You see, the basic procedure to get a degree is like this:

SPM/O-Level -> Pre-u -> Degree

Common pre-U in Malaysia: Matriks / STPM / Foundation

Matriks (Matrikulasi):
- takes about 1 year.
- the certificate is only recognized by Local Uni (a.k.a. IPTA).
- if you are not a bumiputera, u need two things to get in matriks, luck and an excellent result. (90% of Matriks students are Malays.)
- relatively easy and semester base.
- easier to enroll into IPTA compared to any other path.
STPM:
- takes about 2 years.
- the certificate is more widely recognized compared to matriks, it is recognized by both IPTA and IPTS.
- relatively hard, very wide scope and everything is determined by one examination.
- way harder to enroll into IPTA compared to Matriks students.
Foundation:
- takes about 1 year.
- a course in a university before you start your degree course.
- for the foundation of IPTA (a.ka.a asasi), similiar to matriks, if you are not a bumiputera...
- for the foundation of IPTS, this could be the most expensive path.

Beside these, you can also choose to take A-Level, which is simliar and equivalent to STPM. (Or you can say STPM is Malaysia version of A-Level.)

There is no way that you can take science subjects without taking mathematics in STPM.
Anyway, science and mathematics are somehow related in many ways, engineering, science and IT all require mathematics.

If you choose college, means:
SPM -> Diplomma -> Degree
You can stop at Diplomma if you want but please be reminded that degree>diplomma (rank).




u c...
i love bio...
and hopefully i can get a job in de fututre tat is bio related....
i dun wan to spend half of my life and my energy to do the things tat i dun like....
and somehow bio related studies r not provided in IPTA...
except for bumiputras....
