Has always dreamed of becoming a vet
applied for asasi after spm but i didnt get it so i ventured into form 6, trying all my best, squashing all my brain juices during the course and ultimately i have pointer 3.5, just ngam for the requirement of vet in upm. i know it's not high enough but still that's all the best i can give.
then upu gave me sains penternakan at umk.
i really like animals(not just talking) but certain that i would like to spend my future with them.

was like dream aint never going to come true.
my family background cant afford me to go overseas also.
so im posting here to see if anyone shares the same/similar problem and just wonder if there's might any miracle out there

thank u

previously i am very interested in dentist area..
squeezing my brain like shiat and get full A's in SPM, 4 Flat in matriculation..after that applying UPU for dentist..
u know what they give me?
Software Developer..
but here i am IT Technical Support..
and even my job is IT related, but i didnt forget to pass the biology and science knowledge to all my kolik..

Just go for it I guess. I have a friend stpm 4.0 science dint get any medic, pharmacy, etc but he got law in UM.

did u like fight for ur rights? with ur results, u can argue with them

Unfortunately vet med choices for universities locally is only UPM =| even worldwide there's not many unis offer vet med, and its a very competitive course because of limited places. (I researched because I was interested in it before)

Don't wanna sound like a let down, but realistically you should look at options outside vet med.

nope since i know that time so many students applying for dentist..
maybe its not my luck in dentistry..
i just follow along my path given to me w/out disregarding the knowledge of science that i have..

ur friend go for law then? if um, i suppose he can score 4.0 for the first 2 sems then exchange credits for another course

that's the thing. i dont know what i wanna do besides vet seriously. i can do other science courses but i know it will be school days like how i forced myself to score well in chemistry and bio. the passion is not there.

arghhh

Congratulations on your offer!

btw, have you check your syllabus?

Or if you still want to, you can still look overseas, just not the usual UK US Aus and all that (I understand the burdens of fees). Maybe widening your scope might help. I know there's a few unis in Indonesia that do vet med, though I personally don't recommend anything since I'm not sure of their quality/ campus life. Hopefully someone can help you out here

yup, i looked through the syllabus.

Do Teaching program. Bachelor of Education in etc.

so you're not pleased with the syllabus as well?
what does your parents say about this?

What I can think of:
1)Try Sem 1, then change your course.
2) Appeal to change course before you register (well, you will get a lot of "NO" for this.) If you try to change after you register, the faculty/management/admin will say you have to finish sem 1 first... then apply to change course next sem.
3) Apply next intake

Same like me.. So sad.. Haha .. Go for UGM indonesia.. Haha..

So what did you get, leah?

I'm currently thinking of preparing PhD proposal. Not nothing specific yet.

erm, my parent ask me not to waste my time and search for another science subject that will secure me a job next time. typical one.

i know umk offers vet. i thought of trying that also, but my mum ady said "u dont even dare to try"
couldnt wait till next intake
anyone of u know malaysian veterinary institute?
i once saw in an article in the stars they're offering training programmes for those who are interested in vet field. any info about that?

so u're going over to indonesia?

that's totally out of my league la.

Related to livestock industry- cows, goats and the like. Reading the website it seems like it gives a Veterinary Certificate (not a vet med degree)- and the emphasis is actually entrepreneurship (owning a business related to livestock).

Veterinary medicine requires a license for you to practice after you graduate (vet students, correct me if I'm wrong on this point). Anyway you can see the universities listed here http://www.mvc.gov.my/2b_institution.php#I to do some consideration.

Then... i suggest you to apply for Vet program in Institut Pertanian Bogor, Indonesia. (One of their premier Agricultural Uni)

Malaysians have studying vet there for decades...
It is well recognized by our govt.

On question. I'm currently doing Degree in Biotech (almost done edi) so i was wondering can i continue doing veterinary after this?

Vet is really my ambition lol got offered to do Diploma before but zzZZzzZ

Finish that first. Then continue study abroad...
Indonesia is the cheapest and nearest option.

Yeap planning to finish soon (doing FYP already next sem).

So do you think it's possible for me to study vet after this? I don't mind which uni lol as long as i become a vet

If you dont mind spending some RM60-70K for tuition fees and 5-6 years of your life... sure... why not...

Ah the current fees i'm paying lol.

Better than spending on my old dream (pharmacist 200K)

Thank you man! Now i feel motivated to finish up

Also... refer here for the tuition fee.

ya, if im going to take up programme there i might as well just accpet that sains penternakan offer. come to think of it, they are both the same.
i have ady saw that list, but still.. overseas=$$ hope to go taiwan though.

i searched the whole day for option b. seems like biomedic graduates will have a chance to work in vet field. so i might continue over there.

Y U No believe me T___T

ok UGPM

Walao weh so much cheaper than my current course. I wish i had time before i was enrolled into this degree

It's okay, it's not too late for me. Thanks cyber!

Hey why not try Indonesia? Fees only like 50K, really really cheap compared to doing Biomedic in a private Uni here.

Hye, I'm just like each one of you, been passionate in veterinary field since I was a kid. I did my diploma in animal health and husbandry in upm, bintulu did not score high enough for veterinary degree admission in both upm and umk. So I decided to work in related field, been working as veterinary assistant for almost 2 years and currently unemployed and looking for job.

I did apply for overseas uni, bogor institute of agriculture got an admission but didnt go for it, here's why, the total fees is around 50k + but the agent will rip you off around 60k++ saying it includes the first year tuition which is 44k according to the agent but its actually 12k+ so why is it expensive, the agents will be giving all kind of reason but the fact is the money is being used to bribe the indon uni for admission and cari makan. So its 44k+ and 20k for agent fees, flight ticket,visas and 1st year accomodation fees, FYI the 60k+ is only for the first year, the course duration is 6 yrs and the remaining 5 yrs you have to pay around 12k excluding yearly visa fees, accommodation, monthly expenses and so on. You might ask me why I didnt apply direct to the university, I did!! Went to bogor to sit for the examination, survey accommodation asthe uni doesnt have accommodation to cater all students. So as expected they didnt layan my application, and didnt gave an admission bcoz they cnot cari makan if students want to directly apply to the uni. Btw the teaching in bogor uni is fully bahasa Indonesia and trust me it is not as easy as bahasa malaysia.

So till date I have never give up my ambition of getting into vet school and becoming a vet, I might consider going to India as it is recognized by jpa, other reasons are bcoz its cheap and lessons are being taught in English, Plse check malaysian veterinary council website for list of recognized universities around the world, and Plse call Upm and Umk to tell your interest and your qualification as there are diff intake methods for asasi grad, stpm grad, diploma grad and those with suitable qualification but never meet academic qualifications and have enough working experience ( i'm trying for this)

So never give up, and keep on trying
