Here’s a quick guide to subjects you should take according to some popular areas of study—but do note that for many degree programmes like business, law, management, and psychology, there are no specific or compulsory subjects. This is good news for those who have yet to decide on what bachelor degree to pursue.

Disclaimer: The subjects listed in this table serve merely as a guide. Students need to find out from specific institutions what their exact subject requirements are. These institutions may also specify a minimum grade for these subjects.

Note to students: Before you decide, you are advised to check the application guidelines of the course providers. Every course has different requirements, and may specify a combination of requirements: e.g. SPM or Pre-U or its equivalent), specific subjects at a minimum grade, language proficiency, etc. Finding out more from the respective universities’ admission department will enable you to work towards achieving the required subject grades.
