Or should i go for computer science/ information systems in the local unis but I've not much interest in it and didn't do well for the programming modules in poly. Also, I'm afraid that there are too much foreign talents coming to do the IT jobs at a cheaper price and I won't have much career progression by then. Is it really worth to go to a local uni but a course that you have a background on but not interest?

Any other options? My main interest is math and statistic. Money wise is not much of a problem but of cos I'd want to spend as little as possible! |
The overseas unis which you have mentioned are somewhat considered as tier 2, in terms of reputation. My suggestion would be for you to study at our local universities, even if it's a course which you don't fully like. Avoid the private education route if you can avoid it. The quality of their programmes may not be good and more importantly, the private degrees aren't as recognised as those from local universities. For instance, many top tier MNCs and civil service don't recognise private degrees.
