Written by EduSpiral Consultant Services. For more information contact 01111408838

Now that you have finished your SPM or STPM, it is time to go “shopping” for the right university that fits you. There are so many universities out there and from many countries and states at the Education Fairs.

Choosing the right university can be confusing because all the counselors are basically pushing you to join their universities. Some do not really care about whether the course suits you because their job is to get you to register.

Ask a Knowledgeable & Experienced Education Consultant in Malaysia to Help you Choose the Right Course after SPM

Choosing a course to study after SPM is not a science, it is a process

in finding out who you are and what you are good at. An experienced Education Advisor would be invaluable in assisting you to choose the right course. Students need to talk to the right education counselors so that you get the right information to help you in making this life-changing decision.

Ask the right Education Counselors. Would you ask a Doctor on how to repair your car? Or would you ask a mechanic for medical advise? Although this sounds ridiculous, but many students do listen to advise from young and inexperienced counselors from universities, colleges or agents’ offices.  Talking to an experienced education advisor would help you to navigate through this confusing time of choosing the best course that fits you.

Experienced education counselors are able to analyse your interests, personality and exam results to help you make a list of possible courses for consideration. EduSpiral Consultant Services staff have more than 15 years experience in counseling students. Having worked in the private education industry, we have in-depth knowledge of each private university and college in what they are good at.

EduSpiral Consultant Services has worked with our partner universities and colleges for many years while the counselors at the private universities or agents’ offices change every few years therefore they would not have the in-depth knowledge of the courses and the university that they are working at.

So, what to ask during the Education Fair in Malaysia?

Choosing a college or university can be confusing and even stressful with so many out there. There are about 500 private

colleges and universities out there and it is important to choose the right one.

After you survey the universities at the education fair, you should then pay a visit to the campus to see if the environment and facilities are good.

Do not register at the fair because of the discounts and rebates, those are just sales tactics. Would you buy a smart phone without testing it?

Therefore, after selecting the ones that you are most interested in, to visit their campus. While you are there, make sure you take a campus tour and look at the facilities, talk to their lecturers and current students, and also see if the “culture” of the college fits your personality.

Make sure that the students there speak mostly in English, this will help force you to improve your English. Star newspaper research has shown that graduates with good English have salaries which is 25% higher and get promoted quicker than those who don’t.

The Ministry of Education stated that there were 70,000 university graduates who were jobless and one of the reasons was weak English.

For example, some people may prefer a small college to a large university, some may like a campus with sports facilities, some

with lifestyle facilities, etc. I once made the mistake of joining a college that consisted of students who spoke mostly Mandarin, it was tough as I am a banana (dunno Mandarin), so please do your research….

While the university might be famous, you have to choose one that best fits you and your needs. You should also know your budget. You won’t buy a car without first knowing how much you want to spend. If you cannot afford the fees, then it is no point checking out the university in the first place.

You should not choose a university for the solely based on the following reasons:

My uncle or aunty or friend say, “It is good”. You must ask why is it good and the evidence showing that.

• It is near my house
• It is cheap
• My friends are going there
• The university is famous or popular
• The university gave me a scholarship even though they are not famous for that course
• I have heard before that they are the best, but don’t know from where
• I have heard of the university before from advertisements
• Ask the right questions to choose the best university in Malaysia that fits you

Get the Right Information to Help you Make the Right Choice

When you meet the counsellors, ask them the following questions to help you make a better decision.

1. Is the course accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA)? Is the engineering course accredited by the

   

   Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), architecture accredited by Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM), Pharmacy by Pharmacy Board, etc.
