As far as I can remember last time, MMU provides engineering courses and also IT, but not sure the IT domain is more on software engineering.
UTAR you have to go for one year foundation course if you're out from SPM, and 3 years degree course (B. Sc. (Hons)) For public university, will be a bit risky to get the course that you want as they got quota system and also depends on the STPM results. |

QUOTE(779364 @ Jan 15 2009, 03:23 PM) Yes indeed form 6 is the most cheapest pre-U course if compared to other similar program and in fact also the hardest among them.But dont be detered cause once you scored form 6,everything will eventually open up for you. If I'm not mistaken, Form 6 is a Cambridge accreditation, right?Plus they have this JPA local scholarship where you get RM100 per month and free tuition fee for form 6 if you scored 8A for SPM and above. Just remember to work your ass out and at least secure a good public uni.I tell you their course fee is super cheap.A 5 year medical course is only bout RM30k. Compare that to private Uni which starts at RM100k above.Plus you can get scholarship using JPA IPTA scholarship and also easily borrow from PTPTN The reason why many people hate Form 6 is because you are still bound to school rules.IPTS has much more freedom and you do not need to wear uniform. Other than that,its just the same.Form 6 result are recognised even in Singapore,Australia and US. I experienced what you did and has already moved on.  |

QUOTE(gsrc @ Jan 15 2009, 03:26 PM) I am SPM grad myself, so I'll just state my 2 cents. I'm having the same case with you, gsrc.I get into college directly after SPM (TARC by the way), and started pursuing my Diploma cert there. After 2 years I went down to KL to further pursue the Advanced Diploma cum Degree cert. And now I'm working, at just the age of 22. (Coming 23 end of this month  ) For me I'm quite grateful I can graduate without repeating.For me, I'm the kind of guy who prefer to get out there and learn the "Street smarts" value faster instead of being a bookworm and keep learning all the time. That's why I've been working part time after my PMR, SPM, and even diploma years. There's alot of perspective you can consider with the path you want to take: Money? If money is not an issue, why not just pursue a degree now? Future? If you aren't sure what you wanna be in the future, you might want to consider taking this STPM years to consider your future job. Ego? Being STPM grad makes you feel more bangga?  Or being a Degree grad at the age of 22/23 makes you feel special when you come out working?Hope that helps. I remembered working on some small projects before at DiGi/Maxis for some period of time, and there are technical staffs there who are the same age as me. Some are younger than me also. I've seen a lot of young talents there. For me, I would emphasize more on being street smart and also working experience. Nowadays economy is bad and it's not easy to get a job as fresh grad (I've gone through that process before), so I would say, it's better to graduate earlier and gain as much experience as possible.

QUOTE(sasaug @ Jan 15 2009, 03:36 PM) Terima Kasih, UTM: Joking. Here's the catch: CODE Admission Requirement Student intake for the Bachelor degree programs are divided into 2 groups, that are first year admission and the direct entry admission to second and upper year. Matriculation Programme, Ministry of Education, Malaysia (MOEM)/'Sains Asasi' (UM) I have a feeling for SPM graduates, you probably have to go through 1 year Pre-U program, something like UTAR, then on then second year only you will specialize more on the course itself.
