Why not, university like Manchester university cost £13 - 14k per year while uni like MMU etc cost about £9k only

let's take the example of laws....

hertfordshire uni 9000 quid...

northumbria 9450...

liverpool uni 11,550 pounds...

cardiff uni 10,700 quid...

bath 11,600

doesn't seem to be very significantly different.....

LSE is at around 14,500 pounds... but consider that it's in London and that its name is worth infinitely more than a small Welsh or English university...

For 3 years, that's about 13,500 pounds more... nearly a full year's tuition at LSE, and certainly a full year's tuition and more at the sub 12k places. But when you think about it, if you limit your excesses, and plan your expenditure carefully, going to a place like LSE is only slightly more expensive than the other schools, once you've taken into account how much you'll be spending in total, in MYR terms - because if you can afford about 10,000-12,000 then 14,500 shouldn't be an issue.

Can anyone tell me whether there's such thing called 1st tier, 2nd tier, 3 tier...uni in UK ?

russell group.....surely.....

Any suggestions on which university for management/marketing/business studies?? Doesn't have to be chartered university as long as it is good.

always try russell group.....if you can get in....

next consider 1994 group.....

otherwise university alliance.....

at the bottom is the new post 92 unis group millions+.........

not much difference between the last 2 groups.....

always try russell group first.....

Any uni will be good for a very self-disciplined person

Because most lecturer in UK uni are no longer spoon feeding student.

The only thing to consider is the place you are going to live during your study.

Some student may find studying in uni which is near to city would be lively, but ended up lost focus due to too many of outing/ party etc and hence expenses raised.

Some tried to avoid those place but ended up always travel to some other place to visit friends etc which is again costing a bomb in travelling oftenly or finding it suffered trapping himself/herself in a 'Ulu' Place.

Hence self-disciplined is the key when you decide to study in oversea if you are aiming good study experience (or work experience if you are planning to do an industry work placement)

Many students aim for travelling when studying in oversea which is not quite appropriate in my opinion, instead should spend some time on study not only before exam or last minute before assignment submission.

May I boldly suggest that going overseas to study and get a degree is but one aspect of development. I think if you have the good fortune to study abroad, its imperative to open you heart and mind to the culture, the people and the sights and sounds of the country. Do join clubs and societies both in and out of university. There is a wealth of self-development that you can accomplished in you three - four years abroad.

If you have submitted your UCAS application and UKCAT for September 2012 and sitting for the A levels now, how soon will you get to know whether you will receive any offers or you will have to wait for those who are sitting for their A levels in May 2012 before you know the results of your application.

Of course you can

Well, student will get to come across with these during study / doing work placement naturally unless student choose to be on his/her own all the time.

That's what i thought too. Just afraid that the city life distracted me from studying. Besides, for me, the Uni famous names and the ranking doesn't really concern me. Afterall, it is me to do all the studying and taking exams.

But then, i have to choose my 1st and 2nd choice of uni. I'm not that smart. Just an average student that still need to put more effort just to pass my papers.

So, my budget is either Hertfordshire, Northumbria or Aberystwyth. Any suggestions?

P/S: LLB Degree

well...as i have always suspected,......people 'choose' tier 3 unis because they are easier to get in.....because cost is actually NOT that different....

but then again, it's the same in every country, i suppose....

Yes, because the requirements is not high. Honestly speaking, doing law to please my parents. I just wanna get over it fast. No offense here, my apologies.

law is a terrible course to do, if one is not interested.....talk to your parents about alternatives....

Thank you for your concern but i tried. I really tried. I'm losing my motivation to study. My close friends were sympathetic. The subject is very useful in life, but horribly dull. Although i'm 21 but had no 'power' whatsoever. Not that desperate, yet, unfortunately.

what do you like to study?....interests?

seriously, do not do it just for your parents....

limeuu, u were in one of my 'complaining' threads in 2009, during my ALevels year. No wonder u're very familiar. Took 3 years of my life to get in the 1st year of LLB.

Hope i can study Industrial Design or Culinary Arts in overseas.

Unfortunately, my parents are very materialistic. And no, i do not come from a loving family. My childhood is not that sweet either.

Depends on the school and the course.

Places like Warwick (and most below it) will reply very quickly if you're a suitable candidate, normally within a few weeks of the application. Many even reply within a month.

For LSE, the offers are intermittent, so some get it by December, most have to wait until March/April, and still some have to wait beyond that.

Very sorry to hear this. I'm a dad myself with 2 college going kids. I do serious chats with my boys as to what they want to pursue and always hear their side of the story. At the end of the day, its their life, not mine. I don't want them to blame me for forcing them to do anything. But sadly, most Chinese parents are like dragon mums and tiger dads.
