graduate. if i go to a JC, what subjects are offered?? is it the
usual english math sciences and humanities??
and what about poly?? i know they offer stuff like business and
engineering but i'm kind of interested in criminology.

For JC, you will need to take:
Mother Tongue, if you are not exempted. You can be exempted if
you have Higher Mother Tongue at O lvl and got at least D7.
General Paper. It is somewhat like English, just with a lot more
thinking.
Project work. You will need to work in a group and come up with
some project depending on the theme given.
Four other subjects, of which at least one is a contrasting
subject. Meaning you can have 3 Science subjects and 1 Arts subject
and vice versa. Some JCs also allow 2 Science and 2 Arts subjects.
These subjects include:
Knowledge and inquiry (Something which you can substitute
General Paper for)
Maths
Physics
Chem
Bio
Lit
Geo
History
Art
Music
Economics
and some other stuffs such as Drama which only certain JCs
offer.
The subjects can be taken at 3 levels, H1 H2 and H3 (Note that
not all subjects have a H3, and KI does not have H1). H1 is the
easiest and H3 is the hardest. You need to take at least 3 H2 and 1
H1 subject. H3 is optional and won't affect your 'A' lvl
results.
If you are really interested in criminology, I will suggest you
plan ahead and look for a reputable institute offering dip and
degree from Australia or Britain.
