Bio-Informatics is almost 3 years and its really not that simple. It really has a lot of IT programming. And does not touch much on science but more towards IT. Will need to study the basic stuff such as C++, Database programing and stuff...

Accomodation can get quite easy in MMU melaka. Cheap rooms ranging from 100-150 for sharing room. Please check FIST link at the front page...

by the way, r u staff in MMU?

1) I am just a student of MMU.

2) The marks are allocated differently for each subject. For degree, coursework can be up to 30% and 20% is midterm. 50% would be for final exam. This is in general format, but others like curricular, would be 70% coursework and 30% final (depends on subject).

3) Yes, u need to take foundation in biological science...

4) Personal view, its not much related. Because my girlfriend is studying this course. Roughly I know wads it like. It was shocking for her as she finish SPM with pure science. So, she thought this subject was related to bio... But instead, it was not. More towards IT... (IT 70%, 30% is science) but since part is kinda little... just quite easy. Just need to do a lot of coding.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you said that you are about to come to MMU right? have u applied PTPTN?

If that is the case, CLICK HERE and download the form. U need to wait it load. You can increase the loan money. Just need to wait for the process as might take up about 2 months period of time. If you need to pay the fees by then, you may go to Credit Management Unit (CMU) and bring along your notification to PTPTN and tell them that you are unable to pay the full amount of fees. Then you will maybe need to pay 50% of your tuition fees.

I was in diploma in MMU bro after tht i went to work elsewhere, now i am coming back to study so PTPTN application happens during orientation time

Click on the link HERE after you go to the web, click on the link "Klik di sini bagi mengetahui jumlah pembiayaan pinjaman pendidikan bagi seorang pelajar". The you can see for yourself...

Wondering why i still haven't receive any reply from mmu since i had summit my application form for about 2 weeks.. Besides, is it apply through OMR can't check online? Because when i check online it stated " Either your application Reference Number/IC number not valid or your application is not being process yet"

But for PTPTN, you need to pay them back after 6 months wad. have u start to pay them back? So means you want to apply for "penangguhan pembayaran balik"? I think, you will need to apply as normal first. And wait until your dad retire. Then get the surat pencen and print the PDF form with the link I gave u earlier. Or else, ask PTPTN for conformation.

hi,i m new here...
what i want ask is --do u recommend people to study accounting in mmu?

if your degree got ptptn loan, then a bit "mah fan- (leceh)" Cox need to do some paper work between MMU and the previos Uni. Ask your previos uni for their subject outline and certified so that can do credit transfer if the subject outline is 70% almost the same as MMU, you can just credit transfer them.

Added on April 19, 2009, 11:26 pmAccounting usually people take MMU or UTAR. This two I meant is for private university. MMU is 4 years but UTAR is 3 years. If you ask me, personally.... why not? MMU for accountancy seems to be strong and employment rate is still high.

Naah i know how MMU works they are very strict with credit transfer my previous degree was in E&E i am changing to mech now which means i can only transfer my LAN subjects from my diploma...
