That is incorrect....they have to employ eu citizens as priority by law....your academic results is irrelevant....as is work experience....

If they can't find, and offer you a job, your eligibility for a tier 2 visa depends on having a minimum income cut off before...

Awww i forgot about that completely - priority for eu citizens but i still think excellent academic results and great work experience help.. i mean at least i have seen ppl from outside eu got jobs because of these reasons...

I'm actually from University of Leeds, but I study mechanical engineering so it's sort of hard for me to judge whether chemical engineering is good or not in Leeds.

Some things I do know:

1) Strictest attendance (Every class will require attendance, you'll get warning letters if you don't show up unless given valid reason) whereas mechanical engineering has none at all.

Ok so that's all I knew about the program so I asked some of my chemical engineering friends, and I'm quoting them;

1) Top outside London
2)Good lecturers (competent and know what they're talking about) and well planned programme
to train for real work
3) Good placement schemes
4) Materials lecturers are well established in industry and got a lot of written work also

I'm also the publicity director of MASSoc 2014/2015 so if you head towards

I can approve you, and you can ask anyone of the students currently studying chemical engineering on their thoughts about the overall course.

In terms of location, Leeds is a concentrated city, and city centre is only about 20 minutes walk from Uni. Taking a cab would be roughly 5 minutes and GBP3. Overall, living expenses are quiet cheap, I'm paying GBP75pppw without bills, with bills about GBP85-90 and living in 4 other guys in a 4 floor house.

Also, if you have any questions here, just shoot away!

Hey bro, thanks for the reply! I am actually applying for Masters study, is the attendance also very strict for masters student? Wow, GBP 100 per week on accomodation? Thats quite cheap seriously as compared to London. So what about the Malaysian student council there? ANyway, i also just requested to join the FB group My name is Chris.

Hello, I got an offer from Warwick for Acc and Finance. I know this sounds stupid but is there any non-bonded full scholarship available to apply?

I got rejected by LSE for A&F, but my appeal went through due to extenuating circumstances at the time of application. Keeping my hopes up, otherwise I'll be heading to Warwick.

Hey guys, i just got offer from University of Manchester May i know any senior here?? haha or any1 going to study in Uni of Manchester in September 2015??

If there are too many Malaysians, it will be more like homeground and not likely to gain more exposure.

Mixing mostly with Malaysian will be just like studying in bolehland.

Most of you study in UK is by using your own money or given scholarships?

Both. Majority on FAMA scholarships; no bond, only need to pass!

do you mean by father and mother scholarships? hahah my parents wanted me to go overseas especially UK but I was worrying about the fees and everything. Anyone of you could give me some advice? btw i'm just a post-SPM kid hahah

Since your parents want you to go UK, I am sure they have enough financial resources to take care of your studies or they may expect you to do some work over the weekends or during the holiday season to make some contribution.

Yup bro Are u around Manchester area?? BTW, is there any direct flight from KL to Manchester??

i used to live in north west (manchester is in north west too) ...
as far as im aware, there is no direct flight from KL to Manchester (dont quote me) but i can recommend you to take KLM flight / air france it will be manchester - amsterdam/paris - KL (depends which option you pick, usually around 13/14 hours) personally i m quite like klm/air france

i graduated from malaysia local university, got a promotion to work at UK last year... i am 32 this year, may be too old to join you all at the gathering. but it is great to spend your university life in uk, significantly broaden your culture and sight
