yup

Hello.
I'm asking just to get some info here.
Is there by any chance I can take something (exam or test or class) that is equivalent to NZ Hons degree here in M'sia?
AFAIK , M'sian degree is not the same as NZ Hons degree , right?
It really makes a different on the duration of studies when we want to persue our Masters there.
Thank you.

The difference between the Aus/NZ system and UK (which Malaysia uses) of Honors degree's is well explained in the front page stickie: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=18375062

I'm not sure if a Honors is really needed to do a masters in NZ through. What field do you want to do your Masters in?

haya , thanks for the link.
I've read them all and I understand.

Thats true that Honours is not really needed to do Masters , but here , I quoted from Uni of Otago web :

not exactly, that's a postgraduate diploma, not masters.

however, requirements differ depending on the type of master's degree that you want to go for

Eh , are you sure that is for Postgraduate Diploma , lilredridinghood?
But I quoted for 'Masters' there. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

So maybe they will consider someone with working experience , perhaps 1 or 2 years , to finish Masters in 1 year.
Interesting.

Generally, if you have a Honors you can go straight into a Masters by research program. People without a Honors in their Bachelor degree will go into Masters by coursework.

Then again, it all depends on the field of study you are in. Which leads me back to my original question: Massa, what field are you in, and where are you currently studying?

I see.

haya , I'm on my way to take my Degree next year. Well , I know , I'm asking this at the wrong time but I really want to know about it.

Interested in Arts.

which uni in new zealand?

Masters? Uni of Otago.

I have 1 question.....

Lets say a graduate from a Malaysian Uni in Biotechnology wants to enroll in a Masters course for Uni of Otago, from the description.....



It says a four-year honours degree, but so far Malaysian Uni's are offering a three-year honours degree in Biotechnology...... What should 1 do if he still wish to enroll in it??

Thanks for any help given........

I asked the same question too. Hehe.
Thanks to haya and lilredridinghood for their explanations.

damn.. i got better rate when i was in lcct terminal.. with cimb, rm2.0 = nzd1
maybank, rm2.2 = nzd 1,
but the downside is.
"we dont have nzd stock at the moment"

Unless any of us has actual experience, I don't think we can give you a definite answer.
My hunch is that you'll have to do the full 18 months programme, since that's the standard for a Masters programme. A PGDip is generally the taught component of the Master (ie, Masters minus the research thesis). But this is just a hunch.

You'll be better off just asking Otago directly. Get it from the horse's mouth, so to speak. An email isn't difficult to write.

But it might change. See http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article....jectid=10568764
