Hi, i have some questions. What is the difference between local degree and international degree? Is that international degree is worldwide recognized but local degree is not? If i have entered matric, i only can have local degree?

Getting Started

if you enter matriculation you could still enter private unis. that means you could still obtain an international degree, i suppose.

Regarding the recognition of matriculation, one needs to check with the college.

Make sure u make your decision wisely, dun jz follow your friends. it's time for you to start living and socializing on ur own. Do some research on the career you prefer to take and have passion for. Check for job opportunity and availability although by the time you graduate, the condition is going to be a little different, but at least you still get the picture. People can say anything without actual meaning. Be wise in trusting what others tell you, thus the research. If you want to pursue your studies overseas, start looking for a good scholarship offer but be wise in studying the terms under the scholarship. Some might require to get bonded for 5-10 years. There's nothing wrong with that unless you wanna further your studies after your degree. Be reminded that there are more scholarship offers for O levels (SPM) students rather than for A levels (STPM) students. Besides, the competition you have to endure in getting scholarships as an A level student is much tougher. University ranking arent all that important, it's you who can either make the university look either superb or mediocre. Even so, you still must lookout for certain Universities that doesn't use English as their primary language, as their graduates normally have problems getting employed in the real world. Especially if you are going outstation or overseas and don't have a transport of your own there, do make sure that your accomodation is close to your campus and there are sufficient public transport around.
Just my two cents after making the best choice of my life.
P.S. Sucky food is my biggest problem so far, haha

Most business foundations or first years are broad based. You learn the core aspects of business studies before venturing into specific fields. What universities would you like to go to? If you have no objections on universities such as UEL, UWE, UniSA, Curtin, RMIT, in short universities which offers twinning programs at private colleges, you can just enroll yourself in that particular college's business foundation.

Diploma is a qualification on its own right. Foundation isn't necessarily so. Yes, it is cheap but you don't have much choices. The progression route is this, diploma-advanced dilpoma-3 month top-up program at Sheffield Hallam(degree). As you can see, you don't have any choices at all. However, I think it is possible for you to do the diploma and transfer to another private college which has more foreign partners if you don't like TARC's route.
