On 16th January 2005, the Centre for Graduate Studies held a reception and orientation ceremony for its students at OUM Kuala Lumpur Learning Centre (KLLC), Angkasa Raya.

Prof Dr Mansor bin Fadzil, Vice-President (Technology) congratulated the students and briefed them on what to expect as a graduate student with OUM.

Puan Wan Noorul Qamar
Masters of Business Administration (MBA) I received my first degree in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York and am now a General Manager of PS Pipeline for Shell. Recently seconded to oversee the management side, I have decided to take up the MBA and have chosen OUM as it offers the best in learning flexibility compared to other conventional universities. Basically, I have been looking for the right university and the right time to pursue my master’s degree and OUM is the right one, a university that offers flexibility for working mothers like myself.

Cik Ambiga d/o Sreedharan
Masters of Management (MM) I am a graduate of Economics from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and am now working as a Human Resource officer. I have been advised by my family to further my education and after getting great recommendations by my friends, I finally decided to study at OUM. What appeals to me most about OUM is the teaching and online mode of delivery. Having a tight working schedule, e-learning is the only possible and reasonable way for me.

Encik Masran bin A Ghani
Masters of Management (MM) I found out about OUM through one of the local dailies. I came across an article that featured the Masters programme in OUM. I was impressed with it and decided to attend one of the talks given by Prof Dr Md Zabid during the programme preview in Sarawak. I am a father of 5 with the eldest being 20 and youngest 9. To balance off being a father and my hectic working schedule as a Human Resource Development Manager for MLNG, Bintulu, Sarawak time management is essential. Because of this, I’ve decided to enrol in OUM as I feel that OUM offers the most flexible learning methodology to cater to the busy working adults. So far, for the first semester, I have booked roundtrip flights to attend lectures here in KLLC.

Encik Syahmi Bhari
Master of Information Technology (MIT) I am a graduate of Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business from Universiti Utara Kedah (UUM). Now, I am currently a systems analyst (team leader) with Affin Bank and have been working there for six years. I am married and a father of one. What I find appealing about OUM is that it offers a very interesting and convenient payment mode compared to other conventional universities. Also the fact that OUM gives opportunity for a non IT graduate like myself to study IT. This would be very useful in my current line of work.
