Thanks for the heads-up. Are there any other reputable engineering private institutes in Malaysia? Will be applying with A levels.

Oh by the way, what does the '10' mean on 'prerequisites '?

That means the minimum score you should get in your A-levels is a B-C-C.
You get 5 points for an A, 4 for a B, you get the rest.

And by the way, if you're pretty certain you want to take up an engineering course and you're pretty sure you're gonna do it here or in Australia, you may want to look at Australian Matriculation or Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) since they are 1 year courses as compared to the 18 months of A levels.

I myself took A levels, and have no regrets whatsoever about taking it, except now I'm one semester behind people that took the 1 year foundation courses.
And just in case you're wondering, you can still apply to other non-Australian universities even if you take Australian Matriculations or MUFY, no doubt about it.

The thing is, I'm kinda interested in universities from UK/Hongkong/Singapore that offer engineering courses. Yes, I know Ausmat/SAM allows students to gain entry to non-Aussie universities but the scholarships priorities are given to A-levels students right? No offence to Ausmat students.

By the way, I plan to pursue a career in aeronautical engineering in Monash or RMiT but the fees will definitely pull a strain on my parents' wallet.

Actually, the scholarships depend on the respective universities themselves. For Monash, each of the various qualifications have their own minimum requirement in order to qualify for the entrance scholarships. i.e for A-levels you need at least 3A's, for Ausmat the minimum could be 99.5 or something.
Other than the entrance scholarship, you could still try for their merit scholarships.

Hi guys, i'm new to this thread and i have some questions regarding Monash in Sunway and Melbourne. I WAS intended to do a twinning (inter-campus) in Monash. But now I am also considering to do 3 years straight away in Australia instead cos I particularly hate it when I have to make new friends and start my life all over again on my second or third year of uni.

Just hope to hear some experiences from those who either complete their degree in one campus or those who did twinning before. I understand it might have been asked before but I just wanna hear more advise and an overall recommendation. (eg: "better to do 3 years in one country [or 2+1 etc.] because ......") Any comments would be fine, no matter it's about standard of education, standard of living or social life.

Thanks in advance ^^

Hello! You're thinking of doing business aren't you. What I can say is, it all depends on you, whether you want to go there for 3 full years or do 1 or 2 years here.
But I'd say try doing at least 1 year here in Malaysia first. Now why do I say that? Then you'll have the chance to experience life in both campuses, a chance which you might not get again after you graduate.

I'm taking bachelor of arts soon, majoring in arts and communications. Any idea which campus is okay?

If you enroll as a new International Student I think they'll give you Clayton. Those other campuses are for locals and exchange students. Depending on their Year 12 results, the locals get the various campuses, as do exchange students
