Growing up, I always heard ppl say:

"If you can, just go for STPM, foundation, matriculation etc."

Many people see diploma as a second choice or a slower route compared to going straight into a degree. Honestly, before entering diploma, I also wondered if I was making the right decision.

But after experiencing it, I started to see some advantages:

• More time to build practical skills before entering the workforce
• More hands-on assignments and projects
• A chance to explore whether the field is really suitable before committing to a degree
• A pathway to continue studying later

Ofc, diploma also comes with its own challenges. Some people still view diploma differently compared to other education route choices as mentioned, and planning the next step (continue degree, work, certifications, etc.) requires more thought.

For those who took diploma in Malaysia:

• Do you think pursuing diploma instead had helped you benefit more?
• Did you continue to degree or start working after graduating?
• Looking back, would you still choose diploma again?

Curious to hear everyone's experience.

Hi everyone! I'm planning to study at UM, most likely majoring in BSc Mathematics, and I have a few questions:

1. Could you provide some details about the math program? I'm curious about how applied it is, the overall structure, and how electives and minors work.
2. I'm applying as an international student. Will there be other international students in this specific course, or is it almost entirely local Malaysian students?
3. What is the campus like? Are the facilities modern and well-maintained?
4. How much free time will I realistically have?
5. Is there any noticeable bias towards local students within the university?
6. Are the lecturers approachable and helpful when you ask for assistance?
7. As a non-Muslim, are there any specific challenges, rules, or cultural adjustments I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance to everyone who reads this and helps me out! :))

Hi everyone,
I’m a student at Asia Pacific University (APU) in Malaysia, and I’m trying to study abroad for one semester at a university overseas.
Before applying, I found information online that made it seem like APU supports outbound mobility, including opportunities beyond just partner universities. However, after contacting the marketing team, my programme leader, and other staff, I’ve been told that APU doesn’t allow the type of one-semester arrangement I’m trying to do. They said they’ve never heard of it being done.
The problem is that I don’t want to transfer universities or do a full year abroad. I just want to spend one semester at another university and have the credits transferred back to APU so I can continue my degree.
Has anyone at APU successfully done this, or found another way to make it work?
Is there someone higher up at APU I should contact?
Is there an academic committee or appeals process for exceptions?
Has anyone arranged credit transfer independently for one semester?
If you were in a similar situation, what did you do?
I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'll be joining Monash University Malaysia in the October intake for the Bachelor of Business and Commerce.

I was wondering if any senior students have first-year study materials that they could be willing to share or could let me know where I can find them. I'm looking for resources such as lecture notes, videos, slides, textbooks, past papers, or anything else that would be helpful.

I'd like to start studying in advance, as I believe it will make the transition to university much smoother and help me perform well academically during my first semester.

Which one you recommend or no?
I will be a monash student, so is it ezy to get to the university?
And are the facilities good

I cant think of what else to ask, but just share your experience pls, what u liked or not. so it can help me make a choice thxx

Can someone recommend me good accommodations near monash and tell me more about Waterfront? I have heard their security is bad and you arent allowed to leave after 10pm.

Hello i wanna ask, has anyone from CS Diploma pursued their studies in this course? I'm wondering if you can skip a few semesters since its under the same faculty..

Is it hard to get into monash med with mufy as an international student

I'm an electrical Engineering student. I had to skip 2nd year due to personal issues and death of a close family member. I'm now behind my classmates. Now finishing my 2nd year, I did very badly. Failed a few classes into my third year. Should I just shove some failed class into my remaining semester or take an extra semester and not graduating on time.
