Okay hi guys, I've just posted in the Taylor's Uni thread, however I'm gonna repost here because I feel it's relevant


Taken from: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1332861/+1460
I'd be grateful for any help given!

Look thru the UCAS tariffs, you won't see your Diploma in there because it's a non-standard qualification.

In your UCAS application you'll be asked to include details of your educational qualification(s).

To find out whether yours will be acceptable, contact City directly.

lol! Desktop pc's are cheap here. £300+ buys you a pretty high end desktop. A 20" LCD is only about £120. Why the bother! If you really need your data and stuff, just save them onto an external harddrive and bring that over.

Added on September 11, 2011, 3:21 amCan't survive without Milo? tsk, tsk, tsk! Okay, one really good tip. Make sure your luggage has wheels. Good solid wheels that won't buckle after a few rounds! I remember mind f@rk up after I hit a bump at Heathrow. Also, don't bring unnecessary stuff that can only make you baggage heavy. In London, I had to use the tube extensively. Lugging those luggage 3 floors up and down the underground stations is no laughing matter! There are no lifts in most of the stations!

BTW September is a good time to travel. Weather is around 15 - 20c. Just pray it doesn't rain too much. Can be quite a bother.

Tq for ur info! It really helps a lot~

Hi, referring to the City requirements, it accepts BTEC.
I forgot to mention, my course awards a Brevet de Technicien Tourisme by Academie de Toulouse as well as a Taylor's awarded certificate.
Now, based on this (see under France), it says Brevet de Technicien is considered comparable to BTEC National Diploma standard. In other words, does this mean that I am able to use my French certificate to apply?

Well, good on you that they explicitly state that your qualification complies with a particular standard. At least it is acknowledged.

However I am not fully aware of the nature of your qualification and so I can't comment on it.

In any case, even if your qualification was not listed there, you would still apply with the same... nothing would change.

Anyone leaving this week ?
Or still waiting for their visa ?
Damn Sept came too soon

leaving on 20th,


300 quids could get a good desktop? DD:
only motherboards over there are cheaper tho.
Planning to move a 23 inch monitor over there
any ideas?

haha cool.
I'm leaving the next day after your flight
where are you heading to btw ?

if you don't mind carrying it and have the luggage allowance for it, why not?

oh dear, don't waste on the luggage allowance! save for things that you can't buy/expensive over here like food! LOL..

i'm thinking about going to aberdeen to do msc in engineering. anyone has any comment on that? please share ur thoughts.

Yes. Aim higher.

If you must go to Scotland, check if Edinburgh or St Andrews have an MSc in Engineering. Otherwise there are plenty of better schools in the UK. I know some are expensive, but why Aberdeen?

university of aberdeen is not that good? planning to take subsea engineering and very limited university offer this course. they r aberdeen, newcastle, strahclyde, and cranfield. u think which one is the best?

Well in that case, you should see whichever is best for you overall in terms of the course.

Lol

Aberdeen is famous for it's reserve of oil and gas.. perhaps location-wise it could help you one way or another (ie. looking for a job in O&G companies)
