TO sebsebsebas:

Usually, A levels (or GCE O levels/GCSE/IGCSE English Grade C) is enough, and IELTS will not be necessary for entry to/eligibility for British undergraduate degrees. In fact, one of the SPM English subjects will suffice. There are exceptions of course.

Hmmm.... Then what is the point of IELTS ? For those who didn't do well in the A levels or SPM? The fee is 570MYR which is so expensive haha

limeuu is correct, someone with rubbish English could still get great A levels results. This happens very frequently. Mine will still be within the 2 year period for visa

But, they (UK/Ireland schools) simply do not require additional tests. They do not make it a requirement across the board because many do not need to take it - but it seems to let some people through. If their English is bad, who knows how it will affect their degree study (think of teachers with poor English).

hi there~ does anyone in the UK register with the MASDUKE? http://www.masduke.net/v3/daftar.php
do we really have to register with it?

This Statement,

"Your International Passport is the property of the Malaysian Government. It REQUIRES YOU to register at the nearest Malaysian Embassy/Mission once you are out of Malaysia, failing which under Clause 25(2) of the Constitution of Malaysia, your citizenship may be withdrawn."

makes no sense at all.

As a tourist, do I register at the nearest MY Embassy? No.
On a business visit, do I register at the nearest MY Embassy? No.
As a student, do I register at the nearest MY Embassy? No. I get a visa.

Please bear in mind that your Malaysian International Passport is the Property of the Malaysian Government. Therefore you have to take good care of its safety especially. If you look at the inside of the back cover of your passport, note 3 reminds you to register at your nearest Malaysian Embassy / Malaysian High Commission office, once you are away from Malaysia. You may be deprived of any assistance if you failed to do so. Under Section 25(2) of the Malaysian Constitution, your citizenship may be withdrawn. Since the MSD is part of the department of the embassy / mission and you are a student, then it is your duty to register your goodself and prove that you are loyal to your country. You can register on-line at: www.masduke.net/v3/daftar.php  .You are advised to send a photocopy of your passport, especially pages containing your details and where the visa is stamped when you first arrived at the port of entry of this country. Non-students must register with the embassy / mission office.

Based on the mission statement, the objectives of the department are:

    * To manage students affairs with regard to their financial needs, good behaviour as "little ambassadors" and well being through various programmes jointly organised with them.
    * To monitor their academic performances and guide them where and when necessary by various means, like counselling, outreach activities and organising academic seminars/workshops.
    * To be an enabler in helping the students to be knowledgeable, highly skilled, of exemplary behaviour and highly competitive.
    * To administer efficiently the affairs of the MASDUKE and Malaysia Halls in trying to meet the needs of the clients, i.e., the students and sponsors, in particular as well as facilitating the requests of the Malaysian community residing in the UK and EIRE at large.

The MASDUKE has the following functions and scope of works:

    * To fulfil the needs of students, sponsors and parents in academic affairs through various administrative measures.
    * To provide guidance, be them on academic, social, religious or vocational matters.
    * To look after their welfare and security needs.
    * To manage and administer the department and the Halls and report back periodically to H.E. the Malaysian High Commissioner and the Ministry of Education.
    * To keep and update students records and survey their needs and performances from time to time.

Mistercrono,

So, you said are doing bachelor top-up, right? Does it mean you have a previous diploma or something? I heard a top-up is better than a pre-masters, should you decide to do masters later on. I donot know if that's correct or not.

The  pre-masters and top-up is something that is not yet available in Malaysian local Unis. 

Will wait for your friend's feedback for the Masters in Accounting.

Thanks to Hikari0307, LightningFist and limeuu.
You all had been very helpful.  Thanks

Hmmm... Can I know the condition for JPA scholarship after I have graduate? 

JPA scholarship covers everythiing include your living expenses?

Hey guys,i got a question here, is there anyone post something back to malaysia before. i think i will send some chocolate bak,so will it be detain by the custom in the airport or straight send to the house.....thx

My brother has just finish his degree almost a year and he has been working for sime darby ever since he graduated as an account specialist......

Now and then he always seem to be ding dong around with his repetitive job in sime darby as our parents cannot afford to pay for him to further his education(Master Degree) in UK...

He told us that sime darby are giving full scholarship for tuition fees + accomadation + allowance to study oversea(UK) but the draw back is a bond up to 3 years - 6 years or more up to 10 years....so it was not a "yes" choice for him at all as he does not want to serve sime darby for so long.....

Can you guys give me any advice on financial/loans/scholaship to let him pursuit for his master in UK? or is there any other way at all?

Look on the bright side, he gets a job right after he graduates. There are unemployed people out there AND there are people who would kill for a scholarship just to study in UK. Ask your brother not to be so greedy.
