Agree! Now he better graduates as scheduled. LOL.

the issue of intercalation doesn't arise any more i supposed...

Still! I've told him to look for other sources of funding...haha.
But he has also since found out there are many other "further education" alternatives.

RM6.39 to a pound.

ahhh so painful hope it recovers and not go down and down

I sincerely hope so.

Sentiments trounce fundamentals lately.

Anyone here drive a lot in the UK using Malaysian license? How long can we use malaysian driving license in the UK before we have to make one there? Thinking of doing a UK road trip this year.

i think you can drive here with malaysian license first year you study here (if no changes since i came here)

I dont think the central bank should intervene further. Save our reserves for a quicker recovery.

Hi guys! Anyone going to Uni of Manchester next month? Would love to make some new acquaintances in advance

Anyone knows if this change applies to Malaysian students? We have to show 9 months of fund now to apply for visa after November 2015?

I don't see anything in the link you provided that mentioned of the statement you made.
All I see is if you made your application on or after 14th November 2015 the amount of money that you have to show will be increased to the new amount they mentioned in the link.

Malaysia is still under low-risk category from what I see, meaning it's still not compulsory to submit financial evidence.
Link, it's from the same website you provided above:
http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/International-Stu...isk-applicants/

In conclusion, if you want to prepare the money to show them, in case they requested financial evidence from you, please take note if you make application on or after November 2015 you'll have to prepare more money in the account, for exact amount you just refer to the link you shared earlier on.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply. It is not compulsory now but the immigration rules seem to be changing a lot lately. Our currency dropping a lot is not helping much either.

From this article, http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/...tional-students, it says that



Assuming that if Malaysia gets removed from the low-risk category, we would have to supply a bank statement stating that we have enough funds for one year of school fee and the living costs for up to nine months?

Could we submit bank statement for application even though it is not required now?

If Malaysia gets removed from the low-risk category, I think things will just be more or less the same as before we got included into the low-risk category. Providing financial evidence was compulsory anyway when I applied in year 2011.

Yes you can, in fact, I did that. I submitted my original education certificates along with photocopies, and also bank letter as well although they're optional.

EDIT:
Just went to VFS at Wisma MCA to collect my passport. Visa application approved.
They fixed their queue system, now it's much better.

Hi, i have a few problem and I am seeking for some advice. Hope you guys can help!

I have just received an offer for my postgraduate study in local university. However, i have already paid for tuition fees and accomodation fees for my study in the UK. Wondering anyone of you have decided not to study there at the last minute? Is it possible for me to get a refund?

How much was the total cost for NHS and visa application fee?

NHS depends on individuals, it will come out slightly different for different cases. For my case it was USD360.
You can use the link below to check roughly how much you'll have to pay:

Visa application fee is USD515.

Hope this helps.

If my results is verified through the UCAS results service, do i need to provide the provisional results as evidence used to obtain offer?
