Hey I'd like to know about the scholarship for those taking SPM this year.
I see from the website that one needs 11A & A+ and above to obtain Full Tuition Fee Waiver. But SPM 2010 has limited subjects to 10.

Mind to tell me the fees of Monash Foundation?

Mind to tell me the fees of Monash Foundation?

The government just implemented the system last year. So the new scholarship requirements will only be implemented later this year.

The website now displays the requirements for SPM 2009 and not 2010. Please check back later this year for the new requirements. Thank you

Can you PM us your email address? We will email you the fees

lol what does that have to do with fees for MUFY ^^"

There is very little difference between BSc(Hons) Psychology and Bachelor of Psychology in that they are purely focused on Psychology with little to no external subjects (like business, general education, mathematics, etc.). Subjects will differ from university to university. Different universities will also have different ways of naming their degree.

The (Hons) will also indicate the system where in Sunway, with our tie to Lancaster, UK, we refer to the UK system of (Hons). Therefore, our syllabus is a collaboration with Lancaster and isn't in-bred. Being science based will also indicate the method of study and the syllabus.

Do have a look at our Psychology brochure

I had a look at the brochure and I realised that the alternative to pursuing the degree for BSc in Psychology (Hons) is the Sunway Foundation in Arts. Why is a science degree requiring an arts foundation instead of a science foundation? Do kindly explain.

Also, I'm a little concerned with the quote above. While the degree is essentially the same, I disagree with what you mentioned about the (Hons). An honours course generally offers additions to a degree programme in the form of having the opportunity of taking more electives, and allows the student to graduate with first, second or third class honours, all of which are more prestigious than a plain degree. It's not so much as how the degree is named, but what goes into it to make it an honours degree. Entry to most UK and US postgrad courses in respectable unis require at LEAST a lower second class honours degree, and for direct entry to a PhD/DocPhil/DPsy, you need at least an upper second honours. It's rather ridiculous for the title of 'honours' to be conferred to a degree just because it's granted by a UK uni. The reason why it was named (hons) is probably because that's the only degree offered by Lancaster Uni, meaning to say they don't have non-honours psychology degrees. Also, the 'hons' is not an exclusively UK system. It's an international system to denote a more prestigious degree. If it's in collaboration, some elements have to be given by Sunway itself. A collaborative/joint degree is not the same as an offshore degree. An offshore degree is one that isn't as you put it, "in bred".

1) The Arts Foundation contains three semesters in English and Maths which is a requirement for our degree. The BSc degree connotes an in-depth study of Psychology and not necessarily includes Chemistry, Biology, Physics subjects.

2) The honours courses differ from country to country. While in the USA, you do take extra classes for honours, in the UK, it is dependant on grades. As part of Lancaster's validation, we follow this system. You can check with UK universities about their system of grading and conferring honours.

3) We have never promoted our degrees as an offshore/twinning degree. Our programmes are in collaboration with Lancaster to add value to our programmes and to denote quality. That is why our graduates get two certificates upon graduation. One from us and the other from Lancaster.

If you'd like to know more about our programmes, you are welcomed to give us a call at 03-7491 8622 to understand how our programmes work.

Thanks for the quick response!

1) Am I right to say that the Arts foundation comprises only English and Math? And yes, it goes without saying that a Bsc in Psych comprises Psych modules. However, Chemistry and Biology are important and useful subjects for the pursuit of a science degree as Psychology touches on biological and neurochemical topics in it. However, it seems that Sunway's programme does not actually have such subjects in them.

2) Actually in the UK you do have to take more modules if it's an honours course. There are two courses, honours and non honours, but since yours is tied-in with Lancaster, they only offer honours courses for psychology, right?

3) So if for example I am a Sunway psych grad, and I want to use the title Bsc, hons behind my name. Which uni do I use? Sunway or Lancaster? If it's Lancaster, then is the full degree awarded by Lancaster WITH Sunway or Sunway with Lancaster? Because the two are totally different things, as the main award body is Lancaster for the first and Sunway for the second. Who really is the main awarding body?

Does SunwayU has decent gym for its students?
