May I know where to do Pre-U course? Okay should I do it means that I don't have to do STPM & can study in the universities? And what is ADP....

yup, dun take stpm . just go any privvate U and take the course u 1 . If financial got prob, u can apply ptptn . sure can get but need to state that you are poor even though u might be rich . Good luck

Can you list out which are private Us which are public Us?(just to name some) So private Us requires this $ I see... I still don't understand what Pre-U course and so-on.. Let's make it simple by showing something like this to me can? e.g. SPM > STPM/College > Pre-U?

private uni : UTAR, Curtin University, Monash, Nottingham
public uni : UTM, UM, UTM, UKM

both uni need money, jz the matter of amount. private uni may need up to 40K per year while public uni only a few K per year.. so public uni is very very cheap compared to private.

pre-U is jz like form 6/stpm. it;s a course that prepare u for the uni that u gonna enter after u finish it. only that the time taken is shorter and it's private and more expensive.

the routes should be :
1.SPM>>STPM>>Public uni
2.SPM>>STPM>>private uni
3.SPM>>Pre-U>>Private uni
4.SPM>>diploma>>private uni

all those private uni i mentioned means it's degree level.
there is also:

SPM>>private uni

usually after spm, student will enrol into the uni for the Foundation( 1 year). after completing, they can direct go in degree level.

hope this helps~

THANKS for the reply. At least now I get a much clearer view on that. According to route 3, where am I going to study for Pre-U? In the college or the private university? What about route 4, are you trying to say after SPM go to the college to finish a diploma and then transfer to private university?

Is UTP(University Teknologi Petronas) consider a private U? If so that means I can apply to enter UTP and do a foundation after SPM? In other word, SPM > foundation > Private U?

Foundation IS pre-u. A-level IS pre-u, STPM IS pre-u.......Anything that prepares you for university IS pre-u.

The only difference between them is the standard and recognition.

Ahh that one I know. Normally where do we study for foundation? College or university? What about studying a diploma? Any difference?

Unanswered question: Is UTP(University Teknologi Petronas) consider a private U? If so that means I can apply to enter UTP and do a foundation after SPM? In other word, SPM > foundation > Private U?

That's right.
SPM>foundation>private U .

UTP is private U .

if u considering engineering course i Suggest you UNITEN ( Univercity Tenaga Nasional ) it is private U. with medium acedemic requirement and RM60k for the fees including 1 year foundation at there. Dun worry about fees u can always apply ptptn.

If you go to college to do foundation , u need at least go to other country for 1 year to complete the degree.

but if u go local U , u can complete degree in Malaysia which will save alot of bucks!!

Any prob , u can always pm me.

Wat's the choice/road after A-level science?

Almost everything.

lol..hey i wanna ask...which college offers law subject which hv twining to australia university?

Almost none. But it doesn't mean you can't apply directly to the university. You just have to do it on your own without going through a twinning program of a particular college.

Law is always a subject to be done in the UK. You may want to look into that.

wad can i do if i wish 2 study 4 a degree related 2 GEOGRAPHY?
juz curious...
anyway,i think i'm gonna take HSC nex year...

hmm.. would like to compare a few foundation course..
is A-level or SAM or Mufy beter?
i dun really see the diff between them.. kinda confused..
my frenz said he regreted going in A-level because it's too hard lol..

Don't waste your money doing MUFY, if you want to do something australian, do either SAM or AUSTMAT.

Do A-level, if you intend to do traditional courses. You may be given credits in Canada, Australia, NZ and US.

Your friend is either too lazy or too stupid to do A-level. Nothing else.

lol dont be too harsh on him. but yeah! i would suggest you to do A lvls as well.
No doubt it is NOT easy, but if u study and do your work, you will be fine. trust me.
the good thing about A levels is - it's internationally recognised and you can do almost ANY course after u finish your A levels. (that is if you're in the science stream)
And, A lvls will prepare you to face university life as well. University life is not THAT easy.

i notice most people who completes their A lvls would normally study overseas i.e. Uk, australia or us. If you're VERY sure that you'll be going to australia, just do SAM then. But, if you might wanna consider Uk or Us, do A lvls

So if i take SAM i can only go to Aus or i can go other countries as well???

I dun want to take A lvls coz its 100% end of year results and im nt fond of it..But i heard dat SAM,which is 50:50 is also tough too...

Third question: For business courses muz the person be very good in maths??

Thx for answerin my question...

I'm thinking on going for Foundation in Engineering then moving on to EE after that. What are the job prospects of this profession? Plus what are the key subjects that are needed to get into Foundation? Good place to take up this course? Where? What if I don't meet the min req to take the course? Can I go take up A-lvs then go for the degree?

Yes, you may. Don't take it purposely if you know you want to go to UK or HK or wherever.


Why and where foundation?

I'm interested in taking up EE. Going for foundation would be the best option wouldn't it?
I'm thinking of taking it up in MMU. But then the min req would be 5Cs including English,Modern Maths,Physics and Addmaths. I'm worried about my Add Maths though. I have no confidence of getting a Pass in Additional Maths. But as for the other 3 subjects I have enough confidence to say that I can get above Credit for it.

What if I don't get a C or above for Add maths?(touch wood) What would my nxt option be to take up EE? I don't see any A-Levels offered in MMU. Any advices?
