what do you mean by proud? A lot of us are proud of our uni if normal proud definition since we work hard with them ^^

Or do you mean a lot are arrogant? Well you will find those kind of students anywhere.Especially in places like Taylor's and Sunway where there are a lot of rich kids that are pampered by parents around not to say all rich kids are like that but in such a large community like Taylor's and Sunway of course it would be easier to find those kind of people than other colleges.There would be a number of arrogant people around but I would say I haven't meet that many around.I do know a few but hey you can always choose to not hang around them if they annoy you ^^ Most people I know are pretty cool sporting people and very fun to hang out with especially if you involve yourself with ECA you will have more chances to meet great people ^^ Taylor's have a huge community of students there are a lot of people from rich people to people who couldn't afford by to pay themselves but have earned some kind of Taylor's Scholarship and financial aid through their hard work =).There are also JPA/MARA/Bank Negara and other sponsored students around ^^

So I heard there was a parking problem at the lakeside campus.


Added on February 22, 2010, 12:25 amHopefully, they'll get the thing resolved before everyone moves over in April. Speaking of April, I heard the move is supposed to be after a break, but I recall the 2010 Master Academic Calendar mentioning something about a break starting the 3rd week of April. Seeing as the UniSA degree students get a 2-week break, doesn't that mean they'll move in May? <___<

Yeah there's a major parking problem in lakeside now ^^"People actually have to drive all the way and park in PJ and take the shuttle bus to lakeside.The parking problem won't be solved anytime soon >.< After much complaining only they let people with green stickers park at lakeside together with red stickers making competition for parking even worst ^^" The lecturers and staff already took all the parkings under the academic block leaving only those parkings next to Block E for students use...The management told us by the time the commercial block is finished in July there will be approximately 600 more parking spaces so we don't have to worry..... but by then all the other programs would have moved here and add more than thousand students more in lakeside >.<

Which UniSA students are you talking about business or communication? ^^ If I'm not mistaken the new semester for the Business UniSA courses will be starting in lakeside this Tuesday not so sure about when communication will be moving there ^^" but hey it's pretty messed up now so we can only safely say by May most people would be in the lakeside campus probably during that break you mentioned they will do the move I don't see a better timing along those times. ^^

oh what degree are you planning on doing?It might be a better idea to sit for a shorter pre-u like SAM or ICPU if you can't make it with your STPM results depending on what course you are planning to do and where you want to do it since CAL is an 18 months program ^^"

1. How frequent is the A-level real test per year?
The major AS and A2 exams are held twice a year around May/June and October/November

2. Can I take w/o finishing all my syllabus?
um I don't quite understand this question ^^" If you mean you enroll then take AS half way through the course then go straight for A2,I'm not so sure if you can do that.You would have to ask Taylor's if they would allow you to do so.

3. Entry requirement?
Entry Requirements for Cambridge A-Levels and any other pre-u courses in Taylor's are 5 Credits in SPM including English and Math/Science subjects if your planning on taking Math/Science Subjects in A-Levels.

not sure since I did not do CAL but should be since the fees usually have a slight increase by year though I don't think got that much difference from last year.The fees this year in Subang Jaya Campus is RM24,065 (RM8,755+RM7,655+RM7,655) if you do 3 subjects and RM30,095((RM10,765+RM9,665+RM9,655) if you do 4 subjects.Tuition Fees 4 Subjects RM24,120 while 3 Subjects RM18,090 with both having Misc Fees of RM5,975 amounting to the total fees I showed.Fees in Sri Hartamas Campus would be slightly higher.

In brackets are fees for each semester.

Rationally, I don't think so. It depends on your group of friends. Yes, maybe they are rich, but they are not arrogant. They are pretty cool and really help me alot when I first entered taylor's. For your information, I am from JB. I had the same perception as you but time proves me wrong! biggrin.gif

Rationally, I don't think so. It depends on your group of friends. Yes, maybe they are rich, but they are not arrogant. They are pretty cool and really help me alot when I first entered taylor's. For your information, I am from JB. I had the same perception as you but time proves me wrong!  biggrin.gif

No worries. The parking problem will be solved! smile.gif It's been confirmed that there will be more car park space coming up for the coming intake. Probably, you can go to Taylor's Facebook Fan page for more information

Agree with you I meet a lot of cool and great people in Taylor's XD

The parking problems won't really be resolved yet.The problem has existed since classes started in lakeside in January.Taylor's has assured students that when the commercial block is completed in July there will be approximately 600 more parking spaces.Now that much space won't help solve the problem ^^" I just came back from the orientation for February intake degree students today.I was helping with registering the new students and today Taylor's have added approximately 700+ people to their student body ^^" Now considering not everybody drives a car it should still be ok come July if we see from the number of students currently but starting from next month onwards the School of Computing,Design School and others who have not moved to lakeside yet will in phases start moving to lakeside and will completely be moved to lakeside in June.That will be adding a few hundred more people to the lakeside student body not to mention by July there would be another intake for most of the degree programs and foundations in march and july ^^" Therefore the parking problem won't be going away anytime soon.The problem might be around for a long time but lets hope for those who are spending a few more years in Taylor's the problem would be resolved once phase 2 of the lakeside campus is done in 2012 ^^"

Yeah there's a major parking problem in lakeside now ^^"People actually have to drive all the way and park in PJ and take the shuttle bus to lakeside.The parking problem won't be solved anytime soon >.< After much complaining only they let people with green stickers park at lakeside together with red stickers making competition for parking even worst ^^" The lecturers and staff already took all the parkings under the academic block leaving only those parkings next to Block E for students use...The management told us by the time the commercial block is finished in July there will be approximately 600 more parking spaces so we don't have to worry..... but by then all the other programs would have moved here and add more than thousand students more in lakeside >.<

Which UniSA students are you talking about business or communication? ^^ If I'm not mistaken the new semester for the Business UniSA courses will be starting in lakeside this Tuesday not so sure about when communication will be moving there ^^" but hey it's pretty messed up now so we can only safely say by May most people would be in the lakeside campus probably during that break you mentioned they will do the move I don't see a better timing along those times. ^^

Sorry, was referring to the School of Communication. I just had orientation (which was disappointing, to say the least) for the UniSA CMM degree today. Apparently we're moving over in...July. That's quite a distance away from the initial plan - April. Hopefully the parking problem will be resolved by then, though honestly, I doubt it - I believe someone mentioned today that the student population is like, several thousand (with five digits) if I recall correctly.

This does not bode well. Making students park in LCS and then taking a bus to the lakeside campus is rather sad, honestly.

Also, the student handbook they distributed today contains...directions on how to wash your hands. WTF?

Hi there, Just wanna ask, I'm planning to take International Business and Marketing, but before that, I'm going for the Foundation first. I heard that dual degree for the course is University of West Ebgland, Bristol. Well, if I don't wanna study in UK, can I go to Australiaand study?

Yes you may credit transfer to Australia using Taylor's-UWE IB and Marketing dual degree as long as you meet the other universities entry requirements but by doing so you won't get a Taylor's or UWE Degree.If you do IB and Marketing in Taylor's then go transfer to UWE you would still get a UWE degree + a degree from Taylor's but not if you to other universities.If you are planning to go to Australia I would recommend you to go for Taylor's UniSA twinning for Marketing.It would be easier to transfer to Australia with that course.You can go transfer to UniSA anytime as long as you have passed 4 subjects while you were in Taylor's.By getting a GPA of 4 out of 7 you can transfer to any other business course when you transfer to UniSA in Adelaide while if you are just transferring over to Adelaide and not changing you course there is no minimum GPA needed just that you have passed four courses ^^ Of course if your GPA is very low maybe below 3.5 the program director will send you a letter to ask are you sure about transferring over to Adelaide since your not scoring in Malaysia so you might want to think about transferring to Adelaide but if you want to do it they won't stop you just they will ask if your really sure.Of course that is assuming if you get low marks,you might be a top scorer who always score full marks for all I know ^^. the Taylor's UniSA program also have articulation agreements to University of Western Australia (UWA) ,Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), University of Technology, Sydney(UTS) and University of Queensland (UQ) for 1+2 arrangements.Transferring over to Australia is easier through the UniSA program than the Taylor's-UWE dual degree program.

Hum if you did your pre-u in Denmark I can't really help much there since I know practically nothing about it ^^" The best idea would be for you to e-mail Taylor's at
admissions@taylors.edu.my
and ask them whether they accept your pre-u and also the fees. ^^ I never saw them put anything besides the brochure on the course in Student Central so I never got to know the fees ^^" so better email them so they can send it to you and ask them further questions ^^

hum added the Diploma program.Not sure but if I'm not mistaken the whole division should be moving to lakeside.I took the list of courses from the TUC 2010 student handbook maybe the people who did the handbook forgot to include the diploma programs for the division ^^"
The whole TCPJ should be moving by June/July.

-UKRIDA, Jakarta, Indonesia
-Charles University in Prague,First Faculty of Medicine Czech Republic

and they have added two more
-Charles University, Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic

You don't pay in one shot for any course ^^" All payments are according to semester and must be payed latest on the commencement date of that semester ^^ I'm not sure how long but once you are late for a certain time they will start charging you late fees and after a certain time they will bar you from classes ^^"

Yeah most likely you will start in the PJ campus for about 2 or 3 months then only the division will move over to lakeside since the facilities are not fully complete yet over in lakeside to house all the divisions ^^

About the requirements there will be a few scenarios.
1.They won't accept you.If this happens I would recommend you to go for SAM/CAL/ICPU.
2.If you don't satisfy for English they might ask you to take an English bridging course before they allow you to enter the program.
3.First they will bring it up to the program director.From there he/she will decide whether to accept you or not.If he/she decide to accept you,it mostly will be with a condition that you achieve a certain mark for your exam that she/he have set.

Taylor's Open Day will be soon ^^ Go there,bring your results and see the lecturers and program director yourself ^^ a lot easier to discuss your options like that ^^

From what I heard during my degree orientation thingmajig, the School of Communication is only moving to the lakeside campus in July (several months behind April as initially suggested). I'd assume everything else in LCS are gonna be moving around the same time, too.

Also, fresh from the Student Portal:

QUOTE(Noor Hani Zainol Rashid)

There have been concerns about the insufficient parking spaces at Lakeside for students. We wish to assure you that the Management has taken note of these concerns.

Dear Students @ Lakeside,

There have been concerns about the insufficient parking spaces at Lakeside for students and we wish to assure you that the Management has taken note of these concerns.  Since the move into Lakeside Campus in January 2010, an additional 200 parking spaces have been created. There is also an ongoing clearing of land beside the campus to create another 200 parking lots and this is scheduled to complete before 22 March 2010. Once again we encourage students to consider alternatives such as the below services provided by Taylor’s at no costs to the students: 
1. Frequent shuttle services from places such as the Taylor’s Hostels, LCS, Subang Jaya and KTM Stations. Please refer to the attached shuttle service schedule for more information.
2. Free parking space at the parking lot opposite the Media Hub at LCS. Students can park their car there and take a shuttle bus to Lakeside.


I didn't know the parking lot opposite the Media Hub was free.

Yeah from what I heard from the staff all the programs that are left in LCS will be moving quite late.They will move ranging from April and latest July.Most likely they will move programs when those programs are having holidays so most likely after semester exams or mid semester exams maybe

If I'm not wrong the system works about the same as the lakeside parking.It's free until July but you need to register and get the car sticker first to park there ^^

You can try the MPSJ hall near the pasar.

If you want to play basketball you can try the court in the playground in front Subang Square where ADP is.
You can play football or any other field sport in the field in ss15 near the housing area,across KFC.

For badminton I know there's a court in SS17 across the road from SS15.It's in Jaya Square the same building with Neway Karaoke.
Look at the map in the link below for where the building is located
http://www.newaykb.com.my/outlets-location...ge=outlets&id=4

Jaya Square (Ritz Badminton Court)
Weekdays (daytime) : RM10 per hour
Weekdays (evening) : RM40 for 2.5 hours (6pm to 8:30pm & 8:30pm to 11pm)
Weekend (daytime) : RM15 per hour
Weekend (evening) : RM40 for 2.5 hours (6pm to 8:30pm & 8:30pm to 11pm)

Contact No. : 03-5637 8400

This is very old price I took from some other forum ^^" Not sure if the price has increased.Last time I went to play there last year my friend payed for us and I only paid for drinks so was not sure about the price XD

For other sports I'm not so sure.You can go to the Lakeside Campus to play there I guess if it's already complete XD
Or you can go to the ECA center in front the Subang Campus and ask Shirley or Elaine over there ^^ if I'm not mistaken there was a list of sport facilities that Taylor's have booked on certain days.

Hi there, I hope some of you here can clear my doubt..

There's an April intake for Diploma in Hotel Management course. May I know if this is an 'express intake'? As in the students have to catch up with those in the Jan intake. Or it is a completely new, independent intake like the one in July? Because I heard the March/April intakes are usually for those who went for NS and couldn't join the Jan intake..

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, all intakes of Diploma and Foundation programs are independent new intakes.The "express intake" only applies to pre-u programs like CAL,SAM and ICPU.This is because those pre-u programs have already been set by their external bodies when their major exams will be therefore can not be a new intake since everyone has to take the exams at the same time.This is a different case for Diploma and Foundation programs where exam dates and exam papers are set by the Lecturers in Taylor's and maybe for TCHT programs are moderated by the France Ministry of Education.

Taylor’s University College Voted Most Popular in Malaysia!


For the second time in a row, Taylor’s University College has been voted the “Most Popular Private College/University in Malaysia” in 2009, beating out more than 100 other institutions. The announcement was made at the “Doctorjob’s Students’ Choice Awards” recently.

This year’s win was even sweeter for Taylor’s as they also emerged the top institution of choice for Business/Accounting/Management, Hospitality & Tourism, Law and Pre-University Studies, sweeping four of ten subject awards that were given away. Taylor’s was also voted first-runner-up for their engineering programme.

The results were based on the Malaysian Student Survey 2009 conducted by Guelph Turfgrass Institute(GTI) and trendence, Europe’s leading consultancy on employer branding and recruitment research. The survey was participated by close to 9,000 respondents aged between 16 to 19 years. Every year, an award ceremony is held to acknowledge and award private institutions of higher education across the country.

“The aim of the Malaysian Student Survey is to obtain as comprehensive a picture as possible of the preferences and priorities of students in Malaysia coming to the conclusion of their schooling,” explained Michele Lam, Publishing Director of GTI.

“With more than 40 years of experience in establishing a solid ground for meeting education needs, it is hardly surprising that Taylor’s is the most popular tertiary institution amongst Malaysian students,” said Professor Dato’ Dr. Hassan Said, Vice Chancellor and President of Taylor’s University College.

“Taylor’s is also always ahead with the current requirements of the market, designing its course structures in a way that could best prepare the students to face the realities of the world. By providing hands-on classroom experience and a dynamic student environment, Taylor’s not only addresses the theoretical aspect, but more importantly the ‘real world’ elements that set ‘Taylorians’ apart from the rest,” he added.

Other results of the Doctorjob survey indicated that UK and Australia remain popular destinations for overseas studies, with UK as the destination of choice for the study of technical subjects such as engineering and ICT.
Taylor’s partnership with top universities from the United Kingdom, Australia and France has encouraged an exchange of expertise that helps Taylor’s keep on par with global industry standards. In 2009, Taylor’s University College was also awarded the Brand Excellence Award (Services) under Category II by the Ministry of International Trade & Industry Malaysia (MITI).

Taylor's voted most popular choice of Private College/University by students of Malaysia ^^

For march intake you will start at the PJ campus in Leisure Commerce Square.If I'm not mistaken the foundation in natural and built environment program will be in the PJ campus for about three months more and then around June or July the whole division will move over to the new Lakeside Campus =)

If you want to register for Taylor's programs it depends on which program you are looking for.For pre-university programs like Cambridge A-Levels(CAL),South Australian Matriculation(SAM),International Canadian Pre-U(ICPU) you go to Taylor's College Subang Jaya to apply or for CAL,SAM and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme(IB) you can also go to Taylor's College Sri Hartamas to register.For any other Foundation,Diploma and tertiary programs you go to Taylor's University College Lakeside Campus =)
You could also go to Taylor's Open Day on the 20th and 21st March to register and ask any questions to our counselors and lecturers and hear some talks =)

Go to the lakeside campus to register.Most admission staff have moved there now so registering there would be a much easier task.The best time to register right now is to come to the Taylor's Open Day this weekend at the lakeside campus =)
You get to look around the campus among other stuff.
You also get to hear some talks and there is a RM200 early bird discount provided you are not eligible for any other discounts,bursaries and scholarships if you register by this weekend.

We are currently in the midst of securing more land to be converted into carparks for students at Lakeside. One of the areas is scheduled to be ready by the 20th of March and the subsequent areas very soon after.

Our security guards will be assisting students as to where they are allowed to park their vehicles within the campus. You are right about getting to college early as our parking lots are base on a first-come-first serve basis. Most importantly, students ARE STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED to park at the roads or the housing area OUTSIDE the campus grounds.

In the event the carparks are totally full, students will have to park at the reserved open-air carpark opposite LCS and hop onto our free shuttle bus to Lakeside. Students with the green or red sticker will be entitled to free parking there. However, we are currently only issuing the stickers to students who are already attending classes at Lakeside. We will only begin to issue the stickers to students from LCS as soon as we have confirmation from the Management regarding the moving in dates. Once we are allowed to issue carpark stickers to students from LCS, we will post this information up on the Student Portal.


Also, something new up on the portal has something about two more outdoor parking lots being opened soon. I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

Pre-U programs mainly CAL,SAM,ICPU and IB are going to stay in Subang Jaya and Sri Hartamas Campus.
Mainly it's because of the location in Sri Hartamas resulting in higher utilities fees and everything for Taylor's in which resulting the students paying more.The facilities in the Sri Hartamas Campus are also significantly newer and a bit more modern than the Subang Jaya Campus and I would imagine they are giving more allowance to their staff who are teaching there in terms of transportation as some of them who may live away from Sri Hartamas now have to drive all the way there everyday.The only pre-u courses in Lakeside are Foundation Courses which belongs to Taylor's.All International Pre-U programs like SAM,ICPU,CAL and IB will remain in Taylor's College.

There is no building for pre-u in lakeside there and there won't be any according to any current plans by Taylor's.BTW the Subang Jaya campus is no longer the main campus as the Lakeside Campus is the only Taylor's University College now while the two school of pre-u are Taylor's College Subang Jaya and Taylor's College Sri Hartamas.Taylor's is targeting and planning to apply for full University status from MOHE by the completion of phase 2 of Lakeside in 2012 upgrading itself to Taylor's University.They have separated into two entities under the Taylor's Education Group being Taylor's College with all the international pre-university programs and Taylor's University College which houses all Taylor's Certificate,Foundation,Diploma and Degree program though there are still strong bonds between the two that it doesn't seem like it has separated into two entities =)

I'm myself is a Student Ambassador,Taylor's gave most of us scripted answers to several questions in a booklet for the last open days and campus days, there is an answer guide given to us if people were to ask us :

QUOTE(Student Ambassador Handbook)
What about Pre-U? Don't you have the course here in the lakeside campus?
No, the Lakeside Campus is for Tertiary Programs and Taylor's Foundation programs
Our Pre-U Programmes will still remain in Subang Jaya and Sri Hartamas.

Why?But the Campus is Huge.
We would like to maintain SS15 campus just for Pre-U courses (SAM,CAL,CPU). We are in the planning stages to expand and upgrade the facilities at SS15.Hence, all Taylor's campuses will have the same look and feel.

Any possibility of having Pre-U courses here in the future?
No.

Can the Pre-U students enjoy the facilities here in Lakeside?
Yes of course! In fact, there will be daily shuttle services that will ferry students from Subang Jaya to Lakeside Campus.
Those answers were quoted directly from the Student Ambassadors handbook given to us by Taylor's so as you can see where ever your friend got that piece of information he has been misinformed and there is no such building for sports though Taylor's has and is building 3 multipurpose courts,Tennis Court,Badminton Courts,Cricket Nets,Gym,Swimming pool,Dance Room and a Music Room.

The early bird discount of RM200 is if you register into Taylor's Programs by this week's open day.However if you are eligible for any other scholarship,grant or bursary, you won't be eligible for the early bird discount.In short it's only for those who register by this week's open day and is not eligible for any other type of discount or fee waiver.

Better call them directly rather than emailing them.Taylor's is a bit slow in replying emails.Where do you live in Sarawak? Taylor's has a Regional Office in Kuching, you can go there to inquire if you have any other questions or if you can't go there give them a call =)

Don't worry June intake has quite a large number of students like March intake as well though mostly the largest intake is usually the January intake.June is when all the JPA,MARA,Petronas,Bank Negara etc scholars will come in so you might get a class with a lot of really bright students in it ^^
Get involved with some activities around campus and you can get to know people from other intakes and programmes as well XD

lol ^^" well not literally a ferry as in the boat.It just means there will be a bus to transport students to the Lakeside campus if anybody from Subang Jaya needs to go there ^^

Here is the most updated bus schedule for inter-campus travel you can take a look ^^

I think it's decided on a case-to-case basis.

Most of the time, though, people tend to get better SPM results than their trial results.

Yeah you can register based on your trial results.If you did not get 5 credits in SPM but do achieved 3 credits,Taylor's will make you transfer to the Diploma in Business program or you might plead your case to the Program Director and it will be up to his discretion on what will happen to you.If however your results is lower than 3 credits making you not eligible for the Diploma program,you will be forced to leave Taylor's Business School.

Taylor's produced this scheme to reward students for getting their "friends" who never studied at Taylor's before to come and study in Taylor's.Therefore so that both YOU and I can benefit from this scheme,I would like to ask any of you guys or girls who are seriously considering to study in Taylor's or have confirmed that you will be studying in Taylor's but have yet to go inquire directly and register in Taylor's.I will share an amount of RM100(negotiable) with you from the rebate I will get through this scheme.

If you still have any questions regarding Taylor's that is giving you doubts on whether to study there or not,you may ask me so I can clear your doubt and help both me and you by participating in this program.I will try my best to assist you as much as you can in getting information from taylor's

For those who are interested leave a comment here or PM me your details namely your name and phone number so I can arrange a time where both of us are free for you to go register in Taylor's as I need to be present at all times of your inquires and registration as stated in the Terms of the Student-Get-Student scheme.

Preferably If your free we can do it during this weekend's open day at the lakeside campus and if you are not eligible for any other scholarship,grant or discount this weekend's open day would be the deadline for the Early Bird Discount of RM200 for new students but if you cannot attend this weekend's open day but will be registering contact me regardless as the student-get-student scheme is still in effect even during other times so I can arrange a meeting with you and your parents =)

This scheme is applicable for those who are going to register for :
Certificate Courses,
Diploma Course,
Foundation Courses,
Degree Courses,
ACCA Professional level as well if I'm not mistaken though the rebate is a lot less for ACCA Professional level.

Hope to hear from you prospective students cheers =)

Care to clarify your question a bit.I didn't quite get it ^^" I'm not so sure about exact price in for communication most foundations in Taylor's are about 19k before discount maybe I'l check on the exact price tomorrow during work.

well you could come early to get good parking ^^" My friends and I do a system where we take the most secluded area and double park each others cars so we conquered that whole hujung part XP and since it's at the end it doesn't affect anybody else though we're screwed when we forgot our friend that doubled parked our car finish class late ahaha ^^"

They are preparing parking at the other side you can park there when it's done to avoid the cow smell XD
Check the student portal for exact dates of completion of additional car parks ^^

Yeah once they finish the access route,commercial block etc in July, they will start charging for parking. What to do I think most of us will wait until they announce how much will they charge ^^ If we think it's outrageous I'm sure Taylor's will be receiving hoards of complains again just like the current situation when people keep complaining about availability of parking XD

I don't know whether this is significant or not since I don't know much about it but here is a quote from Taylor's for their School of Architecture,Building & Design.

QUOTE(Taylor's University College)
Congrats to School of Architecture,Building & Design for having its Bachelor of Quantity Surveying (Hons) prog. accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), a leading org. for professionals in property,land,construction & related environmental issues.With an accredited programme,students are a step ...nearer to be a Chartered QS.This is equivalent to having an int'l passport to work in 146 countries.

This is all BS and marketing strategy. Dont listen to them.
Bla bla bla bla. and Taylors still suck. The food i tell u Expensive, suck, little, tiny, useless, outrage, overprice anything u can think of.

Temptation woo i tell u.
The student, ya i know how they feel the stress. kesian them.

The Class room. ya impressive 8 floor of classroom, with so called air conditional or we call it Oven!
sometime it blow wind sometime it blow hot air! never will be cold!

The Table. for the 2nd week the "table Chair" starting to shaking and break apart.
not just that it really uncomfortable sitting at this kind chair and table.

Seriously This new campus, they need a redesign fail on planning and management!


Added on March 22, 2010, 11:40 pmBtw Hikari what course u taking currently?

Well accreditation is an important thing should congratulate them.

I do agree with you on the food part though.Most foods there are expensive and portions are not that much as well =.=
The economy rice there is not economy at all one plate of rice with one piece of small chicken they charge me RM5 haven't even taken any vegetables @_@
I liked it better when I was in TBS back in SS15.
Hopefully when the commercial block is done in July got cheaper and better shops @_@ One can always pray ahaha
Never tried eating at the student's restaurants except Temptations though.Heard had to book and don't even know how to ^^"
Only time I ever got food from those was when I was a student helper during the Preview Day last February took a lot of leftovers home LOL

Can't even drive to eat outside for fear of our parking being taken by others.This is how me and my friends park btw we double park each other at the corner there.GG if forgot our friend finish class late ahaha ^^"
all the eight cars at the corner there four in proper parking four double park ^^"

All my tutorials in the classrooms in block E has been quite ok up till now no ovens.But there was once the aircond in the lecture hall broke took half an hour of hot lecture before the maintenance staff came to fix the air conditioner @_@ and it's also extremely packed and hot in the lifts during lunch time and in the morning.Would sweat a bit before I reach the classrooms,lecture halls,student life center or library.

I'm currently in the University of South Australia twinning Bachelor of Management (Marketing) program.Going to transfer to another university in Australia after this semester and change to International Business course.

Are you a Culinary Art student? ^^

Hey guys, I actually asked about the Medicine course in Taylor's to the Dean for my sister who is currently doing SAM.Since I already got the information just decided to share it with you guys that might be interested ^^

QUOTE(Dr. Abd Rahman Noor)

Our next intake for Medical Degree Transfer Program will be in September this year and another one in January 2011. Applications may be submitted anytime using real or forecast results. Shortlisted candidates will be called for interview. All students offered to study Medicine will have to undergo medical check-up.

Our revised entry requirements are as follows; These requirements are for our partners in Charles University Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove in Czech and UKRIDA, Indonesia.

FYI, degrees from all partners of Taylor’s MDTP are recognized by Malaysian Medical Council. MDTP students from Taylor's University College will receive their medical degree from their respective partner medical schools just as any other graduates from that university.

Taylor's University College own School of Medicine is awaiting approval to run its own MBBS program to be started this September. We are fully staffed now and the anatomy lab is fully functioning now. The Multidisciplinary labs and the clinical skills suite are being furnished to be available for use by our students in June.

Tuition fees MDTP currently is RM118, 000 for 2 years.

The current tuition fees for St. George’s is – £27,455 per year (X 3 years)

For Czech is about €13000 per year. (X 4 years - the medical course in Czech is 6 years)

Yeah basicly you pay only half of the tuition fee.To get how much is that, you take the total fee and minus all the misc fees.50% of that amount would be the amount you get waived for foundation.According to my calculations the amount you have to pay for Foundation would be around RM11,900 compared to RM19,450 if there is no waiver. No need to attend to any interview.You just need to go and register within 14 working days as the SPM high achievers award is totally on your SPM result nothing else.

Well as of the current agreements between Taylor's University College and Welsh School of Pharmacy, Cardiff University,
Subject to seeking and securing approval from the relevant professional bodies,in Great Britain (the Royal Pharmaceutical Society at present, soon to be replaced by the General Pharmaceutical Council) and Malaysia (the state Malaysian Pharmacy Board). The first two years of the programme will be taught at Taylor's. The final two years will see students either remain in Malaysia and graduate with an award from Taylor's (Bachelor of Pharmacy, BPharm) or transfer to Wales and graduate with a Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) award from the University.

The BPharm students will follow a pathway based on the Cardiff programme but modified in the final two years to meet the requirements of the Malaysian Pharmacy Board.

The programs is still pending approval to start from MOHE.

since it is 50%. i just need to pay RM9726 for foundation. Mechanical engineering Rm26650 per year. So in 4 years, RM18655x4=RM74620. Total would be Rm84346. Still kinda expensive. What if i dont register within 14 working days? Because at the moment i am still waiting for a lot of scholarships though. And since they give me the SPM HIGH achiever, still got any chance they will give world class scholarship? Both from taylor sweat.gif

EDITED: Engineering courses at taylor are better than curtin? or curtin is better?

Lakeside Residence is not such a good idea for TCSJ .You won't have transport to go to class in the morning and priority there is given to people studying TUC programs rather TC programs and it's already almost full with bookings ^^" and furthermore Lakeside Residence won't be ready until July this year so you won't be able to stay there when you start CAL.
The most convenient place to stay while staying at TCSJ would be in MyPlace.If we were to ignore money you can take their Air conditioned Single Room which is good enough for me =) It's about a few hundred meters only from TCSJ and is surrounded by food,book and other kind of shops so it's very convenient.If you want a better apartment, then you should go for E-Tiara.It's about 10 minutes walk to TCSJ but there are shuttle bus to bring you there in the morning and such.E-Tiara is also quite close to Carefour, Subang Parade and the Subang Jaya KTM station.
You can read more on the features of E-Tiara and MyPlace here
http://www.taylors.edu.my/prosstudents/int...hp?id=97#subang
I don't really have pictures of them but I have been at the two a few times to do some stuff at my friend's houses.Pretty much both are quite ok though E-Tiara has higher numbers of International Students staying there compared to MyPlace which has more Local Students especially Tanzanians,Chinese Indonesians,China students,Pakistani,Koreans etc.

hum I'm not sure about that.You should ask Taylor's if you can still get the World Class Scholarship but I"m so sure because they did write this "Applicants should not be a recipient of any other scholarships, financial aid or award from any education institutions or organisations." for the eligibility but call them and ask about it who knows ^^".For the SPM High Achievers if you do not register within 14 working days, then Taylor's would assume that you have no interest for the Scholarship and offer that scholarship to somebody else.

On it's own Taylor's is still new in offering it's own TUC Degree for Engineering compared to Curtin which has had a long experience from the time they started in Australia.
Even though Taylor's is still new,their students have made considerable marks in the industry and for the second time in a row, Taylor’s University College has been voted the “Most Popular Private College/University in Malaysia” in 2009, beating out more than 100 other institutions. The announcement was made at the “Doctorjob’s Students’ Choice Awards” recently.

This year’s win was even sweeter for Taylor’s as they also emerged the top institution of choice for Business/Accounting/Management, Hospitality & Tourism, Law and Pre-University Studies, sweeping four of ten subject awards that were given away. Taylor’s was also voted first-runner-up for their engineering programme.

The results were based on the Malaysian Student Survey 2009 conducted by Graduates to Industry (GTI) and trendence, Europe’s leading consultancy on employer branding and recruitment research. The survey was participated by close to 9,000 respondents aged between 16 to 19 years.

Taylor's faculty of qualified and experienced staff comprises over 75% PhD lecturers. They come from an extensive repertoire of academic and industry backgrounds, thus creating a well-balanced reservoir of knowledge and experience for the students to tap into. Several of our faculty staff are also actively engaged in research and scholarly activities, which ensures continuous updates in their respective fields.
Taylor's are also proud of our teacher-student ratio of 1:15, which adheres to the international standards of the highest ranked academic institutions.

Taylor’s Engineering Programme is recognised by The Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) and Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). This is because the programme is accredited by the Engineering Council in the UK and is recognised by our local professional bodies.

Our Taylor’s Industrial Advisory Committee (TIAC), comprising senior management personnel from various engineering fields, meet regularly to help review our curriculum and ensure that our students’ learning outcomes are aligned with the industry’s needs and expectations of today’s engineering graduates.

The School has been accepted as an official collaborator in the CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) Initiative alongside great institutions, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California State University, the University of Sydney and University of Auckland. Taylor's is the first and only Malaysian institution that has, thus far, been accepted into this initiative, which is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.

and also
If students prefer to complete part of their degree overseas, they can opt for a 1+2 or 2+2 transfer programme with leading Australian and U.K. universities.
List of partner Universities Taylor's has Articulation Agreements with includes
United Kingdom
University of Bath
University of Birmingham
University of Portsmouth
University of Sheffield
University of Warwick
Australia
Australian National University
University of Western Australia

March intake is an express intake while June intake is treated as a normal intake.March intake is mostly people who had to go for NS and could not join the January intake.The march intake has longer learning hours in the earlier parts of CAL and a more hectic life so they can catch up to the January intake and take AS and A2 Level Exams at the same time as the January Intake.Also in June intakes there tend to be a lot of MARA,JPA,Petronas,Bank Negara etc scholars in it.

January and March intake sit for AS around November and sit for A2 around next year's June while June intake sit for AS around next year's June and A2 around November next year.

If I take CAL, and would like to do Computer Science degree in Taylors, do I need IELTS?

It depends on your GCE-O 1119.If it's a credit than there is no need for IELTS as the partner university RMIT recognizes it to fulfill their English Requirement.

Your going for June intake right?Don't worry April is still ok I think as most CAL A2 students will have their contracts expiring in June and there will be quite a number of rooms available in MyPlace for June intakes. =)

Hello, I'm a SPM leaver. I'm interested in TUC.
Just wondering.
It's worth if taking Foundation of Science for Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Taylor ? or is there any other University or College that is better in this.

And also, I heard Electrical and Electronic Engineering is hard. Really ?

Is it worth or not it is completely up to you.I don't know about whether it's hard or not ^^" Anything is hard just how you look at it and how hard you work for it =) The thing I heard about E&E is about the job prospects are not so wide rather than the course is hard or not.
Foundation is Science in Taylor's is good in a sense you can also still change to other fields if you don't want to go for Engineering after Foundation and also to other wide range of Universities Taylor's has partnerships with but rather than taking FIS I would recommend you to go for Pre-Us like CAL,SAM or CPU to have more open choices on where to go and scholarship opportunities after pre-u rather than limiting your choices with FIS.You could do your pre-u in Taylor's then only decide where to go as usually you would have a clearer vision after pre-u.

Taylor's is a new player in the field of engineering in terms of offering it's own Degree but if overall counting the years when they partnered Sheffield and Birmingham it has been about 13 years but still new when compared to other Universities.Most good points I can say about it are written here
so you can read about it there http://www.taylors.edu.my/courses/engineer...ding.php?id=103
You can also use the Degree as a stepping stone to transfer to the range of partner universities Taylor's have in UK and Australia through 2+2/1+2 pathways or complete the whole degree in Taylor's and get a Taylor's Degree.

I do have a lot of friends doing Engineering in Taylor's after SAM mostly but a lot of them also choose to go to more famous and reputable universities like Monash,Nottingham,Curtin etc which has campuses in Malaysia or they went overseas ^^".

I heard UNITEN is one of the best choices for an E&E degree locally.

Just a note on the job prospect thingy.

Ask yourself just how much do you want a job?
In any field you can get a job the only problem is you.

The prospectus you got is the 2009 prospectus right?From the last few events I don't see a 2010 prospectus for design yet ^^"
As of know there's only the three Diploma programs.According to the 2010 Student Handbook
this programs will start soon.
Taylor’s Design Degrees (July 2010)
- BA (Hons) Interactive Multimedia Design
- BA (Hons) Graphic Communication Design
- BA (Hons) Interior and Spatial Design

For foundation in design however it's in the list but I don't see a starting date.Probably they don't have enough students to start yet or still pending MQA and MOHE approval. Best bet is to give Taylor's a call or go there and ask the counselors yourself ^^

So it's been confirmed - the School of Communication is moving over to the lakeside campus in May.

Could anyone describe the current parking situation there? I heard they've opened up new spaces, but do people still double park (and trap people's cars)? Also, I heard it's recommended to come early to get a parking spot, but how early is early? I'm really worried. =S

well the parking situation has been improving though still bad and if you check the student portal they posted dates and areas of parking that will be opened soon.
But the situation is still quite bad.Last time early meant around 7:30 and after that you it's hard get parking.Now you can still come around 8:30 and maybe up until 9 and still get parking but with School of Computing moving in end of April and school of communication in May and I don't know when The Design School is moving.... I'd say I'm gonna have to assume the worst and go out really early again until they open up more parking in July....

You should probably call up relevant members of the society first. There might be recruitment ads stuck onto the notice boards around. But the 'official' registration is done on Student Central via the portal.

Either you register when they hold an event like the Orientation party or where they let clubs and societies open booths in the MPH or somewhere else or you can find contacts of the club and societies and tell them of your interest of joining the club.Some you can join immediately some like AIESEC you gotta go through some interviews.
If in Lakeside you go to the Student Life Center and find Ronson or Albert and you can ask them about it,they are the one in charge of clubs and societies in Lakeside got two more indian guys which I don't remember their name ^^" who are in charge of Sports Clubs.
If in TCSJ you go to the ECA center and see Elaine or Shirley ^^

SAM only has two intakes per year January and March since SACE is only held once at the end of a year.The June intake of SAM is a special intake only for JPA,MARA,Bank Negara,TM,Sime Darby etc scholars.

Whether you can still register or not for March intake I don't know.Usually they will accept one late applicants on a case by case basis until about one to two weeks after the course starts subject to availability of spaces,your results,the combo you want to take and all.But this is already quite late,if it was last weekend I know they still accept though your best shot is to go there first thing tomorrow morning and see if you can still enroll immediately any later than that your chances are very slim. But if they accept you,you won't be getting scholarships as those are usually due two weeks before the course starts.

For Foundation in Natural and Built Environments costs RM 19,028
and

Research which University you want to go to.To do medicine a lot of Universities would require you to do Biology.Some Universities doesn't need further maths to get into Engineering so look into that as well. IMO four subjects is already taxing 5 subjects is abit pushing it unless your really confident you can ^^"

lol most Universities/Colleges won't put their Fees on their websites.There's a few reasons for that.


anyway on a different note.

Any Taylor's Students who are looking for internship placements or are graduating soon and looking for full-time employment options or you just want to mingle around and ask questions you are all invited to Taylor's Career and Employment Fair 2010.
There will be a lot of Senior HR Managers present and we have been informed that certain companies will have their CEO coming because they are interested in Taylor's new Lakeside Campus so don't miss out on this chance. Below are the Logos of the companies that will be present on the day.

which hostel is better?
MY PLACE APARTMENT OR PANGSAPURI APARTMENT?
those two are the only ones that are near to Taylors Subang Jaya..

but I haven't got a chance to see it directly as I'm an international student.
So may I please ask for opinions regarding these two apartments.
like the facilities n stuff.

Thank you! smile.gif

Taylor's own Engineering programs is still and that is one of the reasons why it is not yet accredited by BEM.It only started after Taylor's gained University College status in 2006 which they stooped their twinning program around that time and started their own degree.
We do have MQA accreditation and even though is not yet accredited is recognized by EAC and BEM.
We have provisional recognition and is confident that once all the requirements for accreditation are there to be evaluated we will get the full accreditation.
But generally Taylor's Engineering programs are quite good and the syllabus closely follows that of their partner university, University of Birmingham and the University of Sheffield though a few years back after gaining University College status Taylor's started to offer their own degree while still allowing students to transfer to their partner universities now through articulation agreements =)
75% of their lecturers are PhD holders and they have even been given approval by MOHE and MQA and have started their own PhD in Engineering program recently ^^
Our Taylor’s Industrial Advisory Committee (TIAC), comprising senior management personnel from various engineering fields, meet regularly to help review our curriculum and ensure that our students’ learning outcomes are aligned with the industry’s needs and expectations of today’s engineering graduates.
The School has been accepted as an official collaborator in the CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) Initiative alongside great institutions, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California State University, the University of Sydney and University of Auckland. Taylor's is the first and only Malaysian institution that has, thus far, been accepted into this initiative, which is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.
Taylor's has also gotten the 1st runner up among private colleges for the popularity of their engineering course and 1st overall for the year 2009 in a recent survey.
Anyway BEM recognition is not really that important right now unless you want to work with government related companies,you want the Ir. title or it's civil engineering. ^^

Well pretty much both of them are same in terms of facilities.
My Place is nearer to go to the main TCSJ where CAL and SAM would be at while Pangsapuri would be closer to the previous TBS building where CPU is now located.But both is actually close enough that you can ignore those factor.It only comes in handy when you got to rush back home or to class for something just 1 or 2 minutes difference ahaha XD
Well in my opinion MyPlace's location is a bit more convenient as it is surrounded by shops rather than Pangsapuri which is surrounded by houses.
So people being lazy it's easier to get to some shops especially at night or something there's a few shops nearer to MyPlace where there might be people around the shop lots rather than walking through the roads alone at night even if it is just three,four minutes walk away.
MyPlace is also conveniently located next to the famous Asia Cafe.It's basicly a food court with a very wide variety of choices and it's closer to banks too ^^
Both are quite close to TCSJ and facilities wise both is about the same but MyPlace in my opinion has a bit more convenient location ^^

well not exactly a new building. The building CPU is in right now was previously Taylor's Business School and since TBS has moved to the new Lakeside Campus CPU is the one that uses the building now ^^
It's just about two minutes walking distance from the main TCSJ next to Subang Square and surrounded by shops.

You want comp science or business? I saw you asking about business in the Sunway thread.

Anyway assuming you get 8 subject exemptions the full tuition + misc for two years in Taylor's RMIT Comp Science would be around RM46,020

There's no long sem or short sem in the programme since it follows RMIT or the Australian system in general. There will be 2 sems each year and each semester you will be doing 4 subjects.Assuming you get the 8 subject exemptions which is worth 2 semesters or 1 year this would be your pattern
1st sem: July to November
2nd sem: March to June
3rd sem: August to November
4th sem: March to June

First sem tuition + misc fees is RM12,330 since it includes registration fee and a refundable security deposit.Your next semesters will each cost RM11,230 respectively.

Well if that happens and everybody decides to leave, leaving such a small number in your class than I think you guys might get shuffled into other classes but I never heard of people leaving until the number drops to the point of that happening before ^^"

The student-get-student scheme in Taylor's is not that much about RM300.So if you are ever interested to go inquire or register at Taylor's be sure to contact me if your interested then we can share it since to get that scheme I need to be present at your first point of contact with Taylor's =)

I'm also quite intersted in Comp Sci -> SE. I should be entering for July intake.

1. The thing I'm concerned here is about a friend of mine. The both of us are taking A-levels and it ends in June. His results is not that good and since he only takes 3 subjects, what is the chances of entering Comp Science if he fails chemistry and obtain reasonable results for the other two subjects?

2. The next thing I would like to know is whether continuing students from Taylors could get a discount?

3. Is 1119 Sufficient as a requirement for Computer Science?

4. If you would compare, is there any differences between studying in Taylors and MMU? I know Taylors do have some benefits in terms of better possibility to do twinning programs with RMIT, but I'm quite concerned of the cost.

5. Regarding the RM 300 thingy, has anyone tried like continuing from Taylors Pre-U to Taylors Uni? Will that work?

I understand that this questions should be directed to the student councelor, but I guess the school of computing has yet to shifted over to Lakeside and I find you quite knowledgable (Hikari0307).

Thank you in advanced.

1)for this question I'm not really sure, I'l answer to the best of my knowledge but you better go to student central and ask a counselor to confirm.
As far as I know Australian Universities convert A-Level grades into points like maybe A=5,B=4,C=3 and so on.So if you reach the necessary points with two subjects and most importantly the pre-requisite subject in this case math must have acquired the required grade then it would be no problem though the part that make me wonder would they accept with one fail even in the other two are enough since some would want at least the three subjects to be at least a pass though some would just require you meet the necessary points.

2) Taylor's continuing students automatically gets a 10% tuition fee waiver.If you scored well you could apply for the scholarships available like the Tertiary Merit Scholarship and such

3) RMIT recognizes a credit in GCE-O 1119 as passing their English requirement so Taylor's should accept it as well for their twinning with RMIT and from what I have seen in other faculties they do accept 1119 though I never seen people registering for Taylor's RMIT twinning before but they should be the same.

4) I won't comment on studying in MMU since I know little about them but in Taylor's the main benefit are the facilities,the services and the environment.
Well since your a Taylor's student I don't think I need to elaborate further on the many services and facilities Taylor's provides to their students especially all the new facilities in Lakeside.You should take a shuttle bus to go look around the campus sometimes though phase 1 is not entirely done yet, it's scheduled to finish by July and Phase 2 by 2012.
Taking part in the ECA activities is one of the most fun stuff in Taylor's XD
The most obvious good thing is of course the chance for you to transfer to Software Engineering in RMIT through the Computer Science degree but if you are unable to do so hey your still in RMIT's Computer Science program all your transcripts and Degree comes from RMIT. Tt's cheap considering what you get by just staying here in Malaysia compared to going to Australia =)
In Taylor's RMIT programme you will also occasionally have guest Lecturers coming from RMIT to teach in Taylor's for a semester or so.So you would have the ability to learn from RMIT lecturers even in Malaysia.The courses follow the same syllabus as in RMIT University and are taught to the same high standards. RMIT University is involved in the monitoring of examinations as well as assessing the quality of teaching and learning.
and also The School has set up its very own research unit, SIM@RUN (Systems-Information Management-Multimedia Research Unit), which overseas research and industry collaboration related activities. The research unit has two arms in Consulting & Training and Research & Development.
Taylor's also continuously improve their programme through their Industry Advisory Panel (IAP) that helps to develop and review their curriculum on a regular basis. The IAP members include: AMD, Basis Bay, Dell, DHL, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, MDEC, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, SAP and Siemens so you can be assured that the programme caters to the needs of the industry so you will be work ready when you graduate ^^
You should come to lakeside to see the library and the facilities provided to the students.There are about 20 computer labs plus 4 Mac Labs,Multimedia labs with PIV hyperthread workstations,Dedicated LINUX and Oracle server,Multimedia incubator with video and sound editing feature and a lot of other cool stuff there.
Another benefit is the chance you get to mingle with people from all the other courses in Taylor's, getting to meet people not only from all over Malaysia but also a lot of international students and people from all sorts of programmes. (make some friends with cullinary arts students is good to XP )
and there's also the career and development center in Taylor's which would assist you greatly in finding places for internships and such during your studies or maybe assist you in finding a job when you are graduating.They also provide a lot of workshops like resume,resume clinics,career and employment fairs where a lot of major companies along with their senior HR managers will be present like the one happening in Lakeside this friday,interview skill,leadership development and so on which some students neglect and some stuff like writing a resume might seem insignificant to some and they think they can write a good enough but even people who have jobs nowadays don't know how to write a proper resume and that is a big turn off.
Well forgive me if there's anything wrong up there's I'm lazy to re read those stuff since it's too long ahaha anyway if you got any questions your free to ask me ^^

5) Regarding the student-get-student scheme there is one line in the terms and conditions that says the student introduced must have not studied in Taylor's College or Taylor's University College before so if you introduced a student who did their pre-u in Taylor's into a Taylor's programme it doesn't count.

oh yeah for your information the school of computing will be moving to lakeside next week =)

hum it's quite nice in my opinion especially when the commercial block is done there will be lots of shops just underneath the hostels and the library and classes just across the lake ^^ but it would hurt my pocket ^^" if your ok with the price go ahead though it would only be complete by July.

1) The full Tuition + Misc fees for the TUC-UWE Dual Degree International Business and Marketing programme for 3 years in Taylor's would be around RM78,380.

2)Accommodation is a bit expensive in my opinion though the service and location is good ^^
Go to this url here
http://www.taylors.edu.my/prosstudents/int_landing.php?id=97
and download the application forms the type of rooms available and price are in there if I'm not mistaken.
though if you want you can rent a room somewhere around the houses in SS15 where there are cheaper options and take the shuttle bus to Uni everyday a lot of my friends do that ^^"

For food in the stores that are available in Lakeside there is actually a range price for the foods there from cheap to the very expensive so depends on what you want to eat XD
When the commercial block is completed around July this year there will be a lot more choices of food and not to mention other shops available to students right from cafes, fast food, noodle house to specialty restaurants, there will also be other shops like stationary shops,computer shop etc when it is completed so you don't need to worry about that just worry about the accommodation.Either way if you choose to live in lakeside or in SS15 you will gave a good choice of food later on (right now there is still very limited choices in lakeside) with affordable to expensive price ranges so don't worry about that.If you decide to live in SS15 there is even far greater choices of cheap affordable food XD

If your lucky to be able to book a place in the student run restaurants maybe you will be able to eat great five star hotel level food sometimes at a great affordable price though it's very hard to get a reservation XD

3)I'm not quite sure since I'm not very familiar with PTPTN but if I'm not mistaken you can't apply for it if you already got any other scholarship,financial aid etc ^^" though I could be wrong you better consult a counselor on that ^^"

well not really hostels but there's a lot of good rooms or houses for rent all over SS15 =)
just go there and walk around the area and you will surely see some advertisement for rooms ^^
though it might be hard for you ^^"
other than agents helping you out going there yourself is the best way to find an ok affordable room

except for parking which is crowded yeah ahaha it's quite spacious though last week was the first time I've seen so many students in one place when they announced on the p.a. system for everybody to leave a building but then said it was a false alarm due to some technical problem LOL made me realize how spread out we were in the campus ahaha ^^"
Can't wait for the commercial block to be finished in July and maybe I'l come back to look around when phase 2 of lakeside is finished at the empty patch of land next to it in 2012 would have already left Taylor's by then XD

lol be more specific next time ^^"
yup TUC Lakeside doesn't have any pre-u courses just Foundation,Diploma and Degree courses.
for TCSH I don't know if they have a gym since I've never been there ^^"
for TCSJ there's a mini gym inside the ECA center and yes it's free. The equipment can be considered good and well maintained considering it's quite old and used a lot though there's just like one of each basic stuff ^^" oh yeah there's a dance room and table tennis table as well.

The Hartamas campus offers those general pre-U courses as well (A-Levels, SAM, etc.). Fancy high-class place.

Anyways, I heard that the parking lots were pretty bad even during the break last week. This does not bode well.

I've already gotten the red parking sticker, so does that mean I can park at any (non-reserved, if there are even any) parking spot there? I'm not even sure how early I should arrive to get a good spot. Is double-parking still an issue?

Yeah Hartamas and Subang both only offers pre-u programmes.TCSJ has CAL,SAM & CPU and ADP currently before ADP moves to TCPJ while TCSH has CAL,SAM and IBDP.
TCSH is more expensive than TCSJ fees and location wise ^^"

oh yeah fyi for those of you who aren't aware TCSJ & TCSH and TUC Lakeside are considered different entities under the Taylor's Education Group starting from early this year when TUC Subang was changed to TCSJ and TUC being only lakeside, though their students can use each others facilities, this is especially important to take note if your writing a proposal to Taylor's ^^ as the systems for TC and TUC has kinda changed this year.
Subang and Hartamas are Taylor's College like the original Taylor's offering only pre-university courses while Taylor's University College (Lakeside) offers Foundation,Diploma and Degree Courses and if everything goes as planed during the site visits and evaluation process among other things by MOHE after phase 1 of Lakeside is done this July Taylor's University College (Lakeside) will be awarded full University status into Taylor's University by the end of this year or early next year.

the parking lots was quite good actually for the past few weeks since a few schools was on holidays and such but the condition is going to be bad this week, last week new intakes of Diploma programmes started, some schools from TCPJ are moving over and schools that was having short breaks like UniSA are returning so you can expect no parking if you were to come any other time than early ^^"

yes you can park at any of the parking you have a wide choice if your early ^^" other than the covered parking for staff or the parking for guests VIPs and such. Double parking is always an issue though if you want to do that legally you have to leave your phone number there on a piece of paper so the car owner can call you. Most people double park friends with agreements with each other though there are still some inconsiderate people out there. Don't park at places like the roads near the entrance and such where you can't park, I saw some cars getting clamped the other day ^^"
and be careful where you park your car there has been a good number of accidents where some of my friends find their car damaged when they were going to go back ^^"

There are no hostel in Sri Hartamas. In fact, Sri Hartamas is really expensive if you want to rent a house here.

Oh, the food here are really limited, so you really have to bear with it for 1.5 years smile.gif. The food is on average, still possible to fill a stomache of an average male, but definitely not for those who eat a lot. RM 7-8 is the average money you will spend on acceptable food each day without drinks of course smile.gif.

Conclusion is choose Subang Jaya XD
There's a few choices of Taylor's owned Appartments, a lot of houses or rooms to rent , near to so places like Sunway Pyramid,Carefour Subang,Subang Parade,Empire Shopping Complex and way more food choices from the very cheap to the very expensive ahaha XD
and it's also quite close to and have shuttle buses to Taylor's University College so you can go there and use the new facilities as well XD

i-xcess is the WiFi's name ^^ It covers almost the whole Lakeside Campus.It's not exactly free it comes with all the fees you paid ahaha XD
but generally speaking yeah it's free ^^ Just connect than open a browser and it'll ask for your Student ID and Password, the ones you use to access the computers in the computer labs and your all set to go ^^

Any idea how the parking will work and the cost once they start charging people?

So far parking in Lakeside is still free until June. July onwards, they will start charging. Though, they are in still the midst of discussion on the amount of fees that will be charged to the students. Basically, now you will need to register for a parking sticker from the student central in Taylor's lakeside campus. You should receive either a red or a green sticker. This will permits you to park in the campus itself. I'm glad to say that they have expand the parking spaces especially for the students that will be shifting to lakeside soon.

Unfortunately, Taylor's currently do not offer Nutrition. Though, Taylor's do offer Biotechnology and Biomedical. However, Taylor's University partner, University of Queensland in Australia do offer Bachelor of Exercise & Nutritional Science/ Bachelor of Applied Food Science (Food science and Nutrition)/ Bachelor of Science. You are able to further your studies with either one of the choices as stated in prior after the completion of at least 1 year of Biomedical Science in Taylor's. Following after that, if you are interested in studying Masters, UQ do offer Master of Dietetic Studies for 1.5 years in Australia.

Whoa, I was under the impression that you had to subscribe seperately if you wanted to use I-Xcess. dry.gif

Anyways, how was the parking like for this week since all the other faculties move in? I'm still on break for now, but I'll be moving in on Monday. I heard that once they start charging for parking, it's RM60/month for staff, by the way. It's just a rumour.

Also Hikari, do you work part-time for Taylor's or something? dry.gif

ahaha stuff like i-xcess is accessible to all students, no need to subscribe separately for that generally speaking it's free ahaha ^^ what gave you the impression you had to subscribe separately? Last time in your campus didn't have i-xcess?

Parking still same old same old ^^" if you come really early still manageable but chances are kinda slim if you come late a bit.
Parking is can be considered ok by standards of seeing the large amount of parking available though it is not nearly enough to accommodate all students but if you come early you should get parking though might have to walk a bit. From what I seen there's always parking at the other side at the furthermost parts next to the uncompleted commercial block just no one wants to park there and walk so far to the academic blocks ahaha XD
since they can't walk through the commercial block yet have to go kinda circle the lake lol.
The main problem nowadays for me is not the parking, but the jams in the morning has made a turn for the worst >.< it's damn slow practically not moving took some time to get into the lakeside from the road >.< and for some reason this week, I didn't see any guards controlling traffic at the junction, usually there will be a few taking care of the traffic there but I don't see any this week, I wonder what happened. Anyway nobody controlling traffic made the situation worst >.< Can't wait for the new access route to be finished in July.

They will certainly charge for parking after Phase 1 of lakeside is complete by July but the rates and all is still not confirmed.
Just would like to inform that we have forwarded most of the complains about Lakeside that we have accumulated ever since the move since January up till now directly to TUC's President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Dato’ Dr. Hassan through some of my friends who are excos of the TUC Student Council.
He told us that all these issues has indeed reached him and discussions are happening between the top level Management of the Taylor's Education Group and also professionals from the outside very frequently to solve these problems and yes he is aware we are tired of waiting but these decisions can not be rushed and the ones they already have requires time to finish ( the commercial block for example which will increase parking about 600 more lots and way more options for food right from cafes, fast food, noodle house to specialty restaurants, when it is completed and also stuff like stationary shops and such will only be complete by July) so he asked us to be patient as they are working really hard to solve these stuff.

The only complaints that are not being taken so much into consideration are smokers complaining about the no smoking rule in lakeside, they want at least a smoking room or something like that. Personally I don't care at all about this complaints XP I'd rather them have to go out to smoke and action taken on those smoking on campus, there's a lot of better things to do in lakeside than a smoking room XP and the management doesn't seem to care about this complain much as well since they got a lot of other more important stuff to do and solve ^^

hum I do work with Taylor's sometimes, mostly I work for them during Events like Open Days, also in events like New intakes orientations,Career and employment fair, launch of the new Taylor's PhD programmes and stuff like that ^^
Kinda like to help out bits here and there as well.

Hi TS. I recently graduated from Taylor's Business School on December 2009 and now working overseas but still haven't get my official academic transcript and completion letter. Can you do me favor to ask for Business Division's phone number or email? I need to request for my academic transcript and completion letter since my company required me to give them some prove that I finished my degree course. Thanks and your help is so much appreciated. smile.gif

Thanks for the detailed reply, Hikari. ;p

So if I come early and get a spot, should I still expect to be double-parked over (with contact details provided, of course)?

well mostly you won't get double parked, it haven't happened to any of my friends for quite some time now, it happens less than it does previously since there's more parking though I do see some cars double parked once in a while, though that only happens in certain spots, get a good spot and you won't be double parked ^^

well nowadays I always arrive at that area around 7:40 or so since I have to send my sister who's in TCSJ first and usually around that time that place is already kinda jammed but still manageable but for some reason I don't know last week there was no guards controlling the traffic at the junction, last time there was once when my mum needed the car and my parents sent me I had to get off the car and started walking because the car was not moving much and I was already late for class >.< traffic moves very slowly into the place.

lol anywhere also got scholarship holder ^^"
there's excellent students with all High Distinction results and also students with all barely pass results in it.Stay with those with good results, your target in Uni is not to fail ma XD
Most TUC-UWE Dual Degree students are self paying students.
Nothing is easy in this world XD
You should know Business Administration is no longer having January and September intake like last time.
It has been changed to a Dual Degree programme between TUC and UWE, at the end of it you will get two degrees one from Taylor's and one from UWE and the intakes are now February and July.

Well the new Dual Degree programme just started last February therefore the first batch haven't even had their first semester exam yet XD
But the exam and all should be challenging and have the same standards as the UWE. Since nobody has repeated any exams yet therefore I got nobody to ask about that ^^" But try not to repeat anything ^^" At least get a pass if you can't score good results.

Just had my first day at the Lakeside Campus, and things are pretty bad IMO:

7:20 a.m. - jam's pretty bad on the LDP leading in to the turning into the housing estate:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


There's a pretty bad jam going all the way in, and there's even a trail of vehicles waiting to get out from the housing estates:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Apparently much of the jam is caused by this T-junction. It's really busy, even though it doesn't look that way in this picture. It's difficult for people to move out given all the traffic, and it doesn't help that some people don't use the signal when turning:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Around 7:40 a.m. - a large portion of the parking lots just south of Block E are taken up. I don't know why, but there's one lot nearest to the building that they keep empty. I thought the staff had reserved parking under the building. Most of the parking was limited to the stony bit of land without any tarmac. The guards directed me to a tight squeeze between two MPVs (not shown here):
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


In the lots closer to Block E that actually have tarmac and marked spots, the double-parking has already begun:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Overview of the Block E South parking lot at 2:30 p.m.:

I don't know why, but the campus seriously feels like an overcrowded shopping mall.

Where are the PCs in the library, and are there any other computers/printers that may be used elsewhere? dry.gif

as my friend said that's uni life a place where your surrounded by tons of unknown people ahaha
ahaha I told you the jams are damn bad XD hopefully when the alternative access route is finished in July it'll get better.
Seems today they took a some of our parking to accommodate the lecturers and staff coming from LCS, I have a fever today so was not there but that's what my friend posted on fb this morning lol seems it's true from what you've shown.Seems a lot of people are outraged by that @_@ time for more complains XD

The PCs in the Library are on the third floor. Go to the left most side of the library, there's two printers there and if I'm not mistaken two more printers on the fourth floor.

Also there's about 20 more computer labs plus three more mac labs and some more printers on the 7th and 8th floor of Block C and D.The IT help desk is on the 7th floor block D =)

Thanks, I've already found the place. In fact, I'm in one of the PC rooms in the library right now. ;D

I was a bit later this morning and the jam was even worse.

But despite my lateness, there seems to be ample parking space on the untarred southern end of the parking lot south of Block E.

For the tertiary merit scholarship after applying you will be called for an interview for those applying for 50% and 100% scholarship. For 30% no interview required ^^

depends on how you define operational XD
To speak generally it's been operational since last January though there's still a number of problems ^^
But generally facilities for Hospitality and Tourism were the first to be completed so facilities for the programme is fully operational. You may not like other stuff like Parking though XD

you are interested to enter which course? Certificate? Diploma? Advanced Diploma? Bachelor Degree? Masters? PhD?
how to tell you the fees without knowing which course ^^"

*
yes as long as you are a Bumiputera* and is not receiving any other Scholarship, you just need to fill in the form and 99.999999% you will get the 30% deduction from your tuition fees.The requirement is just that you are a Bumiputera* and you meet the minimum entry requirement to the Course =) You can also apply for the 0% interest MARA study loan together with the grant which is as long as your CGPA is above 2.00 you pay only 50% back and the better you score even more less you pay back and if it goes above 3.5 the loan is converted to a full scholarsip though the quota for MARA study loan for TUC is already full this year.You can enroll and try early next year for the loan though =) The Bumiputera Study Grant on the other hand is available anytime and has no limit so almost every Bumiputera in the courses it is offered for in Taylor's receives it other than those who have a higher scholarship. ^^

*The term Bumiputera is as such defined by the Federal Constitution Article 60(2), Article 161A(6)(a) + (6)(b), Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954 (Act 134) and other related Government agencies.

Click on the spoiler below for list of programmes which are covered by the grant.

You apply for the loan next January halfway through foundation.If you wait until you finish TBF the quota might be full again.The number of places changes every year though according to the budget that MARA has.
Oh yeah and the BA Accounting and Finance doesn't have a July intake.Nearest intake if you take the July intake of TBF would be next year's October rather than July, all other TUC-UWE Dual Degree programme and UniSA programme has July intakes though.

Full Tuition + Misc Fees for TBF is RM19,472.
After the 30% Bumiputera Study Grant on tuition fees I estimate the fees would be around RM14,936

3+0 Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Accounting and Finance would be RM79,100
after the Study Grant I estimate the full tuition fees + misc fees would be around RM59,444

Score well in TBF and you can get some better scholarships like the tertiary merit scholarship or stuff,world class scholarship etc =)
also if I'm not mistaken Taylor's continuing students automatically gets a 10% tuition fee waiver when they continue from Foundation/Diploma/Pre-U to Taylor's tertiary programmes.

well if I'm not mistaken it's not really based on academic results though there is a minimum.It's more on a first come first serve and also needy basis got to talk to a counselor more to know about this.So the ones who are fast and also financially needs the loan will get through easier for approval.Though payment pf the loan is based on your academic results XD

I think so and seems like the one in ss15 closed already.A few months back I saw a few foreigners taking English Classes gather at one point where they put a sign.If I'm not mistaken their office is located at block E second floor opposite the Divisional office of Business and Law

Well there is usually an early bird discount on registration fees according to the past when Taylor's had their open days and other events but I'm not quite sure if there is any lined up in the near future.
Are you qualified for any other bursary or scholarship etc? if you are then that would not apply to you, the early bird discount is usually just for those not receiving any other type of discount.
So if you will be receiving any other type of discount you can register anytime it's the same, about events I don't know if there's any in the near future so I can't really say, if there's none than there's no difference as well ^^" Well for me it's good that you apply as soon as it's comfortable for you.

you want the UniSA Bachelor in Management (Marketing)? Well Usually Diploma Holders from TARC have no problem getting exempted 8 subjects in the UniSA programme which means they get to go in year 2 straight away but which subjects you get exempted would depend on your syllabus and the grade for those subjects ^^

Assuming you get the 8 subject exemption, the whole tuition +misc fees for the programme would be RM52,620.
Last time I checked there was something called the Local Collaboration Bursary 2010 or Grant forgot which one which gives a 30% tuition fee waiver to Diploma Holders from TARC to come study in Taylor's if I'm not mistaken. Go to Taylor's and check on it and a counselor. =)

yeah before this that building was the Taylor's Business School.
Well for me I prefer that building over the main TCSJ with CAL and SAM.The classrooms are about the same, but the whole building is air conditioned and there's some lifts XD
and now that the ECA center has moved to that building CPU students will be closer to the center where you can hang out and get involved with clubs and societies and also imo the building is closer to more good food XP

There are no specific books for A levels..... it depends on your lecturers etc. Actually if you are studying in Taylors, you don't need any books. Trust me, don't waste your money buying books first. Just wait for your lecturers order. This is for science stream. Not too sure bout the art stream.

I don't have the book list and right now I have midsems so not going to stop by TCSJ for about a week or so.If you want the book-list got to go to and ask Taylor's for it ^^"
but usually you wait for your lecturers to tell you to use which books before buying them.Some don't prefer to use books, some don't prefer to use the main text, some use the main text, some let you use second hand books, some don't, some let you use photo stated books ,some don't etc.

So if you are joining pre-u programmes in Taylor's it's best you wait until the first class and ask your lecturer ^^

Or if you really want to buy the book just go to the University Bookstore in front of TCSJ (well you might at least go ask for the booklist if going there XP ) the bookstore has the list of books used by most of Taylor's programmes, they get it from Taylor's you can look at the list there and also the price at the bookstore =)

Make sure that the lecturers are sufficient bfore u get enrolled. ( A piece of advise from ex taylor's student). I ve thought wit 4 subjects by the same lecturer. Moreover, this is a new campus, most probably they lack of lecturers. Jus personal opinion btw.

Yup those images are 100% true.That is the show unit though, you can actually visit it accompanied by staff since still got some safety procedures to follow. Other Units have not been fully furnished yet since the commercial block,hostel and hotel is still not fully complete.

what course were you in before? I'd say Taylor's has quite sufficient amount of lecturers now. A lot of great ones as well in my opinion =)
new campus doesn't mean insufficient lecturers since all lecturers move over from the old campuses and Taylor's has increased the number of lecturers even some foreign ones ^^

Usually if your an MQA accredited Diploma holder and you did any English Subjects in your Diploma or you have a GCE-O 1119 with a credit than you do not need to sit for IELTS to enroll in the programme =)

I've been asked to post this by some friends from the TUC Student Council

QUOTE(Taylor's University College Student Council)
FAQ - Issues in Lakeside

As Taylor's University College Student Council (TUCSC) we hope to communicate more with students. We too understand your frustrations and are doing as much as we can to help everybody. Taylorians, Our priority. Hence, below will be some of the concerns and our replies to you on the current issues at lakeside campus.

Lakeside NOT enough Parking Space.
We are Taylorians too! As of now, we have approx 9000+ students on campus. Our current information on Parking lots in campus are as stated in the PDF file on Student Portal . There are a certain percentage of students that are taking the Taylor's Shuttle bus from hostel as well as students who are doing car pooling. Talking about parking space, from the statistic received by the Facilities Management there are about 200+ available car park lots everyday in the campus. For car park issues the Council is aware of this matter and is currently in amidst of discussion with the Institution on the next course of actions.

http://portals.taylors.edu.my/bpmapp-uploa...on%20Campus.pdf


The Parking area are damaging our cars Why aren't the Management doing anything for the land to be tar.
At the moment, the Council is looking on the car park land safety and it seems like the Institution is taking an initiative to tar the land for Taylorians' safety and convenience. Let's give us a little more time in order to come up with a better plan towards creating a better campus environment for all. Please bear with us for the time being. However, some lands* do not belong to Taylor's hence, the management are Not allow to do anything on the land. (*refer to parking fees charges)

Parking Fees charges
With the limited resources of car park spaces and the need to maintain car park areas a parking fee will be imposed. However, it will be managed by an External car park operator & we do not know How much the fee would be yet. Please do not speculate the fees as rumors are going on. And before charging the students on parking fee the management will ensure the safety of students hence, most probably will tar the road, put proper road sign, with drawing of car park lots. (This only applies to our Taylor's Land, as the management cannot do anything on those rented land as it is prohibited to tar the land fyi land that belongs to Taylor's is only up till the basketball court & opposite the lake)

It is so HOT to walk all the way to campus from car park areas
We understand this as we too walk under the sun, however this matter has been brought up to the management and they are considering the possible way for it.

Why are some parking lots Reserved to Lecturers and Staffs
As students shouldn't we consider our lecturers carrying Laptops & heavy bags walk so far to the campus?  think about it.

Why so many bumps/speed breakers in campus
This is to prevent students from speeding as many near-accidents and accidents had occurred due to students driving very fast and speeding out the turning. This is for the safety of everyone. As to why is it so high answered by facilities management it is the measurement approved.

Shuttle Bus too crowded. Not enough buses.
The Council is also scrutinizing into the Shuttle Bus issue too so that Taylorians will have other alternatives to access to the campus.

Do we need to Pay for Shuttle Bus services?
NO. it has been many years that Taylorian's take shuttle bus for Free! If there's any rumor on this please stop spreading. If you heard any bus driver asking for fees do let us know asap.

The Traffic is terrible
source: The Star (Wednesday May 12, 2010) Measures taken to alleviate traffic congestion in Bandar Sunway and The Star property
The management has taken action in this matter hence, please give them some time before the new alternative road is ready.
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file...648&sec=central

Expensive Meals
Info Food prices in ranges
Recces (food court) from RM 5 - Rm 7+
Temptations from RM 6 - Rm 12+
Truffles, Tarragon, Thyme (Taylor's fine dining restaurants) Rm 10 per pax "3 course meal"
Desert Bar meals RM 8-16+ deserts Rm 3 - Rm 9+
Norwegian Sandwich bar ranges Rm3 - Rm 10
Sisters Crispy Popiah ranges  Rm 3 - Rm 9+
Chill Cafe ranges Rm 2 - Rm 8+

When the commercial blocks are ready which is expected by July there will be a food court of about 12 Stalls and other variety of food outlets. Facilities Management will be bringing in more Mobile vendors to increase the variety of Foods available.

The Food court is so crowded without any proper ventilation
When the building was constructed, the food court (Recces) is only known to be Temporarily. That location is actually for the use other purposes. That is why there's limited food choices and no proper ventilation. Additional fans have been placed too.

Why is this a NO Smoking Campus
Its is by the Malaysia regulations that ALL campus in Malaysia are a non-smoking campus! If students are found smoking a fine will be imposed stated by the regulations onto the smoker. Hence, there will not be any smoking areas. If students are found smoking, disciplinary action will be taken by the management.
FYI: Monash uni have a smoking area because they are international university hence, different from the Malaysia university regulations.

Hi ewenkhoo,

Well what you can do is try converting it yourself or something. Or write a letter to INTI explaining your situation.Or you can go to Taylor's and ask their advice on it maybe if Taylor's can provide a letter or something about it to you, that would be the best, because earlier this year when my sister wanted to transfer over to Taylor's after finishing her Diploma in KLIUC, I had to ask a counselor to write a letter to KLIUC requesting for the course syllabus because it's KLIUC's policy not to give the syllabus to students lol I had to go through a lot of trouble since Taylor's had to send the syllabus to UniSA to check for exemptions but the KLIUC registrar won't give my sister the syllabus. ^^"

Anyway transferring over from a Diploma, you would have had to ask for your syllabus,letter of completion and all in the first place for Taylor's to check for exemptions from INTI, so if you got those you would already have stuff like credit hours etc that is necessary to calculate CGPA and you can ask the Taylor's counselor to help you with that I think.

But I kinda see a problem with you wanting to enroll into the Taylor's-UWE Dual Degree IBM programme.The thing is that is a new programme that just started their first batch of students last February so you coming from a Diploma programme would usually get one year exemptions from the Degree course but the thing is, that programme still has no Second year students. ^^" Their first batch of students haven't even finished their first semester.As far as I know they will only be offering second year subjects next February when this first batch enter their second year.
So you might want to discuss this matter with a Taylor's counselor to see what you can do about it.Check for exemptions first and who knows if you did not get exempted from a few first year units than you might be able to join the July intake this year to do those units if you get exempted from all the first year units... you might have to wait until next February if your really interested with the IBM programme.

Anyway hope that answered your question.If there's anything that is unclear just ask =)

hum I can't really say for sure,what I told you was what my deputy dean told somebody who was from a Diploma when she was counseling in the last open day though info now might have changed your best shot is to ask Taylor's directly. They might open a class if there is a high demand of the programme especially from their own Diploma in Business students, but I'm not really sure. and you should check on the exemptions while your at it as well, get your course syllabus from INTI and send it to Taylor's, if they don't open a class for second year students and you don't get exempted from all first year units than you might be able to join the current batch next semester in July but if they don't open a class and you get exemptions for all first year subjects than I don't really see any other option than do a different programme or wait for next year ^^"

Hi there guys, have u ever experience taylor's admin service kindda very slow lately?

Taylors service is in their worst performance.....5 years plus in taylors and there is no improvements in their performance. Asked for a transcript last week and having being paid an expensive sum but what they told you when you come at the collection date?. "Owh yeah, i'm sorry..we're kindda forgot about it..can you come next week?".

Taylors service is in their worst performance.....5 years plus in taylors and there is no improvements in their performance. Asked for a transcript last week and having being paid an expensive sum but what they told you when you come at the collection date?. "Owh yeah, i'm sorry..we're kindda forgot about it..can you come next week?".

Meeting session was held today. Sorry for my lateness. Anyways, this is some sort of web TV broadcast production team called the Taylor's News Network. Content goes onto the Taylor's YouTube channel, and hopefully a site of its own if it gets big enough - there's also talk of broadcasting this on the TVs around campus. Available positions and possibly more are listed above.


Added on May 27, 2010, 6:56 pmPardon the double post. It's a free bump.

This may be sort of random, but does anyone know if the lecture theatres at the lakeside campus are open on Saturdays, and for how long? Better yet, does anyone know/remember what LT12 is like (size, stage, lighting, etc.)? <___<

Hello,

Is there any ATM machine available in Taylor's ? I'm going to enroll in Taylor's Business Foundation for July intake smile.gif Any extra tips for me? biggrin.gif

If someone know that there is any twin sharing room available, kindly to inform me yar. I'm willing to share the room too. Thanks^^ Because I found that only single room available for me to stay in Taylor's hostel which cost me RM 760 per month. It's quite expensive for me sad.gif

I also found that there is part-time jobs available in Taylor's. Is that true? smile.gif

Not sure.I would have to check on that. Though the scheme for ACCA professional level is just RM150 it's less than normal programmes.

hey I don't have the fees with me now so I'll get back on that later.
For the date to apply yes you can apply anytime before the intake date of the programme and since it's in July it's still ok after the UPU date.
You can try for the tertiary merit scholarship or something similar though it's best you apply ASAP for scholarship chances.

It's weird that Taylor didn't list out some of their fees in their website..
How do we apply for those scholarship? I cant find any application form for us to download or online application beside World class Scholarship. Can we use STPM result to apply for tertiary merit scholarship and Financial Hardship for July Intake?
thank you..

From what I remember, a lot of tertiary education institutions don't list down the fees on their site, but it'd be helpful if it did. Maybe they think it's bad for business. <__<

http://www.taylors.edu.my/prosstudents/pro...nding.php?id=74

Select "I am a" and pick your profile. Also, I'm fairly sure STPM results aren't accepted for the Tertiary Merit Scholarship, but there is a STPM High Achievers' Scholarship.

You would have to go to Taylor's to get the forms for those scholarships
Anyway I've been quite busy nowadays to check the full fees just that from out of my head the full tuition + misc fees should be around RM75k.Got a lot of stuff messed up around me to go and check lol maybe during the open day next week I'll go around the programmes again during lunch break ^^"

It's not weird really for them to not list out their fees on their website. Most IPTS don't list out their fees. For us it would be a bit troublesome to go and ask for the fees and such but I can think of a few good reasons why it's disadvantages for Universities especially like Taylor's to just list out their fees without first being able to present about the stuffs they have to offer to prospective students. It's really bad for marketing XD

Are you taking Diploma or Degree?
hum I'm not sure about your programme but if there is English tests like some other programmes then yeah usually there will be an English test during orientation week, through that test Taylor's will determine your English level and they will put students in class according to their level of English so that they can give the most suitable method according to each classes level of english.

Because having double major shows that you're versatile in both area of business, thus a wider career choice?

If hospitality management got a lot of homework and assignment. The one I am gonna take is the degree one. And would it be matter if I am buying Mac laptop rather than Windows laptop? Would it also require me to install an app such as accounting app in the laptop? I am considering to buy macbook n didn't want to install windows on it lol...

It's quite impossible to walk from ss14 to lakeside campus. If you really want to walk, i think should be around 30mins.

As far as I know, this English test is only for those who get lower grade than B4 in their GCE-O in SPM. While if you are from UEC and do not sit for SPM, then I do not know.

hum since IBM incorporate half marketing subjects into the programme people are more attracted to it.It will open more doors. Last February during the registration on orientation week there are less than 10 people taking IB only but about 100+ taking IBM.

CAL is in either SS15 or Sri Hartamas. There's not really a problem walking to SS15.

I think your thinking of the wrong English test.The one your talking about is the one for those who did not get through Taylor's English Language Requirements to check their level of English so they can join the English classes where needed.

The English test the person is asking about are the ones used to gauge people's English levels and arrange them in classes in certain courses in TUC.Usually taken by everyone regardless of your English score even with IELTS Band 9.0 usually done during the orientation week.Though not all courses have this test as the structure doesn't really arrange you into the same group of people in classes.

hum last time when I took it, it's kinda grammar questions some objective some fill in the blanks etc. etc. very easy stuff just that there's a lot of questions around 150 to 200 like that.

I heard from my friend that went for Degree in International Business and Marketing recently and they said it's about the same though that's in business school I don't know about other divisions.

hum no unless they ask you to.Usually Degree orientations are short about three days and they don't really tell you what to wear. They might ask you to wear it later on during a team building session though . ^^" Foundation orientations usually last for one week and they usually don't tell on the first day but set cloths to wear or the colour of cloths to wear on each day starting from the second day ^^"




Oh yeah Taylor's Business School has just received Gold Status as an ACCA tuition provider even though we're quite new in providing tuition for ACCA and only professional papers ^^. Even though not as good TARC and Sunway but we're slowly moving up ^^

will last until about 3 pm or 4 pm or so.Depending on what kind of talks,activities and briefing you have to go through. Your orientation has some important stuff at certain times as there would usually be representatives from UniSA to tell you guys some stuff and all and unlike most of TUC you guys use UniSA's website for your lecture notes,assignments,tutorials etc. while others uses the Taylor's Blackboard.

Oh yeah Taylor's Business School has just received Gold Status as an ACCA tuition provider even though we're quite new in providing tuition for ACCA and only professional papers ^^. Even though not as good TARC and Sunway but we're slowly moving up ^^
*
Cool that's really fast for Taylors to get Gold Status ^^ I'm just waiting for their full time courses! actually TARC is also a gold status provider while Sunway areb the only Platinum Status in Msia... Ms. Vinitha must be doing a pretty good job with the ACCA programme considering it just started 2 sittings ago!

Sigh I miss Taylor's and UWE >.> life after is not so rosy >.<

It's available in other universities , not taylors thou

Basically , ADP provides you with the general credits only. So as long as you're in the engineering major , you can transfer to US to major in any form of engineering.

Best if you could check with the universities in US that you intend to transfer to next time.

(Correct me if i'm wrong)

There are two ways to get into Software Engineering through Taylor's though both can not be completed locally. First of all is through the ADP programme and the second way is through the Bachelor of Computer Science twinning with RMIT. After some time and meeting the requirement you can credit transfer into the Software Engineering programme in RMIT Australia.

Taylor's said that the commercial block and hostel would be ready by the end of July ^^ bookings for rooms are now open though single rooms are almost all fully booked.If you want them you have to act fast and priority is given to outstation and international students.

It depends.You would have to go to your Divisional Office to ask that since it's usually different by the intake and programme.

Yeah since Taylor's Business School is located in Block E, ACCA classes will be held there ^^ hum the temperature in class in my opinion is kinda ok. It's not too cool which makes it kinda comfortable though if the aircond was not turned on when you first start class it will be a little warm for a bit before the temperature becomes a bit comfortable. The library on the other hand is really cold though ^^"

hum since psychology is only available through ADP you are not exactly a Taylor's graduate. Your a graduate of which University you transferred to and how well you can find a job would depend on you XD

1. I have no idea where you sit for ACCA papers ^^" have to ask Taylor's are they an exam center or need to go somewhere to take ^^"

2. You don't need any work experience. Just submit your certified copies of your official academic transcripts so Taylor's can send them to ACCA for exemptions and you can start pursuing ACCA ^^

To get a second degree you need to take a combination of Units throughout the first three years you spend in Taylor's if you were to stay there for three years and after getting enough credits to earn your first degree you would have to transfer to UniSA in Adelaide,Australia for one extra year to earn your second degree.

hum I'm not sure about that question, probably not, usually you can only take 4 subjects per semester and there are two semesters a year so 8 subjects per sem unless your retaking certain units or something, but it might be a good idea to ask the Deans if you could do this but this kind of stuff would usually be forwarded to UniSA in Aussie and they are the ones who will make the final decision on this.

1.As far as I know, Taylor's is not an exam centre, ACCA is an external programme so you don't need to take the exams where you take tuition for it. You can take Tuition in Taylors and go back to your home town to sit for the exam provided they have an exam centre there.


2. ah from the same course ^^, but I graduated in 2009. No you don't need working experience you can just take it right away. Assuming you managed to pass ACG (since it's a killer paper) then you only need to take 5 more papers otherwise you would need to take 6 papers... and if i am not mistaken Taylors only has the final 5 papers. Although Ms. Vinitha did tell us that she could make arrangements for a class for ACCA audit provided there is demand for it... that said she said it back in 2009 not too sure about now!

So apparently Taylor's decided to hop aboard the bandwagon and provide their own e-mail service with a very slapshod introduction.

Except nobody knows what the default password is.

they never properly announce the thing to old students just tell new students lol >.< I have no idea what the password is either. I asked my friend from the student council to enquire and they she say it's supposed to be the same password you use to log in to the computers.I tried so many times until I got locked out ^^" and on a holiday now so lazy to go ask the ICT department about it zzzzzzzzz.....

Oh yeah and by this Thursday, the new entrance will be open for use, entering from the housing area is no longer allowed though until the exit is finished we can still exit through the housing area ^^

The Taylor's entrance and exits are real rubbish. Really bad planning. They should have at least 2 to 3 exits if they are expecting to accomodate a whopping 10,000 students!

Parking has been improved upon ALOT though, even though we have to walk alot

Does anyone know what is the CGPA for Computer Science to get First Class Honours? I would like to apply for PTPTN, and would like to aim high and try to obtain such CGPA so that the PTPTN becomes a scholarship.

Does anyone knows the proper procedure to apply for PTPTN through Taylors? Or I need to do everything myself via PTPTN website?

this one I don't know since Taylor's RMIT Computer Science Degree is not an Honours Degree.To get Honours you have to go for one extra Honours year in RMIT and that's by invitation only if you get good enough grades.You try and ask the bursary and financial aid department if there's some average you can earn or something besides first class honours.

Well right now just a few small temporary stalls and some portable shops.The commercial block will be ready by the end of this month seems like still got some little tweaks here and there to finish and they will start opening their shops then ^^
Here's some confirmed list of shops that I know of from the Student Council.

Food outlets:
subway, Starbucks, face2face, Castro restaurant, Wong Kok Char Chan Teng, bread story, Baskin robbins, famous amos, I love Yoo, Breakers, Food court: RECEZZ

Other Shops:
carrefour express (24/7), EMO bookstore, TeleGift, Tee Seng printing shop, RE:style (by A cut above), WasherDroff (laundary), Rasa newstand, AM Bank

I'd wish they would just one simple ramly burger stall would be cheaper and sure have a lot of customers ^^"

Hmmmn I don't think TARC are Platinum yet because this semester Sunway is still using the tagline "we are the ONLY PLATINUM status tuition provider in Malaysia" Probably Gold is as high as Taylors can get because it is still only offering the last 5 papers >.> and to get platinum the provider needs to have 10/14 papers above world passing rate I think~ Ah well it's good work by Ms V XD getting in the right lecturers and achieving the passing rate with the limited number of students XD

Hey guys, I'm going to be joining a degree programme at the Lakeside Campus next week and I only have 2 questions:

1. How does one usually pay the fees? Cheque? Bank in? They don't really explain much in the LOA.

2. What's the dress code for Orientation?

Hope to hear from someone soon smile.gif

1. You go to the Counter at the First Floor and pay there.You can pay with Cheque,Credit Cards or if you have cash can also though that would be a lot LOL and the like.

2. As long it's decent no problem.Tshirts,jeans and some sneakers would do ^^ no shorts and sleepers stuff like that unless your sure you can evade the Dean or people like that in the MPH XP

I'll be working there during your orientation XP

Actually your supposed to pay the fees for your first semester before you start in Taylor's or on the first day though there is a grace period I don't quite remember how long for you to pay your first sem fees.

Welcome to Taylor's =)
Sure there's a lot of clubs and societies you can join in Taylor's.Just wait until you start and go to the student development hub in the Student Life Center to ask or you can wait till you have access to the student portal and you can view and register through the student central portal if I'm not mistaken =)

Though they don't have full accreditation, everything in this programmes has MQA approval and is partially accredited so that PTPTN Loans can be taken done for students studying them.
There are a few factors that needs to be fulfilled to be fully accredited by the MQA.One of them is that particular programme must have a graduating batch to be evaluated.

Now these programmes
- Bachelor of Business (Hons) Business Administration
- Bachelor of Business (Hons) Human Resource Management
- Bachelor of Business (Hons) International Business
- Bachelor of Business (Hons) International Business & Marketing
are new programmes in TUC which the first batch of students of the programme just started last February and the second batch coming in next Monday.
That being said since the first batch has not even officially entered their second semester of their first year yet of course they don't have a graduating batch to be evaluated with a lot of other things a programme that has been running for quite some time has.
But TBS has not have problems with accreditation of any other of it's programmes before as you can check all other business programmes besides these new ones are all already accredited by the MQA and they are confident when the time for evaluation comes these programmes will receive their accreditation. =)

If you take SAM/CAL/CPU/IBDP/STPM etc. then you don't need to take foundation =) Depends on which you like, the systems between them a lot difference and one thing is if you go SAM you need to get ATAR 65 if I'm not mistaken to get into the business degree programmes in TUC but for Foundation as long as you complete the programme no matter what your grades, your guaranteed entry into the business Degree programmes in Taylor's.
Though if you do SAM/CAL/CPU etc. you would have a wider choice on where you can go and do your degree afterward if you decide you don't want to study in Taylor's anymore after pre-u ^^"

Hum that's subjective to what kind of person you are.Here's some simple explanations on how some of the pre-u programmes are.
You can use either one of these to get into a Taylor's Business Degree programme or go somewhere else.

Cambridge A-Levels (18 months)
Totally 100% on exams.Separated into two major exams AS Level and A2 Level. After 1 year of study you take AS Level.6 months after that you take A2 Level.Then the combination of the two you get your grades.The norm is taking 3 subjects but there is a lot of people taking 4 subjects as well and some either genius or idiot students taking 5 and 6 subjects lol ^^"
Assestment
100% Final Exams
Awarding Body
University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE)
Entry Requirement for TUC Degree Business Admin : CDD

Canadian Pre-University (1 year of 2 semesters or 1 ½ years of 3 semesters, if required)
Must take 6 subjects inclusive of English.So 3 subjects per semester. Students who lack pre-requisite preparation may need additional courses requiring 3 semesters to complete the programme.
Assestment
70% continuous assessment and 30% final examination
Awarding Body
Ministry of Education, Ontario, Canada
Entry Requirement for TUC Degree Business Admin : Minimum 65% in the best 6 subjects

South Australian Matriculation (1 Year)
Must take 5 subjects inclusive of English as Second Language Studies (ESL Studies)
Assessment Style
Internal Assessment (50% - 70 %) and External Assessment (30% - 50%) Most Subjects are 50% internal(Assignments,Quizes,Semester Exams etc.), 50% Final Exam at the end of the year.
Awarding Body
SACE Board of South Australia
Entry Requirement for TUC Degree Business Admin : ATAR 65

Taylor's Business Foundation (1 year)
You will have to take 10 Subjects throughout three semester.Two long Semesters which are 14 weeks and one short semester which is 7 weeks.Though the number of subjects are more than the others you do a few each semester and once your done with the subjects, you can forget it in the next semester.You don't need any of it in next sems.The only one that might have been connected is just Accounting 1 and Accounting 2.
Assessment Style
50% Continuous Assessments and 50% Final Exam
Awarding Body
Taylor's University College.
Entry Requirement for TUC Degree Business Admin : Successful Completion

From these you decide which is more suited for you.

If your sure you want to study in Taylor's yeah Foundation is a pretty good choice as you will be guaranteed entry into the Degree Programme.
yeah 2 long semesters which is 14 weeks each and 1 short semester which is 7 week each.If you count exams as well add 1 week to each semester and there's a two week holiday between the semesters.

yeah hum it'll be a bit different like which intake you come in but about the same.
Lets say you come in during the January Intake.
You start in January with a short semester which is 8 weeks if you include exams.Usually there's about a week holiday in the middle for Chinese new year.Then you get two weeks holiday after the exams.Then you start the new sem which is 15 weeks including exam then two more weeks holiday then 15 more weeks of your last semester and if all goes well you will be finishing around November. Your exam results will come out during the Friday of your second week of holiday.Now if you got through all your papers this is where your foundation end if you fail a bit and qualify for supplementary exam then you got one or two more exam to take one week after results comes out ^^"

Anyway assuming all goes well, you end in November and have a bit of holiday about one month+ until if you want to join the UWE Accounting & Finance Degree.If you want to join any other programme like Business Admin,Marketing,International Business,Human Resource Management,Applied Finance etc. which are under UniSA twinning and TUC-UWE Dual Degree you will be having your holidays up until the end of the next year's February.
This is because UWE only have intakes during January and September/October while UniSA and TUC-UWE only have intakes during February and July.
The timeline will be a bit different depending if you join which intake of Foundation whether January,March or July.

Grr.... called up the enrollment manager and inquired about the First Class Honours for RMIT Computer Science Program and told her about the PTPTN loan converting into scholarship. She told me no such thing. I loled at my heart saying what kind of manager is this.... She also told me that RMIT/Australian programs do not have Hons.

I was quite sure what you said was true Hikari0307, regarding the invitation to further study another year at RMIT Melbourne for First Class Honours.

http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse/Staff%2FAdmi....3%20procedure/

As far as I know RMIT does have a award title of First Class Honours for Computer Science.

I then questioned her about the CGPA required for such, but since she does not know PTPTN conversion to scholarship exists, she said she don't know.

Next I asked her about early bird discount. She said I'm only eligible to 10% discount for first year only since I continued from Taylors Sri Hartamas. Previously at Sri Hartamas, I was entitled to 30% discount since I was from a sister school + early bird discount of 10%.

I'm curious.... anymore scholarships that I do not know? I have to find out more about the first class honours thing sigh.

Hi, Im from Tourism degree, 2nd year guy. Nice to meet u all or we all taylorians. With the newly born Lakeside campus, its too beautiful, I feel like owning Taylors so much. Whr Taylors gave the best for all students. Although thr r issues about few things, such as the expensiveness of facilities like shuttle, parking, food, n.. but I believe its goin better onwards. Hoorey Taylors!! A University to show off to the world from little Malaysia.

Nobody is exempted from ETP no matter if you have IELTS,MUET,TOEFL etc.
hum the English Placement Test is just used to separate you guys into Tutorial Groups. They will put the people with the same level of English together in a class so that they can have a bit different approach than people who are already really proficient in English.

Though what do you mean by expensiveness of shuttle and parking? Shuttle bus is free and parking well there's no price confirmed for that yet ^^
Discussions are still ongoing.

@Hikari,

I was just informed yesterday about the EPT. Seems like I was chosen, and most people are exempted. Not sure how they get the exemption, but it seems like if you have IELTS, you are exempted. This is for the School of Computing.

It seems like this EPT is a big deal for degree holders, because if we don't get band 6.1, we will need to take 12 hours a week of English class, and that makes us only able to take one RMIT subject/course. It also means that it might increase the duration for us to graduate =/.

oh that's a different EPT than the one I thought. That one is for those who did not qualify the English Language Requirements of the programme.Your in Taylor's RMIT right? You need to get a band 6.5 equivalent to IELTS to satisfy English language requirements. Do you have a credit in your SPM 1119 GCE-O English grade? I saw in the RMIT website before that they accept that as an IELTS equivalent. Though I don't know if the stuff they accept as an IELTS equivalent can be used through TUC as well.Got to check with your Divisional Office since they only list these out

IELTS
Overall score of 6.5
TOEFL
Overall score of 600 (paper based); Overall score of 250 (computer-based)
Taylor's Foundation in Computing
60% in Technical English 1 and Technical English 2

Go to one of the computer labs first, then use your Student ID as User name and your IC if your Malaysian or Passport if your an International Student as password to log into the computer, once you do that you will be prompted to change your Password. Once you have done so only will you be able to log into the student portal using your student ID and the new password that you have set ^^

You need them for?
Well Admissions won't have programme specific academic calenders. Students only get those during orientation or going and ask for it at their respective divisional offices or on the student portal if the divisional office staff uploads it.

lol didn't your brother get it during orientation?
Ask your brother to go to his Student Portal then go to the heading Programme. Usually they upload the academic calender there. Though the one for 2011 might still not be there since they usually only prepare that calender at the end of the year.
The best bet is still to go to the Divisional Office and ask the staff there. Got to try and make him talk to people, Taylor's staff are helpful and nice most of the times =D

Though if he still can't then, probably you can try this.
Try and email the Associate Dean, Ms Den Shu Chien shuchien.den@taylors.edu.my and ask her since I don't know any admin staff who's in charge of FIS ^^"

be a little active. Join clubs etc. and just hang out with them, as time passes and you get use to people, you will find yourself being less and less shy =)
If you think your case is really bad see Dr. Adnan or any other counselor. They are all very friendly people and can help you a lot in ways to overcome this problem =D

Who is Dr. Adnan you ask? View one TV appearance by him to know a bit about him XD

yes and recently they earned Gold Tuition Provider from ACCA.
They only offer Professional Level papers as they want to encourage people to go through their degrees first rather than start ACCA from the first paper.

yes it is possible. Though the International Business Programme in Taylor's has their syllabus based on UWE in the UK so my advice would be that you enroll in maybe Marketing or Applied Finance which is under the twinning with UniSA as it will be better to be in an Aussie based programme to credit transfer there.Don't worry about the subjects since in an Aussie business degree, the first year subjects are essentially almost the same throughout any business degree no matter what you are planning to major in.

Taylor's currently have articulation agreements with these Universities that would make the process or transferring to this unis easier but you can still transfer to most other universities including Macquarie as long as the syllabus etc. match which generally does across Aussie.
1. University of Western Australia, Perth
2. University of Queensland, Brisbane
3. Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Melbourne
4. University of Technology, Sydney

Hi

I'm new in this forum and stumble upon it when i was searching for more info on TUC's BA in Accounting & Finance in collaboration with UWE. i have a few questions regarding this course and would greatly appreciate it if any of you guys could help shed some light on this.

I am actually an accounting diploma holder and interested to study for a degree. I also have a 3-year experience working in a multinational oil and gas company. Now, my question is what's the max. exemption for a diploma holder + mature students? Is It possible for me to be exempted from year 1 and 2 and straight away enroll into year 3? Another course that I am interested in enrolling is Help UC BA in Accounting and Finance in coll with UEL. But I'd like to see what other options is available for me, plus Taylor's is nearer to home. Some of my friends with the same diploma as me straight away enroll into UEL course immediately after their diploma and got a 2-year exemptions so they only enroll into year 3.

I am not planning to apply for any study loans as my EPF account is sufficient enough to pay for a-year fees provided I enroll into year 3. Reason why I'd like to study for a degree instead of going to ACCA straight away is because I am currently taking a career break and studying for a degree would be the wisest choice at the moment not only in-terms of my short-term career progression but also beneficial in a way that it gives me an additional qualification and exemptions into ACCA. I do have a plan to study for ACCA later as my long term goal but right now I have loads of commitment to fulfill so it is not be possible to do it full-time, though I must admit that taking ACCA would be a more cost effective option. Currently, if i were to study for ACCA, I am exempted from all papers in part 1 (knowledge level) and 3 papers from part 2 (skill level) so that leaves me with 8 more papers to go.

So if there were any of you guys who actually did enroll into year 3, I hope u could share some of your experience with me. Thanks.

Hi

I'm new in this forum and stumble upon it when i was searching for more info on TUC's BA in Accounting & Finance in collaboration with UWE. i have a few questions regarding this course and would greatly appreciate it if any of you guys could help shed some light on this.

I am actually an accounting diploma holder and interested to study for a degree. I also have a 3-year experience working in a multinational oil and gas company. Now, my question is what's the max. exemption for a diploma holder + mature students? Is It possible for me to be exempted from year 1 and 2 and straight away enroll into year 3? Another course that I am interested in enrolling is Help UC BA in Accounting and Finance in coll with UEL. But I'd like to see what other options is available for me, plus Taylor's is nearer to home. Some of my friends with the same diploma as me straight away enroll into UEL course immediately after their diploma and got a 2-year exemptions so they only enroll into year 3.

So if there were any of you guys who actually did enroll into year 3, I hope u could share some of your experience with me. Thanks.

I can't give you any definite answer. As far as I know a relevant Diploma that have similar syllabus and structure would normally give you exemptions up to one year of study making the degree into two years. Now on the base of your work experience I can't answer that and neither can Taylor's I think. What you can do is go and see counselor, explain the matter to them and they might forward you to the Dean or probably ask you for certain documentation to send over to UWE to be assessed as usually TUC won't have any power on this matter and it is up to the faculty in UWE to decide.

Here's something I pulled out of their website.

Can I be exempted from a module?

If you are registered for a UWE programme and you think you have work experience which covers everything you will learn on one or more modules, then you can apply to your faculty to have your work experience assessed and, if you pass the assessment, you will be awarded UWE credit. The assessment may require you to collect and present evidence of your learning in a ‘portfolio’, or where appropriate, you may be assessed by formal examination. Experiential learning (learning achieved as part of your work experience) that is assessed and confirmed by the University for the award of University credit is described as Accredited Experiential Learning (AEL).

If you have already gained some credit or have successfully completed some assessed learning at another institution you can seek to have this recognised by the University and is described as Accredited Learning (AL). Recognising learning already achieved as AL will involve the faculty matching it against the learning outcomes of modules or groups of modules for which the AL will be substitute. This can also apply if you have gained some credit previously at UWE and are seeking to enter a higher level of award or to transfer to another programme of the same level at Degree level or above to a maximum of 20% of the credit required for that award, at the discretion of the faculty AL Committee or equivalent (see Academic Regulation B8 on http://acreg.uwe.ac.uk/rf.asp

You should be aware that there are some restrictions on the amount of AL and AEL that can contribute to a UWE award. These are set out in the University’s Academic Regulations D6 on http://acreg.uwe.ac.uk/rf.asp

Hi Hikari,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I will drop by at Taylor's one of these days to get more info on this.

I am not planning to apply for any study loans as my EPF account is sufficient enough to pay for a-year fees provided I enroll into year 3. Reason why I'd like to study for a degree instead of going to ACCA straight away is because I am currently taking a career break and studying for a degree would be the wisest choice at the moment not only  in-terms of my short-term career progression but also beneficial in a way that it gives me an additional qualification and exemptions into ACCA. I do have a plan to study for ACCA later as my long term goal but right now I have loads of commitment to fulfill so it is not be possible to do it full-time, though I must admit that taking ACCA would be a more cost effective option. Currently, if i were to study for ACCA, I am exempted from all papers in part 1 (knowledge level) and 3 papers from part 2 (skill level) so that leaves me with 8 more papers to go.

So if there were any of you guys who actually did enroll into year 3, I hope u could share some of your experience with me. Thanks.

While I wasn't exempt from anything cause I entered after A-levels... from what I do know about the programme is that usually diploma holders enter at year2. Generally Bristol Business School(BBS) is ranked higher than UEL's biz school hence they may have more stringent requirements. On the work experience part I am clueless sooo not going to go there. As far as I know, the exemptions from ACCA come from the second and third years... so I would wonder if you are eligible for the exemptions if you were exempted from the modules in UWE.

Generally,
Audit and Corporate Governance(yr2) will give you exemptions in F8,
Tax and Tax Planning(yr2) exemption is F6,
a combination of Financial Accounting(yr2) and Corporate Reporting Theory and Practice(yr3) will give you the exemption in F7,
a Combination of Corporate Finance(yr2) and Finance Management(yr3) will give you exemptions in F9 and
finally a combination of Management Accounting(yr2) and Advanced Management Accounting(yr 3) will give you an exemption in F5.

As you can see year2 forms a significant portion of the exemptions so you may want to clarify with UWE/Taylors/ACCA whether you will be eligible for the exemption if you do not complete these modules... when I took the programme I specifically picked Audit and Tax to gain exemptions and those friends of mine who did not complete Audit now have to do F8 in ACCA...

Whether or not these exemptions from ACCA are a god send or not I am not too sure cause I sure as hell am having a hard time in the professional papers without the knowledge from the F-level papers... just picking it up as I go >.>

All that said I highly recommend this degree as the lecturers are highly dedicated and helpful ^^ I truly enjoyed my time in Taylor's completing this degree and would not trade it for a life in ACCA F-level LOL ^^;;

Hi Nicky,

yes, i do agree with what you have pointed out and most of the subjects you mentioned in the year 2 syllabus of the UWE degree programme have been covered in year 2 and 3 of my diploma. As for the ACCA F-level, i only need to sit for F7, F8 and F9 based on my current qualification and this i believe was due to the missing bits that should have been covered by some of those year 3 subjects you mentioned in the degree programme.

Well, studying for the degree may not be the best possible options as compared to having an ACCA which would make you the definite choice of the employers. But as i have mentioned earlier, my career is on the rise and having a degree would definitely has it's advantages at least for now. Of course, provided that i could finish it in 1 year as i can't be leaving my job for long. If everything goes well, i could be doing my part 3 ACCA later-on on a part-time basis. But if worse comes to worse, i might just resort to plan B i.e. continue with ACCA straight away instead.

If your financial standing allows it and you don't feel like working yet, its ok to continue ACCA-P right after degree as part time study is not easy at all. lol

The point is although your diploma has covered the relevant subjects but their content has not been recognised by ACCA, where as the modules in UWE have been recognised as satisfying ACCA's criterias. In fact if you pass Audit and Corporate Governance with 50marks or more you would be exempted from ICAEW's audit paper as well. F8 the audit paper is a purely second year subject though wink.gif Anyway my point is that although UWE/Taylors may agree to let you into year 3 ACCA may not give you the full exemptions as you have not completed the said modules I have described. So I guess you should clarify this point before joining the programme to avoid any misunderstandings.

Personally I don't enjoy ACCA life ^^;;;

Actually UWE is not the only course that's on my radar. My first choice is actually to go into UEL course at Help as they are known to have been taken students with my diploma with full exemptions from year 1 and 2 subjects. But of course, UEL's Audit subject is in their year 3 syllabus where as UWE's is in their year 2 (both are optional papers) so the placing of the subjects could be the reason with regards to the modules exempted at degree level. But really, I don't mind not getting into the UWE course as time is of the essence for me right now and I don't plan to study another 2 years to get a degree, i might just go to Help or drop the whole degree idea altogether and go for ACCA instead. I am merely looking into other options preferably those closer to home and that took me to consider courses from Taylor's, Sunway, SEGi etc. Afterall, most (but not all) accounting and/or finance based degrees could earn you up to full f-level papers exemption from ACCA. But I'll go see their counselors anyway just to check on the modules i could gain exemptions on, it won't hurt to try and who knows i'll be in for a little surprise.

Hey Hikari, got something I would like to ask you.
Im taking accounting and finance this october at lakeside and Im wondering how is the timetable like? Average 1 day how many hour of class?

I saw a paper stating that

Sem 1 - October 2010-January 2011
Sem 2 - January 2011-May 2011
Sem 3 - October 2011-January 2012
Sem 4 - January 2012-May 2012
Sem 5 - October 2012-January 2013
Sem 6 - January 2013-May 2013

My questions are

1. Does that mean that every year from May-October i will be free? That sound boring.

2. From the look of the semester, im only studying for 2.5 years instead of 3 years..how come?

1.yeah from around that time every year you will kinda be free since they follow UWE and during that period it's summer holidays in the UK. What students usually do is during this period they go on Internships since the long holiday is the best time to do so and most companies want you to be with them for at least 3 months for internships.

2. Well yeah since the semesters go like that. During that 2.6 years or so period is enough for you to accumulate enough credit to gain your degree so that's why it's that period. Don't ask me why since I'm more towards an Aussie system so I don't really understand UWE that much LOL.From how the semester goes other UK programmes would have the same timeline as well right. Don't worry the programme is MQA accredited and JPA recognized. and if you join January intake you will actually finish the same time as the september intake before that making it even more express lol ^^"

hum the exact fees for 2011 SAM is not out yet as far as I know. The fees for 2010 was about 21k in subang. To know the exact fees for 2011 if they have set it is best that you contact Taylor's and the fees would also differ between Taylor's College Subang Jaya and Taylor's College Sri Hartamas with Sri Hartamas being 1,2k more expensive than Subang usually.

let me help you there hikari wink.gif

Overall it's 24hours of class in a week, 12 hours lecture and 12 hours tutorial... while the number of hours in a day is dependant on your timetable. Each lecture/tutorial is 2hours. Classes start at 8am though to about 6pm (the last time i checked) with a 2hour lunch break either from 10-12pm or 12-2pm. The longest time I have spent in a day at class is from 8am to 5.30pm (I graduated about 1 year now they have since revised the time table abit~ we used to have a fixed lunch from 12-1pm hence the timing diff) that's about 4 classes in a day? (mix of lectures n tutorials) the shortest time I have spent in a day in class is 2 hours ^^ so it really depends what subjects you pick, how the timetable is made and which tutorial group are you in.

Yes every may-october you will have holidays usually exams run till the end of may and class starts early october. This is the case for universities in the UK as well. You can do part time work or internships as hikari mentioned during the summer holidays. (by the way I enjoyed the summer holidays the most back in UWE XD) and oh resits are in August sooo if you fail any subjects it's not exactly a summer holiday =/

If you do a search on any universties in the UK you will find similar timelines... Don't worry it's sufficient time for one to study and also to understand the material. In m'sia we're kiasu we want loads of classes however in the UK it's more focused on independent learning... In reality Taylor's is already giving you 12 hours more of lectures and tutorials as in the UK lecture and tutorial times are only an hour each. This is due to requirements by MQA though.

well when they get enough people they will call a small bunch of you guys for the interview. It shouldn't be that long as interviews are ongoing until applications for the scholarship is closed which is latest 2 weeks before commencement of the programme if I'm not mistaken.
