IGCSE in Malaysia: All the basics you need to know
Published by SchoolAdvisor on Mar 15, 2019, 02:00 AM

One of the many concerns of parents is education, that is, making the best educational choice for their children based on the existing options available to them at every stage of their academic lives.

It is undeniable that Malaysian parents invest greatly on the education of their little ones to ensure a safe future of the latter.

The Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) is the main national examination that credits candidates with secondary school qualifications, provided they pass. The examination is taken in Form 5 after 11 years of schooling. SPM is one of the pathways to tertiary education for Malaysian students.

Many parents have been seeking alternative pathways towards tertiary education and have been leaning towards the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE).

This article provides you with a thorough insight on IGCSE.

What is IGCSE ?
IGCSE is the abbreviation for International General Certificate of Secondary Education.

It is considered to be the most popular international certification for the end of secondary school and is the equivalent to the British O-Level, UK GCSE, fifth form or year 11 or before a student proceeds to Advanced Level (A-Level or sixth form or year 12 & 13) or pre-university studies in respective countries and schools.

The duration of the programme is 5 years, starting with Year 7 (the equivalent of Form 1) and ending with the Year 11 examinations which are set and marked by the Examination Board.

Recognition
Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge International A Levels and Cambridge IGCSEs to meet their entry requirements. Moreover, countries like the UK, US or Canadian colleges and universities allow admissions to students holding a successfully passed IGCSE Certificate. Furthermore, this program creates a pathway for the local students from Malaysia to study abroad.

When students complete their education and move on to the next step, that is, joining the labour force, those holding an IGCSE certificate benefit-- many of the leading companies worldwide accept and recognise this program.

IGCSE is popular among homeschoolers and adult students. Though IGCSE is mostly undertaken by students typically in the age group 14-16 or 15-17 depending on primary 1 entry age, it also allows students from alternative education and adult students to sit for the exam and continue personal education advancement at any age.

Subjects
IGCSE offers more than 70 subjects where students are required to take a minimum of 5 or maximum of 14 subjects.

The core subjects are English, Mathematics and Sciences.Nevertheless, students can also choose other subjects ranging from Social Sciences (commonly Accounting, Business Studies, Economics, Sociology) to Arts & Technology (commonly Computer Studies, Information & Communication Technology (ICT), Art & Design).

Students are awarded with one IGCSE certificate on each subject- If you take 5 subjects, you will be awarded 5 IGCSE certificates. The number of subjects need to be taken is varied from school to school, and also depends upon individual preference.

- In Malaysia, it is compulsory for all Malaysian students to sign up for their SPM Bahasa Malaysia when they are in Year 11 (the Form 5 Year).

Examinations
Unlike the Malaysian Certificate of Education (or Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, aka SPM) which offers examinations once a year, the IGCSE offers examinations twice a year, in June and November. The IGCSE is issues results in August and January every year.

Moreover, the IGCSE graduates can quickly apply for scholarship or be admitted into college and/or university earlier as compared to the SPM graduate.

Cambridge IGCSE Grading System
The IGCSE is graded from A* to G, with U stated as “Ungraded”.

Students are required to obtain minimum grade C for the 5 core subjects in order to proceed to the next advanced level or further education.

The IGCSE grading system aims to maintain the standard of grading such that the same level of achievement will receive the same grade from one year to the next. This means that grades should reflect a consistent level of achievement between different syllabuses within the same qualification and in different years.

IGCSE grading overview is as below:

In whichever step parents take for their children on alternative secondary school qualifications, it is crucial to refer to various resources on the internet, speak to teachers, parents and students with some experience, visit and take trial classes (if possible) at the schools and learning centres and ensure that it is the right choice for the child and his future.

- Choosing IGCSE is something to consider and a good and plausible choice that one can make if one can afford it !

Everything You Need To Know About American Degree Program

American universities have consistently been dominating university world rankings, but is an American Degree Program (ADP) the right path for you?

What is it about ADP that differentiates it from the rest of the other programmes, such as A-Level, Australian Matriculation and Foundation Studies?

Here’s EVERYTHING that you need to know about ADP, from its course structure and grading system to its unique curriculum, so that you can make an informed choice for your college education.

The Basics of ADP
ADP - The Basics

What It Is
The American Degree Program (more commonly known as ADP) is a direct entry into university level after SPM or O-Level. Unlike other Pre-University programmes such as A-Level, SAM and STPM, enrolling into ADP would mean that you are already pursuing your degree.

ADP programmes in Malaysia usually have a credit-transfer option, which means that you can transfer to a university overseas (typically in USA or Canada) to finish your degree after studying anywhere between 1 – 2 years in Malaysia.

Most students will transfer to universities in the USA to complete their degree.

MCKL Leaderboard-ADP

How Is ADP Structured?
ADP is a direct route to an undergraduate degree after SPM that lasts about 4 years.

ADP - Structure

In the first two years, you will take a wide variety of courses, including General Education courses (e.g. Language, Math, Natural Sciences, Fine Arts) and Core Requirements courses related to your Major. In your final two years, you will embark on more advanced courses that are focused on your Major.

Jargon Buster: A “Major” is a discipline or specific area that you have chosen to focus your degree in. An example of a Major would be Chemical Engineering or Biotechnology.
You will typically take about 3 – 4 subjects per semester. Each subject is worth a number of credits or credit hours (between 3 to 5 credits). For example: 4 credits per subject x 4 subjects per semester x 8 semesters = 128 credits.

To obtain an undergraduate degree, you will need approximately 110 to 140 credits.

A key benefit of ADP is that you can take more credits per semester to complete your degree faster, or less credit hours if you would like to take your own time.

Jargon Buster: “Credits” and “Credit Hours” mean the same thing! These 2 terms can be used interchangeably.
How Will You Be Graded?
You will be assessed continuously via assignments, coursework, presentations, tests and even extra- and co-curricular activities. Depending on the course & institution, all this can contribute to approximately 70% of your overall assessment, with the remaining 30% via final exams.

Final grades for each subject will be a single score, called the GPA (grade point average) on a 0.0 to 4.0 scale. The top grade is an A, which equals 4.0. This is the standard scale at most colleges and universities.

The final result is called the CGPA (cumulative grade point average) which is also on a 0.0 to 4.0 scale. It is derived from the GPA obtained from all your individual subjects.

Credit Transfers
ADP - Credit Transfer

What Is a Credit Transfer?
Most ADP programmes in Malaysia are credit transfer programmes, which means that you will need to spend a certain duration studying in Malaysia before transferring to another university (typically in the USA) to complete your degree.

Credit transfer programmes allow you to obtain an American degree without having to complete the full degree programme of 4 years abroad.

What does 1+3 and 2+2 mean?
The first number indicates the duration spent in Malaysia at your chosen institution, and the second number indicates the duration spent overseas at a university in the USA.

For example, a 1+3 transfer programme means that you will study your 1st year in Malaysia at your chosen college / university. After that, you will need to apply for a transfer to a university in the USA to finish your remaining 3 years.

It is worth noting that certain course credits taken at your previous institution may not be counted by the receiving university, so it is important to do some research and speak to college counsellors when applying for transfers.

MCKL Leaderboard-ADP

What is the difference between “credit transfer” and “twinning”?
With credit transfers, you can transfer to an American university of your choice to complete your degree.

With twinning programmes, the partner university (which you will obtain your degree from, and is usually the university that’s located abroad) is already decided right from the start.

Why Should You Take ADP?
ADP - Why ADP

There are many programmes that you can choose from, but here are some of the top reasons why you should take ADP.

(1) ADP is extremely flexible compared to other degrees
One of the most unique features of ADP is its flexibility, where you are able switch majors within 2 years if you decide to do so. This is especially great if you’re not sure what you want to study yet.

In addition, you can also complete your degree at your own pace by taking more or less subjects each semester. On average, students take 3 – 4 subjects per semester, but you can take as little as 2 subjects or as many as 6 subjects if you can handle it. The faster you accumulate the required credit hours for your degree (110 – 140 credit hours), the faster you can graduate!

With ADP, you are truly the captain of your own ship!

(2) It gives you exposure to different subjects beyond your chosen field
ADP emphasises on broad-based education, where you will be required to take courses outside of your chosen major. For example, an Engineering student will take courses related to Social Science and Humanities, while Business students will take courses related to Science. This will give you a more well-rounded experience to work effectively with other people outside your field.

With at least 3-4 different subjects every semester, ADP will expose you to at least 30 – 40 different subjects by the time you graduate!

(3) It is a great chance to develop your interpersonal skills
The ADP education emphasises on learning instead of exams. With a continuous learning and testing system, you will be heavily involved in projects, coursework, presentations, extra- and co-curricular activities. Most of the time, you are constantly working or communicating with others.

Students are often expected to speak, ask, or even (politely) challenge your lecturers during discussions in and outside of class. You will be groomed to possess strong communication and presentation skills.

(4) ADP is your passport to enter American universities
ADP is a popular and cost-efficient option if you wish to study in the USA, but want to spend 1-2 years in Malaysia first. It will also ensure that you are well-prepared for the American style of education that focuses on interactive learning and classroom participation.

MCKL Leaderboard-ADP

Who Is ADP For?
ADP - You Are Suited If You

You should consider taking ADP if:
You prefer continuous assessment via presentations, tests and assignments, with minimal score contribution from final exams
You are interested in creative and interactive learning
You enjoy the flexibility of choosing different subjects from different fields
You want to study overseas, especially in the USA and Canada
ADP - You Are Not Suited If You

You should NOT consider taking ADP if:
You strongly prefer academically-heavy learning (e.g. assessed based only on exams)
You can’t stand studying and switching between different subjects all the time
You do not enjoy projects, speaking in public or interacting with your peers
You are still unsure whether you want to study abroad or locally
MCKL Leaderboard-ADP

What Subjects Should You Choose For ADP?
This will be different for every student as it highly depends on your chosen Major.

For example, here is a sample study plan if you plan to major in Business (2+2 programme):

Area Subject Credit Hours Total Credit Hours
Language English Composition I 3 3
Mathematics Calculus for Business I 3 6
Calculus for Business II 3
Natural Sciences
(choose 2)

Biological Science 4 6 - 8
Fundamentals of Chemistry 4
Nutrition 3
Physics 3
Social Sciences
(choose 2)

American Government 3 6 - 8
General Psychology 4
Sociology 4
Communications
(choose 1)

Advertising 3 3
Public Relations/Speech 3
Fine Arts
(choose 1)

Introduction to Music 4 3 - 4
Foundations of Acting 3
Major-Related Courses
(Business)

Introduction to Business 3 30
Accounting I 3
Accounting II 4
Microeconomics 3
Macroeconomics 4
Statistics 3
Business Law 3
Buyer and Consumer Behaviour 4
Human Resource Management 3
7 Areas Covered 57 - 62 Credits
As you can see, you will be required to take subjects that are outside of your chosen major,

And since you opted for a 2+2, you will obtain approximately 60 credits in Malaysia, transfer these 60 credits to be accepted by an American university abroad, and complete the remaining 50 – 80 credits at the receiving university (typically 110 – 140 credits required to graduate).

If you choose a different major (e.g. Communications), there will likely be a much longer list of subjects to complete under the “Communications” area, and the required credits under the “Business” area will be reduced to 1 – 2 subjects instead.

Pro Tip: Certain universities may only allow a maximum of 60 credit hours to be transferred. Some may allow slightly less or more. Always check with your college counsellors to avoid taking excessive credits in Malaysia, and not being able to transfer them later on!
