Can i know is it the whole SAM course cost RM8550-RM10000?Which university or college offer this price?I had asked a famous private college it cost RM9895 1st semester..

I had check up a few private colleges locally. Found that the price had not agree with wat is mention above. It costs much more than wat is mentioned. Around 18k.

I think many of us would be glad if there is a list of fees for the pre-U courses.

The course fees are increasing years by years and it's impossible for us to list out the fees because we couldn't get it as easy as you think.We can't even check through online and the fees sometimes doesnt include the examination fees so please understand.

Sorry and thank you.

For S.A.M what university recognised this cource and if i
study S.A.M where can i furthur my studies after that ?

yeah..10k 4 1 sem..hu2~

why the fees is so expensive?
is that mean,the matriculation was held at overseas??
adakah sama matrik ini dan matrik tempatan?

SAM is recognised in most overseas countries and also in local private universities...
Obviously SAM is done in M'sia unless one would opt to do it overseas...
However,after ending the course,one could further their studies abroad or locally depends on their TER...
