Hi AP.L. Basically the difference between foundation and A Levels is that one is local, and one is international. Foundation means that you'll only be able to complete your degree in that specific course in the university. For example, if you do a foundation in business at Taylor's University, you'll only be able to pursue a Business degree in Taylor's University. This means that if you complete your Business foundation and decide that you want to switch to do a degree in Multimedia, OR you want to continue your degree studies in let's say Curtin University in Perth, you won't be able to do so. For A Levels or any of our other pre-u programmes, you'll be able to do an array of degrees at any universities that you want to. That is the advantage. The only disadvantage of A LEvels is that it is 1.5 years instead of a 1 year in foundation. Our other pre-u programmes, like the South Australian Matriculation Programme and the Canadian Pre-U programme are also one year in duration. For a better understanding of the differences between foundation and pre-u, please talk to our course counsellors at Taylor's College, or you can call us at 03-5636 2641.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You can take any of our pre-u programme at Taylor’s. All our scholarships are given based on your actual results.

Added on January 22, 2011, 12:54 pmHi Talude, you are only required to complete 6 subjects to graduate from the Taylor’s Pre-U CPU programme. There is thus no need to do four subjects in each semester. Doing three each, you’ll still complete it within a year. The English requirement is that you’ll need to complete the ENG4U in order to graduate. For more information and accurate advise, please speak to your programme office representatives, Ms Caryn or Ms Nadeline at Level 1, Wisma Subang Jaya.

Hi Zeeyang, what Pre-U programme are you studying? Fastest way is to check with your respective programme office. Thanks.

Hey Leoric012

There are a few jobs that come to mind almost immediately. You can study actuarial science, which requires you to be grounded in Mathematics, Specialist/Further mathematics, and physics. Apart from that, you can also consider a degree in engineering which would require you to do another science subject (on top of physics) – chemistry.

Hi Leoric. It’s ok to take computing at A Levels even if you do not have any prior knowledge. Teachers at pre-u level will teach you the basics of computing and then build on that. Come talk to us at our campus or visit our fan page on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Taylors-Pre-U/114584115247149!

Hi, you can do 3 subjects, without needing a fourth subjects. We generally advise students to take up a fourth subject, as for more competitive courses where places are limited, universities sometimes do look at if the student did a fourth subject and their grade for it.

This would depend on the availability of subject combinations at the time you register. For March intake, there will be more limited subject combinations as compared to January intake

Hi! Before your sister undergoes her law degree, she would need to go through a Pre-U programme first. The minimum requirement for a Pre-U Programme in Taylor's is 5 Credits in her SPM.

Drop by our Open Day on 19 & 20 March to speak to our counsellors!
