Since the past three weeks,I was in Preparatory Programme for Overseas Universities(PPOU). All PPOU students are joining together with engineering foundation students. In foundation level,there are lots of critical subjects the students have to learn. These include Physics, Mathematic, Chemistry, English, Academic Study Skills and last but not least, International English Language Testing System(IELTS). Swimming course is also provided here. Actually, the Preparatory Programme will take 12 months of intensive learning period that is divided into 2 ½ semester. For the first semester, all of foundation students are to complete 18 credit hours of lectures a week. Lectures will run 15 weeks for the first semester.
Considering that there are lots of students with different sponsors, our cutting point is quite different depend on who our sponsor is. The ministry of education have recommended the students with the scholarship of the ministry to pass the cutting point of 3.25. It looks quite hard but I’ll try all my might to obtain good result in the examinations.
We have lecturers that seem to be very concerned about our studies. We have Puan Fatimah as English lecturer as well as Academic Study Skills lecturer for MOE student class. She seems to be very dedicated and caring lecturer who is always putting her greatest efforts to help me going through this intensive programme. The programme has provided me adequate courses in preparation as an international student in any of the foreign universities around the world. In deed, one has to be independent while studying abroad and this programme has gradually built up my confidence, motivation, and skills for a new life in overseas. Thank you.
