From another angle...
There are various education routes for a student after their SPM examination...
A student is able to choose :
1. Pre-University..(Usually for students that are not certain with their future careers yet.. it is a better choice for them because after graduating from Pre-University, students are able to choose and enter the field they are interested in
Examples of Pre-University education :
*STPM - Government's Pre-University Education System(
*Private Pre-University - Private Colleges' Pre-University Education System(Cambridge 'A' Levels, South Australian Matriculation, International Canadian Pre-University and more)*
2. Foundation..(Usually for students that are certain with their future careers..unlike Pre-University which have more general knowledge subjects, foundation is a better choice for them because it provides deeper education into that particular field.. but upon graduation, students are only able to enter the degree levels for the particular field they chose..)
3. Diploma..(Usually for students that are weaker in studies.. unlike Pre-University and Foundation which needs at least 5 credits or more in the SPM examination, diploma usually needs around 3 credits or more...diploma is something like foundation + degree levels.. just that it have easier subjects and do not study as deep as degree levels.. students are able to enter the degree levels for the particular field they chose.. just that they gain lesser knowledge compared to a student that chose to take foundation..)
4. Overseas..(Studying overseas...rich families are able to send their child to overseas to study)
The few Pre-University packages that Taylor's provide...
----------------------------------------------------------------
*Cambridge 'A' Levels (In short - CAL or A Levels)*
The Cambridge A Level (CAL) programme at Taylor's is the ‘gold standard' qualification conducted by the prestigious Cambridge International Examinations (CIE)*. It is a high-quality, leading-edge qualification that meets the ongoing demands of employers and educators across the world in today's dynamic, globalised environment. It provides an excellent foundation to international tertiary programmes, opening doors to many of the best universities in the world.
As such, the CAL programme at Taylor's emphasises on reasoning rather than memorising ability, with a focus on a mix of knowledge, understanding, application and analytical skills. Taylor's University College is recognised as the largest and most successful independent centre for the A Level programme internationally. Taylor's University College was the first to be awarded the prestigious International Fellowship Centre Status in Malaysia by University of Cambridge International Examinations in 2004.
An 18-month programme, it prepares students for examinations in two phases: Advanced Subsidiary (AS) level and Advanced Two (A2) level. With this new structure of the A Level examination, students are given more opportunities to phase their learning to gain in-depth knowledge and life-long skills that prepare them for success in their higher education and future employment.
Entry Requirements: SPM, 'O' Levels or equivalent - 5 credits including English and Mathematics/Science. Subject pre-requisites apply.
Offered at: Taylor's University College Duration: 18 months
Admission(Intake): January, March (Express), June
Marks Allocation: 100% on examination, 0% on skills assessment
----------------------------------------------------------------
*South Australian Matriculation (In short - SAM)*
The South Australian Matriculation (SAM) programme originates from Australia but it is by no means intended only for students who wish to pursue an Australian degree. In this programme, students are given opportunities to investigate and explore options in seeking solutions.
The curriculum and evaluation methodologies, which emphasises lateral and critical thinking skills, creativity and application, will enable graduates to excel at tertiary level. The mode of assessment practiced in the SAM programme involves a good balance of continuous internal assessment and a final external examination.
As a result, students gain hands-on experiences and become more self-directed in obtaining knowledge and managing their time - an excellent preparation for tertiary studies.
Entry Requirements: SPM, 'O' Levels or equivalent - 5 credits including English and Mathematics/Science. Subject pre-requisites apply
Offered at: Taylor's University College
Duration: At least nine months before obtaining the South Australian Certificate of Education
Admission(Intake): January, March (Express)
Marks Allocation: 50% on examination, 50% on skills assessment
----------------------------------------------------------------
International Canadian Pre-University (In short - ICPU)
The International Canadian Pre-University (ICPU) Programme was pioneered by and has been operating successfully at Taylor's since 1983. It has experienced its greatest growth in the past few years as students have realised that the ICPU opens doors to universities all over the world, not just in Canada. In fact, most of Taylor's graduates go on to pursue their tertiary education in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand. A significant number of Taylor's graduates also opt to pursue their twinning degree programmes right here at Taylor's, and then go overseas to complete their final year of the undergraduate degree.
The programme of study offered at ICPU is exactly the same as the final year of secondary schools in Ontario, Canada – upon completion, students receive the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
Entry Requirements: SPM or 'O' Level or equivalent - 5 credits including English and Mathematics/Science. Subject pre-requisites apply.
Offered at: Taylor's University College
Duration: 1 year
Admission(Intake): January, March, July
Marks Allocation: 30% on examination, 70% on skills assessment
For your information.. skills assessment is projects, assignments and more...
The registration counter...to allow Taylor's to know more about their future-students(customers?)..
From my point of view...I can see that Taylor's is famous for their Pre-University packages, business courses, and maybe engineering courses too.. there are more but I am not sure about that... just from what I know so far...
A lecturer giving speech in the auditorium to explain more about the Pre-University packages they provide..(CAL, SAM and ICPU)...
The hall where students can search and enquire more about the courses they are interested in...there were lots of people there! Many parents and students too... I enquired more on their computing courses they provide..and also went to the engineering section to ask for some information...
They are not specialised in computing courses which I hunt for... only 2 degree levels choice for computing.. =( too bad..guess I have to look for another college that is specialised in computing courses..
