Things You Must Check Before Accepting the UPU Online Appeal Offer

Congratulations to those of you who were successful in the UPU ONLINE APPEAL application. However, before you agree to accept the offer, here are some things that you MUST check first before accepting the offer to ensure that the decision made is correct and you do not regret it later.

Programmes of Study Offered

Are you interested in the programme offered by the UPU Appeal or are you still unsure if it's something you are really passionate about? If you are confused, you can read through our articles that describe course and career options based on your MBTI personality type. We have it both for  introverts and  extroverts. With that being said, you will be able to determine what's best for you and look into the long term. We don't want you to merely attend classes and study a course you are not interested in just to struggle even more when you enter the working world. 

On top of that, we have an article prepared for you on whether or not you  should accept the UPU appeal offer in a course you are not interested in?

This is because we are aware that majority students get themselves into courses they are not interested in just so that they could study at a public university, especially since it is considered superior in terms of education quality by the majority of the society. Here you will get to decide what should be your true priority for a bright, happy and successful future.  

To find out more about courses worth pursuing, check out these articles:  What are the most competitive courses to enter public university,  most popular courses searched by students in 2020 and  courses that will guarantee you good jobs post pandemic. By exploring these articles, you will find out the most relevant and most in demand courses that will assure you employment after graduation. 

Job prospects After Graduation

Does the program of study offered have a wide range of employment opportunities after graduation? We would just like to remind you once again that pursuing a course without knowing your direction and career opportunities after graduation will only backfire you in the future. 

Not only does it consist of numerous negative consequences, you need to remember that you will also be investing quite a huge amount of money in education, be it in public or private universities. You will be tied to education debts and to make matters worse, you will remain unemployed if the field of study has no industry demand. Therefore we advise you to check out our articles on the  courses of study under public universities that are easy to get jobs,  top 10 highest paying jobs in Malaysia and  10 courses that will guarantee you good jobs in 5 years. 

In addition, you can also check the  latest list of popular jobs offered by employers according to Jobstreet, since Jobstreet is one of the most popular job search websites in Malaysia listing new careers that are in high demand. 

You can also find the latest  list of jobs offered by employers according to Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp). TalentCorp is an agency under the Ministry of Human Resources (KSM) which is responsible for ensuring that graduates and the rising human capital are equipped with the skills required by the current employment industry.

Quality of the University Offered

Another important aspect to take into consideration includes the quality of the university. You don't want to be graduating only to find out that the university has no reputation in propelling students into the workforce. 

For that reason, make sure that the university offered under UPU online is one of the best universities in Malaysia. How you may wonder? Don’t worry, we have compiled a list of the best private universities in Malaysia according to the  QS World University Ranking 2021 and the best public and private universities in Malaysia according to  QS World University Ranking 2022 right here. 

QS World University Ranking measures the performance of universities around the world, including universities situated in Malaysia. The assessment is made in terms of the marketability of graduates who can work after graduation, the quality of teaching and learning that takes place, the facilities provided, the number of local and international students as well as the academic reputation and so forth. 

If the university offered is not listed, we advise you to reconsider your decision in accepting the offer. The choice of university is just as important as the programme of study. A good university with an excellent teaching force will ensure that students can land their dream jobs after graduation.
