    Hello sir I got straight As in my SPM (7A+,1A.2A-)
    I am really interested in radiography hence i want to study diploma in medical imaging at INTI or MAHSA.But i’m not sure which one of the institute z the best in teaching the course.
    is there any scholarship available that cover everything like tuition fees,accomodation fees and living allowance?
    I’ve looked up into jpa scholarship information but unfortunately they don’t provide it for medical imaging or radiography courses.

    Hi Vanitha,

    there’s one (uni darul iman) under IPTA.

    if IPTS, then you can ask for their scholarship since you got excellent results. why not do a foundation and later do a degree in medical/bio field. both mahsa and inti would offer scholarships so try them. i can’t say which is better since i’m not familiar with either.

    refer to Scholarship page of this blog and see which can cover your course. you can try sime darby or those related to hospitals.

    hi Az,

    i assume you took bio and got either a or b. overall, you sciences subjects are weak results, so engineering is probably a bad option. you can go for some bio based programs. or look at IT, management, law, language, arts, and so on.

    you can consider politeknik, IPTA (diploma for non-bumi and foundation/diploma for bumiputra) or IPTS.

    hi kesavartni,

    that’s a tough question – which is best ipts. all will claim they are best. i can only suggest that you visit the ipts and check out the facilities. if can talk to the students or ask around who is studying where. some options: nilai, mahsa, segi, msu, ptpl, inti, klmu, unikl.

    hi selvi,

    teaching and lecturing is two different field. which is it you want to be? teaching is in school, while lecturers work in uni/colleges. for teaching in school, you will need a degree in education OR postgrad diploma in education+degree in relevant field. to work in uni/college, you’ll need a masters degree in maths (if you want to be maths lecturer) at the very minimum. some colleges do hire people with bachelor degree but to teach a-levels, foundation programs students.

    SO, if you want to work in schools, then STPM->UPSI is one way. 2nd way, you can try for maktab perguruan for degree to teach in PRIMARY School. this program still open, check my Application page.

    if you want to be IPTS uni/college lecturer, you can enrol in IPTS and do foundation, and then degree.

    if you want to be IPTA lecturer, then STPM, followed by degree in IPTA recognised uni.

    hi pravin,

    3As is most likely unable to secure scholarships. people with 7 or 8 As themselves also find it difficult, so i think you have to be realistic.

    Hi Neha,

    your science subjects are all C, but do you have the interest in dentistry or dietetics? if yes, then you have to consider taking foundation in sciences or a-levels.

    many courses are in demand in malaysia, because every job is important. police, doctor, teacher, engineer, IT, accountant, marketing, entrepreneur, and so on.

    Hi Chan,

    congrats on your results. you should try all the possible scholarships and hope for the best. both doctor and mechanical engineering have good prospect, while actuarial science is a specialised field for jobs in certain industry only.

    Hi WC,
