Hey, thanks for the replies man! Much appreciated.

1) I had a look at the course, and I kinda like what I see. However I'm a little bit confused with the credits.

Just to confirm, Group B electives a.k.a Enrichment modules are only worth 2 credit units, yes? On the programme outline page, it says '4 credits', so could it be a typo?

Another thing: Under 'structure' (http://sunway.edu.my/fia/programme-outline) it says that students must successfully complete a minimum 55 credits. However, later on, it says

"Foreign students are exempted from taking MQA subjects but are strongly advised to take an additional subject to attain 51 credit hours for graduation."

I am not a Malaysian, so I'm exempted from taking MQA subjects (and never do I want to touch them), but do I have to complete 55 hours or 51 hours to graduate? I notice that there are accounting and computer science modules and I really, REALLY want to stay at least 500 metres away from accounting stuff. Computing stuff isn't that bad, but I still refuse to take it as well- because it would affect my grades. I only study what I like or what I think is necessary for me. I calculated the total hours and if I were to leave out accounting and computing modules (16 hours), I would only have 54 hours, which is 1 hour short of the 55 required. Yet, it is stated that foreign students need 51 hours to graduate. Can you please advise?

2) Uhh... no, neuropsychology is not under psychiatry. It's a psychology module. I also don't recall saying 'in depth' modules, just biological and neurochemical modules associated with psychology, e.g. Biopsychology (which is, however, offered at HELP in year 2). But never mind lah. You guys have your own modular approach. Just curious only.

3) Uhm not all degree courses are honours courses. Those honours courses also will not award honours if one cannot obtain at least 3.5 CPGA (IIRC). But never mind, small issue here.

4) Yes, but my question is still unanswered. Do I use 'Sunway' or 'Lancaster' behind my name? I get that it's awarded by 2 bodies; the reason why I'm so aggressively enquiring is because I want to know if I would be treated as an equal graduate of Lancaster Uni and thus have the right to use [Name] Bsc, Hons (Lancaster) in any name cards I have.

And one more question: Will the psychology degree by Sunway be recognised as an honours degree equivalent to a UK honours degree by the British Psychological Society (BPS)? This means that would I be accepted by the BPS for the Graduate Basis of Chartered membership (a.k.a GBC)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, can i ask how to apply for the foundation in arts and how much are the fees? And also what are the requirements to enter?

Hi, we have called you and I hope your questions have been answered. Thank you for your interest

Hi, kindly PM us your email address and we will send you the fees. You will need 5 credits in SPM to enter the Foundation in Arts

Kindly PM us your email address for fees.

Qualification? Do you mean entry requirement? You will need 3 credits in SPM/O-Level/UEC (inclusive of English or Mathematics)

A degree is a higher qualification compared to a diploma and it also takes a longer period. The Diploma in Business Administration will take a minimum of 2 years 4 months and our degree programmes will take a minimum of 3 years.

what is the different between college and university?
is university doin the same thing as college does?

Hi,

I would like to know more about your psychology course. Do you have ptpn loan for psychology course in sunway university college.

I'm still deciding between 2 pre-u courses in sunway which is the canadian matriculation(CIMP) and MUFY.

I've been told some bad things about CIMP,but don't know how true is that.
As for MUFY,the syllabus is rather shallow for those who wish to pursue a science related course or a medicine course (especially for the first year). My brother was a MUFY student who graduated last year and is currently doing medicine in Monash University Sunway campus and has confirmed the above statement.

Im stuck between chosing either CIMP or MUFY as i like the 70:30 ratio for CIMP but worried after what ive been told about the problems that are faced by CIMP students.As for MUFY im worried about the shallow syllabus and the fact that MUFY only allows me either to Australia or Malaysia ( Monash University).

can i know the pros and cons for both CIMP and MUFY?

can i know more on the different between maths 3a/3b and maths 3c/3d for AUSMAT ...

Hi! I am interested in your A level course (July intake).

1) Can I know how much is the fees?

2) I noticed that scholarships are provided for students. When do I need to apply for it? With free tuition wavier, how much do I need to pay for the miscellaneous fees and other fees?

3) If I drive to Sunway (PJ Campus), is it difficult to find parking in the campus or around the campus?

Thank you very much

Sorry for the late reply. But a college and university both differ in the qualifications offered. Universities are usually educational institutions who are given authority to confer degrees to its students. Colleges will focus more on Pre-University programmes/Diplomas or vocational training courses.

Hope this answers your question.

Both MUFY and CIMP are considered as a year 12 equivalents, therefore they are of the same level in most cases.

If you are looking at a pre-university programme that is in-depth, then it will be A Level instead because this is a year 13 equivalent.

May I check with you what are the bad things that you heard about CIMP so that I can help you rectify? You can email it to us at info@sunway.edu.my and we can help clarify further some of the doubts that you have.

They refer to the different levels of Mathematics in AUSMAT. 3A/3B and 3C/3D will focus on different areas of Mathematics depending on the field you are going to study for your degree.

There will be a Mathematics placement test in AUSMAT to determine the level of Mathematics you will need at the beginning of the programme. And we will place you accordingly.

1) Could you kindly PM us your email address? We will email it to you

2) You can view the Entrance Scholarship details here. You will need to apply for it at least TWO weeks AFTER the commencement of the programme. We will let you know the extra fees via email

3) There are several options for parking. You can read it up here.

Thanks for the explanation.
Does this mean that MUFY and CIMP graduates are equally almost at the same level?
And can i know what is the difference between foundation and matriculation?
Is it true that foundation is lower than matriculation?
About CIMP, i heard from some that the students are not really serious in their studies and its a pre-u course that is taken pretty lightly by many people.. not sure how true is this though as i do not know any CIMP students myself, so do feel free to tell me the truth as i would like to know whether those rumours are true or not

Someone who has MUFY and CIMP are considered as equivalent. They are considered as a Year 12 student. Foundation is an internal programme that is meant for students aiming to go that specific university mainly, whereas a matriculation is governed by a specific government board, therefore it is internationally recognized.

Since foundation is an internal programme and everything is internally marked, there will be no benchmark in terms of the quality. However, if you are looking at MUFY, it is Monash University’s foundation, therefore we will be able to know the quality of it.

CIMP is a matriculation that focuses on interactive learning with your lecturers. A lot of times, people tend to take it lightly because they consist of 70% course work and only 30% on exams. However, kindly bear in mind that this programme actually trains students to be able to do presentation well, better time management, do assignments/research independently etc. It is just that the system has a different approach, not to be taken lightly.

i'm waiting for my diploma result in TARC but i think i'm most probably gonna fail 1 subject in my last semester.
will i be able to study in sunway college while i resit the failed subject if my cgpa is above the minimum requirement?
TARC only gives out cert once a year so i guess i won't be on graduate list. i don't know what i can do now, will this 1 failed subject mess up everything?
because i don't want to wait another year until i resit and pass the subject and then continue studying degree.
please enlighten me..thank you

Thanks for the explanation .
It has definitely cleared some of the doubts i have about CIMP and MUFY and rumours that i had heard from others about CIMP .
I'm really interested in CIMP and might join this pre-u programme for the next intake!
