Students vis-a-vis supervisers

I found this place which discusses relationships between students and their supervisers. Should be interesting reading.

Eight students recipients of MOSTI's scholarship

The Centre would like to congratulate the eight students who finally managed to receive the MOSTI's scholarship.

MOSTI has revised the scholarship policies and all students who are interested should check with the Ministry's website for further details.

Supervision Workshop is postponed ad infinitum

We are sorry to inform prospective participants and guests that the workshop is cancelled due to unforseen circumstances.

Please contact the deputy dean or assistant registrar of the Centre for further information if you have any enquiries.

Come one, come all

The Supervisor Workshop will be held from July 11 to 13, 2008, at the Naza Hotel Melaka. Participants can check-in the hotel anytime after 3.00pm. The Workshop starts at 8.30pm after dinner.

Directions to the workshop

After the toll at Air Keroh, follow the main road heading towards Pusat Bandar Melaka and head towards Melaka Sentral/Tesco area. At the Melaka Sentral/Tesco junction drive through the traffic lights and turn left at the next light into Jalan Tun Perak. Do not turn left into Jalan Panglima Awang, at the Melaka Sentral/Tesco junction, as Jalan Tun Ali is a one-way street. Take left into Jalan Tun Ali and the hotel is just after the junction. Parking is at the rear.
