Choosing The Right Degree
If you have decided that undertaking a degree course at a Malaysian University is the right path for you, then there are two important decisions you need to make next: – Which undergraduate course to study – Which university you would like to go to In this section, we look at what you should consider when deciding which degree course to take. With universities now offering hundreds of different subjects, it all may seem a little overwhelming when it comes to trying to narrow it down to the one most suitable for you. Of course, most universities offer joint degrees, allowing you to take a combination of two subjects. Still, one way or another you will have to reach a final decision at some point, so we recommend you research the following for each course you think you might like to do. What qualifications do I need? Whichever undergraduate programme you choose, you will normally be expected to have a minimum grade in SPM and STPM or A-Levels, or equivalent. Some courses require you to have at least a C in Mathematics, so make sure you have this under your belt before you make any more decisions. So make sure you do your research thoroughly and prevent cutting yourself off to degree options you think you might be interested in. However, if the courses you are considering do not require you to study any particular level subjects, think carefully about how the subjects you take could improve your chances of being accepted on to the degree programme. For example, if you wish to do a degree in Media Studies, you will stand out as a stronger candidate if you take IT along with a couple of creative subjects such as English and Art, rather than taking Maths |
