I know of someone who conveniently omit "brookes" when telling others where his son is studying. Quite funny actually.

I did follow my flatmates to a bar recently and it was really awkward for me as I was the only one not holding a drink. However they are very understanding that I don't drink. I'll try to go for one more outing with them and see if I like it. Thanks for the advice 

Hi there, how much should I be expecting to spend for living in the UK if I'm pursuing a 3-year undergrad degree ?

I'm applying thru UCAS for schools in London & west UK. I've already researched on the tuition fees for each school but I do not have accurate info on how much to spend(the living cost) for the 3 years to come. Hope everyone here can enlighten me on this part

Well I am trying to budget myself to £20k for 9 months.

For my case, my tuition fees is  £12,700+ Accommodation £4,387= £17,087.

What is left would be for my daily expenses.

cckkpr,

That's quite low compared to what I perceive from various uni website which state that generally 6500~9000 pound should be the 39-week living cost.
Abt the 9 months period you stated, what happens to all your belonging during the 3-month gap ( which I assume to be summer break ), do you need to find extra storage for it outside the contract period? I know this ques sounds dumb but just wondering.

Two unis I'm looking at are LSE n UCL which happen to not just be in london but central london  I guess they would be out of my budget then.

limeuu,

That amounts to 5400-6300 quid for 9 months which is even lower than cckkpr's

Do many students stay thrifty and really spent that little during their studies in UK ? Cuz I don't see myself working part time there/ trying to cut corners at entertainment etc. but rather to enjoy the time studying there.

If you dislike UK so much, why do you want to come here then?  If you force yourself, you'll just end up feeling miserable. 

A £1000 budget in London per month is possible.  When I first graduated, I lived pretty decently on £1000 or less. 

A room in a flat share in Zone 2 can set you aside for around £500.  You'll have to look around to find a good place.  Then transport will set you aside £120 per month (less if you're a student with discount), or you can cycle. 

Food will set you aside for about £50 per week, and this is eating healthily.  No frozen food, pizza + baked beans diet.  All this will keep you within £1000.  Do a bit of part time work, and you'll see yourself having an extra £100-£150 of spare cash every month. 

Bring packed lunch and cook your own dinner.  I don't party, don't drink and don't smoke so no expenses here.  Moreover, I prefer to spend my money on books as well, which is pretty affordable.  If I wanted to go out, I'll just visit a museum or a park or meet some friends for coffee.

2 lunches in hospital canteen, which is subsidised, I think.

He spends two days a week in the hospital this year so gets lunch there.

hi. been thinking of furthering master to uk. however i dont know what course should i take.

i am already working for several years. i just want to make sure what i take will be"useful" compare to what i have in degree

Anyone here studying in Bath University school of management? do you mind giving a review from a perspective of a Malaysian student? thanks

keen on going there for Accounting and finance which is highly rated but my parents which have been to the city prefer if i chose Cass business school in London or Warwick business school... Mainly because Bath doesn't have a reputation here in Malaysia for job prospects.

So far i have offers from Cass and Bath. Rejection from LSE. Waiting for Warwick and Manchester

I would be happy if i got maybe 2-3 years work experience overseas before coming back to Malaysia. Ultimately it boils down whether or not i have the abilities, but if the uni has a good placement or connections, i suppose it would be easier to obtain information/ help me through the process of getting that internship/job.

It would have been a no-brainer if LSE gave me an offer though :/
My sister who studied in warwick says it's business school is pretty famous as well. But at almost 6000pounds a year more expensive than bath or city(but will be outweighed by cost of living in london), it's not blowing the budget but 3 years adds up to about more than 100K RM...

The prospects i'm stating is the opportunity of getting a job there( sorry for not clearly indicating) as i believe work experience should outweigh the uni degree when it comes to job application back here( i might be wrong). Then again, opportunity to work in any of the Big4 overseas, or any investment banks, would be a great experience which will enhance my CV.

Waiting for manchester's reply at the meantime. Does city university london even ring a bell anywhere?? seems like nobody knows one
That would be awesome. thanks so much.

thanks for the reply guys

Is working experience required?  I believe ICAEW requires working experience, unless requirements have changed.

It's called cfab, and they need to work as well to qualify, sunway teamed up with BDO to provide them with cheap workers lol. Yup, cfab is a diploma which is useless if the student doesn't pass the icaew

anyone here who can advise if GBP 1200 is enough for me to live and study in the UK (outside London). my spouse will be joining me as well for my 1 year study.... if anyone can give breakdown of monthly expenses?

after discussed with my parents, finally they decided to send me to UK for further studies. planned to take law course, but dont know which university to choose. any suggestion for law course?
and actually what will i study in this course? international law or uk law? or msia law leh?

Hello. I've just received an offer to do MSc in Applied Biosciences and Biotechnology at Imperial College London, recently. The next step is finding a sponsorship. Any sponsors to recommend?

How does one usually apply for FAMA? Is it some sort of like ad hoc sponsorship that can be applied for throughout the year or do I have to actually wait until the sponsorship is open for application? Because I've never seen them putting on advertisements about their sponsorship.
