Message from

Principal

Across the Diet 37% Masters graduates achieved distinction or merit,

10% Bachelor graduates achieved first class degrees with a further

70% achieving second class degrees. These results are comparable

with those achieved by students who study for the same degrees in the

UK. This is a reflection of their application to their studies and the skill

and commitment of the faculty at FTMS.

Taking diploma and degree awards together Anglia Ruskin University

accounted for some 54% of all the course awards conferred, or 63% of

degrees. About half of these were the very popular ARU MBA which

has the attraction, especially for those who are already in work, that

student assessment does not involve written examinations. Also

popular are ARU first degrees in HR Management, International

Management, Marketing, Accounting & Finance and Business

Management.

The University of East London has proved popular with students at

Masters and first degree levels for the degrees of Business Information

Systems, Computer Systems Engineering, Computer Networks and

Software Engineering.

During the Convocation awards were made to mark exceptional

performance to the best of FTMS Malaysia students as follows:
