If I want to go for Business and Finance road, which root will you guy recommend taking into account money factor, acceptable factor and quality factor.

1. SPM > STPM > Local or Foreign U (for both do I still need to start from 1st year or jump to 2nd yrs?)

2. SPM > Diploma in Business (planning to join Taylor) > 2nd yrs Foreign U (Can I apply with local U?)

In additional speed will not be a factor as either way I think it will take about 4 1/2 yrs.

Currently I'm Join 1st Yrs form 6 at MBS.

Urgent advice . (diploma intake sometime around 12 july)

Depends on your budget, i guess.
and if you receive an oversea education, do you intend to come back after graduation?

If can would like to retain it between 30 to 40k.

Will i come back if I finish my study? I dun know, That really subjective to me.

Hi, I don't know if this should go here but it is a kinda FAQ for higher education.

The question is:
Is the college/uni obliged to pay the student money if they were to obtain a copy of the student's work, for exhibitions etc.? (since the works are used to help promote the college/uni)

I have came through with this before, but our college did an agreement with us, so that the artworks or works that you have done are in B&W. College can choose to pay you or not for exhibiting student's work, you have the right to ask them not to exhibit your stuff, but you will be proud that the college management would want to exhibit your stuff because of the excellency of your work.

So do I answered your question?

hey guys,

jus wana ask one simple yet stupid question lar

IF im interested in taking diploma in mechanical engineering with the spm result. what is the minimum requirement ah? i think if any of u take this course with ur spm result, how was ur spm result? care to share?
which U?

will going to education fairs and expos actually help OR just make everything fuzzier and more confusing cause everyone's trying to sell thier institution to you??

no lah

i did know from education fairs thier minimum requirements etc

im just curious what is the actual minimum requirement that can ones to attend this cours. coz i think those minimum requirement by the U's cant be use lah because maybe got too much students applied it. so, i think the minimum requirement will be a lil bit higher. thats y im asking....

most people went to education fairs with absolutely zero knowledge or interest in anything. i think this is the wrong attitude to have when attending education fairs, bcoz u will most often leave with a sense of hollowness, especially since now u know there are a bigger world out there than before. my advice is, to have a specific objective when attending the fair. some tips:

i. have atleast an area of interest.
ask ur self, what would u like to do in the future? what is the thing that u enjoy doing? in school, what are ur favourite subjects? never ask how much u wanna earn, bcoz some of the top earning jobs dont require a degree, but streetsmarts and a lot of luck like stockbroking, insurance salesperson, restaurant managers etc. ofcourse, those jobs do come with a higher risk

ii. have a budget.
best way is to ask ur parents what they have in store for u. or perhaps look at ur results/projected results and figure out if u could obtain a scholarship. the other option is to apply for a study loan. PTPTN comes to mind.

iii. have a target.
to what level do u wanna study? diploma only? straight to degree? diploma + degree with a 2-3 year break in the middle? straight to PhD?

iv. have the ability to say "no" or "i'll think about it".
this is the most important thing. some people in the education fair are so aggressive that they would wanna sign u up right there and then. although this may look like securing ur future, chances are they're desperately trying to hook u up for a certain unforeseeable gain on their part. go home with all the information u've gathered, and sleep on it. discuss with ur parents/guardians if need be. never say YES on the spot.

Added on November 23, 2007, 12:53 amdont confuse urself between minimum requirement and the minimum intake cut-off points.

minimum requirement is an absolute value that an institution will take at any given time. meaning, as long as u obtain above the minimum requirements, u will have a chance at studying whatever u're applying. lets say bcoz of war (god forbid), nobody applies the course u're applying except u. even if u're exactly at the minimum requirement, they have the obligation to take u in.

minimum cut-off point is an imaginary line where an institution set for intake. this value varies from year to year, and it highly depends on the number of applicants and the results they carry. for example, course A have 200 new places each year, and the minimum requirement is 1A. in 2006, 500 students applied, 150 with 4As, 200 with 3As, 150 with 2As. now we immediately know 150 with 4As will fill the top 150 out of 200 places. now only 50 of the 200 3As will occupy the last places. the cut off point is somewhere in the 3A level, which is pretty high.

now, in 2007, only 300 students applied, 50 with 4As, 50 with 3As, 100 with 2As and 100 with 1A. now, since all fulfilled the min req, all the 4As, 3As and 2As will occupy the places. the cut-off point is exactly at 2A. anyone below that will not get in.

now compare the two. u'll see that by average students of 2006 are creme de la creme. students of 2007 has a bunch of 2As. it is perfectly valid, bcoz all are actually qualified for the min req. this is also the same reason why we often hear "last year my friend got 1A could get into university, but this year i cannot". this has nothing to do with graphs or excellence of the exams or government policy. it's purely mathematics that any form 3 students can do.

And if i were to opt for matrix and got in it, and let say i have a reasonable score, is it possible for me to apply for overseas uni? or am i bound to local uni only?

I have a plan (or dream?): SPM -> A-Level -> Trinity College, Dublin (University of Ireland)

It sounds great for me but I know that this is a tough task. SPM will be the starting point of my dream. First, I must get good results in SPM examination. Then, I will have to get the A-Level certificate. Finally, I can go to Ireland, yeah! That is what I hope. What about you? Share your plans with me, I will be glad to know yours.

Anyway, I wonder where am I going to study A-Level. Do you have any suggestion based on my dream above?

Most probably I will study chemistry. What subject would you like to study?

Doesn't really matter where you study your A levels, as long as you work hard.

I'm doing A levels in Taylor's University College at the moment, and it isn't half bad. The fees are definitely a bit more expensive than some of the other colleges, but I feel it's worth it. If money is not an issue for you, I'd recommend Taylor's.

Anyway, the college was very helpful and assisted me when I was applying to UK universities. They almost do everything for you, though you obviously have to fill in any personal application forms on your own, as well as write your own personal statement.
