Title: Studying in Malaysia - Enquiry :)
Post by: batoool on April 23, 2011, 09:16:50 am
Good morning/afternoon,

Hey all :)

I'm an Igcse student studying in the United Arab Emirates..
I'm planning to get high scores in my Igcse Exams and then start university studies.
I chose Malaysia due to best costs.. I also read that the studying level in there is high

Anyway,
I want to know what universities in Malaysia would accept igcse certificate(without completeing my A/As levels)? if anyone has information about studying there please tell me and rate studying there please :)

thanks a lot

Some of my relatives study there and they say it's very hard since they studied the Arabic curriculum if you get what I'm saying.

It's really good ,the cost is very reasonable and in terms of academics it's pretty good . there is the IIUM in case you're a Muslim and want to live in a sort  of Muslim community and it has a lot of Arabs there besides other nationalities of course including the Malaysians .

I'm talking about this university specifically since that's the top most rated university in Kuala Lumpur .

If you want to know then you should contact the university yourself like I did when I had certain inquiries.

I heard that you'll be taking foundation year if you went with your Igs only , but as I said contact them yourself.

Here's their homepage:

I hope I helped :)

Monash University is actually based in Australia but it has a branch in Malaysia as well.

NOTE : The cost for Monash University compared to the other universities in Malaysia is extremely high.

I'll advice you to complete your A-levels first. this will be for your own good ;)

It is awesome dear and if you can afford it, ten seize the opportunity ;)

But I think you'll be needing full A2, depending which courses you intend to take :)

honestly i am not sure whether they accept IGCSE. is it the same level as the o levels? if it is I dont think you can? cos they would want you to hold at least an alevels or equivalent. Monash University has a campus here known as Sunway Campus. It is more expensive than other universities that are available in malaysia. but it is a foreign based  university and its definitely way cheaper than doing it in Australia.

Yupz........IGCSE are almost equivalent to O-levels ;)

I was pretty sure A-level was required and now you confirmed it :D

Yeah........I've heard about it but still it is expensive for some people ;)
