Hello. smile.gif
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. smile.gif

haya , thanks for the link. smile.gif
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 :
QUOTE
The master's degree is normally a full-time one-year programme for candidates with a four-year honours degree or postgraduate diploma, and a two year programme for candidates with a standard bachelor's degree.

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. smile.gif
Interesting.

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.

Actually, I think I've found the answer. Saw this in the papers today
But it might change. See http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article....jectid=10568764
