As far as we know there isn't many Private Institutions offering undergraduate Psychology course in Malaysia. Being a student who is interested to pursue a degree in Psychology myself, I used to face difficulty on getting information that I wanted/needed after I completed my SPM(equivalent to GCE "O" Levels). When I was at college, I was quite surprise to find that most of my course mates doesn't know WHERE and HOW to acquire for such information. They just enroll and study without knowing what's their next direction?
I'm doing this writeup hoping that it will be useful to prospect students of Psychology. Take note that I'm not endorsing any of the institutions mentioned nor being affiliated to them. This will just serve as a shallow platform of information and It's based on my personal survey with limited resources, therefore I do not guarantee full accuracy of information provided as institutions mentioned might alter them from time to time.
To date, there are 5 private institutions that offers Undergraduate Psychology course;
HELP University College
- Offers their own 3+0 HELP University College Bachelor of Psychology(Hons) Program under the Faculty of Behavioral Sciences
- Students may also opt to transfer credits to leading universities in Australia, United Kingdom or New Zealand
Sunway University College
- Offers Bachelor of Psychology(Hons), a joint Honours Degree with Lancaster University under the Department of Psychology
- Offers a 3+0 Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Psychology under the School of Social Science & Liberal Arts.
- Student may opt for UCSI's International Degree Pathway with Universties in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom or USA
Monash University, Malaysia Campus
- Offers 3+0 Bachelor of Arts with a few major to choose from, Communication, International Studies, Writing and Psychology. Offered under the School of Arts and Sciences.
- Under the School of Business Bachelor of Psychology & Business is being offered as well.
University Tunku Abdul Rahman
- Offers 3+0 Bachelor of Social Science (Hons) Psychology program under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences(FAS)
All 5 institutions requires student to go through a Pre-University programme before being allowed to enroll into their undergraduate programme. It could be the generally accepted GCE 'A' Levels, STPM, AUSMAT, SAM, CIMP to name a few, or the institution's very own foundation programme. However, due to the fact that there is no 1 standardized foundation programme in Malaysia, every institution sets their own standard for their offered foundation programme. Students who opt for Institution's own foundation program may need to resit certain subject papers if they were to transfer to another institution.
My next writeup would be Private Institutions That Offers Undergraduate Psychology Course - via American Degree Programme.
