There are a lot of cheap tertiary and twinning courses in
malaysia. If you are malaysian citizen, you pay as low as RM50k for
bachelor degree with Nottingham university (they have a campus in
selangor). They also have a curtin university campus in sarawak.
There are plans to build a heriott-watt university campus in KL.
There is a medical college by Manipal university of India in KL
too. In Sunway, there is a monash university campus.
Then there is this unitar, set up by the MCA. A lot of unitar
mech graduates go to singapore to work these days.
Why study in singapore when you can enjoy the lower exchange
rate in malaysia?
No offence, but there were a few negative reasons which I
heard why not much people go to Malaysia :
1) Security : A few of stories like snatch robbery
always happen along the causeway, and it is also not safe to
even go to shopping at night.
2) Accreditation : Strangely "local" people will score
very well even if their attendance is "up and down". (Due to
what happen to that NTUC "lady", I would not be too direct
here.)
3) Employer : It is well-known that in Singapore they will
give priority to local university student, even if private student
are accepted, they will not be well-paid than local U students,
overseas degree would be depend on "case-by-case basis" after local
U and local private degree holders.
If TS is interested, your best chance is to study in NYP, but
the last time I heard, one of the requirement is you need 2-3 years
working experience than you can apply for WDA 's subsidy,
otherwise you can choose to go for MOE subsidy : http://www.nyp.edu.sg/professional-development-centre
If you choose to study part-time in Ngree Ann Poly, in
case your Nitec GPA cannot make it, you just have to
pay about $20 to take their entrance tests, and their poly
is shortest time to complete their part-time diploma in 2.5
years, but also "siong" because this mean that you might need
to take 3 lessons per week and I heard their lesson started
from 6:30 pm to 10 pm ? Do do take notice that when you rushed for
classes, you bound to be late due to traffic jam or human jam in
MRT and of course not to forget if your Remedial Training for
failing IPPT will also affect your lesson. Hope all
these help !
