Forging opportunities through higher education

SEGi Sarawak welcomes SPM leavers

BONDING....   Students from wide range of backgrounds and learn to live together as a close community.

 KUCHING – SEGi College Sarawak urges all SPM school leavers to maintain their study momentum and quickly continue their education beyond high school, as this will open doors and forge better opportunities for them in the future.

“It is important for them to answer the questions – do I need to just get a job, or do I need to continue my education to get a better job and start building a long-term, successful career?” said the Vice Principal of SEGi College Sarawak, Madam Elina Tiu.

She also emphasizes that students need to keep an open mind and hold off on specializing until they have truly explored their limitations and talents: “Self-assessment can be tricky for anyone, but with a little work, you can arrive at a realistic yet motivating understanding of your skills. College is a perfect time for self-awakening and discovering talents where they begin to see who they are, who they want to be and take the necessary steps to get there.”

SEGi College Sarawak is giving SPM students the opportunity to elevate their academic qualifications to diploma or degree when they register for their programmes with only RM500.

This gives many students the chance to afford degree and diploma programmes that they previously could not afford as this offer is backed by a government loan.

“And because students have the option to complete their entire degree or diploma programme in Kuching, they can save thousands of Ringgit especially when doing a UK Honours Degree or an American Bachelor of Science Degree.”

SPM students can also save time by entering the foundation programme, linking them directly to a degree programme, instead of opting for STPM, which takes 2 years to complete.

This golden opportunity will enable the students to complete their UK Honours degree up to one year ahead of their peers.

Another partner university of SEGi, Upper Iowa University in the USA, allows direct entry from the SPM level into the foundation year of the 4-year bachelor degree.

“SEGi has structured its programmes as well as linked itself with many reputable foreign universities in UK, USA and Australia to give its students maximum career options without the financial worries,” said Tiu.

In addition, choosing the option of studying in Kuching will shave off additional expenditures like accommodation and living expenses overseas, not to mention the higher currency exchange rates.

Since the degree is issued by internationally recognised universities, there is no difference in the degree certification that graduates are getting here compared to those studying on-campus overseas.

“The College has in the past helped many students and we are continuing to do so year after year, from guiding them into the ideal programme of interest to sorting out their financial constraints so that they may gain qualifications to secure better jobs.”

SEGi is one of Malaysia’s largest private education groups, serving the best education to over 27.000 local and international students.  With six major campuses and a new campus opening in Perak, the SEGi Group has embarked on an ambitious expansion programme to materialize their educational visions.

With over two decades of excellent educational experience and a strong reputation for its Law, Business, Accounting, Marketing and IT programmes, as well as its latest additional Health Science programmes - Diploma in Nursing and Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology, SEGi College Sarawak has nurtured thousands of graduates who have gone on to succeed in their careers and life.
