i have read this thread from beginning till end.. but im still confuse regarding few things..
1. if my aim is to be an English lecturer, would that means my bachelor degree have to be an English degree? i notice few forumers here posted that they could not get a job as English lecturer as their degree is not an English degree, and it does not comply with MQA's requirements..
2. is there any way to skip master and straight proceed with PHD? is that possible?
hope experts here can answer my questions.. would appreciate all answers..
Thanks heaps..
I would like to answer Question 2 for you.1. if my aim is to be an English lecturer, would that means my bachelor degree have to be an English degree? i notice few forumers here posted that they could not get a job as English lecturer as their degree is not an English degree, and it does not comply with MQA's requirements..
2. is there any way to skip master and straight proceed with PHD? is that possible?

The answer to that question is a definite yes, provided you graduate with first class honours. A first class honours degree will open a lot of doors for you in terms of postgraduate opportunities, be it locally or overseas.
Allow me to share with you my personal experience. I did my undergraduate studies in a not-so-famous university in the form of Universiti Malaysia Perlis. It is nothing compared to the big guys like UM, USM or UTM. No way near, to be very frank. But because of my okok results, I managed to get into NUS and now I am happily pursuing my PhD over there.
So, yep...you could do that. I have a few uni-mates who did exceptionally well in their undergrad, and are now in USM doing their PhDs. If you really are passionate about research, you could try and look into what NUS has to offer.
