QUOTE(michaelting90 @ Dec 25 2013, 07:26 AM) I have heard of people getting offers from Imperial and King's using Matriculation results, but it's for courses that I didn't even know existed. Never heard of surrey, but I do know southampton (a.k.a soton  ) has a campus in Iskandar JB. International students do tend to pay more though.. What sort of courses are we talking about here? I am inclined to think that no course at Imperial is 'unknown' since the university does not offer many courses to begin with! |

QUOTE(piano_freak @ Dec 25 2013, 07:02 AM) good uni wont give a damn on matriculation. surrey? southampton? lol? do these unis even exist?? r u sure u wanna pay 1 million to attend such school ?might as well go UM UKM to study.... No need to be so mean!  Surrey and Southampton are all right universities though I agree with you on the subject of financial feasibility. I wouldn't spend RM 1 mil on a degree from Surrey or Soton. |

QUOTE(michaelting90 @ Dec 25 2013, 04:23 PM) Not sure what course for Imperial. But for King's something like neuroscience. I see! I haven't heard much about KCL's neuroscience programme but I would like to think it is quite all right given the reputation of the university. |

QUOTE(SWORDZ @ Dec 25 2013, 05:23 PM) Really? Who says? Getting A* for 4 subjects are quite tough. There has been a lot of talk in the UK about revamping the A level syllabus to due perceived inadequacies in terms of addressing the knowledge gap between secondary and university education. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/secon...ent-review.htmlMoreover, top UK universities such as Oxbridge and Imperial had always advocated the use of admissions tests in favour of using only the A level results as a deciding factor for granting offers. I am not surprised if the other UK universities decides to follow suit one day. Also a growing sentiment on the declining standards of UK A levels can be detected from the general views of the UK public. Hmm, I wish I could pick out articles to corroborate my claims but I can't seem to find them!  |

You are absolutely correct. The distrust stems from the very reasons you listed here. It will be very interesting to see whether Gove's revamp of the A level is able to address this.

QUOTE(Karxl @ Dec 31 2013, 10:25 PM) So, is this post saying that we can apply overseas with matrix? Btw, can anyone tell me which is better:  Form 6 (my choice), A-level, foundation Yes. To a selected few universities that is. I'd say A levels of course if one has the financial muscle for it. Then again, I am biased. I did A levels.  |

QUOTE(podrunner @ Dec 31 2013, 11:41 PM) It does seem to me lots of labour-ish lazy sods are very against the revamps. Hehe. Really? I read that quite a number of school heads are against it but I will take your word for it. |

QUOTE(BravoZeroTwo @ Jan 1 2014, 08:46 AM) Hi, Is having STPM qualification face obstacles to enter competitive faculties ? Thought STPM same level with A Level ? thanks. It is the 'same' so no worries there. However, the general consensus is that it is much easier to score good grades for A levels than STPM. |
