Hi Nusaibah,

May we know which university you took your Foundation in English in? Normally, if you continue your bachelor's degree in the same university, it would not be a problem. However, switching to a different course in a different university will be difficult, because a Foundation programme usually acts as a preparatory programme for a degree in the same university. Other universities may not recognise a different institution's foundation programme qualifications.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi Nur Hidayah,

Yes, you may apply for a graphic design course even if you did not take an Art subject in your SPM exams. Do note that you will be required to go through a pre-u programme before you can pursue a bachelor's degree in graphic design (e.g. A-Levels, STPM, Diploma, Foundation etc.). For more info about pre-u programmes, you may read the article here or download our free e-book here.

As you did not take an Art subject in SPM, you will very likely be required to submit an art portfolio or sit for an art assessment before pursuing the graphic design programme to determine whether you are suitable to undergo the programme. Thus, it is very important that you begin compiling an art portfolio that includes samples of drawings, sketches, paintings or any other form of artistic work.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello Lau Bin Lu,

The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) does indeed allow non-Muslim students to enroll in their courses. UiTM is the only institute that requires students to be bumiputera, but IIUM accepts students of all backgrounds. You will only need to satisfy the entry requirements that the university has for the specific programme and adhere to their dress codes as this is an Islamic institution. Other than that, you should have no problem in enrolling for the Foundation in Architectural and Environmental Design programme at IIUM.

Hope this clarifies your doubts. We wish you all the best!

Hello Faqehah,

Hi Malathi,

Before we compare between the two courses, it helps to know what corporate communication and media design is about.

1) Corporate communication is the management of internal and external communications in a company that involves liaising with stakeholders, employees, media and the public through various strategies such as branding, corporate responsibility, investor relations and public relations. A course in Corporate Communication will teach you on the concepts and principles of human behaviour, marketing, advertising, public relations, journalism, media relations and management among others.

2) A course in Media Design will teach you how to communicate effectively using designs through the media. You will be learning about mass communications theory to the corporate sector, the role of culture and social structures in social change, global trends and their local impact and contemporary writing practices.

You can actually find this out if you google it :)

Feel free to ask if you have any more queries.
