I've been wondering, I know that USM accept A-level students, but what are their criterias? Do they not get most of their applicants from Form 6?

Most of their successful applicants are from matriculation if not mistaken. I happen to be one of the lucky ones that got it with Cambridge A-levels hence leaving for Kelantan soon. Just give it a shot and who knows, you might just be lucky enough Do involve yourself in co-curricular activities and volunteer work. If you're selected for the interview, prepare yourself with info on dentistry and USM.

Alright, thanks! btw, which institution were you from previously?

TarC ;p

i know of one russian dental grad practicing in kedah.

SEGi University College student here...

tuition fee : 306k
intake date : 10/9/12

quite pricey for such a newly introduced course.. hows study life there? good facilities?

The dentistry course is starting in 2 weeks time. So, I haven't got a clue about the study life there yet.. but the Dental Facilities and Equipments i saw on the day of interview is 'quite ok la', at least they got dental simulation lab and molding lab..

Environment-wise, 1 thing I can say is the whole campus is filled with people, very crowded. U can see groups of ppls gather around the hallway and chit-chat for almost all the time! But diff story when u are inside the dental faculty...

Well that's all I know abt my Uni for now! hahaha

306k can get u master in engineering course liao...

btw roughly how much can a dentist earn per month? i dont think so malaysia can earn that much compare to oversea, such as Australia and Singapore..

306k? wat the ..... I prefer u go for quality 1 like MMMC juz 260k, 2 yrs local 3 yrs oversea. SeGi newly launched this programme, it is not master yet.

but i prefer to finish the course in Malaysia than overseas.. Another factor is my result which is not that good, ABB only Therefore, it is very hard for me to get the NOC letter which is a must for overseas studies.

All dental courses offered in Malaysia is not master what, just Bachelor Degree?

as a fresh student who hasn't even started, how do you determine that?....

and btw, the quality of a dental school is not judged by their hardware.....

you do NOT need the noc if you enroll in a quality dental school overseas....it applies only to some countries known to take in mediocre students with money....

nobody without aaa (atar>95, cgpa matrik 4.00) at least should be doing medicine/dentistry.....they fact that they take in abb, is already indication of the potential quality of segi......

in that aspect, none of msia's ipts med schools are of any quality, as they all take in people with <aaa/atar95.....with the possible exception of the imu-pms programme, with a minimum requirement of atar95/aaa......

if there is any dental school that does not have those, they need not bother calling themselves a dental school.

if your result so lousy, you still want to be a doctor? serious ar?

I'm not judging the quality of a dental school by their hardware.. just replying someone's question about the facilities in SEGi dental faculty. Yes as a fresh student who hasn't even started indeed i don't know much abt it, but i went to AIMST (which is famous for its dentistry course) and see their faculty before. So, by comparing AIMST and SEGi, i see no different in term of their facilities just that AIMST has more seats than SEGi.

Seems like the only Uni with quality is IMU, but then for Malaysian students who don't have at least HALF-A-MILLION in their pocket, how is it possible for them to pursue their dental dream?

Added on August 30, 2012, 8:15 amI admit that I didn't do well in my A-Level... But now i will study real hard in dentistry because i know that this will affects my future and my Patient. Moreover i think that dental is all about skills and patience which we cant learn just from reading books.

I said that "Master" not talking about Master degree, is meant Segi juz newly launched this programme to students, even they do have advanced equipment, but the syllabus and lecturer are all new in teaching dental in Segi, they do not have much experience on dental education industry yet. So if compare with others college / university / institution, Segi is not recommended.

well, then i think you have to think again. I know too many lousy graduates from lousy universities who take in lousy students.

and thank God you'll only have one patient (if you ever graduate). Good luck.

FYI for those in UCAS cycle 2012, clearing spots available for internationals in QUeens U Belfast. Call up.
