MMU Terbaik !

Salam Buat Semua,

1) Laporan agensi berita rasmi negara iaitu BERNAMA adalah dirujuk.

2) Kajian rasmi pihak Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi memperakui Multimedia University (MMU) sebagai institusi pengajian swasta terbaik di Malaysia sekaligus meninggalkan di belakangnya 'universiti-universiti impot' bertaraf antarabangsa seperti Curtin University of Technology (kampus Sarawak) dan Monash University (kampus Sunway).

3) Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIA) menduduki senarai teratas untuk kategori institusi pengajian tinggi awam. UIA diikuti rapat oleh Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) dan Universiti Malaya (UM) untuk 3 posisi terbaik.

4) Secara peribadi, saya amat gembira dengan hasil laporan kajian tersebut. Saya pernah menuntut ilmu di MMU dan kini saya adalah 'cikgu' di tempat yang sama juga.

5) 10 tahun lepas sewaktu saya mendaftar diri sebagai pelajar program asasi di MMU, namanya belum cukup gah lagi. Sebut MMU tidak ramai yang kenal, terpaksalah disebut sebagai UNITEL (Universiti Telekom). Itupun ramai yang memandang rendah kepada nama tersebut. Selepas 10 tahun, segalanya sudah berbeza dan MMU semakin dikenali dan diiktiraf. Saya bangga !

MMU Named Top Private Malaysian University

Putrajaya, 12 July 2010 - The Minister of Higher Education, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, yesterday announced eighteen top Malaysian universities. According to the rankings released to Bernama, topping the public universities was International Islamic University Malaysia. Leading the category for private institutions was Multimedia University. Professor Dr. Zaharin bin Yusoff, President of MMU, admitted his surprise at the news. "Like any university in Malaysia," he said, "we're just trying to dowhat is best for our students and our stakeholders."

"Our strategies so far have included formulating the best academic programmes we could think of, and creating an environment to produce the most marketable graduates in the country. I am pleased that the people whose opinions we care for agree that we're doing the right thing," Prof. Zaharin said.

The ranking system categorized institutions into one of six tiers."Tier-6" or Distinction, "Tier-5" (Excellent), "Tier-4" (Very Good),"Tier-3" (Good), "Tier-2" (Satisfactory), or "Tier-1" (Weak). MMU is inTier-5, along with 17 other institutions. 25 universities are in Tier-4, and four in Tier-3. However, Prof. Zaharin is quick to stress that MMU must not allow this achievement to "get to our heads", as other private universities in Malaysia are also extremely capable. He cautions, "If anything, this announcement will only spur others to try and knock us off the top."

"We must pay attention to the fact that absolutely no university earned Tier-6, no one got Distinction. This means there is still room for improvement for everyone, MMU included," Prof. Zaharin said. The ranking is formally known as the Rating System for Institutions of Higher Learning (Setara), and is outlined by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). 2009's exercise was led by Prof. Muhammad Jantan of Universiti Sains Malaysia. The system assessed 25 criteria covering the input, process, and output of the universities. This is the first time the rankings covered both public and private universities.

Public universities in Tier-5 are International Islamic University Malaysia, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Malaya, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi Mara.

Private Tier-5 institutions are Multimedia University, Universiti KualaLumpur, Universiti Teknologi Petronas, Sunway University College, Curtin University of Technology (Sarawak campus), Monash University (Sunway campus), Taylor's University College, International Medical University, Swinburne University of Technology (Sarawak campus), Nottingham University(Malaysian campus) and Management and Science University.

Neba2020: Hargailah tempat di mana kita menuntut ilmu dan di mana kita mencari rezeki. Jangan hanya tahu membuat komplen tetapi tidak tahu menyumbang kepada sesuatu yang lebih baik .... Bersyukur dengan apa yang ada dan cuba mencari sudut baiknya adalah lebih terpuji daripada sentiasa merasa tidak puas hati dan nampak sisi negatifnya semata-mata ....

Bravo MMU!!!

10 tahun lalu tak ramai yang mengetahui MMU, sekarang sudah gah seantero Malaysia...

Sejarah telah tercipta dan bermula ketika menjejakkan kaki di bumi MMu Bukit Beruang, Ayer Keroh, Melaka. Pertemuan dengan pelbagai bentuk dan jenis personaliti menambahkan pengalaman baru bagi semua yang terlibat...

Dan sejarah pun terus tercatat. Terus-menerus dalam kelangsungan hidup seorang manusia...

Hidup MMu...!!! serta semua bekas studentnya
