Transfer credits from your diploma into Year 2 of related degree

UPgrade to be competitive in the job market

"EduSpiral Consultant Services helped a lot in getting me to Northumbria University" - Chan Sin Nean, Final Year in degree in International Business (transferred from TARC)

As the job market has a lot of degree graduates, it is important to remain competitive and continue on to a degree after completing your diploma. Some Diploma graduates have said that they would like to work first before continuing on to study a degree programme.

From experience, my suggestion is to continue immediately after you complete your diploma. This is because when you begin a job, it is difficult to stop. In addition, if you have stopped studies for a while, it may be difficult to find the right frame of mind and motivation to start studying again.

To move up in the corporate world or into management level, the basic requirement is a degree. In addition, the starting salary for a degree holder is higher and the opportunities for promotion is faster because the degree holder is equipped with problem solving, decision making and in-depth technical skills.

I submitted my transcripts, course outline and other documents to EduSpiral and he arranged for everything including my accommodation to UCSI University. Everything was smooth.

Most diplomas can be transferred to another college or university into the Year 2 of the relevant programme. If you have taken the Diploma in Accounting, it is highly likely that you can enter into Year 2 of the degree in Accounting or Accounting & Finance. For the Diploma in Business Administration, you can enter into Year 2 of the degree in Business Administration depending on the exemptions.

However, if you go from the Diploma in Business Administration into the Degree in Accounting, then you may not get the optimum amount of exemptions because the subjects in your diploma are not similar with the degree course of the university that you want to transfer to.

I have two students who graduated with the DIploma in Interior Design from Lim Kok Wing University and they have managed to transfer into Year 2 of the BA

I was having problems in transferring to some universities but EduSpiral helped me to get the most exemptions transferring into Asia Pacific University smoothly.

(Hons) Interior Architecture & Design (3+0) awarded by Nottingham Trent University, UK and offered at KBU International College.

So, to transfer from the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering to the degree in Mechanical Engineering, then you will get more exemptions than transferring into the degree in Electrical or Civil engineering at UCSI University.

It would not be possible for you to transfer from the 

Diploma in IT into the Degree in Accounting because the subjects are not related at all. 

Therefore, you have to keep in mind to transfer into the degree that is similar to your diploma. Diploma in IT or Computing students can transfer their credits into the best university for IT which is Asia Pacific University (APU) and enter into Year 2 depending on the exemptions.

In Malaysia, because of MQA requirements, you have to complete at least 2 years

however if you transfer to Northumbria University, UK, you get to complete the final year of the related degree after your diploma. 

I had a student from TAR College Kampar enter into the Final Year of the International Business Management degree at Northumbria University with his Diploma in Marketing.

It would cost roughly about RM30,000-RM50,000 in tuition fees for the final 2 years depending on which course. You can apply for the PTPN Loan up to RM16,000 a year.

It will take some time for the exemptions to be done, so you should apply early. 

Asia Pacific University (APU) achieves excellence in the SETARA 2011 Ratings with a Tier 5 ranking

If you are applying to enter into design or architecture degree courses, then you will need to submit a portfolio as well.

As I represent reputable institutions with a wide range of degrees, please contact me to find out how you can transfer to an institution that best fit your needs.

In order to process your transfer smoothly, you will need to send me the following:

1. Transcripts of all the subjects taken
2. Copy of SPM or UEC certificate
3. Course outline for all the subjects taken – you can request this from your course coordinator. A course outline is a brief description of each subject

   

   UCSI University located in Taman Connaught, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

   taken at your current college or university. The outline is needed for the university that you intend to go to, to compare the subjects that you have taken at your current university with theirs to see if they are similar. If similar, then, you are given the exemption, if not, then you will need to retake that subject. For example, if you have taken Basic Accounting, then you will be exempted from Fundamentals in Accounting at the university that you want to go to because the subjects are similar. However, if you had taken Computer Skills and that subject is
   

   

   KBU International College offers excellent facilities with affordable fees.

   not offered in the degree at the university that you want to go to, then this subject is not exempted.
4. Photocopy of diploma certificate, if ready, if not, then request your university for the Letter of Completion
5. Photocopy of IC – both sides
