Hello Reenaa,

As Economics is related to Business, and Business is related to Accounting, the subjects of Math and Accounting are inevitable in a Business Degree. Therefore, you will have to learn Maths and Accounting in the Diploma in Finance. 

Not many universities offer this course, but TAR UC is one of them that offers this course.
If you are interested, you can check out their syllabus and subjects they study at their official website here.

Hope this helps :)

HI, my problem now is the stream im taking which has math as a subject and also im weak in accounts and my teacher is not very helpful. No its not because my friends that i dont like stpm. i am just not very comfortable about the school enviroment. I am interested in Dip. in Finance because I am really interested in economics subject and my teacher suggested it as i knew that i wanted to be in the business field. I want to drop out and enter college but i cant make a decision.

Im not interested in stpm because of the course im taking and the teachers. I also cant shift to a different school due to transport issues. I really like the subject ceonomics and my teachers suggested me to enrol in Finance or Economics. I want to take diploma in finance since my parents cant afford Foundation studies. But to be honest I am interested to learn language but I dont think i can do any degree related to it

Hello Reenaa,

Deciding what to study is a very tough thing to do for every student, as it will define your future and what you will be doing from then on. You can ask for advice from other people, but in the end, everything will still fall back to you as you are the final decision maker. Therefore, before you make your decision in anything, here are some questions for you to reflect on as a guide to finding your answers. After you have done that, you can get back to us and with these answers we can help you find the right course and institution for you :)

1. Why are you not interested in STPM?
- Is it because of the stream or subjects you are taking?

- Is it because most of your friends are doing other courses?

- Is it because you feel that the standard of STPM is not on par with other pre-university courses?

2. Why are you interested in the Diploma in Finance?

- Are you really interested in a finance, or are you choosing this course for other reasons?

- What are the other reasons or motivations?

Hope these questions helped you find more clarification on your decision making :) We hope to hear from you soon!

Hello Rubel,

For now, there are few universities in Malaysia that offer part-time engineering courses. One of them that do is UTMSpace, which focuses on mostly part-time courses due to high demands of working adults who want to further their studies. 

The approximate fees for a Mechanical Engineering diploma is RM21,450, but it is best to contact UTMSpace directly to determine the fees as there will be extra costs for international students. You can look at the detailed fee breakdown here:

We hope this helps. All the best!

Hello Chin Teik,

Congratualtions on having completed your diploma! As for whether you can shorten your degree time by transferring credits from your diploma, it will have to depend on the particular university's degree module with the module that you have taken with your diploma. You will have to contact the university directly with your transcript so that they can cross reference it with their module in order to determine if your credits are transferable to your degree.

Hope this helps :)

Hello Ming Lee,

You will only need a MUET cert when you are going on to complete your degree in a university. Therefore, you will have the choice on whether you want to take your MUET certification now or after your diploma. The MUET cert expires after 5 years, so you will have no worries as diploma only takes 3 years to complete, and you still have 2 years left on your MUET to apply for degree programmes.

Hope this helps :)

Hello Nia,

There are 2 ways to be a Chartered Certified Accountant under the ACCA. One is to start with the CAT right after SPM and then go on to ACCA which will take a total of 3 years excluding the additional years of working experience in order to become an ACCA member. The other route is to take a pre-university qualification and finish with an accounting degree before taking on the ACCA exams which will take approximately 5 years excluding the additional years as well.

As you have already completed your Diploma in Accounting, it is best that you stick to the route of finishing up your Degree in Accounting before going on to ACCA. This is because once you have a degree in Accounting, you will be able to exempt yourself from up to 9 papers at the ACCA Fundamentals Level out of the total 14 papers. Besides that, a degree in Accounting will also equip you with broader skills outside the field of accounting, such as Economics and Investments. A pure ACCA candidate will miss out on these knowledge and skills.

We hope that this clarifies your dilemma and worries. We wish you all the best!

Hello Ottmar,

Yes, it is possible for a diploma student to go on to a medical degree. However, eligibility for a medical degree depends on the type of diploma you have. Only science stream diplomas or equivalent are eligible for it, as long as you've satisfied the entry requirements of the particular university.

For example, Aimst University requires you to have a Diploma in Health Sciences with a CGPA of at least 3.5 and above, at least 2Bs in Biology and/or Physics and/or Chemistry, and 3 credits each in English, Maths, or Additional Mathematics and another subject at SPM level or equivalent. If you have satisfied these 2 requirements as well as any additional requirements that the university has, you are then eligible to enroll in Aimst University for their MBBS program.

Here is a sample link where you can click on it and fill up the form on the right hand corner of the page. Our counsellors will get back to you regarding the most suitable institution for you.
