Hi guys,

I am a new PhD student from New Zealand who is looking to do research in Malaysia. I have Malaysian citizenship but it's been a while since I've lived in Malaysia.

This research looks at New Zealand students studying in Malaysia. I will be doing interviews and observations with them. Just wondering if anyone here knows about getting ethical approval in Malaysia and whether I would need Ethics, since the data collected is about New Zealanders, not Malaysians.

Happy to exchange information about studying in New Zealand!
Thanks

My university this semester started to implement a minimum 20% of mark from the final exam that has a 40% total marks to pass the subjects.The courseworks percentage is 60% and the final exam is 40%. Any tips?

Its freaking half of marks to get in the final exam🫠

Hello I wanted to make a group chat for those who have applied to Taylor’s for MBBS 2025 fall semester. Pls dm me if you want to be added to the group chat.

For those that have completed the interviews, what kind of questions did they ask you? Was it just questions based off of your personal statement?

Is there even one? I'm a local with a foreign diploma, planning to study at UTM (aiming for September 2025 if there's one).

My Malay is like awful so it's abit hard and confusing for me to navigate the UPU website.

The UTM website is also very confusing. Anyone help?

Just wondering?

title, if you know any please let me know its for my brother
edit: I already checked the official website but none are in Cyberjaya, but alot of the times not every institute is shown on the map

Greetings to my Malaysian🇲🇾 brothers and sisters! (Or International ones too that share the same situation)

I am not from Malaysia but I am keen in applying to a Masteral program for Psychology - online.

According to my research, there are two universities that offer this program:

1. Wawasan Open University
2. Open University Malaysia

Please help a sister out. Are these reputable universities? Any tips or recos?

Have a great day and thank you✨️

Hello, my fellow Malaysians! Currently in a bit of a dilemma and would like to seek advice from others who may know a thing or two about the options I'm considering.

I'm looking to do a master's degree in either Linguistics or English (I'm learning toward the former as it interests me more, but I'm open to the latter). I have a completely unrelated degee (Graphics Design), but I've worked various jobs in language-related fields since graduating in 2016 - copywriting, foreign language tutoring, copy editing and currently, translation - and in doing so, discovered my passion for languages.

My decision to pursue a master's degree is primarily motivated by this passion. I've always wanted to go back to school, and I love languages, so the idea of learning more about them and doing research on them is exciting to me. That being said, I do have to consider the career prospects (or drawbacks) of pursuing this path.

I have asked around and most people I have talked to suggest that I continue on to PhD and go full academic, so I can continue doing research and become a lecturer. However, none of these people were or knew anyone in academia, so I'm not sure how feasible this would be for someone with my background, and what the current situation for linguistics research in Malaysia is even like. Is this something that I can realistically achieve, given my background and, at the moment, zero connections? (Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated!)

Some in my circle have also suggested that, instead of going for something as niche as linguistics, I should do my master's in English, and if I fail to make it into academia, I can at least get the PGDE and try to make a living as an English teacher, as a backup plan. However, I have spoken to two recently retired public school teachers, and they think that it will be difficult for me to get a posting with the PGDE, which means I'll have to try and get a job in a private school, or work in tuition centers or as a freelance tutor. I don't have experience working in a private school or know anyone who does, so I have no idea what the industry is like, how competitive it is, etc.

Others have suggested that I save myself the time and money and go back to copywriting (seeing as the future of the translation industry is uncertain) as neither option (linguistics & english) have good enough prospects to justify the time, monteary and opportunity costs that this path entails.

What are your thoughts? Is there any aspect of this that I should be considering/am overlooking? Any insights, whether or not related to these fields, would be appreciated!

The title says it all

i finished my FIA program from a private college and im planning to do Business Admin degree in KL. i wanna find a MQA accredited, affordable private uni in KL area that mainly is an eng speaking environment. do u guys have any recommendations?

currently in my 2nd semester of asasi tertutup. are there way to continue my degree in other ipta? can i apply upu under the kelayakan setaraf category? i just feel like my current study place is a bit too far from home. idc about the distance, just worried about the travel cost my parents have to handle (i usually go by planes)

Hi I'm doing my spm now (batch 07) and I know my grades for my science subjects will be low but I really want to take nursing in a private university. So do I apply for my university before doing my SPMU or apply next year? (I'm asking since my friends sister apparently did her SPMU for physics and chemistry while she was in university studying in the medical field and I wanted to know if it's actually possible)

As said above if I somehow decide to study in the UK is there absolutely no way of being considered?

One of my options after spm is to go to matriks. So I have a few questions:

1. What are the official yuran for each jurusan in matriks? I heard it kind of varies depending on course and possibly which state the kolej is.
2. How much allowance I will get every month from the college?
3. Is pilihan for kolej matriks randomised???? Cuz I heard that student that live in kl got kolej in penang. So I'm kinda worried on how far my kolej will be (I live in kl)
4. Does kolej matriks have their own reputation in terms of academics and environment??? Yes I heard that all kolej are the same but I'm curious whether kolej placement is based on our spm results (either results are all credits or mixed of

both non credit and credit subjects) 5. Do u guys recommend taking the NEW jurusan sains komputer? (the one without biology amd just pure computer based course) it's a new curse I heard and my batch is going able to take it. But I've not the syllabus at all.

I'm leaning towards the idea of going into the cs field since I took cs as spm subject. Spm going end next week for me and I need to think deeply of wtf I'm going to study and where.

Hey everyone, I am a 2024 SPM candidate and tomorrow is my Biology paper, to be honest, i already know my results are gonna be mediocre as in straight up C's and maybe a D. I can give a million excuse why but truly it was because I didnt take it seriously until the last minute and by last minute i mean like studying a day before the test itself. I know for a fact that if i put a little bit more effort in i can definitely score easily. My plan after retaking SPM is to take STPM in science. And while waiting for next years SPM Im thinking of getting a job, studying early for STPM. I feel good about this plan but i dont even know if its logically possible because Im kinda clueless about everything right now

I really wanted to do STPM and continue in science some way or the other. I know it's one of the hardest exams but i still want to go for it. I know if I work on my self discipline I can do it.

basically I just want someone else's opinion, maybe theres other options for me or just anything to be honest im really lost

Any colleges with good scholarships or even 100% scholoship with a reputable ranking?

Hi, Im on my last sem for my diploma in accounting. I still havent got my latest cgpa but for now it's 3.53. Recently UPU is now open and I am interest to apply for another universities to continue my study but it is worth to spend more years into it?

Is it true accounting in UM is much harder than this two universities? Should I just hit the mark and apply it on UPU? What makes UKM also the best choice to persue my accounting degree? Help me guys!

Guys does Help uni have a debate club? If so is it active?

A little help here. Im soon going to graduate an international school in kl and im planning to go straight to uni, as im taking law for my degree and hopefully im able to take uk transfer is it better to be taking foundation in arts or A levels? I leaning towards foundation in arts as i dont want to pressure myself in A levels but will this decision stab me in the back when im transferring to the uk? What do you guys think? Need as much guidance as possible, thanks.

I am sitting for spm this year,and so far I am confident on getting 9A's out of 11 subjects registered.however,I messed up quite badly on mathematics and additional mathematics paper.The best that I could get for both paper is probably a C .I do know that both of the subjects are really crucial when signing up for UPU and scholarships if I want to pursue life sciences.

Is there still a way for me to pursue my studies? Or is there a scholarship programme that focuses more on your personality as a whole? instead of just pure academic achievements.(Got quite a good record on talent based co-curriculum)

I'm seriously thinking of stopping. Since switching from attending school to a private candidate I've been lying to myself that I'm hardworking enough to self study and get a good result, with 13 weeks left until the exam.

In these 13 weeks I'd have to cover the entirety of AS and A2 Physics, A2 Chemistry and A2 Maths and Mechanics.

I just don't trust myself at all to put in the effort.

What can I do now? Is my SPM result from June 2023 even still usable? I have zero direction right now man.

Hi. I have been accepted to Universiti Kuala Lumpur, and was wondering when the summersemester starts and ends. Thank you!

Hey!

So i have creative cloud plan which has almost every adobe app, AI generation 1000 credits every month, acrobat pro + ai and what not

I bought it 1 years ago for acrobat pro for my business and photoshop, i feel like its going to waste.

How can i put it to good use? Its a bit pricey so (it may sound funny) is there any way i can make up for it? Like learning a niche software (like adobe animate?) and earn from it?

Question: Is this the right decision?

M26. Currently taking Civil Engineering Degree (4th year). Have Diploma in Civil Engineering.

I planned to quit my Civil Engineering Degree and take Computer Science. The only reason I stay in Civil Engineering is because i want to see how far I can go and hoping I can LOVE civil engineering but I still cant find that passion. I did very badly in structure (concrete and steel). Even in diploma I'm the slowest when it comes to structure. Managed to get better thanks to my intership experiences as site supervisor (Diploma) and Drafter (Degree).

I do not hate civil engineering, I just cant find the passion needed to push me. Now I have this tall wall that I cant climb which is Steel Structure with more than 50% failure rate in ever class. My latest exam I only scored 3%. No matter how much I learned and practiced I can't pass the exam.

For IT/CS. I used to hate it. I remember having IT class in high school and scored less than 5%. I dont see the point of learning those. When I got addicted to gaming during highschool, some things led to me learning English and Japanese language, 3d modelling, video editing, various software, pc building, etc. Even during my Diploma and Degree I found myself having the most fun learning anything related to that and can easily score A.

Been thinking of changing course since Diploma and the first semester of Degree but I just keep trying. Now I have made my decision to drop this course and apply to Computer Science. With passion I can at least set goal like scoring A, maybe consider taking Master's Degree. In civil engineering my aim was "I just need pass".

I might be wasting money and time, but to me that knowledge in civil engineering will be useful in the future.

As the title suggests I'm a student currently applying to APU,Sunway,Taylor and Monash University. Im curious which would be better Job prospect wise etcetera. the strength and weaknesses of said universities.

I'm currently using a laptop backpack, it only has one compartment and one small pocket in front which makes things a bit congested.

thinking of transferring to this course later and just wondering if the job opportunity is good for marketing
