Curtin Malaysia sets April 20 as the extended deadline for enrolment into Foundation courses for students who have collected their SPM results.
MIRI: Curtin University, Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia) is extending enrolment into its Foundation programme in Engineering and Science, Commerce or Arts to April 20, 2018 for school leavers who have just received their SPM results.
The extension is also for students with STPM, UEC, O-Level, A-Level, diploma and matriculation qualifications who have yet to apply.
Classes will start on March 26 following a week-long orientation, but newly enrolled students will be able to catch up through special orientation sessions in place of the formal orientation and replacement learning sessions for missed classes.
The students are guaranteed places in undergraduate programmes of their choice in the university’s Faculty of Engineering and Science, Faculty of Business or Faculty of Humanities upon successful completion of their one-year Foundation programmes.
Curtin Malaysia’s Foundation programmes are intensive and focused to ensure students attain the academic requirements to enter undergraduate programmes, and can more confidently adapt to university life in terms of level and style of education.
To give them the best opportunity to achieve their goals, students are taught by highly experienced lecturers and have access to various academic and personal support mechanisms. They also benefit from low student-lecturer ratios in classrooms and a variety of modern, diversified teaching methods that include workshops, tutorials, laboratory projects and group work.
