c o u r s e s + a v a i l a b l e "EDUCATION FOR ALL" IS THE MOTTO OF THE OPEN UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA (UNIVERSITI TERBUKA MALAYSIA), WHICH EVER SINCE ITS OPENING IN THE YEAR 2000 HAS ESTABLISHED 53 LEARNING CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
Malaysian Students team blog last year (2007) discussed five "Rising Sun" careers for the future -- Nutrition/Food Science came in at number three. The blog posed the rhetorical question: what is the difference between Nutrition and Food Science? "Pardon me for not knowing the differences," the team answered. "For me, they are 'almost' the same. I went to the edu fair once before, and I bumped in to a booth. I asked the college receptionist regarding about the food science, and they told me that it is a field which deals with food and the contents in it. And when I inquired about the differences between the nutrition and food science, another staffs told me, "I'm sorry sir, our courses are only opened to girls.", which means, I didn't get the explanation of the differences between them. I'm sorry.

c u l t u r e + s h o c k CULTURE SHOCK AFFECTS AND AFFLICTS THE BEST OF US, AND IS IN FACT, A SIGN THAT YOU ARE LEARNING TO ADJUST TO A NEW CULTURE AND SOCIETY AND A NEW WAY OF BEING. My tried and true formula for dealing with culture shock, has always been, to go to the nearest bar and get plastered -- or at least to do someting which reminds you of home, or makes you feel at home. Culture shock is something which should be worked through gradually, and serenely -- don't go flying for the door, but rather work through your homesickness in the Zen fashion (ie, by doing nothing). On her website, Julia Ferguson has this to say about culture shock (and how to beat it): This period of cultural adjustment involves everything from getting used to the food and language to learning how to use the telephone. No matter how patient and flexible you are, adjusting to a new culture can, at times, be difficult and frustrating. It is easy to get lost, depressed and homesick. You may even want to go back home! Don't panic?cthese are all totally normal reactions and you are not alone. Sometimes it is hard to remember why you decided to leave home. You are on an adventure - a wonderful opportunity to grow and learn - but it does not always seem that way. Although you cannot avoid culture shock entirely, we have a number of tips that will help you get through difficult moments: * Start a journal of the new things you come across every day and your reactions to your new home. Writing things down will help you keep them in perspective, and are funny to look back on! * Never confuse your ability to speak the new language with your intelligence; it is easy to feel stupid and get down on yourself, but there is no reason to. It takes everyone some time to adjust and become comfortable with a new language. * Be physically active! Walk, swim, run, play tennis or do some other physical activity you enjoy often. You will feel better, meet new people and keep in shape. * Keep your sense of humour. Try, no matter how hard it is, to see something of value in every new experience and challenge you come across. Laugh now, not just later! *Take advantage of services that your university, church or community offer. Contact a counsellor at the International Students Office, a resident advisor if you live in residence halls, someone at your church?c. If you are having a problem with something, tell someone! They will want to help you, and you will feel a lot better having people to support you. Don't be afraid to speak up. Adjusting to a new culture can be difficult and frustrating, but it can also be a wonderful, thought provoking time of your life during which you will grow as a person. Living in a foreign country will open new doors, introduce you to new ways of thinking, and give you the opportunity to make life-long friends. Keep smiling!

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BROADENING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS BASE BY OBTAINING A UNIVERSITY DIPLOMA, BUT LACK THE TIME OR PHYSICAL CIRCUMSTANCES TO SIT CLASSES? If so you should consider one of the many distance education options which have mushroomed in Malaysia in recent years, as technological development and the rollout of the Internet bring higher learning into potentially every village and house in the nation. Actually -- make that every village and house in the entire developing world, because Malaysia is positioning itself as a global power in the burgeoning field of virtual education. Malaysia is doing this out of necessity -- a virtual university is much cheaper to run and cheaper to enrol in, than the typical bricks and mortar university of the West. And Malaysia has a huge need for an educated workforce, to carry it towards its goal of being a developed nation by 2020.
Food science and Nutrition is the integrated study of food chemistry, food microbiology for quality control, human nutrition, food engineering, processing and preservation. It involves an understanding of how diets and nutrition affect the health of individuals, technologies for creating new food products, and making current products more stable, nutritious, convenient, reliable and safe.
