Undergraduate Programme Exclusively offered through Direct Channel
Public Universities are now open direct entry routes to the university through a special channel aimed at providing other alternatives, especially to Diploma holders, post-secondary school leavers with STPM and other equivalent qualifications.
The Direct Channel 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 students who obtain high grades in STPM/ Diploma will apply and compete for popular programmes especially in Engineering and others.
-
No "Merit" Requirement for Entry
Unlike UPU, the application through the Direct Channel 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.
