What Our Learners & Alumni Say
I was an OUM lecturer for nearly 15 years. I taught fully online, which deepened my passion for e-learning. Now, as a nurse educator in Jeddah, I use digital tools to create engaging courses. I chose my doctorate for its comprehensive curriculum. It covered educational technology, instructional design, clinical skills, leadership, research, healthcare innovation, and professional growth. OUM lecturers bring real-world expertise to their teaching.

I’m responsible for workplace safety, especially in high-risk industries like construction and manufacturing. Working in an MNC on large-scale projects has shown me the importance of protecting both workers and the environment. While experience is crucial, formal education has deepened my understanding of the theories and regulations in the field. Overall, my degree has greatly enhanced my strategic and operational skills.

After years of attempting interviews, I took up PGDT to increase my chances of becoming a teacher.
During my studies, got interested in integrating technology into education, which has not only enhanced my teaching methods but also sparked creativity in my students.

OUM has highly qualified nursing lecturers who have both theoretical knowledge and practical insights from real-world experience. Their mentorship helped me apply classroom concepts to my work. I also benefited from OUM’s excellent student support services e.g. its online library, academic advising, and peer support. Connecting with other professionals with similar goals made the experience even more collaborative and engaging.

I embarked on PGDIS a decade after completing my doctorate in business administration. PGDIS is an ideal platform to explore Islamic knowledge in various perspectives. As a senior citizen, I paid only 50% of the total fees. If I couldn’t attend a class, I could watch its recording later, as all classes are online.

When I started my master’s, I realised how much I loved the courses because they aligned with my career path. This connection allowed me to draw on my experiences, making the subjects more engaging and enhancing my critical thinking skills.
Enjoying my studies was essential; it alleviated stress even during busy times. Always remember: Knowledge is never-ending!

For the past 9 years, I’ve been a Senior Finance Clerk at the Public Works Department in Sarawak and an Assistant Accountant for 6 years. To officially hold the latter position, I needed a diploma. As the Head of the Accounts Section, I wanted to enhance my competencies as the State Government was modernising its civil service e.g. it moved from modified cash basis to accrual accounting in 2022. My studies helped me adapt to this new system.
