Masters abroad with Virtual University BS and PU ADP
Hi everyone, this post is for fellow Pakistani students and alumni currently in Malaysia.
I recently completed my BS Commerce with a CGPA of 3.7 and also scored an overall band 8 in IELTS Academic.
My academic pathway is slightly non-traditional as I initially completed part of my bachelor’s studies through Punjab University, and later completed the remaining degree requirements through Virtual University. My final degree and transcripts are recognized as 4 year degree and HEC attested.
Recently, I came across discussions suggesting that some Pakistani students may face visa or admission issues because of having multiple transcripts or transfer/exemption-based academic histories, even when their qualifications are legitimate and officially recognized.
I would really appreciate guidance from anyone who has had a similar experience or knows whether this type of academic background creates problems for:
- admission into Malaysian master’s programs, or
- student visa approval through EMGS.
Thank you in advance for any honest advice or shared experiences.
