join ma

with 8-10 years u will not start at the bottom ler. if u have some serious experience under ur belt, especially if u're one of the industry leaders (in whatever manner), they can straight away give u associate professorship.

and that time the salary more than this group dy '30+ yrs old will earn like 5 - 6k'

assoc prof starts at RM6k. and usually they will still let u practice.

meaning u earn RM5k in practice plus RM7k in academia.

and a full professorship will get u RM11k easy.

not yet include the tons of allowances hehe

Hi azarimy, just get to know that you are architect and lecturer as well....
i am just curious that the IPTA you attach with allows you to get design job from private sector???
is that just you part time job after office hour???

i'm a full time lecturing architect

as academician in a particular field, the university expects me to always be up to date with the industry, hence none other way better than practicing itself. interestingly with UTM, we have our own consultancy group where experts in a particular field get together and take outside job under the UTM brand name.

so basically it's our own architectural firm, headed and manned by our own professors and lecturers. here it's called Institut Sultan Iskandar, which was established about 20 years ago. we've done a number of project from single buildings to entire township. the most famous job that we've done is the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020 .

and no, it's not part time. a lecturer has 7 responsibilities, and teaching is just one of it. others like research, publication, industrial practice, consultancy and so on are part of our job. up till today, i scarcely brought home work.

Of course you can as long as that private university is an accredited university in Malaysia.

oo Thanks. is it true that one cannot become a lecturer with a degree alone? masters n phD is a must?

depends on which institution.
