Hey anyone doing foundation yr in engineering starting April?

Hi,Im going to take foundation in Eng~~~

I'm starting my foundation in engineering in April too.

Nottingham is getting more and more B¡tchy.

1.) There's a fee for accepting their offer (RM1k)
2.) The High Achiever Scholarship is not eligible for subsequent years anymore on top on the fact that the minimum requirement has increased.
3.) To get a scholarship from Nottingham for Year 2 and 3, instead of having to score only 65%.. you must now score at the top of 10% in your class.
4.) They have not changed their accommodation management company despite the agony of their students. (just something extra to add, really)


zOMG! I shouldn't have taken a gap year!

If i'm not mistaken, the acceptance fee is just a initial deposit from your fees. You still play the same total amount, just that you pay the $1000 of the total fees first.

Nope you're not... but it's a big hole to my family budget nonetheless. :s because in order to apply for scholarships (and PTPTN) you need an acceptance letter. That particular letter will not be given unless you accept your offer (paying fee that is). I'm not from a family with financial means, that is why this... thing.. here is really getting me frustrated.

Oh, I'm so sorry about that. Have you tried contact the school itself? Hope it works out for you. It is sort of unfair to pay the acceptance fee.

are there any black african in nott??

yes. but not as populous as the west asians (indian, pakistani, egyptian, that region).

manthew what course have you applied for? I sent in my application on 9 Feb and till now I'm still waiting for their reply.

"you must now score at the top of 10% in your class." This is like so OMG la, getting into Nottingham is already not an easy thing, they want you to be Top 10 somemore... If there are student who are really that academically capable. I think they would have been JPA-ed dy I guess?

They do not have the obligation to offer any form of scholarship, you know. Just saying...

My class got 12 people right now. Score top ten.........wtf 2 people only?!?!?!

I sent my application on the 19th but have yet to get a reply. But mine is on the September intake.

If you still haven't gotten a reply after 10 working days, please contact the Admin Office.

Hey synnn!! Mine's Sept intake as well.
What did you apply for? Glad to hear that I'm not the only one waiting now.

you should call them same thing happen to me so i called them n after tht i got the reply

I bugged them the moment the clock hit 12am. lol.

The UK campus actually uses that system as well. The top 10 or 10% (not sure about the actual cut-off) will get a bursary for their next academic year.

Hey Envoy how long you waited before you called? In fact I sent an email asking them about my application.

"We hope to get back to you as soon as this week" which was last Friday.

I'm still hesitating whether to call or not, duwanna make myself sounds like a nuisance.
