Quote from Syd G:


".........most became casualty of the killer Chemistry paper (even after repeating), so they end up doing biomed instead. "


What was it if not being tougher? Taken for granted. Monash would surely be fuming......there goes the potential medic and pharm students.

Not hard, you just need to practice a lot. But I think coming from Malaysian school, they're used to memorizing things so when it comes to application, they just couldnt do it . For some, it's a language issue. MUFY course is really short, around 16 weeks per semester, 8 weeks if you're on accelerated program. If you did high school chemistry in Arabic or Korean or in my case, Bahasa Melayu , the hill is a tad steeper

No difference between "easiness to enter" between Ausmat and MUFY. But if someday you're interested to do your course somewhere else cheaper (say, Taylor's or MAHSA ), taking Ausmat makes more sense.

Local and international students in Sunway

I think it lies on their attitude. You have to realize that MUFY is promoted an 'easier route' to Monash, so those who signed up for MUFY arent studious. Previously, a lot of internal marks were based on topic tests and quizzes. Now they changed the syllabus to include presentation and reports. One of my coursemate ended up taking double degree in Biomed and Biotech

Weird. What's the reason for taking MUFY after A Levels?


Ditto that

Not tougher. It's a mystery to us too. When I took Chemistry A, there were about 30 repeaters for the subject.

The only thing I can pin it on is the quality of teachers

local australians residents(citizens and pr's) are not allowed to do foundations......well, they can i think if they want, but the unis will probably throw their applications out....

by default, they do year 12....alternative pathways in some private schools are ib and a levels....

exceptions are made for aussie residents residing outside australia....

Apparently, they took MUFY after not succeeding to get into mbbs using A levels results. About 5 or 6 got into mbbs Clayton via this pathway.

Now I'm curious about their MUFY score

it is not uncommon for people to try repeat a pre-u to attempt admission into a critical course....for sporeans, mufy would be an obvious choice....and they should find it relatively easy after the spore a levels (note that the marking standards of the spore a level is different from those of the uk boards, it is stricter, but not as strict as hk)....

You said ".....lecturers awesome..." except chemistry lecturers?

Added on February 24, 2012, 8:16 pmDoes that mean that hk A better than sg A n then boleh A. Does the unis look it in that manner or no diff. If no diff, why we get a handicap?

Who is giving the handicap?

If hk A* is 98 n abv n ours is 90 n abv, isn't that a handicap? Something like Bumi privilege.

Yeap. Sadly.

Apparently it was almost a walk in the park.

I'd assume so, considering their academic background. They should be able to bag some subject awards in the process as well

alritey...... *slowly processing info* thank you thank you.
emmm, but the intake into the MBBS programme at the MOnash sunway campus is only in feb right?
if i were to take a-levels (an recommendation from my dad coz its widely recognised) i won't make it for the intake right?
and earlier, Syd G mentioned that MUFY results can be used to enter IMU but when i checked out their website, MUFY was not on the list of entry requirements. if i were not able to enter MBBS in Monash *if i didn't meet the requirements* can i or can i not use it to apply to IMU?

You should be able to use MUFY to apply to IMU. I know of a couple of MUFY students who were accepted into IMU. Give them a call to get first hand information.

You're planning to do MBBS local or partner medical school (PMS) ?

MUFY is under 'Australian University Foundation Programmes'. 80% average

Btw there's nothing wrong with taking A-Levels for 1 1/2 year and wait another 1/2 year to do MBBS. One should not rush into medical school, it can be overwhelming at times

alrite. will do that soon..
thank you,

I waited one whole year before getting into my course too.

i'm sorry to hear that, but my dad wouldn't want me to waste anytime at all...
the faster the better.

Why should you be sorry? I gained one year of working experience in that year.. not time wasting at all...

good for you then. my dad doesn't let me work. even while waiting 4 my results now he still doesn't let me work or anything.
