Never mind,I got my answers from the UK campus.
Sorry guys  blush.gif

So is it the same?

I've read the first page and learned that accreditation isn't that important in Malaysia but is the Masters of Engineering in Nottingham recognized by the engineering boards of Malaysia?

Also, for those that are studying there, how did you guys settled the financial need to study there? (I'm assuming you guys aren't filthy rich)

How much is it to live there every month? Inclusive of accomodation, food, entertainment etc.

1. Are the lecturers in Nottingham local or foreigners? (Engineering)
2. Is the Masters in Nottingham recognized by the board of Malaysia?
3. Would a student doing chemical engineering and another doing electrical/mechanical share any same class?
4. Are the cocuricular active in Nottingham?
5. Are the sports facilities good? How is the gym there?
6. For chemical engineering students, does the course emphasize more on physics or chemistry and specifically what physics/chemistry (Thermodynamics, Organic Chemistry, Dyanamics. Mechanics?)
7. Is it more advisable to live on campus or off campus nearby?
8. Are the meals there decent? Not too expensive is it?
9. What's the maximum amount possible to be loaned from PTPTN?
10. In what period of time am I to return the loan? (20 years) How much is it to roughly pay per month?
11. What are the required grades to receive a first class honor?

12. Honest opinion, is it a school worth going where you feel if you've learned a lot? (Engineering)
13. Are there alot of hands-on projects given to play with? How are the academic facilities there? (Lab, Resources for project, etc.)
14. How are the people there? (Their attitude, work ethics, will to excel, intelligence, competitiveness, confidence etc)

1. There are locals and there are foreigners
2. This im not sure, but my lecturer once told me that for engineering, if MEng is recognised, then MsC is too
3. Yes, common one is engineering maths in year 1, are the same..but that also depends on the class size, if the students for, lets say chem eng is too big, then dont need to share, but if both classes of students can fit into one, then yeah they can share...most of the time chem eng no need to share, becoz there are always a lot of intakes taking chem eng
4. Generally speaking, yes
5. We have basketball courts, tennis courts, squash courts, badminton courts, swimming pool, a football field, a gym, what else...... the gym itself, i went there in year 1, didnt go back since coz it was quite a mess...but i dont know now
6. Well in year 1 u have fluid mechanics, some organic chemistry, and also thermodynamics...in year 2 there's thermodynamics again...not sure bout year 3, but in year 4 there's higher level of fluid mechanics...i would say it's pretty even, maybe more onto chemistry? but then again chemical engineering is much more than just a chemistry/physics course
7. For year 1 students, it's advisable to stay on campus..but if u have a car, then i personally prefer to stay off, the rent is much cheaper..
8. Decent is probably the right word, nothing more... some prices are acceptable, and some are not.. the stall at the back of the cafeteria, would charge higher like rm8-10 for a plate
9. this im not sure
10. this im not sure
11. 70 and above
12. yes..the engineering course here is very good, perhaps one of the best in the country...but i personally regretted, coz i could have gone to curtin which is just driving distance away from my home but i chose to fly all across to here laugh.gif
13. u will have quite a lot of exposure to lab work every year...the lab itself is quite well equipped...
14. the people as in the students? like usual there will be those hardworking ones and those who slack(like meĀ  biggrin.gif )

I try to answer as best I could.

Well thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
Do alot of people graduate with 1st class honor?
Also, how many people are there in a class?
Is Curtin better?

So how much is the rent to stay off campus? Did you do your own laundry and stuffs?
Basically how much is your expenses a month?
Which is the place student usually stay? What facilities does it come with?

Oh and for the application, will there be an interview? Does everyone that applies get Nottingham?

And to be honest, I haven't made up my mind to which engineering course to study. Mechanical or Chemical.
My A Level grades are as followed
Mathematics A*
Further Maths A*
Physics A*
Chemistry B

Reason I'm considering chemical engineering is because I'm good at physical chemistry and organic chemistry but terrible at inorganic chem. Also because there's high demand for chemical engineers.

What are the starting salary like for Nottingham freshgrads?

oh even if you are good at chemistry or not it doesnt really matter... studying chemical engineering is a different from studying chemistry, chemical engineers are not chemist... in fact that's always the general misconception about chemical engineering... same goes to mechanical, some people equate it with being good in physics... so my advice is dont make a decision based on that

Great so what do I base it on?

How difficult is it to graduate with 1st class honors in Nottingham?
Where and what do Nottingham engineering grads usually work as?
What is the rough estimate of engineering freshgrad pays?
Is the Nottingham in Malaysia ranked the same as the UK one?

Hello everyone !

I'm very new here but I thought I'll join in. I read the questions crane posted and I have a few more I would like to add. I'm currently doing CAL at Taylor's College and I thought I'll do Civil Engineering at Nottingham.

1. What are the ratio of local to foreigner students ?
2. How are the lesson conducted? A huge lecture and then smaller tutorial class? Or more like how we are all used to in secondary school? If so, how big are the classes/tutorials?
3. Are the lecturers keen to stay back with you and help you with your problems/questions?
4. Why did you guys chose Nottingham ?
5. This is to the students doing Civil Engineering, what exactly do you guys learn? Is it more towards maths or physics? Maybe with more specific details? Because I'm not sure if this is the right course for me yet.

Thank you in advance guys.

Aly.
