NOTE

*Candidates with a pass in Mathematics at SPM level need to take and pass the reinforcement Mathematics subject that is equivalent to the SPM level. The reinforcement Mathematics subject must be offered in the first semester or before enrolment with unconditional offer.

**DKM/DLKM/DVM candidates may be required to undergo Bridging Programme as an additional requirement.

Students are required to pass the reinforcement Mathematics before being allowed to take related core courses. The candidate can sit for any subjects that did not indicate Mathematics as a prerequisite.

Reinforcement Mathematics can contribute to the overall graduating credit.

Students from Matriculation / Foundation or its equivalent can be exempted from taking reinforcement Mathematics, provided that the Mathematics offered at that programme level is equivalent / more than the Mathematics offered at an SPM level.
