SPM leaver here, I didn't take Add Maths nor Ekonomi Asas for SPM.

Do I need Add Maths and Ekonomi Asas if I were to take Maths and Economics in A Levels?

hey!

I just registered for UniSA CMM program. I would like to know whether the shutter bus service picks up anywhere near SS2(PJ) or Shah Alam?

No you don't need them.

No. The Shuttle bus only goes around the areas where Taylor's has campuses and their owned accommodations.

Oh.. I see. Thanks anyway! But may i know the exact route the bus takes? Got website or something?

Thanks again ya....

Greetings hikari,

i will be starting college next week. 17th is the orientation day. Honestly speaking, i am really worried lol. Btw, what should i bring on that day ? Are we guys allowed to wear three quater pants ? Any idea of how many students that will be joining the foundation in business next week ?

If you can bring your letter of acceptance and receipt though even if you don't have those it's ok as long as you remember your student ID.
You don't really have to bring anything for orientation. Probably bringing some pens etc. might be a bit useful during activities.

Wearing three quarter pants is not recommended but nothing bad usually happen when you do so though people like the Dean etc. will be quite annoyed by people wearing them.

Not really sure how much though the usual numbers are around 140 +- though the numbers have went up a lot before. I'm not really sure on the exact numbers as I'm no longer working as a student ambassador right now.

any1 currently doin ADP@Taylors? how big is the cohort? has the program met ur expectations?

Greetings to all of you here.
Recently I have been awarded Tertiary Merit Scholarship, I have also enrolled myself.
But i still havent got my agreement?
Should I receive it before orientation or during orientation?
And... the offer letter is just way too simple. ==
Why didn't taylor's include any details about the orientation?
like what activities will be held and something like that?

I don't know about the scholarship agreement, you should call Taylor's for that.
You will only receive details about orientation on the first day of orientation. Just come on that day.

QUESTION!
I am an SPM leaver, and would most likely be furthering my studies into merketing communication in the future,
but as of now i am really confused on which Pre-U programmes to choose from,
Should i take SAM or CPU?
many has said that CPU would be better for me, as it involves alot of event oragnizing, assignments and projects that could really train my speaking skills and critical thinking, but CPU is abit pricey (and also ALOT tougher?) compared to SAM, and some people are telling me SAM is more recognize internationally, especially if i'm aiming for Aussie unis.

CPU's structure will be more relevant to your future choice. Even though both uses 70:30 ratio for marks (70% internal assestments, 30% final exams) SAM is more towards quizzes, mid sem exams etc. though CPU would have more presentations, assignments etc.

CPU is also quite recognized in Aussie. You can find info on entry requirements quite easily.

guys will be joining for my degree in applied finance for 2 years starting feb.

any of u guys know where is a good place to stay? pening kepala olready

btw at taylors lakeside

SAM is also 70% coursework, 30% final exam in 2011. Yes, I agree with Hikari, CPU should be more suitable for you.

There's a list of clubs that Taylor's give me when I received all those student goodies.

They have anime society, basketball club, sky adventure club, squash club etc etc. I mean, they actually have all these in the Subang Jaya campus, or they only have these in the Lakeside campus where the university is located?

And can someone tell me what's this Sky Adventure Club is about? It's about those flying vehicles like helicopters or it's about the universe where we learn about the stars and planets?


P.S. Heck they even have a Ninjitsu Club.

There are certain clubs which are available in all campuses there are certain which are available in some.
When they separated the University and College they separated the clubs according to where most of the main committee is. Some a new commitee would open in the campus where it wasn't around. It would depend on which club you want.
Sky Adventure is doesn't have anything to do with the sky ahaha. They are more go camping, biking, marathons basically all the sporty stuff, going jungle tracking etc.

Hi punkysue. For economics, you won’t need to have studied Ekonomi Asas at SPM. However, in order to do Mathematics at A Levels, you’ll need to have at least an A in SPM modern mathematics. If you took Additional Maths, you’ll need to have obtained a credit. For further clarifications, please call our counselors at 03-56362641.

Added on January 13, 2011, 12:20 amIf you are a new student, within the first two weeks, you will be able to add/drop subjects with no charges and provided if there is still space in the class. We advise you to speak to our course counsellors as soon as you can, at 03-5636 2641 and let them know of your change.

Added on January 13, 2011, 12:22 amA Levels is an international qualification. The key difference between foundation and A levels (or any other pre-university programme) is this – foundation, you can only pursue rour degree at that particular university you completed foundation with. It may be accepted as entry into degree programmes at other universities, but your choices will be very limited. In foundation, you’ll also have to be very very sure of the degree that you’d like to go in. For example, if you choose to complete the Foundation in Business, you’ll only be able to pursue courses in Taylor’s Business School, Lakeside Campus. If you decide after your Foundation in Business that you want to pursue an engineering degree instead, you’ll need to do another year in Foundation in Science.

Doing A Levels or other Pre-University, however, will lllow you to choose whichever degree course you want to go for (dependant on your subjects studied), at whichever university. A large percentage of our pre-university students get into the top 200 universities around the world!

Added on January 13, 2011, 12:24 amADP is essentially the quickest route to get into American universities.
It’s a matter of choice for students. However if you choose to do the ADP and then want to enter into universities in Australia, UK, etc… anywhere that is not Canada/America, you’ll find it more difficult. Choices will definitely be more limited than a pre-u programme.

Added on January 13, 2011, 12:25 amHi! Yes we do have lockers in our campus. Drop by our Student Central to register for your own locker.

Added on January 13, 2011, 12:26 amIt’s the same! we’d highly recommend going to the campus that is nearer to where you stay.

Added on January 13, 2011, 12:27 amHi! If you have your sights set on a communications degree at Taylor’s University, then go for the foundation in communication course. However, if you are still deciding on which university to pursue your communications degree in next time, then we’d strongly advise you to do a pre-university instead. This would mean that you’ve got more university choices (international and local) available to you, after your graduate from pre-u.

Added on January 13, 2011, 12:28 amHey Calvin. Legal studies is about law. You will learn how the legal system works, law-making and how it responds and contributes to social change.

Business studies do not require any pre-requisite. But yes, we do recommend that you do legal studies as that will give you an idea on law and how it relates in business (there is a little bit of an overlap between business and law in your business degree in the future).

can we extend one extra semester for CPU?
CIMP at sunway allows student to extend their CIMP students to extend one more semester, is it the same for taylors?
thanks in advance.

Yes you can. Instead of doing 3 subjects for 2 semesters, you can do 2 subjects each semester for 3 semesters ^^ in CPU. Everything is essentially the same for CIMP and CPU, just the name of the programme is different but you get the same Ontario Secondary School Diploma at the end of the programme
