oh nottingham trent. the uni which anybody can get into. most people call it the fake uni. kerana the real uni in nottingham ialah Uni of Nottingham.

I baru dapat offer dari Bristol dan Birmingham. masih tunggu untuk lain lain uni untuk reply.

Haha, say until like that. In many cities it's similar though, for example Uni of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam Uni, or Uni of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Napier Uni.
Of course its ranking is far lower than Uni of Nottingham if really want to compare. But as a uni itself I think NTU is not bad, facilities wise.

Oo? Which intake you going for? January 2016 and September 2016?

minta maaf abang, bukan sengaja. i have a few friends who went through student agency. my friends had very lousy grades but many lousy unis pester them and offer them automatic places for the degree courses. i wish my friends study hard and go to better university. tetapi i wish you all the best for your studies. make your parents proud and do the best for yourself.

It's ok, I can see where that is coming from.
Some uni would really lower the entry requirements to attract student. I'm not too worried about that, they can take in as many students as they want, you're paying them the fees to enter, of course they'd like that. The challenge comes after the course started, whether or not you able to complete the course and graduate.

I do look at the rankings before I decide which uni to choose, Nottingham Trent ranks around 50 out of 100+ universities, for me that's pretty much where the limit is, I don't really look for uni that ranks lower than that, like 60+ or 70+.

I've actually checked for around 20 universities that ranks between 10-50+, only found 2 universities that offer the course I'm interested, 1 of them is Nottingham Trent Uni, so yeah, here I am, lol.

Hey guys. I'm planning to do my electives in UK come July 2016 til August, and I've understood that I needed to apply a Tier 4 Visa. How much would it cost to apply for the visa eh?

hi guys im at university of nottingham too!!! erm arsengal im not sure. when i applied i went through an agent who did everything free for me perhaps you should try them?

www.fay-education.co.uk

good luck

hey guys, i'm studying in monash malaysia now.
my a levels result was 2A*2A, am planning to apply to Uk Unis and try to get a full scholarship from the local companies.
do you guys think i stand a good chance at getting the scholarship?
im going to do bachelor of economics, will apply to UCL, LSE

Ouch, I'm sorry, I just saw your post. A bit busy with uni stuffs right now. But sure, in the future I'd love to meet up with fellow Malaysians.
Do you hang out together in a group or is it just you?

I hope my post above helps.
By the way, just to make sure, do you mean you'll be studying in the UK from July 2016 to August 2017 or beyond?
Cause if you're studying for less than half a year, I believe you don't need a tier 4 student visa.

You can try from the scholarships advertised. But with the depreciation of the ringgit, not many will offer overseas scholarships. Look out for Shell, Sime Darby, Bank Negara or Securities Commission.

It is just me Sometimes with my MSc mates together. u?? btw pm me ur UK number

Thanks bro for the reply! Actually I'll only be there for a month, going for a visiting student electives (medical) at Dundee University. Does that mean the whole cost for the visa is USD515? I thought so too but in their website it is stated that I need to have a tier4, maybe because I'm gonna be getting involved with procedures and hands on stuff at their attached hospital.

You don't really need a tier 4 visa for an elective....just go in as a tourist....after all, electives are generally holidays for med students....and no, you will not be involved with actual clinical care....

what are both of you studying at Nottingham?


ys you are correct. btw im just wondering. if i graduate from UK uni how to get citizenship? possible to give me a timeline based on your knowledge? please don't link me to any UK citizenry website because it is too long winded and inaccurate. terima kasih.

The Gov website would be the most accurate source of information.

In any case, British Citizenship has nothing to do with which university you graduate from. You can either stay in the country continuously long enough to qualify (10 years +), stay long enough post Indefinite Leave visa (2 years minimum I believe) or you marry a British citizen and remain together for a few years.

By the way, the above conditions only qualify you. You'll have to jump through a few hoops like demonstrating UK is now your home (own property, have kids etc), you assimilated to the area you live in, and show you know enough about the country. Your case will be evaluated on a case by case basis, and they can still reject you.

I am taking MSc in Chemical Engineering at University of Nottingham. What about u? Are you in UK now?

hi abang. belum lagi. bila i sampai i bilang u k?

Citizenships? Tier 4 for students won't score you any points. Sorry to say but unless you start to work in the UK for the coming years, your visa would change as well. But for now, Tier 4 (Students) cannot be considered under the type of visa that will score you points to be qualified for it.
