Hi guysss, I am SPM 2014 leaver. I m very confused, puzzled and in a deep dilemma right now. I found that Aimst is quite affordable for me to study medic/pharmacy there, and for UCSI I think my parents would be a bit stressed but still Ok unless i hv partial scholarship offer . Anyone have any comments regarding the medical faculty of Aimst and UCSI?Which's better in terms of quality of lecturers and facilities(e.g. medical equipment)? Do these two unis have human cadavers for their medical faculty?

1) AIMST in Kedah
~foundation in science: 11k but hv scholarship offer 1k(no terms and condition), so total tuition fee is 9.8k
~living cost (for each semester) : RM530 ONLY !!!!!
~MBBS : 285k ptptn loan: 150k
~Pharmacy : 108k ptptn loan: 68k
~dentistry : 285k ptptn loan: 85k
***NO scholarship for degree programme

2) UCSI in KL
~foundation in science : 19240 but scholarship offer around 9k(terms and condition: have to maintain CGPA of 3.0 in every semester), so TOTAL fee is 11067
~living cost i think around 1k every month, right?
~MD : 317k ptptn loan: 150k
~Pharmacy : 143k ptptn loan: 68k
***Scholarship applicants for MD and Pharmacy must pass an admission interview and gain average CGPA of 3.8 result in foundation in science~Successful applicants hv 10-30% partial scholarship offer. Is the admission inetrview difficult??

I heard AIMST is dropping and most of their lecturers hv left UCSI fee is a bit higher I m really really at a loss now

After QIUP hv produced their first batch of medic graduates, their medical course sure get full accreditation by MQA and MMC?? How`s the quality of lecturers and facilities like medical equipment there? Are you QIUP medic student?

Hello, I hv seen ur comments in several posts related to medical school. May i know where re u studying or graduated from? I really need help i m at my wit`s end now. What do you think about AIMST and/or UCSI? Which one you recommend in terms of quality of lecturers and facilities?

Thanks for ur advice ya I wake up to reality already^^ If I choose UCSI, what do u think? Am i taking a risk or taking a chance? == bcoz the fee is a bit high. I m afraid that my parents can`t afford the fee unless i get the partial scholarship offer. If that time my parents really can`t afford it, i think i`ll choose biotechnology. How`s the career prospect and salary of biotechnology? Do you know the quality of lecturers at AIMST and UCSI?

Thanks for ur advice too....UCSI is only affordable if i get partial scholarship offer, not knowing i can pass the admission interview and scholarship interview as well as CGPA of 3.8 or not If i choose UCSI, seems like taking risk, right? How`s the quality of lecturers at AIMST and UCSI? How`s the career prospect of biotechnology?

Actually, the reason i choose Mbbs/ pharmcay is that I wish to work in hospital or clinic. But i don`t know my strength of will can help me go through all the difficulties or not == I don`t know i can make it or not really puzzled... How about the biotechnology and its career prospect?

Hey, i also got that brochure and i called their hotline last week. The person who answered the phone was a doctor named Dr. Ho. He suggested me to study in Russia but hv to pay RM3000 first to "confirm" that u ll get a place in degree programme there......and the flight to Russia cost RM1000 already == The most important is that not sure this agent — Dr. Ho can be trusted or not ==

sorry...what is ho? I also feel that pharmacist is saturated already.....but for md, after practise internship in gov hospital, can still choose to continue my doctor job at that hospital, right?? How about biotechnology and its career prospect?

I don`t know.....He juz recommended me to study in Russia..... maybe the uni there is top-ranking uni ==

Hey, nice to meet you....on Lowyat net Is there any problem to do clinical training in Terengganu? Not only u, Dr. Pagalavan also mentions /highlights that UCSI medic students practise clinical training in Kuala Terengganu SP stands for Sungai Petani, right? Juz now i called the AIMST consultant and she said clinical training will be done in kedah while for the housemanship we can choose any place we want like Sabah, Sarawak, perak, kl......

Yesterday, I asked Dr. Pagalavan about AIMST and UCSI, and he recommended AIMST bcoz it is more established There re lots of his posts related to medicine, and you want me to read all his posts?!

MAHSA is good ....but the fee is quite high....For SEGI and UTAR, their MBBS are not recognised by mqa and mmc I never heard MSU.....can u tell me more details about MSU?

sorry i m not interested in chiropractic but anyway, thank you for ur suggestion

So, thats why I didn`t apply it.......now i decide to study in AIMST, but my parents not approve i hv to persuade them to let me go....haha

Juz now, chiahau mention MSU.....what do you think about MSU?

Besides, UTAR MBBS is not recognised by mqa and mmc
