hey guys anybody knows what I need to get in Taylor's Business Foundation to apply to Monash in Australia?

It's not a twinning.Monash Sunway Campus is a full Campus of Monash University.If you transfer to Monash Australia it would be an inter-campus transfer not a transfer by twinning ^^ Just go through the websites for most of their infos.Trust me Monash's website is a lot more easier to find info than a lot of other university websites and is very detailed ^^"

Yeah you could do that.If you see some stats of Taylor's students,a lot of their SAM students always go to Monash. Monash Sunway doesn't host any foundation programs so you have to go do pre-u in places like Taylor's,INTI,Sunway,HELP etc. or do MUFY in Sunway before going to Monash for degree =)

Either way you will have to maintain good results.If I'm not mistaken to transfer to Monash Australia from UniSA you would still need a minimum 65% average.Yup there will be a compatibility problem with certain units.From what I heard the unit that doesn't get transferred is almost always microecons ^^" Doing your degree in Monash Malaysia would have a better chance to have all your units recognized unless your doing a program transfer to clayton and cauffield which the same problem might arise ^^" Last time I heard from a counsellor in IDP you have better chances of gaining admission if you do a program like Taylor's UniSA as the quota for students transferring in from other unis are higher than those transferring from within Monash but transferring from outside Monash will pose a higher risk to unit compatibilities.

If your not confident you will be able to maintain the credit average go for UniSA or maybe Metropolitan's Curtin program that's a good course too.If you are confident you can than go for Monash as might save you a lot of trouble in transferring the units you have done.

No but Monash does have a foundation course in Malaysia.Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) which is in Sunway University College.

To put it simply yes since MUFY is a Monash program done by Sunway it is fully recognized by Monash University.

You have to take at least 4 common core units and 2 electives in you first semester O.O That can't be right ^^" You can only take 4 subjects per sem or was it choose from a list of 4 common core units?Common core units are the compulsory subjects for anyone doing that degree for your case anyone doing a business degree regardless of their major.

"Open Electives" usually mean any subjects within the university from any course you like doesn't have to be business.

This is the results for entry into Bachelor of Business and Commerce from most Diploma programs



Mostly you need a 2.7 to gain entry into Monash ^^" But if you want to try applying no harm trying.Who knows you might get lucky.For english they will accept you if your diploma was done in an institution which they have approved and know are using 100% English as the language of instruction.You may have to ask for a letter from your uni stating this .They don't accept MUET as far as I know, only IELTS or TOEFL.They don't even accept GCE-O 1119 like a lot of other aussie unis ^^"

Monash doesn't accept 1119.I tried last time and they say need IELTS or TOEFL.For A-level maybe it's more because the institution they studied in which uses 100% english while schools don't fully use english even though the subjects you take may all be in english

For what course?

you don't need spec maths for business courses.Though you do need Year 12 Math or it's equivalent to go to the Business Courses offered in Clayton if I'm not mistaken.

For Engineering courses there are two intakes per year which are in February and July.

The Sunway campus has a special August intake for students from northern hemisphere programs or international students who miss the July deadline but no Engineering there.The August intake are only for these programs :
* Bachelor of Business and Commerce
* Bachelor of Arts
* Bachelor of Arts (Global)
* Bachelor of Communication
* Bachelor of Computer Science
* Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems

not all courses just Medicine ^^

Hard or easy is subjective to each person.
your talking about scoring High Distinctions possibly in almost all your subjects to get such an average ^^" That requires really hard work and great effort to achieve such results something the average person don't really get unless constant hard work and study smart is put into the equation.

http://www.eng.monash.edu.au/current-stude...ed-average.html
First class, second class upper etc. are the classification of the honours in which HI or First Class Honours is the highest while HIIB or more usually known as second class lower being the lower.Below that you just get a normal Bachelor Degree.

You need a weight average of ≥ 75.00% for First class,≥ 70.00% for second class upper and ≥ 65.00% for second class lower.

your talking about Monash Sunway or Monash Australia? If your talking about Monash Sunway, now that they have self accreditation status from MOHE,they don't need to go through MQA anymore and when the accreditation by MQA expires they can just renew the accreditation themselves and so unlikely JPA will stop recognizing their Degree and probably would go the same for Monash Australia.

JPA recognition is needed to work with the government and usually before a Degree that's offered in Malaysia is recognized by JPA, MQA accreditation is required first. Well since Monash can accredit their own Degrees without MQA now, I don't think it will ever be a problem for their Degrees to be recognized by JPA ^^

MQA accreditation or in this case where Monash can accredit a degree by themselves is only one of the criteria for a degree to be recognized by JPA. Usually JPA recognized = accredited but the other way around might not apply to certain degrees.

not really sure about that. Though JPA scholars can only go to JPA recognized programmes after their pre-u and without JPA recognizing your Degree you can't work in the public sector here in Malaysia.

you can't by regulations but nothing stopping you from doing it =) The worst that could happen if you do it too much until attendance fall below 80% I think is you will get barred from finals automatically making you fail the subject hence having to repeat it and waste money ^^ If you don't get through the subject as MQA requirements you will not be allowed to graduate from Monash Sunway nothing much ^^ Therefore don't skip too much class =)

ask the lecturer.She/He is the only one who can say if you can go out early.Honestly you don't even need to be in class to learn the stuff they teach and as long as read notes and do assignments is ok but who knows your lecturer might be strict and won't let you might put that you skip class ^^" Ask first and if he/she doesn't allow go see your programme office or something and ask are there anythings that can be done about the clash.In fact you should do that first ^^"

Inform your lecturer. Some lecturers might now let you into class or put your attendance as zero if your more than 15 minutes late.Usually if lecturers give grace period 15 minutes is usually the norm.

In most Universities and Colleges that's the standard policy.You miss a lot of class, they will give you a warning letter about barring you and if your attendance falls below 80% in their system in most places you will definitely get barred from the final exam making you automatically fail the subject.
