QUOTE(ben3003 @ Mar 9 2006, 06:39 PM) Hi, i planning to get into sg uni and taking tuition grant to support my tuition fee there. I am currently Form 5, i looking forward to biomedical engineering, biotech and petrol chemical engineering. Is there any good Uni to recommend? And where should i take my A-level if i wanted to go into sg uni? Is that getting into the uni in sg hard? It is either NUS or NTU. You can either do A-levels or STPM. yes, it is very competitive to get a place in these universities. |

QUOTE(Futurisco @ Mar 10 2006, 07:30 PM) I am year 1 in chemical engineering in NUS now. Well it's really hard to get admitted but NUS prefers A-level qualification more than STPM so you might wanna take note of that. Bioengineering is hard to get in because of the small intake (ard 40 persons a year). Chemical engineering is the hardest of all engineering to get into since the competition is so great. NTU is not easy either but their bioengineering is easier to get into though. Many Malaysian made it into engineering in NUS so it is not that impossible  If you want a easier entry to Singapore uni, try apply to Singapore Polytechnic and you will do your A-level there for ard 2 years. After that you will get into Singapore Uni more easily and you can skip the first year in Uni. All the best! why is it so? Do remember that the singaporean A-level is very different from other A-levels. So by saying that NUS prefers A-level, do you mean they prefer their own A-levels? You don't do your A-levels in a polytechnic. You get a diploma from a polytechnic. A-levels as far as I know are offered by JCs. |

QUOTE(azarimy @ Mar 10 2006, 08:56 PM) i think their preference to A-level is mainly due to the use of english as teaching medium. STPM is based in BM. couldnt figure out any other reasons though. That shouldn't be the case for engineering. The STPM science stream is in english........ |

QUOTE(azarimy @ Mar 10 2006, 10:19 PM) is it? my bad. i took form 6 in 1995 for 3 weeks in hi school klang. it was in BM back then. then i got offered a place in UTM. Didn't you know that there was a big hooha when mahathir pushed for a change in 2002? What made him do so was quite hilarious but I am not sure whether it's true or not. Mahathir visited the US in 2002, as usual some of his cabinet ministers followed him. During one of the socialising sessions, one of the minister was speaking to an American official, the official remarked, "I heard that the standard of english in Malaysia is deteriorating," Our lovable minister said, "Oh yes, the standard of english is going downer and downer." He answered within the earshot of mahathir, so that explains why mahathir came back and change everything back into english. This post has been edited by feynman: Mar 10 2006, 11:47 PM |
