Hello Shelbie,
Yes, you can apply to UPSI with a diploma in Early Childhood Education from a private institution as the UPU website shows that this particular course allows for IPTS applicants. You can double confirm it here by clicking this link and choosing UPSI for the "Universiti Awam" category, and Diploma IPTS for the "Kategori" and "Aliran" categories. The courses shown will be courses that allow for IPTS diploma applicants. https://online.mohe.gov.my/upu/epanduan/syarat/vMenuSyarat.php?jenprog=stpm
Hope this helps, and we wish you all the best :)
Aviation
Hello Jasmine,
Different institutions have different fees for their courses, and some prices vary by a lot. If you have a specific institution in mind, please check directly on that institution's website for its fees. If you are looking for a range of prices, a Diploma in Aviation Management can go up to approximately RM 30, 000. For example, Aviation Management College offers the course at RM7,400 per year for a 3-year programme.
Hope this helps :)
Marketing
Hi Shafika,
You can always finish up with a degree in marketing, but there are plenty of degree choices to choose from as well should you prefer to study in a different field. For example, you can apply for Architecture, Finance, IT, Quantity Surveying, and many more. However, you should do some research on whether the university that you are interested in accepts your diploma and allows for credit transfer.
Here is a sample university that accepts most diplomas depending on their CGPA and subjects taken: https://afterschool.my/infrastructure-university-kuala-lumpur You can fill in the form on the right hand column if you are interested and we will get back to you.
Feel free to browse through the institutions on this website. We wish you all the best!

Hi Faiz,
There're 3 ways to apply to UM. 1) through UPU 2) second intake 3) international degree programme (IDP)
As for the first option, a diploma from a private university will give you limited options to choose from UM. You can head over to UPU's official website to check out the courses you're eligible to apply for here: https://online.mohe.gov.my/upu/epanduan/syarat/vMenuSyarat.php?jenprog=stpm&pagefunc=syaratByIPTA&carian1=M&carian2=E&carian3=E3
Second intakes allow students to directly apply to the university so this depends if the university accepts your qualification. You can try to call them to enquire about this as they are the ones who handle student admissions.
UM will accept your diploma from a private uni through IDP but do note that you will have to pay the fees similar to a private university as this is not subsidised by the government.
If money is not an issue and you really want to get in UM, IDP is the best option for you.
Hope this has clarified your doubts. Feel free to ask if you have any more queries
Hi Fatimah,
Unfortunately, you cannot apply for rayuan matrikulasi as you did not apply for matriculation in the first place. Rayuan is only for students who have previously applied for matriculation and then failed to get any spots to further their education in matriculation.
However, if you really want to further your studies in a course that interests you, you can always apply for private universities.
Hi Wani,
Yes, you can. That will not be a problem but it is a waste of time because you can already move on to the next level of study (degree). It would be better if you do a double degree than a double diploma because that will be more useful. A degree will help you get a higher salary and is more employable than diploma. For your information, obtaining a double diploma is not equivalent to a degree.
Hope this helps.

We've contacted the university to enquire about this but they will need to see your certificate, SPM and MUET results first to determine your eligibility. Could you please send a clear image of all those documents to our FB inbox here: https://www.facebook.com/Afterschool.my/ We will transfer your documents to the university and get back to you if they accept your application.
Looking forward to receive your documents on FB soon :)
Hi Sakthi,
Yes, UPM offers a diploma in animal health but after completing the course, you are not considered a vet yet. You will have to complete your degree first which is offered at UPM and UMK. You can check the entry requirements at UPU's official page here: https://online.mohe.gov.my/upu/epanduan/kodprogram/cariProgram.php
A-Levels
Member since Jul' 2018
Using your diploma to apply for universities abroad is highly dependent on the university's approval. They will review your results and syllabus completed in your diploma to fit the degree programs offered by the university. If your diploma is from a university that has partner universities abroad then there are higher chances to get enrolled in those universities. However, we will recommend using A-Levels as this qualification is under Cambridge and it is an internationally recognised pre university course. You will not need to worry whether a university will accept A-Levels.Hope this clarifies your query. :)
