Entry to Level 2 of the Degree

Diploma

• Successful completion of the APU/APIIT Engineering Diploma and fulfilment of requirements for Credit Transfer, subject to the approval of the APU Academic Board.
• OR Successful completion of a Diploma in Engineering with other recognised Institutions and fulfilment of requirements for Credit Transfer, subject to the approval of the APU Academic Board.

Additional Notes

• Any qualification that APU accepts as equivalent to the above.
• The above entry requirements may differ for specific programmes based on the latest programme standards published by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). The qualification and entry requirements for the programmes will be determined based on the "Comparison List of Equivalency of International Qualifications with SPM (O-Levels equivalent) and STPM (A-Levels equivalent)" published by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
• Candidates who wish to study Engineering Degree courses must not be color blind or physically handicapped which makes them unable to conduct experimental/practical work and affect the learning process leading to potential errors towards professional practice. This is in line with the requirements of engineering professional bodies where safe engineering practices are mandatory. All International Students need to go through EMGS Medical Screening. If the student is found to be color blind, the Medical Screening may be failed.
