| Summary: | The Open University Malaysia (OUM) started operations on the August of year 2000
as the seventh private university in Malaysia with a pioneer batch of 400 students. It is
currently in its fourth year of operation with 25,000 students enrolled in the
university’s 17 programs. OUM is a private university established by a consortium of
eleven public universities, thus making it unique, especially in the way it is managed
and funded. Unlike its stakeholders, OUM is also an open and distance learning (ODL)
institution – the first and the only one in Malaysia to date. (Abstract by author) |
