my brother is currently in 5th year at UWA...
he says it depends...if u are smart and hardworking then should be no problem,but u must also work hard to at least pass...1 of his fren, SPM all A but fail during the 4th year and have to go back to m'sia...

hello to all senior here i just wanna to ask any one of u who took diploma in engineering then go Australia to continue degree? Is it advisable to do so?

Problem is depending on what uni you are transferring credits to and from. But take note, Eng here is 4 years, unlike UK.

hey currently in school typing this. I'm studying Year 12 in Brisbane, Queensland. Anyone here doing high school in Brisbane?

yea, like what sesshy said, check out the credits transfer thingie... who knows some uni wont even accept it and will ask you to redo...

If you can afford to do all 4 years in Australia, by all means take that path. Twinning programs suck because the standard of local colleges is so low and you will struggle big time when you go to Australia, especially for engineering.

did that. am now in UQ.

and i concur

Quacksilver may I know where u do your diploma? Any recommendation?

did my diploma in mechatronics in inti college malaysia. and if you seriously want to do the engineering course in australia, i suggest that you do your SAM or A levels whatsoever and start from year one there. its better that way as you'll get a solid foundation if you do so IMO

Another fellow former ICM engineering student. I did computer engineering at ICM too. when did u graduated from inti?

QuackSilver and nerd nation, may i know how many years u study for your degree at aus uni after the completion of 2.5 years diploma at inti?

You are totally wrong dude
Study locally in Monash is better than in Australia, Australian lecturers dont spoon feed you which means u must go and do research yourself.. it's not the same in msia, those lecturers actually give u detailed notes and you really dont need to go to library and do research.. i know because i went through the path, so, personally i think study locally is better.. i prefer local.. it's my opinion though.. Trust me, You will struggle In Australia than study locally.. last time i had an average of 89 out of 8 subjects in year but when i transfered to aussie( Same amout of time studying) i only able to score an average of 84.. wtf..

huh..............you still wanna be spoon fed at uni level?......................

no wonder people complain about the quality of local grades...........

Dude, spoon feeding is what that is destroying the local education standard. Employers don't want graduates that were being spoon fed all the while. When you go to work your boss wont spoon feed you anymore, no one will care about you anymore. Overseas education prepares you for the working world, for the industry. But local education prepares you for the exams. Yes you just have to memorised what is written on the board, and during exams you just throw everything out. Yay you get distinction! But remember, research and understanding is what it takes to make you learn.

am still in UQ lol

errr, are you out of your mind? you still want to be treated like a kid like being given notes?

and if you dont experience a little bit of struggle, instead living off comfortably, will you be able to learn much? i highly doubt so

if i were going to go to australia after my diploma in electronic engineering, and let's say i;m accepted there, which uni doesnt require IELTS or TOEFL?

they ALL needs ielts or toefl..........proficiency in english in obviously necessary there..........

sigh.. some of UK uni doesn require any of them as long as i meet the minimum requirement of 3B in O-Level english ( SPM 1119)

just go sit for it loh..........for technical courses, i think they only require band 5, not difficult to get lah...............
