Those who stay on for UEC, on the other hand, will find that their tertiary education will be limited to private schools that accept their UEC results, as the UEC is not recognised in government universities unless they are using their SPM results to take an additional year of Diploma or Foundation studies.
The UEC exam is equivalent to STPM and A-levels and is recognised in other countries like the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, and more. Therefore, students who have finished their UEC are more likely to continue their post-secondary education at private institutions or abroad rather than staying in Malaysia.
With the wide variety of courses and institutions available in Malaysia, you might feel very overwhelmed to choose the right course, and the suitable university, therefore we have prepared a list for you, with some university recommendations and also its popular courses.
