Thinking about pre-university (Pre-U) programmes, but not sure where to start? Don't worry, Sunway College has got you covered.
Choosing a Pre-U pathway after high school can be daunting — there is a lot to consider, from tuition fees and course duration to the types of qualifications to pursue.
Thankfully, Sunway College has a wide range of Pre-U options you can consider. Whether you're looking for a fast track to top universities or a versatile Pre-U qualification that's recognised globally, there is something for you.
1. Australian Matriculation (AUSMAT)
If you're thinking of studying in Australia or pursuing Australian university qualifications, AUSMAT is one of the fastest Pre-U tracks you can opt for.
What sets AUSMAT apart is the balance of school-based assessments (50-85%) and external exams (50% or 15%). You'll develop university-ready skills such as multitasking, collaboration, and communication, while having the flexibility to choose between science and humanities subjects.
Sunway College is Malaysia's best performing AUSMAT college, having won over 130 world awards to date. With over 35 years of excellence, this fast-tracked Pre-U programme provides students with a globally recognised qualification, preparing them for university studies all across the world.
2. Cambridge GCE A-Level
A-Level is a Pre-U programme that is 100% exam-based, making it suitable if you're academically inclined with a strong analytical and inquisitive mind. Following the UK education system, you get to take a minimum of three subjects out of the 60 available subjects.
Besides that, A-Level is good for keeping your university options open, since it is recognised by top-ranked universities worldwide.
Sunway College is also Malaysia's best performing A-Level college, boasting a stellar performance record with a 100% pass rate. It has also achieved the highest number of students receiving the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards (OCLA) for eight consecutive years.
3. Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP)
For students who thrive on continuous assessments and formative feedback, instead of one big final exam, CIMP may be the right match.
Through the programme, you'll get to develop a wide range of skills, while also having opportunities to volunteer and explore individual interests through a wide range of extracurricular activities.
Sunway College is Malaysia's only CIMP college accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education, and features Ontario-trained faculty. Over the years, over 10,000 CIMP graduates have gained admission to over 230 universities worldwide.
4. Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY)
If Monash University or other Australian, New Zealand, or UK universities are on your radar, MUFY would be your choice.
MUFY offers a coursework-focused curriculum with a flexible mode of study through modular delivery. Since it's a non-discipline specific foundation programme, you have a broad pathway to any university course of your choice.
The main draw of this programme is that it gives you a direct pathway to Monash University, one of the world's top-ranked universities.
Sunway College is the only provider of MUFY in Malaysia. Graduates can progress to Monash University or pursue further studies elsewhere, with the qualification being recognised by all Australian universities, as well as selected New Zealand and UK universities.
5. Sunway Foundation Programme
Foundation programmes are catered towards students who need additional preparation or want to meet certain requirements for direct entry into a degree course.
At Sunway College, you can choose between a Foundation in Arts (FIA) and Foundation in Science and Technology (FIST) programme.
One of the nice things about Foundation programmes at Sunway College is that they offer a balance of 50% coursework and 50% examination, which helps you develop a good foundation in your chosen field of study.
Studying Foundations at Sunway College provides you a direct pathway into your degree of choice at Sunway University, making it suitable for students who have their eyes set on where they want to pursue a degree.
