Hi, I already have my own interest (Software Engineering) but I think Form 6 is not an option for me .
But the problem is I have 2 routes to choose:
1. TARC(Diploma)->UTAR(Degree)
2. UTAR(Foundation)->UTAR(Degree)

My dream is to work for companies like Google etc.
a) If i got an offer from Matrix...UTAR, TARC or Matrix?
b) Can I work overseas if I study in local universities?
c) Will they recognize and accept my degree?

My condition is studying in universities that will not cause alot burden to my family in terms of tuition fees.
Other than UTAR or TARC...Do suggest other universities which are well known at IT(software engineering).
Would really really appreciate all your advice...Thanks! biggrin.gif

- computer science would be the best suit for you
- budget wise, TARC would be the best option as foundation does not cover by ptptn
- if you are Chinese and you go matrix, you must pray hard that you will be able to enroll into USM penang, thats the best source to generate good programmer and the cheapest also
- if you are really got passion into it, big IT company look at the cert like an entry pass only, their real intention of getting employee is to see how creative they are and how strong is their problem solving skill. If you able to come out a prototype by your own during your uni time and it is marketable, i don't think you need to find google anymore, lots of company will be interested with your product and look into further collaboration

don't focus too much on certification, focus on skill set and focus on things that can change the world, this is what IT are meant to be

Thanks Skylee, first off
1. Why makes you think that USM will generate better programmers(I live in Penang lol), how about UTM or UM in your opinion?

Yes I totally agree skills are really important in the outside world...
2. But if i study in Tarc, 2 years of diploma would cost me around 16k+++, on the other hand, foundation of 1 year in UTAR would cost around 9k+.
What is your advice?

i have some IT friends who come from USM, their skill are good and they gave the credit back to USM a lot as that's the place they got their foundation laid

TARC diploma can entitle you for ptptn while foundation is not
and getting diploma will direct you to that specific course but foundation is still pretty diversify to plenty of different small courses
if you already put your mind into a certain course, go for diploma
