Hi

I'm from Laos living in Thailand.

I'm thinking about studying GIS at bachelor program. This is the only university that I have found offering GIS bachelor degree in English in Malaysia as well as in Southeast Asia (excluding Singapore). The problem is that I cannot find any student review about Geomatika university on the Internet. So, I'm not sure about its quality and how its students think of this university.

If anybody knows about this university or its GIS bachelor program, please let me know.

I also want to find some popular forum for students in Malaysia to ask them about this university, but I do not what are popular forums in Malaysia for university students and students who are preparing to enroll in universities. If somehow you know some forums, please let me know.

Thanks

The degree might not be widely recognised from this college

Thanks for your answer, Gravitas.

I already checked GIS courses available in Malaysia previously on , but among 6 universities offering degrees in GIS, there is only Geomatika university provides bachelor degree in GIS, the rest of them only offer Diploma, Master and PhD degrees.

I've searched around the internet about GIS bachelor courses in Southeast Asia. It seems that, in SEA (excluding Singapore), only Geomatika offers GIS program at bachelor level. It is relatively disappointing for the unpopularity and underdevelopment of GIS in SEA.

Hello,
I just joined this platform called EMGS Connect where you can get information about studying and living in Malaysia as a student, as I am looking into studying there myself. Apparently you can also interact with other people on the site. Maybe you will find it helpful?

Some information from their About page:
"EMGS Connect is an independent, neutral source of up-to-date information on studying and living in Malaysia as a student. It gives you the opportunity to interact with current students in Malaysia to obtain information on various aspects of studying and living in Malaysia. It will also provide you with the opportunity to participate in online campaigns and webinars geared towards studying and living in Malaysia."
