Our Masters Students Adil Amin Master of Power System From: Pakistan Maizatul Akmal Abdul Muttlib Master of Biomedical From: Malaysia Mageswaran Murugiya Master of Safety, Health & Environment From: Malaysia engineering@um is one of the most prestigious and ranked one of the world s top engineering schools. The Electrical (Power System) Masters programme fulfils the current needs of the industrial market and the research laboratories are well equipped with modern instruments. The interaction with experienced academics was interactive and valuable. UM provides the perfect learning environment with its equally focused co-curricular activities and multicultural environment. Living away from home was really challenging but with the support of international communities here at UM has transformed this challenge to an opportunity where one can interact with the people of different nationalities and can share their culture. After finishing my studies I would like to become an academician, thanks to the wonderful memories at UM. I graduated from UM and am currently working as a Biomedical Engineer at the National Heart Institute (IJN) and pursuing my Master Degree (Coursework) in Biomedical. I decided to pursue a Masters as I wanted to challenge myself to go beyond the limit and pursue my passion. UM is known both locally and internationally for its academic reputation as a top leading university and the strategic location of UM makes it an ideal place to study. The academicians are very dedicated, experienced and their two-way communication allows students to work collaboratively with lecturers. The weekend classes is ideal for a working adult like myself. The knowledge, skills and qualities that I have gained and developed throughout the course are very beneficial to my career in so many aspects especially in terms of critical thinking, analytical ability and time management skills. These value added factors will put me in line for growth opportunities within my organisation. Finally, UM has top-notch facilities such as various fully equipped labs for research works, university and faculty libraries, sports arena, dedicated examination building, shuttles and residential colleges that creates such a conducive and enjoyable environment for learning. I studied Biosystems locally and worked as an engineer for 1 year. I changed my career path to become a Physics teacher in private school recently. This transformation from a technical degree to an education path is because I want to pursue my ambition to become a lecturer. UM is my first choice for postgraduate studies because of the weekend classes for postgrad studies, experienced lecturers, excellent curriculum and the active sharing of knowledge amongst the postgrad students. I found the program to be extremely beneficial especially in terms of auditing of safety, analytical skills to think out of the box and more importantly to apply the knowledge of what I learnt at my current workplace.
