Choosing your higher education pathway after SPM is not as simple as shopping for groceries. Aside from your results, you will also need to consider multiple factors.

Like …

  • What’s your budget?
  • Study near home or far away?
  • Study overseas?
  • Diploma or degree path?
  • What am I interested in?
  • Career prospects?

Once you start answering these questions, your options will start to narrow and the vision of your future will be clearer.

There are many types of higher education pathways to start off such as Foundation, International Pre-University, Diploma, and special degree programmes.

Instead of doing all that research, just use this cheat code and read our one-stop guide.

Once you have discussed this with your family, you can begin to look at your options as you explore your potential pathway after SPM.

2. Consult An Education Counsellor

5. Prepare Your Documents

Finally, once you have decided on your desired course and university, you will need to prepare your documents for the application process.

Course Application

For this, you will need to prepare a few things, including 

  1. A filled-out application form, 
  2. Your SPM results slip, 
  3. Registration fee payment receipt, and 
  4. A copy of your identification card (IC).

Applying on Uni Enrol’s website, we have made the form-filling experience a lot more seamless and convenient! Everything can be done online.

Funding Application

Next, you need to settle the financial to-dos.

  1. Do you plan to apply for a PTPTN loan?
  2. Or maybe a scholarship?

To apply PTPTN, you need to 

  • Create an SSPN-i account, 
  • Open a savings account at a panel bank, 
  • Buy a PTPTN number, and 
  • Fill in the PTPTN application online carefully!

For scholarships offered by the university, you will be asked for evidence of your academic and non-academic achievements. Some scholarships also require you to show the financial status of your household, so be sure to check what documents they want you to submit.

Did you know you can use your SPM Trial Results to apply for the scholarship? Uni Enrol helps you secure early so that they do not run out!

Study Abroad Application

Preparing your documentation is even more complex for overseas studies as you need to get ready all sorts of supporting documents such as medical test results, financial standing, school transcripts, personal statements and more. These relate to the application of

  • Foreign university transfer
  • Visa application
  • Student insurance

Engage a study abroad education consultant to avoid big mistakes in your application as it might get thrown out.
