The United Examination Certificate (UEC) is one of the most popular pre-university programmes in Malaysia that is accepted by a number of prestigious international institutions throughout the world as well as private local universities. However, because of the lack of Malaysian history (Sejarah) and geography studies in their programme, Malaysia’s public institutions continue to reject the admissions to UEC graduates.
Students with a UEC qualification can apply straight to a private college or university in Malaysia to pursue their tertiary education; however, UEC is not recognised for admission to a Malaysian public institution. Besides the over 300 private higher education institutions in Malaysia that accept the UEC certification, more than 1000 universities worldwide also recognise the UEC certification for getting admission into their tertiary programmes, including those in Singapore, China, Australia, New Zealand the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and others. Among the countries mentioned above, Australia is one of the most popular destinations for UEC graduates and also international students in general.
For those who are considering taking UEC or who already are UEC graduates, you may want to check out the list of Australian institutions below that accept UEC qualifications.
