Added on May 23, 2012, 8:54 pmNoted that Bellerbys college A levels students are given Medicine Preparation Programme and Oxbridge Preparation Programme which give them invaluable advice. Potential med applicants are also given hospital and clinic experience.
And I believe other top A level colleges there does the same.

And foreign students based there definite has a big advantage.

err i want to ask right, if i were to apply visa to study in uk. what is the min balance in bank acc i have to prove to get a visa??

they all do that....including cardiff, that much maligned establishment by a parent....

I noticed from Sun newspaper today UCSI advert on successful placement of students in recent times in Uk universities. Noted that quite a fair number got into dentistry n pharmacy in Cardiff, Kings, Lsp, Queen Mary, Bath, Nottingham, Glasgow, Dundee, Bath and of course Ireland. But only 1 got into medic in Liverpool. Is it easier for dentistry n pharmacy? Just curious!

how long did it take you guys to prepare for ielts?

the safest amount is RM100,000. show FD statement with RM100,000. definitely approve.

Received 2 days ago. Forward an email to "chase".

Have you booked the flight? Is it better to book one way as the one year open return ticket is very expensive.

I have not booked yet, being looking at MAS as dad wants to try the A380.  My accommodation is inclusive of Christmas and Easter breaks, I probably won't be coming home until summer break, unless I miss my family so much! 

Yes you are right about the flight being cheaper if book in London. Thank you very much!

Have your son done his crb check? I still have not heard anything from King's except for the health questionaire.

It's sure to tarnish the image of Cardiff, which is also popular destination for Malaysians with its twinning programs.
Funny that 4As students from bolehland did not make it to their medic program. Maybe, those applicants should have consulted the Chinese agent.

Are you serious ? Students from China are achieving top grades in many elite schools and colleges in USA,Singapore,etc.

Those Mainland Chinese in Singapore under ASEAN scholarship are simply brilliant.

Many researchers and lecturers in top universities in USA,UK ,Australia and Singapore are Mainland Chinese and Indians. Just go and read their faculty websites.

The issue on lowering grades to recruit international students is global not restricting to UK and Mainland Chinese students.

Hi, no CAS for me as I m a PR holder.

anyone realised that UEL (University of East London) is at the btm of the uni ranking 2012 but their research assessment is higher than most normal unis?

There are many who argued that rankings are not important etc, its YOU yourself that will make the difference.

When it comes to the crunch and its YOUR own monies that you are spending, then you want the best and nothing but the best.

For others, it doesn't matter lah, all same same.

How ironical or shall we term it hypocrisy!

You can probably afford it. If you have a wealthy family that doesn't need the money for something else, don't have to sacrifice their lifestyles, food, investment opportunities etc, then it's good enough for me.

Who knows, maybe it will be the best thing to go to Imperial? It is quite famous and at the top of a number of rankings. In terms of targets it is up there with Oxbridge and LSE, plus you're doing Engineering or Maths I'm guessing.

For a lot of Malaysians, it is a lot to study overseas. Financially. The currencies (GBP, AUD, USD, NZD, CAD). Even with a tuition scholarship, when you look at cost of living in MYR prices, it's a lot. A Malaysian living paying for a Western student's lifestyle. Developing country salary for developed country expenses. So you need to do well, learn, grow, and make sure you can justify it all by the end. This is what many struggle with...

One thing's for sure, you'll get some exposure (at such a big, famous school) that you'll not get in Malaysia.[ They also attract more qualified academic staff. But it is also normal for their assessments to be tough. And you'll have very competent competition.

So, if one is in the bottom 20% in Oxbridge or Ivies, it's another waste.
I think otherwise.

those who already have their cas no, it is best to get your visa done now.....before the crowds descend......

KUALA LUMPUR: The British High Commission is bracing for the approaching peak student visa period, with applications to be processed and decided for the first time in Manila.

The handling of the students’ visas at the UK Border Agency (UKBA) visa centre in the Philippines will be put to the test, but British officials here are confident of an improved visa service.
