mmu open day will be held tmr!
at cyberjaya campus...

i send adi my application to MMU,but i havent receive any letter which inform me they had receive my application. when i'm checking online admission status, keep on error. I sent my application also to TAR College on the same day with MMU's. But,TAR College already replied and my application at there under consideration. May I know what is going on ?

U mean you send your application thru the normal form that you have bought? for your information, the offer letter has not yet been distributed. But you are suppose to get it latest by end of may. If you have not receive anything by end of may, means your offer has been rejected... hope it answer your question... and also, if you submit an incomplete form, they will notify you as well...

Oh ya,does MMU Law CLP recognised ?

ummm....i accidentally filled up the application form with pen though the rule says need 2b pencil...
so can i still submit the form?

Can I know the fees for a bachelor's degree in Electric & Electronic Engineering or Electronic Engineering majoring in Telecommunications in MMU for the 2009/2010 intake? I've searched the MMU website but I couldn't find anything about it.

Also, when is the deadline for the application for the June intake?

Thank you

sorry, you cannot use the form but to get a new one...

Added on March 21, 2009, 4:28 pmno its not... just reconised recenlty by mqa.. not still yet to get respond from CLP.

Added on March 21, 2009, 4:30 pmu need to register at most by end of may... if end of may, u need to come to mmu and do registeration manually and is not recomended. best to just get the form and then mmu will send u an offer letter... then u need to send some money... about 1.8K...

for E and E in mmu... I think is better if u go UNITEN instead. But the fee is around 35K

Hows is mechanical eng in MMU? in melaka?the lecturers and all? i am a diploma tele grad from there, but i left in 2008. never knewe much bout the university after that since the new president took over Dr.ghauth's seat. I heard the situation is getting bad is it true?

This post has been edited by Bigblock: Mar 21 2009, 04:44 PM

mechanical is still very strong... just that E and E, not so popular in MMU...

E&E is called robotics there right still? i cant find the course price for mech bro

robotics is good bro... its the best... but just not so popular cox is kinda hard.. price will not be uploaded.. it changes with time..

to see the price, it will be stated in mmu open day

I see... but what are the current prices? hows the new president?since your an src rep in melaka?

around 40K perhaps.... i can check if u want.
new president? haha... no comment... keke
u want to know u talk to him urself and see lo... muahaha

Coz i heard the situation is gettin bad there? but what else to do bro so thats why i am askin you since you opened this thread for any inquiry. So i dont thing its right you answer me in this manner, not to flame you here but its best if you answer the questions correctly not by saying "u want to know u talk to him urself and see lo... muahaha". This aint funny to me by any means.

sorry but i dont mean anything much... truly apologize... Let me put it this way, since im in src, i can barely see the president in melaka.. mostly he will be in cyebr except wednesday where he will be in the office... but the thing is, much thing has happen before... They had change the president. The first president then went to utar... on the way, some lecturers left mmu for utar as well.. and now he is in UM. Then comes in this president... I really cannot comment on this part cox personally I carnt see him often. So, I could not comment. The sentense i put, might upset u or what... and again a apologise.. The meaning behind it... was that even most of us carnt get to see him, and u think everyone can see him? thats the idea... and i dun think u catch it... so, im here to make it clear...

and again... sorry.

i wanna noe the fees for Bachelor of Banking and Finance,Bachelor of Accounting. . .

around 45K...

which courses is popular in MMU? can u recommended me courses under engineering, IT related.do u have IMs (msn/ym/gtalk etc) so that i can further ask u there? Please PM me

No problem at all bro, well your doing a good job here keep it up. I am hoping to join MMU for mech next sem. I hope the application goes on well, since i did dip in tele in MMU i guess my credit transfer should be less.
Anyways is the SRC managing the OC guys bro?

I am looking for engineering course Majoring in TE
i have just visited the website its 45k
thansk for the info...hehe

USM= University Sains Malaysia?
got TE course ther?

Bro i din tell u to take USM your mistaken there hehe! well bro can pass me the link? i cant seem to find the prices also, dont mind?

you can find the approximate tuition fee here:

http://www.mmu.edu.my/admission_mmu/faq.php

thankx jian5481... the fee is at the mmu website..

Please take note, MMU doesn't have E&E course. MMU separates them into two different courses, respectively Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Meanwhile, one has choice to opt for Pure Electronics Engineering or other Electronics majors such as Telecommunication, Computer and Robotics & Automation.

Added on March 22, 2009, 5:13 amAllow me to correct you. After Prof. Datuk Ghauth Jasmon left MMU, he was offered to be the CEO of Unity College International and not UTAR. For the UTAR case was Prof. Chuah the ex-Dean of FOE, Cyberjaya.
After about a year serving for UCI, Prof. Datuk Ghauth Jasmon was then offered to be the Vice Chancellor of UM.

Around 36k for Banking and Finance and around 48k for Accounting.

yup... true...

Gavin, maybe you can edit the first post with the links to all faculties plus the FAQ page for the tuition fee. Would be easier for people to get information rather than asking the same question over and over again.

This post has been edited by jian5481: Mar 22 2009, 09:43 AM

do u even see any MMU advertisement in The Star newspaper? i see none, this is how serious the admin of MMu has become~

---

Added on March 22, 2009, 10:56 pmLaw faculty started for an estimated 3 years, it's best that you call MMu to ask~ by the way, also bear in mind that MMu has not been providing information regarding policy change that may be a valid reason for accreditation termination~

---

Added on March 22, 2009, 10:58 pmshould be around 44k

---

Added on March 22, 2009, 11:03 pm2nd year students amounting to 50% had failed their Fluid Mechanics and the appeal to have a class to avoid prolonging graduation has been replied with 3 words -> "not enough manpower" pls look at the earlier link regarding the abolishment of W model issue for the answer to your question regarding the new administration after Prof Ghauth went to UM, 1 dean and 2 lecturers went over to UTAR

---

Added on March 22, 2009, 11:06 pmthere has been rumours on TM giving out MMU tender but no one accepted~ if this were to be true, is it a case of TM selling MMu? could it be linked to the lack of advertisements and sudden increase of failure rates if all these are true? just food for thought

---

Added on March 22, 2009, 11:10 pmi believe that enquiring is good only if u get answers~ here, take a look, u be the judge~ President's "Foreword" page, "Coming Soon" even when the President is here for almost a year

---

Added on March 22, 2009, 11:12 pmit's true that Ghauth is no more in MMu and that lecturers and even a Dean of FOE has went to UTAR, are the new policies which are implemented even in the exam unit and the bell curve from the new president?

This post has been edited by sexualpower: Mar 22 2009, 11:33 PM

I recommend software engineering and ISE under FIST faculty~ basically based on the fair pricing for having the priviledge of having lecturers who actually do research and development in the university itself~ lecturers who do that are actually very much towards the academic side~ as for engineering courses, I'm not so sure but I'd strongly recommend that u stay away from mechanical as the failure rate is very high, u can check the failure rates by downloading the list of students who failed in the bulletin board -> bulletin.mmu.edu.my

i happen to have a downloaded file, sem1 of 2008/2009 (change the extention from .doc to .xls as .xls is not allowed in LYN), i counted 83 students failing fluid mechanics, total students were 160, that's 50%

Failure retes are very high in MMU i see..."not enough man power" is really a bad excuse to them paying students.I heard ISO is being used as a standsrd for marking and thats the reason y students fail?
The new president aint doin all good i see...And which faculty are you from sexualpower?

This post has been edited by Bigblock: Mar 23 2009, 12:02 AM

well, from my opinion, i don't see why MMu don't wanna earn more if they can~ i think u can check from bulletin board that one of the SRC had put on a thread on starting a class, poor fella~ my advice is that u check the bulletin board for the last semester and then talk directly to him and ask, he's still in SRC after all

---

Added on March 23, 2009, 12:08 amstandard depends on many factors, supply and demand being one, the government & money being another and nearer to student, it's the professional bodies and in-campus politics~ let me tell u, CPA reported last month that they were not aware of the policy change of MMu, they didn't know about the W model~ so account students, take note~ when a new president comes in with new policies, can u say no to it, i wonder~ will a Dean say no? everyone is working for a payslip at the end of the month and dare u say no to the boss?

as for the W model, it has been implemented and will not be changed from what I've read in the SRC blog

i'm in social university aka working, fortunately~ my sis is in MMu~

This post has been edited by sexualpower: Mar 23 2009, 12:08 AM

W model as in bell curve graph marking, yes i read it has been abolished,the new grading policy is based on the marks and grades, which means, what you see is what you get. (frm src webby)

This post has been edited by Bigblock: Mar 23 2009, 12:50 AM

thanks for the recommendation. just want to confirm, SE is not under any of the ENGINEERING in the MMU?
and any chances to go to abroad in MMU? there is no twinning program ?

SE is only on software~ there is a course called Electronics majoring in Computers, this is the one on hardware~ I'm aware of partnership with China's university but I've never heard of any twinning programs in MMU~ so far, no twinning program for MMU students~ closest I've heard is the student exchange program to Japan for 1 semester~

I don't think it is a fair comment to say that just because a university has a high failure rate, therefore it is bad. For certain truly difficult subjects, it should not be unexpected to have failures.

I would be worried if nobody fails in a particular university. That would mean that the standards in that university is extremely poor, and any tom d*** and harry will graduate. In the long run, someone who has a degree from there would find it worthless as potential employees would shun it like the plague (ask around the industry and most hiring managers have a list of local unis to avoid for particular fields).

I think prior to abolishing the Bell Curve marking system, the quality in MMU has been in decline (have been hearing this often from my friends in industry) due to looser enrollment standards (bound to happen as we have far too many unis, and there are only so many top quality students, universities have to cari makan and will have to let in a quota every year) and poor quality control.

I think seeing more failures in MMU is a positive development. It is not like you have only 1 chance to pass the subject. If you couldn't make it through the first time, retake the subject and work harder the next time around.

Lecturer quality can of course still be improved, and i think it is being done with the new policy that is targeting full PhD. academic staff in the near future. The new administration is also taking complaints against lecturers seriously. I know of some who have been hauled up to the disciplinary board because of their poor class performance.

This post has been edited by elhh82: Mar 23 2009, 08:03 AM

Are you an ex MMU student? Thanks for the input anyway yes its true MMU might be growing in a positive way but making the rules strict does not mean it is good for the student s who are paying almost 1K per subject you see.
Because i belive we dont use out academics 100% in our job. It may vary by job scope also but mainly the basics is very important. Getting too strict without high end accreditation/lecturer upgrade is not positive growth anyway.
But yeah i am yet to see all this as results are not everything. Your communication and ability to perform your basics with ease is the best.

mmu always lousy in providing services.. they reply your email in 3 working days? 5 working days? no.. !! even when u check with their staffs regarding your application.. you will get the blame for sending you application form "late" (around the closing date, whereas the application still open).. i think src should concern more in this matter because this is the place where new student get their first impression about mmu..

This post has been edited by PikachuPikachu: Mar 23 2009, 04:29 PM

the word "engineering" means "the process of making"~ most of the time, in profession, the word refers to physical and tangible objects and therefore, we get electrical and electronics engineerings (circuit board), mechanical engineering (engine), robotics engineering (automation) but when it comes to software engineering, u'll be making softwares through building computer codes and then compiling them to become programs~

---

Added on March 23, 2009, 8:07 pmu're right, it's not fair to say that high failure rates makes a university bad~ in my opinion, asking "why would high failure rate happen in the first place?" would be a better question~ thanks for your post and lets have a look. here are some possible opinions to why there are high failure rates :
- One of Utar's professor who is an associate dean mentioned that there are measures that ensure that failure rates as high as 50% would not happen (logic : there may be a thorough discussion prior to a policy and not just implementing)

- who will be responsible when students fail? (logic : 1) the intake policy, 2) lecturers' final questions relating to what he/she has taught 3) the quality of the education from the aforementioned lecturer, 4) policies which does not have space for any adjustments in case of human error like the abolished W model, 5) the students' studies) even if it is the students who are at fault here, it wouldn't be as logic as the aforementioned logic 1 - 4, i wonder "which student doesn't want to pass?" by the way, do u know that if u get just a credit in science and maths, you can be admitted to MMu in the year I enrolled?

- quality of MMu declining before the abolishment of W model? any proof on this one? (logic : I've seen with my own eyes the past year question papers available from the library and I advice u to have a look as well)

- pls be aware that there has been pre-requisites in all courses in MMu at this moment~ any failure of most of the subjects, i estimate 90% of the subjects, would mean that a student has to extend at least 1 year in order to graduate if he/she doesn't want to squeeze that particular subject into the already packed university schedule (logic : an estimated 95% of the subjects offered will only be offered in 1 specified semester and none other, if a person fails a subject, he/she has to wait 1 academic year in order to retake it) will the future students of MMu have to grad with 4 - 6years as opposed to other university students? we're here to learn, not only here to be forced to waste time and be graded~

full PhD academic staff... I'll vote u as student representative, my friend~ but not as a president~ no pain no gain~ full PhD academic staff would burn a hole in every student's wallet, as well as having low efficiency for those PhD staffs because they are the only ones who can provide Masters~ if they are going to provide Masters, these students have to choose between part-time or full-time~ If part-time Masters pursuers are not allowed to be lecturers, the cost of maintaining the academic staff would be tremendous and then the square one question arises, why not let Masters qualified PhD pursuers be part-time lecturers to save cost? I guess that shed some light~

thanks for your questions, I think u helped a lot in clearing doubts~

Is there any way I can check my application status once I've sent my application and the supporting documents? And is it true that I have to send the documents in one week after I've applied online?

you're one of the src, aren't you suppose to encourage students to enter MMU instead of promoting other universities?

This post has been edited by irix: Mar 23 2009, 08:49 PM

i guess everyone here is "encouraging students to pick the most suitable place" instead of "encouraging students to enter MMu"~ i think that regret is one of life's biggest enemy~ it is the "I should have found out more before I make that decision"~ I hope this thread will help by giving information without censorship and without bias~ I was thinking about when someone would actually ask about the benefits of studying in MMu that can't be found anywhere else in other institutions~ I don't think there is anything special in MMu~ it seems like a regular higher learning institution that is having some unresolved issues that are affecting students since June 2009~

MMu may have jurisdiction over at SRC like the previous anti-corruption agency before the MACC was formed~

gavin may be tight-lipped but whether it is tight or loose, I will try to encourage students to have minimal regret~ there are many other issues that are in play concerning this~ how about the 3 years courses that the government is encouraging? look at Utar's accounting course, it's 3 years~ now take a look at MMu and u see the old system of 4 years~

yes, i agree with that.. but i think it's better if he could provide some reasons, facts, pros n cons between mmu and other universities, so that others can compare and decide which is better for them..

Erm can anyone answer me that?

LoL! I also wana know & also waiting for the reply. But I heard got people get reply from MMU already.

i get offer letter adi

of course u need to send your doc in time... or else your application progress will be halted..

u send early.. u get offer early... you send late.. you will get offer VERY late.. then the staff will blame u.. (kenapa hantar lambat!!??!!)

If i have a diploma in Telecommunication and i am interested in taking teh engineering in Telecommunication in MMU.
My question is, how many years can i skip in MMU?

It depends how many equivalent subjects you can credit transfer. Maybe you can cut down 1 year.

1 year and a few subjects in my opinion~ u have to ask and fill in form for credit transfer if not mistaken~

I applied online for a place in MMU, and am in the process of sending the documents over. My problem is, after applying online I wasn't given any application reference number. I am supposed to send 2 passport-sized photographs with my name and application reference number written behind them, but I have no idea what my reference number is. I can't check my application anywhere on the net for my reference number either. How can I get my reference number?

And it has been 5 days since I applied online. Is it too late for me to send my documents over now?

Urgent replies needed. Thank you.

There is a reference number I remember. It is after you fill in all your particular page.

You can check your status & reference number here

MMU Application Status

This post has been edited by Kanasaikia: Mar 27 2009, 12:39 AM

starting 1st trimester of 2009/2010 session.. if you fail any subjects, you have to take the supplementary exam during the next trimester final exam period..

Thank you, I've always wanted to know if there's a page to check my application status.

I've checked my application status using my IC number on the site you stated, but all I get is this: "Either your application Reference Number/IC number is not valid or your application is not being processed yet"

Should I apply online again?

Yes! You should apply it again.

greetings,

its me again... sorry for not replying most of your replies...
well, its because I am having one week holiday (mid term) holiday and since I had a week off, i wish i can really enjoy myself... haha...

i will reply one by one of the messeges and it will really take time...
so, sorry...

Failure retes are very high in MMU i see..."not enough man power" is really a bad excuse to them paying students.I heard ISO is being used as a standsrd for marking and thats the reason y students fail? The new president aint doin all good i see...And which faculty are you from sexualpower?

Reply:
- Does it mean having low failure rate is good? Says who ISO is not for marketing? MMU is a private sector and I am not surprised that they do so… Most of the time, students are the one who fail themselves… (last minute study) and etc. When they fail, they just blame on the policy where bell curve was being abolished… Why don’t just find out the real mistakes? Attitude? I even see people with the ID 102XXXXXXX… means they came into mmu in 2002… and still now in MMU… during that time, bell curve still exist… yet, the failure rate is still high.

here are some comments i was able to reply... hope i can reply more but i carnt do so due to time constrain. if there is an emergency, contact me at my mobile.

Added on March 28, 2009, 12:27 amwell, getting a C means u are still having credit and u can still take foundation.
foundation course will take about 12K for everything.
If u were to compair with UTAR, their foundation would be different as they only have arts or science..

can i gt bachelor of accounting offer in mmu with my bad results?

What do you think?

hi..
i heard src melaka was organizing an event.. MMU olympic 2009
is there a chance i can have the photos during the award ceremony?


if yes, pls pm me the download link..
tq

if R&D it is, would MMu be a centre focused on lecturers and tutors instead of students? is yes, then IMHO, the focus of MMu as compared to other universities are wayyy different, most universities try to cater to students' needs and view them as the heart and soul of a learning institution, without students, there will be no need for any lecturers

the board of directors remain less visible to me~ were politics involved since the MMu president knows many people from his involvement in Uniten (I heard that the reason for him leaving was because of a change in policy, seems similar here) and another public university (disclosed for anonymity purposes)

low failure rates is good in my opinion because it shows that the system is not as flawed as it is with failure rates going up to 50%, as indicated by Dr. Liang Meng Suan (i asked) from UTAR~ as indicated by Mr Yau Sing Hing @ Yeow Sing Hing, this matter can be brought up to the board of engineers (BEM) for questioning and re-evaluation of the accrediation~

in manufacturing industry, the ISO is internationally recognized and it's viewed as a liability coz it's a cost that brings only a standard~ Malaysia has ISO (similar but not ISO standard) of our own by the way

are students really the ones to blame when it comes to 50% failure rate which has never happened and only appeared coincidentally when the bell curve or W model has been stopped from usage? are there other problems which has been spawned from this policy change?

I would say that there is a large link... a repercussion effect when a policy is implemented~ in my opinion, it is the teaching, the level of examinations, the internal, external and 3rd party review of the exam questions before finalization, the administration in terms of the regulations of marks, and the factor of the vicious cycle, for example, some lecturers are now setting super easy questions in response to the change in policy, that sounds to me like lowering the past years of quality education and past good reputation with the industry which hires the graduates~ what will be their opinion on current and future graduates after this? I guess students can just pray and hope for the best~

i've heard of quotas on the maximum allowable failures implemented for different subjects~ but have u heard of failures up to 3,800 in 1 semester in 1 campus(cyberjaya) alone? this happened in sem1~ the 50% failure rate was in Malacca campus, the whole of MMu is involved~ I have not heard of any measures to compliment this change in policy nor have I heard of any reaction towards any complimentary change in policy to suit this W model policy~

in my opinion, abolishment W model is great, it's superb~ but who benefits from this? are there any benefit in the first place? should current issues relating to the examination question reviewing system, the performance index (KPI) of lecturers being more transparent, and in correlation with the students' academic evaluation system be reviewed in light of the important change of the W model? in my opinion, there are many issues that need to be addressed with the implementation of this new policy but it has been almost a year now and so far, there doesn't seem to be any news, according to the SRC blog~

Believe me that MMU will change as time comes... More plans will yet to come and is all for the betterment of the students. R&D in a sense both parties (students and lecturers).

Altough people say that the new president is bad and etc, I carnt comment much as I dont wish to. This is because he just became the President (now one year plus) and there are much plans which will be executed.

The coming one will be the change of semesters (accademic) and the long run will be open book exams and etc. Without R&D, the people expecially the staff could not change the system (without proper knowledge). And as for the students, lecturers will encourage students to do self research with the lecturer's guidance so that the students can get the knowledge and be able to coupe with the outside world after graduation..

wanna ask, if i study in melaka campus, can i survive without a car? and also, is seniority practiced there?

if i hav no C in any science subject,although i got more tahn 5 C in SPM,can i take foundation of IT?

So if i'm not mistaken it means u need to get at least 5c for english+maths+1 science subject+2 other subjects(bm, sej, etc.). correct me if i'm wrong.

Hey, I ve when to the open day, Im going into Beta level with my Diploma at TARC,

mr. gavinfernando, hope u can help me in this,

My diploma havent end at TARC, itll be finish at this May, and Result will cum out at about June, But MMU intake is June right? I do not have my CGPA to apply for it yet, I should just use my transcript? the transcript Ill print it from online, which is then not certified , with the results, but take note my Last sem result havent out and no CGPA stated there yet.

I already bought the application form, it just my diploma result problem right now, Will i have to take the Foundation until my result is out? Or i can jump straight to the Beta lvl?

my course - Multimedia design
MMU course im taking - Bach in Films and Animation

thkss

Yes, can survive....unless u don't like to walk. What do you mean by seniority?

like juniors have to respect the seniors.. and the seniors are free to do whatever they want on you aka ragging. it's commonly practiced in public unis.

I've been in Melaka for 3 years plus and I don't own a car. I'm still well alive

To: sarcast, please contact me personally. (sms)

to: lycan01, i just believe that respect can only be earned... and does not need junior to respect seniors if the juniors dont want to respect them with some reasons. If a.k.a ragging and etc is being practice, we will say goodbye to MMU, which i dont think the students will even consider to do so. Minor things such as no smoking (don't count those who curi2 smoke in the toilet) and etc, most students still play by the rule and students discipline (especially physical abuse and etc) is an serious offense for a "civilized" person.

No, no such thing in MMU lol. But we do refer to older batch students as senior. That's all.

Hello Mr. Gavin, I hope you can answer my questions here.

I recently got my STPM results which is not very good. I got 3 principal and a partial pass for my physics, which is a C-. C and above only full pass.
Can I still take up mech. engineering with my results?
Or do I have to repeat foundation?
