Alright thank you

and.... i finally got my val letter.
apparently it's just an envelope with 2 letters in it, one in english , and another is in malay i think.
3-4 more weeks left.

Is General Studies (Mata Pelajaran Pengajian Umum) required in order to pursue the MBBS program at Monash Msia? I have contacted them, and the answer is no, but this piece of information confuses me > http://www.monash.edu.my/academic-services/es/gs/index.html

Can anyone enlighten me pls

erm isnt it compulsary for everyone ( local students study more on history/ international students more on bahasa melayu)......

i thought if u dont take this unit....ur degree wont be recognized by malaysia??

That's what I heard, but when I asked Monash Msia about this, they told me it's not required..However I'm afraid without it my MBBS cert would be useless

From what i heard , it's an extra requirements from the govt. not from monash australia.
hence it will be given a separate certificate and the marks will be not along with the mbbs.

Again , my earlier impression was international students will just have to sit for the classes and learn about it with not much emphasis on exams, since mostly they just end up passing through, ie go to musc, get their degree and move on to another country.

I could still be dead wrong .

its a waste of time dat gov compulsory course... rmb i had to take moral studies or something like dat... 2 courses... got distinction for both but what's the point...

i can't blame them alakanbunny.
if u look at us, u've got at least 2-3 subjects which are compulsory about us history, us politics and the state you'll be studing it.
also medical or science students have to take physiology , social studies etc which really doesn't benifit them. unless they're majoring in it.

during orientation for oct2013..this is wat i heard...local students have to PASS each unit.....while international students just have to take it WITHOUT PASSING it is ok for u guys


@ bunny

when a-level they make us do MPW MORAL AND PENGAJIAN MALAYSIA.....and our batch go in degree time....government implement new system..so we have to do it again

Most colleges and universities (Monash esp) told me that it is not compulsory. However, I don't mind undertaking GS if it's required by the government in order to get my MBBS 'recognised'. I'm already used to the same thing in SPM.

Still confused tho...

Don't worry you can take it at anytime through out your course as long as you do it before you graduate (assuming its compulsory)

Thanks for the inputs guys

hi..
i applied for the bachelor of engineering (honours) code 4632 and its being assessed atm..

but when i logged in to check again, i think they update another course for me thats bachelor of engineering code 0032 and its being assessed as well..

does this mean i have a big chance in getting single unit enrollment like certain people here or get rejected?

almost everything set up
just noticed something today at embassy, there's a finger print and eye scanner for all incoming non-nationals to malaysia? apparently it's been in effect since 2011 may.

Erm no, provisional offer is the same just that i have to make sure i pass the 1st and 2nd sem without failing any single units. The completion time will be exactly the same as normal students just that im on provision for 2 sems

Asked the staff in charge there and enrolled as well Cant wait for uni to start now ( lots of pretty girls to see )
Gonna do my best, not slacking during pre U

Starting my degree in Mech Engineering in three weeks, Malaysian campus. Anyone joining at the same time? Btw how's the wifi there?

Hii! Have you visited the campus yet?

ah same here, 24th feb orientation , landing a bit earlier, and staying in smr,
