Study in UK Visa Briefing and VISION 2010 - Upper 6
For U6 2008 (as well as U6 2009) today was the briefing for the new application procedures for student visa to UK. There's quite a bit to do, thus students are advised to apply for their visa at least 2 months before the date of departure. Of course, for most of our students, your studies are funded by the government thus there's not much for you to do at the moment but wait for news from the Scholarship Section. However, it's advisable to prepare now so that you will not regret later. More information can be found HERE
Today was also the kickstart of VISION for Upper Sixth 2009, with plans of entry to University in 2010, coordinated by Ck Pg Hjh Mashayu. For those of you who turned up, congratulations for taking a proactive and dynamic role in shaping your future. You will not regret it. I promise you!
Those who came obtained the following,
1. HEU Research file - complete with all your post A level options.
2. Form A & Form B - This needs to be completed by AUGUST 2009 where you will then meet with your counsellor along with a copy of your personal statement.
3. A-level prediction forms and HEU counselling record - this was completed on the spot and returned to the counsellors, indicating that they have now REGISTERED formally for VISION with HEU.
Click HERE for more information on VISION.
Once again, if you have not gone for VISION, make an appointment with your counsellor as soon as possible. InsyaAllah the HEU will conduct a personal statement workshop in July to help those who want to make a good personal statement in time for UCAS application in September.
In the mean time, good luck for the June AS level exams!
On Tuesday 5th May Ck Pg Hjh Mashayu also introduced VISION 2011 to the lower sixth students who were a very attentive audience. Prepare now for a better future! :)

Greetings from Michigan
As taken from the MD HEU Facebook page, a lovely message from an Ex-MDian Norzaidah Mardani, a 2008 MinDef Scholar who is now studying Political Science at University of Michigan
Salam :)
I am from the MD 06/07 intake and Alhamdulillah I am now studying in the United States-- well, in the state of Michigan to be exact, majoring in Political Science and another major or minor to be decided soon insyaAllah.
I am a freshman (US term for first year student) with sophomore standing. Basically that means in terms of American college level, I am a second year student. A lot of universities consider Advanced Levels as a first year status. I am currently enrolled at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor campus. It's a public university, meaning it's funded for by Michigan taxpayers and the federal government. The university is well known for having many of the courses listed as top ten in the United States. In my case, Political Science is ranked fourth, just after Yale University.
My decision to elect Political Science stemmed from my own interest in politics and history. The term 'political science' is to come up with an objective, systematic way of analyzing political climate. Having been a student at Maktab Duli, with Sociology, History and Literature in English, I thought that the analytical skills and argumentative approach would be of great advantage to my chosen field of interest.
The University of Michigan is located just a few minutes downtown Ann Arbor, a small town, yet vibrant and diverse in its community. Alhamdulillah, as far as my experience is concerned, halal food is not a problem and safety-wise, the University places that as top priority for its students. There is also an Islamic Center just a few minutes away from the University's Engineering campus.
The university uses many abbreviations, given the numbers of other state-run universities carrying the name Michigan-- U of M, UMich (pronounced mish), or simply Michigan when you're one of the students here. Michigan is pretty much well-known for its Big Ten tournament, the Midwest regional championship for college American football. Our school mascot is a wolverine (yes, I found out it is a real animal) and we live by the colors maize yellow and blue. It is a tradition to wear maize yellow or any Michigan paraphernalia when one watches the college team play and the Michigan Stadium (also known as the big house) prides itself in being the largest stadium dedicated to football in the world.
Among Michigan's famous graduates are playwright Arthur Miller (All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible), late US President Gerald Ford, and of course the Golden Boy, Olympic medalist Michael Phelps.
Although the state of Michigan is located at the northern region of America, with unpredictable winter season and frigid weather (-21 degrees Celsius and barely bright sunshine), it makes us appreciate the environment (warm weather is indeed a blessing even if for a few hours) for one thing. Having come all the way Brunei and never experienced snow, I find that winter season was indeed a trying time. But Alhamdulillah, the flowers have bloomed on the roadsides, so we all think spring has finally arrived. :)
I would have to say that the journey is not easy, as far as the struggle with Advanced Levels is concerned. Being away from the comforts of home can be a huge challenge even for me, but with Allah's guidance and (very important!) the right crowd/circle of friends, and not be afraid to speak up and use the resources available in the university, the journey will be at most smooth sailing insyaAllah. What's not to love about spending a day out in the park when it's nice outside, and read a book or feed the squirrels to take your mind off schoolwork?
And I have to say this myself: It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

HECAS Reminder
Last week, on Thursday 26th February, the HEU welcomed officials from the Scholarship Unit and the Higher Education Section from the Department of Schools who came by to look into how HECAS was functioning in the college.
The students who happened to be doing their HECAS application and research in the library were quite lucky as they were able to ask their questions directly to the people who will handle their applications.
Important things we learnt during this visit were as follows,
If you are resitting for exams in June, you need to indicate this fact in your forms. You can note this down in the 'Other Examination Results' section.
If you are applying for a scholarship, it helps to also include which overseas Universities you have applied/are applying to.
For this year, you can ask for your HECAS form to be sent back to you by emailing admission@hecas.edu.bn . This is because they understand that the system is new and that it takes a bit of getting used to. However in the future they have indicated that they will not be so accomodating so do your research first before sending it in!
The deadline for HECAS is now 15th March 2009. Please sort out your applications BEFORE this!
On behalf of the College, HEU thanks Hj Azis and Dr. Teh for coming over and being involved in supporting and helping out the students. Thank you!

The HECAS terminals are now available at HEU Maktab Duli and they are open to the public to use.
However, please note that you have to bring your IC and be dressed in smart and proper attire, well suited for government buildings before the terminals can be used.
I have heard that there are a few hiccups with the system but I am sure that the proper authorities are trying to fix this to the best of their abilities so please bear with them. You have about a week left so please try and get your HECAS forms sorted out by Monday next week (after the UBD roadshow and UNISSA openday)
More importantly, see your adviser!

HECAS - Update
By now most of you are now familiar with HECAS and have seen what it looks like. Please bear in mind that this is a pilot project so hiccups along the way are expected. Here are a couple of things you need to know,
Section A.
PLEASE PUT mdheunit@gmail.com AS YOUR SECOND EMAIL ADDRESS.
This will enable us to track your status of your higher education applications and also lets us update your student files accordingly!
Section B
Sociology is not in the list so put under 'Others'
Please do the same for your other language AS subjects as well,especially if you don't take General Paper.
The code for English Literature is not correct, we have already informed the correct authorities of this. If you're worried, then put your grade under 'Others'.
If you are sitting for your June exams, you can say so under the 'Other Remarks' section.
Section C
THIS NEEDS TO BE GONE THROUGH WITH YOUR HIGHER EDUCATION ADVISER!
This part is especially important because once youve sumbitted, you cannot change this again so its best to give this part a LOT of thought. See your HEA please!
For those of you who have already submitted your HECAS forms (although I strongly do not recommend this yet) please print out a copy and give to your Higher Education Adviser asap.
For the public, at the moment, the four terminals as promised by DST have yet to be received by Maktab Duli. We will inform you as soon as they arrive.
Thank you.

Didn't get the grades that you wanted?
As with all things, there are times when things don't just pan out the way you want them to.
But it's OK, it's not the end of the world.
If you have Two Cs and above, there's a good chance you can apply for a place to do your FIRST DEGREE at UBD, UNISSA and ITB, depending on your subject combination.
If you have at least ONE A LEVEL PASS (an A level pass is an A-E in any A level subject) look towards doing an HND in ITB or Overseas.
Take note that to do an HND overseas under the MOE scholarship, these are the requirements,
- Brunei Citizen
- 5 ‘O’ Levels including Bahasa Melayu
- ‘O’ Level English Language or IELTS 6.0
- 140 UCAS tariff points in 2 ‘A’ Levels
You can also apply for a scholarship to do a diploma where the requirements are,
- Brunei Citizen
- 6 ‘O’ Levels incl. Bahasa Melayu, Maths and 2 Sciences
- ‘O’ Level English Language or IELTS 6.0
- 80 UCAS tariff points or Grade C in 1 ‘A’ Level
You can retake your subjects in JUNE to boost your grades but please be reminded, Scholarship Unit looks at your grade IN ONE SITTING. You cannot choose your best grades over a period of Nov and June.
Those with 5 O level credits can try applying for a Diploma in Nursing/Midwifery at the Institute of Medicine in UBD.
You can also try looking at what Maktab Teknik Sultan Saiful Rijal has to offer. You need a minimum of 4 O level credits to enter. It's a longer route towards higher education but you will study at a more comfortable pace with a practical hands on approach. Check the HEU notice board for courses available at MTSSR.
Lastly dear students, please do not be discouraged, if there is a will, there is a way. You make your own fortune :)

Your Local Higher Education Options - Part THREE - UBD
The advertisement for courses and entry requiremen will be out very very soon. HOwever the information that you find here are general notes adn tips which you might find useful to know.
UBD will now be offering only four types of degree programmes, namely
All the Education and Malay medium programmes have now been scrapped and are only available as graduate school. If you want to become a teacher you have to take a degree first to become a specialist in your area of interest and only once you graduate do you proceed to do yours Masters In Teaching where you will then be qualified to teach your area of speciality.
These four degree programmes will be part of the New Generation programme where a Discovery Year would be introduced. Students will have the option of taking a year abroad as exposure to life outside of Brunei. More details of this can be found during the STUDY IN UBD expo held in the middle of February or at the UBD ROADSHOW which will be held in Maktab Duli on the 21st of February.
New courses will be available, which are BSc in Physical Education (twinning programme with UWIC) , Bsc in Nursing and Bsc in Midwifery. There will no longer be a certificate in Nursing. However Diploma in Nursing/Midwifery is still available and will require 5 O levels – English, MAths, Science, Malay.
There will still be degree programmes where the medium of instruction will be in Malay. This is under the BA programme where students can take Major in Bahasa Melayu, Minor in Malay linguistics. Career choices are quite limited for this course though. However it is important to note that there must be a credit in English, despite it being a malay medium programme.
Art will be considered as a relevant A level subject, but only for the BA programmes.
Interviews will only be conducted for the more competitive programmes, in this case Bsc Physical Education and entrance to IM courses.
Students must be aware of how important it is that English O level must be a credit in order to attain entry to higher education institutions. This applies even to those who wish to enter Malay Medium degree programmes. If you do not have your ENglish O level yet, your option is to take the IELTS exam. You need a score of 6.0 to enter UBD.
Art/Malay/Syariah/Usuluddin are possible subject combinations for entrance to BA degree programmes but it must be cautioned though that chances for employment are quite challenging for those who choose these subjects. It is best that those with these subjects look at KUPUSB instead. Take note that entry is competitve as they only have a limited intake each year and they are looking for those who genuinely want to become religious education teachers.
Lastly, Students should be aware that the advantage of studying at UBD rather than overseas would be that you will not be bonded at the end of the course.
Dont forget, STUDY IN UBD - 12-15th February.

Later in late 2002, an agreement was reached for Diamond Gas Carriers B.V. to take stake of 25% of shares in the Company from The Shell Petroleum Limited, and become the third member of the Company.
BST owns seven ‘B’ class vessels; the Bubuk, Bilis, Bekalang, Bekulan, Belais, Bebatik and Belanak, all of which are chartered to BLNG.
BST will be holding a talk for MDMPAMB's students.
