If you want a faster route, take foundation or specifically foundation of agricultural science in UPM. But if you prefer slower route, then take dkhp in UPM too but in Bintulu, Sarawak.<br /><br />2. I think so, my batch right now 2020,the students that will be interviewed are 220+ students and maybe the intake will be only 100 students. For clinical experience, yes UPM have a lot of farms which is advantage for you especially during practical. If you are lucky, you will be able to go to one of this farm during your foundation in UPM. As for me, I had the opportunity to visit the cow farm and it was very fun.<br /><br />3. Yeah, indeed. After reading all those comments.<br /><br />4. NAHHH, i dont think so. In UPM, those lecturers are very kind and caring. Believe me. I love all of the lecturers.

Don't worry, this post was made 10 years ago. Now a lot of things have changed. The people handling your orientation week will be very matured, responsible, competent, fun people! You will have a great time being a vet student at UPM in Kolej 17. So don't worry, if you're lucky, I'll see you when you enter the program! Try to apply for Asasi Sains Pertanian UPM, you'll have a higher chance of getting into the Vet Faculty that way. :) -NAA, DVM2020Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-75087767157570294892016-03-23T21:22:04.206+08:002016-03-23T21:22:04.206+08:00Hi, I'd like to ask, is the condition of the h...Hi, I'd like to ask, is the condition of the hostel rooms in upm or other public unis really bad?

However, if u enjoy pharm(vet-agro) sales and tech service in vet-farm allied companies, then u could be better off, but travels alot. working as farm vets- argh...(sucks??), u will be like a farm hand or farm boy playing with dirt and filth. set up your own business is an option, into farming (pig, poultry, diary etc), pet breeding, clinical practice, pharm-trading etc. most vet practice also involve trading of vet-pharm, equiptments etc to supplement their incomes. Vet degrees (DVM, UPM and BVSc, UMK) in msia are not recognised elsewhere! I would suggest u attempt the MRCVS exams immediately after graduation while your knowledge is still intact. MRCVS mmbership allows u to work overseas including Spore, HKong, Macau, Austr, NZ, and UK (subject to immigration rulings). u can also try pass the US and Canada licenciates to work there. overseas employment prospects for vets are brighter than medic. i stress again, MRCVS is worth the trouble as it opens doors abroad. MRCVS (equivalent to MRCP, MRCS specialist of medic) involves exams: written, clinical, oral and practical over several days in UK, thus it costs quite a bit to be there. Some of UPM grads are members. after all, one needs to spend almost RM1million to grad in the 1st world vet schools.

My parents kept telling me that being a vet in Malaysia is not worth it, they told me that I can study anything but wouldn't be able to support myself well after being a vet. I wonder if anyone can tell me how is life as a vet in Malaysia? Sorry I had to post it here but there's very less people talking about vet in Malaysia, it's usually all the westerners but they would say it's good. I hope you all could really really really help me in this or I might have to give up on my dream without even knowing about the chances.

UPM offers both diploma(Diploma Kesihatan Haiwan dan Penternakan Kampus Bintulu, Sarawak) and foundation(Asasi Sains Pertanian in Serdang, Selangor). I don't know if there is a foundation at private universities that will lead to DVM course in public universities because normally foundation leads to the degree course in the university itself and I think it is a waste of money to take private university then end up in public university. If you want to study overseas then take A-level/SAM/AUSMAT in private universities then take DVM overseas. Here is the list of approved institutions overseas To enter UPM vet course, after SPM take Diploma in Animal Health and Production(Kesihatan Haiwan dan Penternakan) in UPM Bintulu, Sarawak. Then, take DVM in UPM Serdang or if you want to shorten the years, take matrics or Asasi Sains Pertanian in UPM itself instead of diploma because diploma takes 3 years. Then, take DVM. You can also take STPM then take DVM in UPM. There is also a course in DVM that I heard in UMK. Their first graduates was in 2014. Note: You need to score 3.80+ to compete in taking DVM.
