I am a student from UC2F1402ME, and I want to ask regarding MQA compulsory subjects:
I heard that those who graduated last year on certain month do not need to take extra MQA, which are Islam Tamadun and Ethics.
I was a student from UCD2F1209E&E and done my exam on October 2013, so right now I am not sure whether am I required to take those subjects.

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Our new campus is currently under development. It is nearby Astro / MEASAT, in Technology Park Malaysia. Phase 1 will be expected to complete in 2015.

As for our Engineering courses, all our degrees are fully accredited by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) which is a signatory to the Washington Accord. This accreditation ensures that APU Engineering Graduates will have the following benefits in countries who are signatories of the Washington Accord:
- Opportunities to register as a Graduate Engineer with Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) or the relevant professional bodies in other countries who are signatories under the Washington Accord.
- Pathways to becoming a Professional or Chartered Engineer.
- Assurance that graduates are considered as having met international academic standards for engineering practice.

Recognition under the Washington Accord allows for APU engineering programmes to be recognized by countries such as Australia, Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States who are all signatories of the accord. This allows APU graduates to be recognised in these countries for career opportunities towards achieving Professional/Chartered Engineer status or for further education progression.

For more details on our Engineering programmes, you may visit: http://www.apu.edu.my/our-courses/undergra...ool-engineering

If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have a nice day!

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

APU Foundation (Pre-University) programme is designed to help those with SPM, O Levels or similar qualifications to develop the skills and knowledge to progress into the first year of degree of choice. Throughout the programme, our academic staff will advise you on the options available at each stage of your university degree study. If you have 5 Credits in "SPM' or "O" Levels or equivalent then the Degree Foundation at APU is ideal for you because it is purposely designed to prepare you for entry into a degree in many areas of Information Technology, Business or Engineering. The pathway for Foundation is wider, for example, if you enter our Foundation in Business & Accounting, upon completion, you are eligible to go for a degree in Business Management or Accounting & Finance programmes.

As for the Diploma programmes, they are broken down in to specific areas; eg: Diploma in Business Administration, Diploma in Information & Communications Technology etc. Throughout the programme, you will be exposed to the fundamentals of the specific areas that you are in. Upon completion, you are eligible to go for year 2 of the degree within your specific study area, eg: If you were in Diploma in Accounting, you are only eligible to enter Accounting & Finance related programmes, but not other programmes like Business, IT and so on.

As for the fees, as of 2014, Foundation costs around RM18,200 for 1 year of study and Diploma costs around RM35,400 for 2 years of study. Diploma programmes are eligible for PTPTN loan, whereas Foundation programme is not eligible for the loan.

If you have any more enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have a nice day!

-I want to ask how many students are taking Banking and Finance?
-what is the average number of students in the class? (a big lecture hall or in small groups?)
-Do you guys accept Foundation In Arts Pre-U qualification from different unis to enter your degree programs?
-Do you guys have a gym?
-When will the construction of the new campus be completed?
-Is the bus shuttle service FOC?
-I noticed you guys offer many types of specialism in Banking&Finance, so let's say my friend and I are taking Banking & Finance in APU but with different specialism. Would I be in the same class with him or will we be separated? rolleyes.gif

Hi Benji,

Thank you for putting APU in your consideration. For all modules, there will be a lecture class and a tutorial and/or lab class. The lecture class will have up to 100 students per class, whereas tutorial / lab classes will have up to 30 students per class.

We do accept Foundation from other universities, however it depends on your results and the compatibility with our Degree programmes. You may submit your results to us for evaluation prior to your registration.

Currently we do not have a gym on-campus, but you may use the gym facilities located in our off-campus accommodation, if you are staying in our accommodation. Our new campus is expected to be ready by end of 2015, and we are expecting more facilities for students by then. Free shuttle buses are provided to all APU students to and from the Bukit Jalil LRT station.

Different specialisms of Banking and Finance will still have some common modules, however, when it comes to specialised modules, you and your friend will be separated according to your specialisms.

If you have any more enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Have a nice day!

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry. APU is a full-fledged university which runs Dual Award programmes under the collaboration with Staffordshire University and APU Award programmes in Engineering programmes, whereas APIIT runs UK 3+0 Staffordshire University degrees in the fields of Design, Animation, Business Computing and more.

Both APU and APIIT are under the APIIT Education Group and are located at our current campus in Technology Park Malaysia, Bukit Jalil.

If you are interested in Computer Science, you may either enter our Foundation Programme with 5 Credits in SPM including Maths and a pass in Sejarah, BM and English, or you may choose Diploma in Information & Communications Technology with specialism in Software Engineering, which requires 3 Credits in SPM including Maths and a pass in BM, Sejarah and English.

Both Foundation and Diploma will lead you to our BSc (Hons) in Computer Science and you will be entitled to the Dual Award upon graduation.

If you have any more enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Have a nice day!

Hi,

PTPTN loan only covers a maximum of RM13,600 per year for Degree programmes, and RM6,800 per year for Diploma programmes. The amount of loan entitled will depend on your household income bracket.

The March intake will be on 30 March 2015 for Diploma and Foundation programmes.

If you have any more enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have a nice day!

Just inquiring. May I know when are the Summer breaks if I were to enroll for a course in BSc Software Engineering September Intake? For this year. When will the final Exam commence and when will our Summer break start. Is it on the July until August? Or June to July. Because a friend is planning to visit this summer holidays on the July. Just wanting to confirm as it might be inconvenient for us if he were to come during our schooling time.

If I already completed my diploma at other university, and going to continue my degree of software engineering at APU, does the MUET required? Just want to confirm because when I check the entry requirement for software engineering, the English requirement is only applicable for international student..

Hi, if you intend to continue the BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering degree, MUET is not a compulsory requirement. However, if you have MUET qualification, you may submit together with your application documents as well, for evaluation.

If you would like to apply, please fill in your details and submit your online application here: http://www.apu.edu.my/webform/apply-now

Hi APU students,
Do you have the academic calendar for 2016/2017? I plan to take the Masters program commencing 26th Sept but I would like to see the exact dates of when the semester starts/ends and when the holidays are. The APU website only states the Xmas to 8th Jan holidays..

Thanks!
