Why did they remove the page about the undergraduate scholarship? Not offering it anymore ?

here is some useful information to those who have close relatives/siblings studying/planning to study in australian monash campuses (the sunway campus is not applicable AFAIK).


mine has just been approved today. in this case scenario, the one who is paying the higher tuition fees, will automatically receive a 10% discount of the total tuition fees.

Man, assgs are flooding in like mad ........

Anyone applying to Monash thru Credit transfer? Considering joining Monash after my diploma..Any minimum CGPA requirements?

business school is great ^^

usually transfer they will see ur pre-u/spm... then how many credit points will depend on ur diploma

I think it's a great sch. So far I don't have any unsatisfactory with it.. Although we have many assignments to do. But if you compared to the science students, we are considered very lucky.. coz their workload is much heavier than us. Hmm.. so far so good. I would say that you need to join some clubs, so that you have other activities and meet more new friends besides studying. It will make your uni life more fun.. :-)

u r in business school?

hows the quality of students there? lol

Thanks. hehe..

I doubt that. public universities in malaysia are most selective, means the crappy students won't get in even though they are rich and have loads of money, unlike private universities in malaysia where most you can get in if you have money no matter how bad or good you are because that is one of the purpose of their existence, which is for people in malaysia to get education when they can't enter public unis nor go overseas. I'm not saying Monash is bad, just that Monash Uni in australia is considered as a public university, and it is a very reputable public university in aus, which is i think should be quite selective and not based on getting profit. But in Malaysia Monash is considered as a private university as it doesn't run with the government of Malaysia, and for a Private University to run, especially because it needs money and Monash Malaysia is still new so it needs to survive, means the crappy students with crappy marks that are rich also can get in, so you can imagine what kind of people is inside there. That's why I do doubt the quality of students there. If you're saying they are better than other PRIVATE colleges in malaysia, then you're probably right, but then still, private universities is about who has the money to go in, not really marks, cuz marks as long as you meet minimum requirements 2.0-2.5 and you have loads of money you can get in already, and that's quite low, that won't happen at public universities though, 2.0-2.5 cgpa don't guarantee you an admission at reputable public universities in Malaysia. The only difference is that public universities in malaysia have excellent students from different social classes, so you have the kampung girl who got straight As, a guy from rempit family who turned smart and got a scholarship, some chinese pasar malam tauke's son who managed to score himself in, some indian farmer's son who studied hard to get in...means you'll see different types of social behavior and attitude that probably makes you go "Eww..." and think the quality of students there are low standard, but think about it, smart people don't always come from rich families and those people are not as lucky as everyone else. The standard of students at Monash Malaysia will never be as good as any high-ranking public universities in Malaysia until Monash Msia become really selective in their admission and don't let people below 3.0 cgpa to get in easily, which is never gonna happen, in current time because Monash Msia seriously do not have the application essay requirement like US universities to see how smart these 2.0-2.5 cgpa or below 3.0cgpa students really are and the university still needs to survive its early years here in Malaysia.

Added on April 12, 2009, 3:39 pmI've seen the list of clubs thanks guys.

Btw, No ice hockey club? lol. Monash sunway is near sunway pyramid and they have an ice hockey club there where they train and play at pyramid ice rink. Would be cool if Monash can have one since Australia is an ang moh country and ang moh country usually got ice hockey lolz.

1st of all... if u r talking about straight As student... most of them are already filtered out with scholarships (petronas/jpa) during their spm/stpm

2nd... in general, well off kids (middle and upper class) do better in their studies... of course top 20% percentile of poor kids would be on par with top 50% of better off kids... whether u like it or not, well off kids have more advantages

3rd, what makes u think these poor kids wont opt for private unis' scholarships n instead attend public Unis?

4th, public unis are diluted by matriculation stuednts and we all know the standards of these kids

5th, u think monash in msia is easy? yea.. easy to enter... after they suck ur $$$ during the 1st 2 years n if u cant cope they will still kick u out.. that's their method.. win win situation for them..

6th? excellent students? come on ... u gotta be kidding me... if u r talking about the top 10% public uni students.. then yes, these kids will do well no matter what they do.. d rest?

1. Well here's the thing, you never say your statement clearly, so I probably didn't have the motivation to either, but here goes man, be ready for it, there are also those whom are 4As - 9As that don't get those scholarships and are considered excellent students and some of them may have excellent extra-curricular background as well and some might be state and national athletes too. Especially those that are non-bumiputra because the scholarships are given a little more emphasis to bumiputra, so there will be some non-bumi and a few bumi that don't get it. Whats most important is that those 3As to No-A-at-all students don't get in public universities.

2. Looks like you showed how selfish you are, just because you're rich you are now discriminating poor kids. Poor kids have a harder life and it is even harder for them to score in their studies because they need to help their family to get money for food and shelter while you stick your butt at home playing dota and have everything spoon-fed at you until you become a guy that think he is the best people in the world and not realizing it is because he was BORN rich which made it easier for him to get success.

3. Haha, here's the thing man, you contradicted yourself there. First you said poor kids don't do good in their studies because they're poor, now you're saying what makes me think poor kids don't get scholarships? Well, since majority of poor kids don't do well, not all of them will get scholarships. Think about those who get 10Cs for SPM.

4. Again, you say things out of thin-air, just like in the other thread about MMU vs Swinburne, and people are already complaining about you. What is the proof that matriculation students have some kind of standard that you're talking about? For what I know they don't accept everybody inside the matrics, only the good ones. My friend got 7As for SPM and he needed to APPEAL to get into matrics, and he is a malay, imagine that, not that easy. My sister used to be a matriculation student as well and now she is a doctor, graduated from an overseas university, people at the hospital are praising her for her work.

5. Dude, in public universities, for like courses like medic and engineering, you need to get 4.0 to confirmed to STAY in and not get kicked out. Even 3.8 is dangerous already and you might get kicked out. Monash is like what? 3.0 and above to stay in? what you're saying about monash isn't true and out of thin-air, just as usual, you know why? you wanna know why? because monash still needs to money no matter what, they NEED those students for the survival of the university for the time being, so they won't kick students like public universities does. Public universities don't need any profit from students, they don't run on student's money, so they can kick the lousy ones anytime. My dad is an education officer dude so I know, take that.

6. Public universities are very very selective in the process of admitting students, especially those high ranking public universities, because there's not much space for everyone here, so they need to get only the best people. So whatever it is, I have already said it, at least public universities won't have all those Fail students or C/D grade students getting in just because they're rich.
