Hi Atikah,
The answer to your question is simply -: it depends. Different courses at UKM have different requirements. During UPU (which you will have to use), you will be able to check and see whether the course you want accepts a Diploma (as some courses DO accept it, and some DO NOT).

Choosing a Course
Hi Izyan,
If you would like to change courses, you must first apply to change courses through a Variation application (or better known as Rayuan). Once you receive a confirmed offer of study for the specific course you wish to change to, then you may proceed.
If you are applying to move to another institution, you will need a confirmed offer of study in that specific institution first. But before you can apply, your original education provider will have to cancel the current Pass you have. Do note that for local institutions, you are only allowed to change course or institution twice. For a detailed step-by-step process, click here.

Forensic Science
Pathway
Hi Abdul Haziq,
There are several pathways that may lead you to pursuing a degree in Forensic Science. You may take a diploma in any relevant discipline, A levels, or even Foundation in Science. But the fastest pathway to taking the degree would no doubt be Foundation in Science.
It is important that you get at least 5 credits inclusive of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics / Additional Mathematics in SPM, to be eligible for a degree in Forensic Science. But make sure to note that entry requirements may differ depending on the institution. Also, on top of that, you would need a decent grade in Foundation in Science/A levels/any relevant Diploma.
If you're interested, MAHSA University and AIMST University both offer Foundation in Science. If you are keen on applying, just fill in the bar on the right and one of our counselors will get in touch with you.
