Admission Standards
Entry to three-year Diplomas is based on the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (Malaysian Certificate of Education). Conferral of the Diploma can lead to advanced entry to some Bachelor Degree programs.
Entry to Bachelor Degree programs typically requires at least a Grade C (2.00) in General Studies and two other subjects on the Malaysian Higher School Certificate (STPM). Students must also have a pass in Bahasa Melayu in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and a Malaysian University English Test Band Level 1.
At public universities, an Honors Degree with a high level of academic achievement is required for admission to Master’s programs. At private universities, a Bachelor Degree or equivalent, such as a professional qualification considered to be at Bachelor Degree level, is required.
A Master Degree is usually required for entry to doctoral programs.
