all my non-bumi friends who applied got in. they had no problem securing government scholarship to the UK, europe and japan. one of them already became senior lecturer despite joining the university later than i did. i'm still a lecturer trying to climb up the ladder, and he's already up there.

know ur facts first. IPTAs dont work like u think it does.

then blame it on that dean.

there's no quota for academicians. we need all the people that we can get. feel free to sue that dean for prejudice or racism.

IPTS sure. but not in IPTAs.

Can anyone elaborate more on being a research assistant for a lecturer?

Does that mean that both the assistant and lecture will get masters?

With a cgpa of 3.00, am I eligible to apply for research assistant?

Thank you in advance for your advise!

sure, u can try. but remember, PhD thesis is public domain. everyone has equal right to read ur thesis and dispute it. those who "bought" their PhDs NEVER would reveal their thesis. just go and check those artists with doctorates. even a slight mention about their thesis they will go out of their way to change the topic!

PhD is serious matter. PhD is about creating/acquiring new knowledge that does not exist before. for example, ur PhD found out that pi is not 3.1742, so it is significant in the body of knowledge that it's a game changer. but u cant get a PhD by simulating an existing knowledge, for example, proving that 3.1742 can be used to calculate a circumference.

so if ur lecturer did "buy" his PhD, ask him to share, publish or present his paper in a conference.

go for it!
no such thing.

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.

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..

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.

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

What's up guys. I'm an SPM leaver who wants to pursue a career which I think is promising, well, in this case, being an English lecturer.

2. I don't think that a degree holder could become a lecturer in colleges. ( Or do they?  ) So, do we have to complete our Masters or PHD before even thinking of becoming a lecturer?
