okay ... i'm gonna ask a silly question .
i'm gonna be in the same class with more than 800 people ?!

i'm really interested in studying at aimst .
cause i dont want to undergo a levels .

but i've heard there's a lot of jpa scholars in aimst . is that true ?
how many approximately actually

nope... it will be around 200+ per class using lecture system..... there will be tutorial in small classes like 30+ plp per class
jpa scholar will be around 70+ if im not mistaken...

omfg. that's a lot of jpa scholars .

i'm scared to be last in class ><""

will the lecturer be able to cover all the students needs ?

yea... again that is just rough figure.. u will done fine if u study...
it depends, lecture system is kinda difficult to cater for the whole class needs. however, the lecturer is very helpful here if u have problem

okay . i went to the education fair at traders hotel today

interested with aimst .
but the only thing is , it doesn't have january intake .
still wondering what am i to do during this 3 month break .

Put the common aimst add, then collect it at student;s affairs.

hey im an A level graduate here. There is one thing i wanna ask any of u from aimst. Is there any twining program in aimst for dentistry course? I'm intending to enter aimst for dentistry in this july intake

Nope no twinning courses, whole of the programmes are done locally. And if you intend to enroll in july, you've better start applying now. These courses are very competitive, in case if you don't know. 700 students (foundation leavers) are eye-ing for seats in dentistry and medicine.

700?! WOW thats really a big number...
hey thanks for the advice...goin to dl the app form nw and try my luck. If dint get i'll go manipal.

hi, im new here..planning to study foundation in science in aimst then continue wit d medical course ther..but there are a few problem i wanted 2 ask. for the fees for medical course, we hv 2 pay by term or pay all (220k) straight? is ther any scholarship available 4 d medical course cox of some financial problem dat i faced~wen is d date 4 d april intake 4 foundation in science? hope 2 get some reply bac soon...

fees are paid by term.. not at one go.. there is ptptn loan for evryone.. rm150,000 with 1% interest... another 70k u have to self funded or from other sources... intake dates can be found on aimst website.. www.aimst.edu.my

r u a med student ther?

i think anyone intending to go for the foundation, with the POTENTIAL possibility of entering medicine/dentistry should take cognisance of one thing........there is a high chance of NOT getting selected.........some 800 foundation students will be fighting for less than 200 places (some places will be given to jpa and students from stpm/a-levels/sam etc........

so i would suggest potential students enter with the right perspective.......otherwise it can be very heart breaking.........

I guess cacing has well answered all your questions. You pay per term, which the total amount will come to 220k. And there're currently no scholarshops for the degree programme but there are rewards for the foundation courses. PTPTN loan up to 150k is available though. You could always check it out by calling AIMST or visit their website.

This in fact is very true.

yea jessica looi..

how many year have you been studying med there? and our housemanship is on d 3rd year right? so wen doin the housemanship, do we get any income from it?

Housemanship starts only after your graduation from medical school, and it's basically 2 years after your 5 year medical education which you'll be working as a 'trainee doctor' in public hospitals. And yes, you get paid for it because you're a house officer (HO) working for the government.

The 3rd year of most medical courses are called 'clinical rotations/training' where you still undergo lectures. Most of the time focusing on bedside learning. You're still a student untill you pass your 5th year final examination. Instead of getting income, you pay for your education.
