Do the Philippines have a prerequisite courses?

Question

I currently taking some prerequisite courses here n da US but then yea u know some students don't pass one subject, then if you pass at least C u can go up to the next level but if u dont pass it, well u have to take it again next semester. I think it is so hard as a non native speakers. Low to the advance level subject in order to go to the Program that you really want to take it. Is it the same stuff in the Philippines? I heard most filipino - american who wants to go back to the Philippines, they want to study there b cuz they said it is easy, and dont have a so much time to repeat some classes next semester. I thank god to my friend because, he wants to study there for 1 yr ( Nurse LVN), so he doesnt want to take any prerequisite courses there.

so US and Philippines are just similar.

While getting an education here in the Philippines is cheaper it is NOT necessarily easier. Some schools are easier than other but then you have to worry about passing the professional licensing examination / returning to America with accredidation. The Philippines has three schools listed as the best 1000 schools in the world but you wont skate by. You need a high school deploma and a GPA of 85+ just to enroll. Classes are conducted in English so your handicap would not disappear. You can get a tutor fairly easy.
If you fail a course you must take it again before advancing. I know one Silliman University student who has taken Chemistry 9 times.
Your friend ill be disappointed. All good Universities have pre-requisite courses. The Nursing exam is conducted at the national level and NOT easy. With the latest cheating scandal it is even harder.
In addition the quality of the instruction is not as high as it is in America. Many instructors are authoritarian , inflexible and poor in English (causes problems in that the courses are taught in English)
If you are looking for an "easy route" to a nursing degree/ticket.....I do not think the Philippines is the answer
I suggest you work at improving your English and get a good tutor.....You are VERY lucky......there are thousands of students here who would jump at a chance to be where you are.....I know a top nursing graduate who can not get a job here.....

In order to attend college in the Philippines, you must have a high school diploma or an equivalent. You must also pass the national aptitude exams and the entrance exam from the school you want to attend. There are also grade requirements depending on the school and the course you're going to take. Depending on the course and the school, some courses are categorized as quota courses, meaning you don't only have to pass the requirements and the examination, you have to be in the top 10 percentile of the examinees to get a slot. I don't think it's necessarily easier to study in the Philippines, the cost of education is just much cheaper than in the United States.

Hi! Neurophysiology is actually similar to Neurology, except it focuses on the non-pathological aspects of Neurology - such as Sleep and Cognition. Several hospitals in Manila offer Neurology as a Residency Training Program. Neurophysiology is included here. If you want more detailed individual courses on Neurosciences, such as Neurophysiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, or Behavioral Neuroscience, then you will need to go to the United States or in Singapore. If you just want a basic program on Neurophysiology, you can enroll in a "Biological Psychology" class in your College or University. It basically has a similar format but significantly less details. .

Answer 4

that means the Philippines has better teachers than America
