i've been offered biomedical science in UTAR,
but i dont know if it is recognized and whether it is good or not...
i'm soooooo troubled...
give me some advises plz...
can any senior from this course share ur stories???

I'm from Biochemistry. Basically from what I know, the Final Year student will be graduating this year. That means MQA will be doing the assesment on that course at the end of this year. It is recognized by MOHE.

The course is good. In fact, traditionally, only top students are placed in Biomedical Science (entry via STPM/Alevels). But there might be tight competition and you will see freak who are able to score full marks in their test and exams. I had seen them myself and I am impress with students from Biomedical Science.

thanks Akane and devilousangel85!!!!
u 2 have helped me a lot ~~~
no more worries~~~
u 2 sure will have a bright future~~~
^^

become 4 years course? that mean my batch will kena lor.. On May 08.. i'm from foundation at PJ there, will be in setapak in May. Ahh.. for the tough part, its been a widely discussed among my frens, and i've had a thought to drop this course, but i still convince myself to take it
Erm.. only biotech grads can become embryologist ke? I'm taking biomed, but if can i wanna be an embryologist.. possible ? 

biomedical science u go apply medicine la mangkuk. do diploma in biomed then continue in first year medical in any private UNI. if u can afford lo.

as long as u got biology background u can do Embryologist where u handle sperm everyday. sperm sperm sperm. lab lab lab. something like solitary confinement. if u hate travelling u can try la. but if u wan money only go do sales.

for IMU post grad u need to have IELTS english test. you can apply that test in any australian or english embassy or IELTS centre. its something like MUET but tougher. (if ur englihs is poor la) but if english is ok then shouldnt be a problem.

IMU u can try asking dr Khim do intro to you any good lecturers in IMU and do research there.
you can also try UPM or UM and do your masters there lo. if you can

hello juniors ..haha... how r u all? My dad sent me this link and I juz had a quick browse-thru, so I'm gonna put my 2 cent in hehe..

FYI, I'm currently pursuing 2-yr Master of Biotech (Food Science & Tech) at RMIT, Melbourne

Yeah, I was like you guyz, UTAR sux, rite? Lolz.. in terms of facilities (I mean Setapak coz I've never been to Kampar), UTAR wasn't that good and was not up to standard, I expected a CAMPUS life with balanced life style.

if u talk about academic-related skills and job-related skills (FYI again, I worked in a pharmaceutical factory for 2 months b4 I came to Melbourne) such as presentation skill which is important in presenting ideas, procedures and all sort thing when u r in work or when u wanna present your reports and discuss with other international students.. UTAR gave everything u needed Frankly speaking, I can ensure u guyz UTAR syllabuses are within international standards. I'm glad my lecturers in UTAR teached me everything that is applicable in my job and Master course in Australia. Imagine, when u're studying in a class with people from all around the world, Mali, Macau,Taiwan, China, Maritius, India, Australia, Arabian countries, and etc u may think "Oh, I'm frm UTAR, a lousy Uni, I won't b as good as others" then u r wrong! As a second-upper class grad, I'm happy with what I'm equipped with, I may not b the best in the class but I would say I am competitve enough for the Master course

the problem is the students' attitude, they were always hoping for tips, hints and etc.. low initiative to learn and to explore more abt what's happening out of the textbook or the exams, for example biotech world, new technique for vaccination such as DNA vaccination, new genetically-modified crop that can be a new source for biofuel and stuff

Ask yourself, have u done your reports, assignments, practicals seriously? Have u learnt the proper skills to write your report? do you reference or in-text ref your reports properly? What do u actually have to write for your intro, material & methods and blabla to make the whole report flows? How to do a good presentation?.. these little small things are very very useful n are goin to b crucial in the future, either u r goin to work or further study. And u're given so many chances to practice but u were complaining at that moment, which myself had neglected as well(not to say totally) LOlz... if not I'll suffer here like my friends from Macau and Taiwan, they had a hard time with English coz their degree was Chinese-medium. Furthermore, one of them DO NOT know how to do a proper referencing,it's kinda disgrace for a graduated undergrad student who should have familiarized it when she was doin thesis or some kinda project, and she DO NOT know how to look for journals and etc etc etc.. Trust me, u will get annoyed when ppl started asking u the things they should have known...

So now, take up the initiative, did your homework or researches first b4 start throwing questions to your lecturer(s). I think they will b more than happy to answer questions from a prepared student Over and out!

Cheers!

yo .. akane i dun think you get the point ?? how u can compare malaysia with other country ? smart so how? do you think our education is base on your grade or age ?? lol malaysia is using the race percentage to enter university, so dont compare our educational with other country when we change the policy, then only try to compare la
