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 Shahrul,
Unfortunately, you cannot go for engineering as most engineering and science-heavy courses need at least a C in maths. However, if you really want to study engineering, you will have to re-sit for SPM Maths to get a better result for the subject. Unfortunately, the application for re-sitting SPM is closed for the year. You will have to apply for next year’s examination. If you are willing to wait, this will be the best route for you. If you have a change of heart, Afterschool is glad to offer our services in helping you find the best course for you :)
