“The quality of education offered by Multimedia University (MMU) is top-notch and technology-driven. MMU provides plenty of study materials and access to published journals that are accessible to the convenience of their students, not forgetting the experienced lecturers who are passionate in improving the quality of lectures and tutorials. The dynamic environment of this university cultivates their students to enhance their capabilities in all aspects which moulds aspiring leaders in the future. My bachelors have helped me greatly in obtaining my first job in the telecommunications industry as it comes as no surprise that MMU graduates are highly preferred due to the industry-based course structure. For instance, I was involved in the first 3G network roll-out of a particular operator in Malaysia and the research that I have done on 4G technology has given me the advantage of understanding the practical aspects of LTE (Long Term Evolution) that are applicable to my current workforce. This has improved the efficiency in providing feasible solutions to clients which ensures the high performance of project delivery for Malaysia's telecommunication network."

“MMU has excellent academic staff and state-of-art infrastructure to support students who aspire to succeed. The supervisor for my final year project was helpful and skillful, and the project prepared me well for the industry. During my study, I participated in the National Semiconductor contest, and it gave me the opportunity to be creative, innovative and strike through to win the competition. Besides, the rich campus activities help cultivate the proactiveness of students and the sense of accountability when running projects. I find that the multi racial/nation campus environment helps us to prepare to work in a multinational corporation. Furthermore, the medium of instruction in English helps improve our communication and interpersonnal skill in the industry.

Currently I am taking care of Network Evolution Strategy for operators, and also as a consultant for Radio Access Network technology in the company.”
