University Admission for Students with Lesser Academic
Qualifications
The the time of the older generation, getting into a university was a luxury
that many had to be content with their General Certificate of Education (GCE).
Today, however, education is no longer a luxury but a given right, and a mere
Penilaian Mengah Rengah (PMR) qualification is also not a bar to pursuing higher
education.
In Wawasan Open University (WOU) a student with dedication and persistence could
also obtain a diploma, degree or a higher certificate.
Student can enrol in WOU subject to an assessment of work experience or a
diagnostic test to assess the academic aptitude, interest and suitability.
WOU also offered scholarships to those who needed financial assistance, as well
as arranged for those facing difficulty in getting study loans from banks.
Affordable and accessible is what this university is all about. Student take as
long as could be to complete a degree, student can take five years or even 10
years to complete.
WOU offers more than 11 undergraduate programmes to choose from.
Apart from regular university admission, WOU also admits students through its
unique Open Entry admission system. Aspiring students who do not possess the
necessary academic qualifications but have sufficient work experience are
eligible to enroll through this unique open entry admission system. In a
knowledge driven economy, the issue is no longer how much a person knows. It is
more on how one can make use of the opportunities available to undergo constant
skills upgrading and retraining in order to stay ahead of your competitors in
today’s demanding workplace. With this WOU is committed to meeting the needs of
working adults through its flexible, affordable and accessible education.
Partners in Collaboration
WAWASAN OPEN UNIVERSITY aims to provide world-class education to all Malaysians.
To attain global academic standards, offer industry-relevant knowledge and
skills, as well as provide international-class qualifications, it plans to
establish academic working relationship with:
Kolej Disted-Stamford Penang
Open Polytechnic New Zealand
Open University Hong Kong
Open University United Kingdom
The Commonwealth of Learning
Official Opening of Wawasan Open University (WOU)
WAWASAN Open University was officially launched on 22nd September 2006 by Higher
Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed.
WOU is Malaysia second open university after Open University Malaysia (OUM). The
university is located in Penang and funded by Wawasan Education Foundation, a
tax-exempted entity established by Gerakan and supported by the Yeap Chor Ee
Charitable and Endowment Trusts.
With the concept of open learning, higher education is not only for those aged
17 to 25 years but also those beyond 25.
The existence of two open universities in Malaysia encourage service providers
to give wider opportunities for adults to continue their studies, which have
been limited before.
There were about five million people in Malaysia who had passed the Sijil
Pelajaran Malaysia examination but could not continue their studies to
university level. These include civil servants, teachers, police personnel and
factory workers. Just one per cent of this will be 50,000 people. Thus two open
universities may not be enough to provide the opportunities for higher education
among this group.
When Wawasan Open University (WOU) opened its door on 22nd January 2007, the
initial offering were 11 undergraduate degree programmes under three faculties -
the science and technology,
business administration and
foundation studies.
Courses include
degrees in information systems,
computing science & artificial intelligence,
business information systems,
accounting and sales & marketing.
The cost of an undergraduate programme is about RM16,000.
Industry Driven Curricular Design
All Wawasan Open University’s programs from diploma to doctorate level were
designed by leading international and local experts with input from the key
industry figures and organizations. At postgraduate level, the university offers
the Commonwealth Executive Master of Business Administration and the
Commonwealth Executive Master of Public Administration, jointly developed by
subject experts from open universities across the Commonwealth in collaboration
with the Vancouver based Commonwealth of Learning. It also offers two MBA
programs with specializations in construction management and manufacturing and
production management and Doctor and Masters of Philosophy to professionals in
the respective industries.
Recognized and Accredited by Government
All WOU programs are approved by Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE)
and accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
The Commonwealth Executive Master of Business Administration (CeMBA) program as
well as the business and technology degree programs are recognized by the Public
Service Department (JPA).
Online Distance Learning requires independent thinking and confidence, qualities
international and local employers recognize in WOU students.
College and university graduates of today are expected to have a much stronger
business understanding, soft skills and knowledge of leading edge technology
such as cloud computing, Web 2.0 and beyond.
Knowledge driven organizations should invest in training their workforce.
Workers themselves must also realize that increasing their skills base enhances
their employability and hence promotion prospects.
Student Centered Learning Support
With an effective blend of conventional and technology based delivery methods,
students enjoy the best of both worlds at WOU. The Open Distance Learning
environment at Wawasan Open University, Malaysia serves to develop the student’s
skills as they absorb knowledge through self learning, monthly face to face
tutorials, additional tutor assistance via phone or email counseling and other
user friendly ICT based learner support services.
The university’s unique learning management system, the WawasanLearn, offers an
interactive platform for students to interact with the students in WOU and
manage their studies at their own pace.
Students will decide what to study anytime, anywhere. The self-paced learning
environment ensures that learners are not burdened with a rigid schedule and
fixed durations. At WOU, there is no maximum time limit imposed.
Affordable and Flexible Tuition Payment
Education fees are kept low and with a flexible payment system where students
pay only for the number of courses registered in each semester.
To provide more study opportunities to adult learners, the university offers new
students access to great fee rebates and WOU Study Grand for those eligible when
they register for any of the undergraduate programs. Other financial incentives
are in store to make learning more affordable.
Distance Learning from Private Universities

learning programmes in 2013:
1) Al-Madinah International University
2) Universiti Tun Abdul Razak
3) Wawasan Open University
4) Malaysia Open University
5) Asia e University
6) International Centre for Education in
Islamic Finance
Course curriculum are conducted by the universities and it achieved the
specified result and followed guidelines set by the Malaysian Qualifications
Agency (MQA).
To ensure the quality control of IPTS in terms of curriculum and long distance
learning, the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) supervise and monitor the
universities periodically.
In monitored long distance learning programmes offered by universities, a higher
education committee was set up to approve and monitor courses offered by
universities, including long distance learning programmes.
MQA has also developed the Open and Distance Learning Practice Code to help
universities ensure quality of long distance learning programmes was on par with
those carried out conventionally.
Wawasan Open University is dedicated to serve the needs of adult learners.
Currently, it programmes offers through the open distance learning mode are :
1) sub-degree,
2) degree and
3) postgraduate .
Based in Penang, it strategically utilizes information technology, a network of
regional offices, learning centers and a team of well-trained tutors to support
students throughout the nation.
Gain the knowledge and skills you need to advance in the public services sector
with a Commonwealth Executive Master of Public Administration (CeMPA) degree
from Wawasan Open University (WOU).
Those who are school teacher, or working in government-related bodies, NGOs or
international agencies, can now have a leg-up to prosper in job or even enter
another career path.
WOU offers this opportunity to working adults, especially to those in the
government sector, to obtain a master’s degree while they work. WOU has already
produced graduates from among government employees who are the proud holders of
the CeMPA degree.
Many chose to study at WOU because of the flexible study times.
Learners are exposed to public policy, public systems management, contemporary
administrative systems, development planning and administration, disaster
management, corporate governance and ethics, and project management.
Learners can continue to work while they pursue their CeMPA qualifications, from
the comfort of their home or anywhere, according to their own pace and
convenience.
Wawasan Open University (WOU) has appealed to the Higher Education Ministry to
reduce from five to four years the period for a degree-level programme
The requirement was not only too long but would turn away prospective students.
The ministry demands that they must study for five years before they can get a
degree. Those who join open university will have to spend five years before they
can get a degree.
This will scare the people
Malaysian working adults should work harder and keep on improving themselves in
order to help Malaysia become a high-income nation by 2020.
He said the culture among working adults to further their studies was at a very
low level compared to other countries, especially developed countries.
There were more than 10 million workers in Malaysia but less than 20 percent of
them have degrees, whereas a big percentage of them were Sijil Pelajaran
Malaysia (SPM) holders.
