Hi. I already joined the application for june intake and got a place for Foundation in Management in Cyberjaya. I still haven't confirm my place. For UPU I was offered uniSZA's Diploma Kewangan and I secured a place in Kolej Matrikulasi Kedah. I'm pretty sure I don't want to do matriks.
Unfortunately the Uni that was offered through UPU is not my choice, and I'm quite doubtful to do diploma and insisted on doing foundation in MMU. But after some talks and browses on this forum and elsewhere I heard that it's better to do a diploma. So now I'm getting a hell of confusion right here.
Finance-wise, of course it'll be a whole lot cheaper to do diploma rather than foundation, time-wise foundation would be a faster route to completing a degree.
1. Why should I choose to do Foundation rather than diploma?, or vice versa
2. Are there high chances for privately-fund Alpha students to get full scholarship from yayasan tm or others to continue in degree?

1. For me, it doesn't matter about diploma or foundation. What's important is what are you studying. You are offered diploma kewangan and foundation management which are just the same I think. So why not you just do the foundation if you don't mind to pay MMU fees. Plus, MMU has better ranking than uniSZA.
2. Yes there's scholarship from TM, MARA and others. You just have to make sure you study hard to get it. There's also ptptn. If you get amazing result, you can convert the ptptn loan to a scholarship.
