The majority of the students who study A-Level have the intention to further their studies and go to university. A-Levels is widely recognised as the gold standard of pre-university studies, and they are approved by many of the world’s top universities. While it is often the “go-to” programme if the students want to pursue their studies overseas like the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Canada, and Singapore, there are also many students who decide to stay in Malaysia for their degree programme. Especially during the pandemic, many of the students have to rethink their plans of studying abroad.
On the other hand, due to the lack of Malaysian history and geography subjects in the syllabus, UEC holders are not being accepted for entry into a public university in Malaysia with their UEC qualifications. Therefore, students who have finished their UEC are more likely to continue their post-secondary education at private institutions in Malaysia or study abroad.
If you are one of the students who have completed your A-Level or UEC and decided to stick around Malaysia for undergraduate studies, here is a list of scholarships provided by private universities in Malaysia for A-Level and UEC students. Scholarships can be a good financial aid option for students to get financial support in their studies, and the best part is they don’t have to be repaid!
