I'm a SPM 2015 leaver and just got to find out about the reintroduced diploma programmes by UTM. The programmes will be run by UTMSPACE and I'm interested with it's Diploma in Mechanical Engineering course. Anyone has any idea about the fee schedule? Thanks.

I'm UTM Diploma Mechanical grad
Happy to help

Glad they reintroduce the diploma

I dont see the reason why u need to start with diploma at this era.
Dont waste your time, straight do degree.

U probably dont understand what im saying now, once your start to join workforce, ull understand.

Good luck and all the best for your study.

Courses are taught in English right?

I don't plan on doing STPM and the probability of me getting a place in any local public uni foundation program or matrics is a little is low. I want a degree in ME from UTM, so I guess getting a diploma from UTMSPACE could be one of the best routes.

I'm fully respect any path you choose
Because all path could lead to same goal
Only the difference is the journey

Yes
The teaching medium is English

well the thing about this route is COMPETITION.

there arent many public unis offering diploma apart from UiTM and some other new/upcoming universities. UiTM is bumiputera only, and those other unis are lesser known / still new. UTM has been around for quite some time, and it's specializes in engineering and technology.

the diploma programme was stopped before because it takes the resources out of the university. we had to allocate PhD holders to teach diploma students, which they're better off teaching postgrad or at least undergrad degrees. after we stopped in, suddenly there's a surge of complaints from the public. at that point, we didnt even realize how much the public wants the path that UTM was offering.

hence after some restructuring, we offer the diploma under UTM's subsidiary to run it: UTM SPACE

it means that u're gonna be facing a lot of competition. places are limited. but every SPM leaver looking to skip STPM/matrics and go straight into cheap mechanical engineering programme will be eyeing this path. so be aware of what u're opting into.

Hey TS, I just found this thread out and things related with the Diploma in UTMSpace.
I'm looking forward to apply for it too but I wonder the result we have to fill is SPM forecast or actual result? Did you applied?

it has to be full SPM results.

Alright, so I'll only apply next week, thank you so much!

Thanks for asking that question lol was wondering about it too

good luck applying! I'll be applying tomorrow

I saw that the entry form has an option which says GCE O' Level results,
I did Cambridge GCE O' Levels last year and I also did SPM as well, got five As in O' Level, waiting for SPM results tomorrow.

I want to ask if my SPM results are not as good as my GCE results, can I apply with my Cambridge O' Level results instead?

Thanks!!

i honestly dont know. i suppose so. u should give UTM SPACE a call to confirm this.

Yay, ans today's the day! Let's hope for the best and good luck in applying. Let's hope there's chance for us to meet each other there haha!

All right thanks anyway! Will call them soon!

Hi, I got an offer to study foundation in engineering proceeding to BEng (Hons) Mechanical Eng at UTP so I took the offer.

Well, i got the offer for Foundation in Civil Engineering at UTP too, but I think Im going to reject it and wait for gov offer or UTM first. Don't want to spend my parent's money too much haha. Anyway, good luck and all the best!

Ahhh okay, I don't have much chance getting into a public Uni. All the best to you and hope you'll succeed in the coming future

I want to ask about.. if i study full time diploma in utm space ,how about degree have to study part time?can i enter utm johor fulltime degree?
