Prof Normah's next visit was to Manchester Metropolitan University Business School (MMUBS), her alma mater. In a lot of ways, MMU is very much like uitm. Formerly a polytechnic, it was upgraded to a university in 1992. Then the need to highten the research culture began. The MMUBS's transformation is now very much visible both physically and culturally. Today, there are many renowned professors and researchers at the Business School. Prof Normah's supervisor, Graham Holt is now the head of department.
Discusssions during the meeting included students excahange program, internship in Manchester during the summer holidays, "top up" master programs (MMUBS currently has special master programs in collaboration with ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW) and research collaboration in the area of forensic accounting.
