What Is MMU (Multimedia University) and What Does Its Website Offer?
Updated
MMU (Multimedia University) is a private university in Malaysia with campuses in Cyberjaya and Melaka. Its website, mmu.edu.my, is the main entry point for prospective students and others to explore programmes by faculty, campus, and study level, and to find admission steps, scholarships and financial aid, research information, and student services. Use the site if you are comparing study options, preparing an application, or looking for official university contacts and resources.
What the website covers
The homepage and navigation group information into a few clear areas:
- Programmes – the full catalogue, organized by faculty, campus, and level
- Admission – how to apply, lifelong education routes, and micro-credentials
- Fees and finance – fee structure, finance info, scholarships and financial aid
- Student services – accommodation and support links
- Research – the university's research arm, IP Mall, and MMU Press
- About and news – history, vision and mission, leadership, news, and publications
- International students – Malaysia and visa information, plus country representatives
Programmes: how the catalogue is organized
The programme listings can be browsed in three ways, which helps you narrow down quickly.
By faculty
The site lists these faculties:
| Faculty | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| Faculty of Cinematic Arts | FCA |
| Faculty of Law | FOL |
| Faculty of Engineering & Technology | FET |
| Faculty of Artificial Intelligence & Engineering | FAIE |
| Faculty of Computing & Informatics | FCI |
| Faculty of Information Science & Technology | FIST |
| Faculty of Management | FOM |
| Faculty of Creative Multimedia | FCM |
| Faculty of Applied Communication | FAC |
| Faculty of Business | FOB |
Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is also listed as a study route.
By campus
- Cyberjaya – foundation, diploma and degree programmes in business and accounting, creative multimedia, strategic communication, engineering, information technology and computer science, and cinematic arts; postgraduate programmes by research, coursework, and mixed mode; plus ODL
- Melaka – foundation, diploma and degree programmes in business and accounting, engineering and technology, information technology and computer science, and law; postgraduate programmes by research and coursework
By level
Foundation, diploma, degree, and postgraduate study (master's by research or coursework, PhD by research, and doctorate by mixed mode). A separate full list of programmes with MQA certificates is available, as is a "Build Your Own Curriculum" (BYOC) option.
Admission and study routes
The How to Apply page is the starting point for applications. The site also describes alternative and flexible routes:
- APEL.A and APEL.C at MMU – accreditation of prior experiential learning, relevant if you want prior work or learning experience assessed
- Micro-credentials – short, focused credentials
- ODL – online and distance learning degrees, master's programmes, and foundation/diploma/degree options
The homepage also shows intake info and a scholarship entry, so check those pages for current dates and eligibility rather than relying on general assumptions.
What else you can find
- Why Study @ MMU – academic excellence, campus and facilities, government liaison and industry engagement, awards, alumni, and innovation and entrepreneurship
- Research – MMU Research Arm (TM R&D), IP Mall, and MMU Press
- Quick links – academic calendar, MMU Portal, the Tun Dr. Hasmah Mohd Ali Digital Library, Directory of Expertise, Students' Representative Council, Centre for Alumni, and Registry of Graduates
- Contact and business enquiries – for official follow-up
How to use the site effectively
- Start with your level and campus. If you know whether you want foundation, diploma, degree, or postgraduate study, and whether Cyberjaya or Melaka suits you, the by-campus and by-level views cut the list fastest.
- Confirm the programme details. Open the specific programme page and check the faculty, level, and mode (on-campus or ODL). For accredited programme listings, use the full MQA certificate list.
- Check admission and funding together. Read How to Apply alongside the fee structure and scholarship pages, since the practical decision usually depends on both.
- Use the right route if you are a non-standard applicant. If you have work experience or prior learning rather than recent formal qualifications, look at APEL.A/APEL.C and micro-credentials before assuming a traditional application is your only option.
- Verify dates and contacts on the live site. Intake dates, scholarship terms, and fees can change; the academic calendar and contact pages are the authoritative sources.
A common pitfall is treating the homepage programme menu as the complete list. The site separates programmes by faculty, campus, and level, and also offers a full MQA-certified list and BYOC, so cross-check before you shortlist. International applicants should go through the International Students section for visa and country representative information rather than the general admission pages alone.
