So at what stage do you have to decide if you are going to Poly/JC?Originally posted by sbst275:I really dunno how to explain this...
Ok... Poly offers diploma courses, mostly 3 year full time courses wheras JC offers 2 year A Lvl courses

Oh... There's good chances these days... In fact I did read an recent article, 1 poly in fact said 75% of its students eventually went on to the uni be it local or overseas in 5 years -

60 slots for 5 poly, go figure. -
during my time, at least for the local unis it was quite hard for poly grads to go to the local unis. needed to be like top 5 %. whereas for jc it was like 80 or 90% went in.Originally posted by honeymouse:So at what stage do you have to decide if you are going to Poly/JC?

I thot the local uni are still very "cat" about accepting poly grads?Originally posted by sbst275:Aft Secondary 4 O Levels exam..

Come to think of it...they shd be "cat" about it, otherwise the poly grads would be getting double the subsidies by going to uni after poly....no? Shd spread the opportunities to more folks.

Eh... I dunno but I believe as time go by, they are slowly opening up places... I might be wrong in thisOriginally posted by Wanda:I thot the local uni are still very "cat" about accepting poly grads?

JC students are getting better subsidy from the govt -
yupz.Originally posted by honeymouse:That's why many Singaporeans come to Oz to study?!
oh yeah poly is 3 years but in local unis you have 1 year off so it evens out the 2 for jc.
for overseas unis they normally ahve exceptions fo 1 or 2 years too, but some unis and course give 0.
A lvls if you don't go poly is pretty mcuh an O lvl cert while a diploma is well a cert. -
huh? how come double subsidies??Originally posted by Wanda:I thot the local uni are still very "cat" about accepting poly grads?

they should not be punishing the poly students because they are good..
it's gonna rain.. the sky just went 20 shades darker..
oi.. pinkybear.. turtlefood how? -
And some decided to stay here for good after they completed the course, like me except I'm not Singaporean. If I don't stay in Oz, I'll most likely work in Singapore as a foreign talent as there's little opportunity in Brunei.Originally posted by elindra:yeah -
The education here is subsidised, don't you know? Even with the thousands of dollars of fees at the uni. So if they get diploma + degree, it's getting double subsidy.Originally posted by stellazio:huh? how come double subsidies??
Anyway, if you ask me, they're all just paper lah.

forgot to add.
no offence but from my experience, unless they go to those good unis, or are those creme of the crop types, most of the sg who go aussie or elsewhere to do undergrads only, either they are poly students who are unable to get into local unis( well i won't say they are lousy since its hard to get in) and jc students who weren't able to get into local unis. -

You forgot the group that actually went to go to poly coz they already had plans to go to an overseas university and no intentions of going to the local university and see the potential of saving fees by going to poly instead of jcOriginally posted by hisoka:forgot to add.
