And don't forget there are still Australian Swinburne and Curtin in Sarawak.

I find this 4 years requirement funny.
After SPM In UK, you do 2 years A Level + 3 years university to get a degree. Total is 5 years. In Australia, you do 1 year Year-12 + 4 years university to get a degree. Total also 5 years but you get accredited. May be BEM don't know how to count? |

QUOTE(Hikari0307 @ Jan 20 2011, 02:45 PM) Your pre-u is not a formal engineering education so it can not be counted. It's not as simple as that. 2 years of A level sure learn more stuff than 1 year of Year 12. So may be part of Australian Year 1 Engineering stuff are already covered in 2nd year of A Level? Possible?It's not just BEM, all members of the Washington Accord only accredits Degrees which are 4 years in length.  I know for UK medicine, they insist all Pre-U must be of 7 years duration. And if you do SPM+1 year Year-12 making a total of 6 years, they may not accept. Likewise if you do Chinese UEC (6 years), they also would not accept. So it seems in UK, the number of years before university is important. |

There are no such cases but do allow me to make a far stretched hypothetical example just to illustrate a point.Even in the UK to become a Professional Engineer one would need 4 years of Education. You would need a BEng + Msc or an MEng to be a PEng in the UK. So saying that it's a problem with BEM is not it since that's the case in all Washington Accord signatories They have all agreed to only recognize 4 years as the magic number for registration and as far as they are concerned, they have agreed that they will recognize that there is substantial equivalency between the programmes accredited by the bodies of each signatory country. 5 yrs secondary education to SPM level. Then 4 yrs in university for engineering. Total 9 yrs. This will be accredited. 7 yrs secondary education to STPM/A-Level. Then 3 yrs in university for engineering. Total 10 yrs. This is not accredited. |
