Students pursuing the 4-year American Bachelor's Degree study in Malaysia for two years (or 40 to 70 credits) before moving on to a university in America. There are 200 American universities where the students they can transfer their credits earned in Malaysia. A student in Malaysia intending to study in America can collect sufficient credit through the Malaysian institution and then apply to an American university. The Malaysian institution is not bound to a particular American university and similarly, no American university is obliged to take in a student under the credit transfer scheme unless the American university is satisfied with the student's entry qualifications. This is because each American university sets its own requirements and formulates its own courses. Most private colleges formulate their course curriculum taking into consideration the requirements of the foreign university curriculum. As a result, many aspiring students have earned places in reputable American universities. Private Higher Educational Institutions in Malaysia today offers degree transfer programme from 300 prestigious universities in .4 countries: American Degree Transfer Programme, Australian Degree Transfer Programmes, UK Degree Transfer Programmes, Canadian University Transfer Programmes |
