& DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
Exclusively offered through Direct Intake
Public universities are now opening direct entry routes to the university through special channels aimed at providing other alternatives, especially for students pursuing their studies at the Foundation, Diploma or Bachelor's degree level.
The Direct Intake is a great optional route and a worthwhile investment as many students have already enjoyed the opportunity to pursue their dream programme with a brighter career prospects.
-
Less Competition
You will have greater chances to enrol for programme of your choice as you do not have to compete for the programme and university through UPUOnline. This is mainly because there are many outstanding candidates applying and competing especially for popular programmes eg: Law, Engineering, Computer Science and others.
-
No "Merit" Requirement for Entry
Unlike UPU, the application through the Direct Intake does not require the consideration of the applicant's merit points as a prerequisite for admission. Students only need to meet the minimum entry requirements of the programme as set by the respective university.
-
Direct Offer from the University
Applicants will receive an offer directly from the university if they meet the set admission requirements and will follow the same programme and enjoy all facilities as other students who receive an offer through UPU.
