If you’re looking for a bridge to your degree, you’ve got three heavy hitters: STPM, Matriculation, and Foundation.
STPM is the marathon—it’s tough, highly respected globally, and incredibly affordable. Matriculation is a fast-track, government-funded program designed to get you straight into public universities in just one year. Then there’s Foundation, which is usually a one-year “express” route tailored to a specific field (like Law or Engineering) at a particular university.
Whether you want a challenge, a quick win, or a specialized start, pick the one that fits your pace and future goals!
