Hi Asitharan,
Robotics is actually a hybrid engineering course that combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. Robotics courses are available in several universities in Malaysia, such as Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak, UniKL, MMU, and others.
It is also suggested that you study one of the core engineering courses that would eventually lead you to choose robotics, such as Mechanical Engineering. You may also pursue Electrical Engineering, which would typically have the option for you to pursue Robotics.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi Donovann,
According to the GMI website as you can view here, upon completing A-Levels there is a placement for students to apply to the University of Applied Sciences (UAS) in Germany. This university does indeed offer chemical engineering as a degree course.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hi Ng Huiying,
Do you mean if there is a lot of mathematics in Chemical Engineering? If so, yes, Mathematics is a requirement in Chemical Engineering. You will likely be involved with a lot of measurements and calculations of chemical components, as well as the application of physics in the engineering portion of the course.

Hi Ernadia Faizzahtul Nabeela,
Biomedical science and biomedical engineering overlap in many ways but essentially the main focus is different. Biomedical science is rooted more in research opportunities and emphasises subjects such as human anatomy, genetics, microbiology, human development, and immunology. Research and observation is the focus of biomedical science.
Biomedical engineering combines the biology and medical knowledge with engineering principles with the purpose of creating devices or procedures for those who seek medical treatment. Thus the course would focus strongly on subjects such as advanced mathematics, physics and chemistry, which are needed in constructing biomedical devices and procedures. Application is the main focus in biomedical engineering.
Hope this helps to clear up the two!

Hi Farazahira,
Yes, you may! But it will depend on what Foundation in Science you took, because some cater to medical courses and come serve as a pre-university qualification for engineering courses.
UTP, UNITEN, and Curtin University Malaysia are examples of universities that offer degrees in engineering. If you are interested to apply, just fill in the bar on the right and one of our Afterschool counselors will get in touch with you :)
