THE FACULTY OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTANCY The University of Malaya has a long and established history in business education. Courses in accounting and business were first introduced in 1966 under the Division of Business, Faculty of Economics and Administration. Subsequently, in the early 1980s, the MBA programme was first offered to students who were keen on business education in line with global development. The dynamics of the demand for business education culminated in the formation of the Faculty of Business and Accountancy (FBA) on 1 February 1997. In the year 2000, the University of Malaya, Graduate School of Business (UMGSB) was formalised. Currently the Faculty offers degrees in Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Accounting at the undergraduate level, the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Management (MM) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the post graduate level. The Faculty is headed by the Dean along with three Deputy Deans and a team of Assistant Registrars. The Faculty is supported by six Departments: Finance and Banking, Marketing, Business Strategy and Policy, Management Accounting and Taxation, Financial Accounting and Auditing and Operations and Management Information Systems. The Faculty has close links with the business community, and a substantial number of our faculty members are involved with various established organizations, such as the Employee Provident Fund (EPF), Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA), Malaysian Institute of Chartered Professional Accountants (MICPA), Malaysian Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, Institut Bank-Bank Malaysia (IBBM) and the Financial Planning Association of Malaysia (FPAM). The FBA operates from two campuses, the Main UM Campus located at Lembah Pantai and the City Campus located at Jalan Tun Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. The undergraduate and PhD courses are conducted at the main campus while the MBA and MM programmes are held at the City Campus.

*These courses prepared students for the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) professional examination. Students are eligible to receive various supports from the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and IIA Research Foundation. Islamic Finance**

Core Electives CFGB 6311: Principles of Islamic Economics & Finance CFGB 6312: Islamic Deposits & Financing Management CFGB6314: Applied Islamic Principles in Financial Transactions CFGB 6313: Islamic Finance Regulations & Governance CFGB 6315: Islamic Financial Institutions & Markets CFGB 6316: Islamic Wealth Planning & Management **Students taking this concentration are eligible to apply for exemption from the 1st part of the Chartered Islamic Finance Professional (CIFP) certificate offered by the International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance (INCIEF) Another feature of the UM MBA programme is flexibility, as it allows students the freedom to choose their courses and to decide when to register for each of the courses. It is recommended that students should complete the core courses before embarking on electives. However, it is advisable for students to take Human Capital Management, Accounting for Decision Making and Marketing Management at the early stage of their candidature before attempting other core courses. It is also advisable for students to take Strategic Management at the end of their candidature. RESEARCH PROJECT (6 CREDITS) The Research Project for MBA programmes introduces students to research, thereby providing the opportunity to conduct in depth research in their area of concentration. The research report should demonstrate that the student has the ability to carry out research and/or the ability to carry out constructive criticism, as well as to report their findings accurately and coherently. This research component is a partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree at UM-GSB. MBA students are required to register, complete and obtain a pass in the Research Project before the degree can be awarded. Students may choose to carry out an academic or a consultancy type of research. An academic research is an independent research effort by an individual student under the supervision of an assigned supervisor. For the consultancy type of research, a group of two or three students (but not more than three) are allowed to carry out the research under the supervision of a supervisor. Students are required to obtain a Pass in CMGB 6103-Research Methods in Business before registering for the Research Project. Students shall not plagiarise any idea, writing, data or invention belonging to another person’ (Akta Universiti & Kolej Universiti 1971 – Kaedah-Kaedah)

Page 25: Master of Business Administration

25

The time frame for students to complete the Research Project is at least one semester (excluding Special Semester). Students who face difficulty in completing the report may request an extension of time (by completing Form UMGSB/RP/04), which may be granted upon the discretion of UM-GSB. No grading will be carried out until such time that the Research Project Report has been successfully completed and submitted for examination. Any work in progress will be graded as “P” (in progress) for that particular semester. The evaluation of the Research Project report consists of two components:

• a written report (70% of final grade); and • an oral presentation (30%).

Grading of the Research Project report is subjected to the same Grading System adopted by UM-GSB, Faculty of Business & Accountancy, University of Malaya. Upon submission and examination, students who fail to obtain a “Pass” will have to make corrections to the report based on the comments of the supervisor(s) and examiner. The report will then have to be resubmitted for examination.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS Students are REQUIRED to obtain a Grade Point Average (GPA) and a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 3.0 for every semester. In order to graduate, students must obtain a minimum CGPA of 3.0. Students with a GPA of less than 3.00 in a normal semester will be placed on an Academic Probationary Period in the following normal semester. The candidature of any student who is placed on an Academic Probationary Period for TWO consecutive normal semesters will be terminated. The probation period shall end when the student has successfully attained a GPA of 3.00 and above. Students must obtain a minimum grade B for all core courses, failing which students must repeat the course, subject to a maximum of three attempts. After the third attempt, if the student fails to redeem with a minimum grade B their candidature will be TERMINATED. For elective courses, students who obtain grade B-, C or C+ can be given a conditional pass if their CGPA is above 3.0. Students with a CGPA of less than 3.0 have an option to either repeat the same course to improve the grade or to take another elective course, which has to be done during the period of candidature.

EVALUATION FORMAT All courses adopt an assessment system that incorporates course work and a final examination. Course work carries 60% of the total marks and the final examination contributes 40%. Coursework may include written assignments, written case analysis, oral presentations, participation in class discussions, and mid-semester examinations. The grading system for all courses is as follows:

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMME UM organises a student exchange programme with various institutions around the world. The countries/institutions popular among students are Rouen Graduate School of Business, France, Georg-Simon-Ohm-Fachhochschule Nürnberg, Germany and Melbourne University, Australia. The aim of this exchange programme is to prepare students for the global economy by providing them with an opportunity to broaden their perspective and gain greater insights into business and management practice, as well as the cross-cultural perspective of business and management. Students who have completed their second semester and achieved a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.3 and above are eligible to apply. The duration of the exchange programme is for one semester, which is approximately four to five months. Students must register as a full-time student with the host institution for the duration of the exchange programme. There is no payment of tuition fees to the host institution but tuition fees will have to be paid to the University of Malaya. This is the unique feature of our exchange programme – paying local fees for international experience. Students should choose courses in the host institution that are equivalent to the elective courses offered by the UM-MBA programme. Transfer of credits for courses taken at a host institution can be allowed for up to nine credit hours of elective courses under the UM-MBA programme. Students are requested to obtain prior approval for the courses to be taken at the host institution for consideration of credit transfer. Upon returning to UM, students can apply for credit transfer by submitting the transcript from the host institution. Details of the exchange programme can be obtained from UMGSB and International and Corporate Relations Office (ICR).
