The amount is the amount that covers all ur expenses and tuition fees, someone got rejected by having either 400 or rm700 short in their account.

That's fast! I haven't even plan for christmas. Mind to share a small place for me? Lol

I think I will be going too, got some old friends over at notts. Where u staying then? Is there anything to do in the night?

just back from playing snow + snow fight around my university .. wahaha .. now 2.20am and still packed with ppl!! ...

i am in Guildford, Surrey ... uni closed today due to the 7inch snow ... gonna make a big snowman today .. LOL

Check out career info on those interested companies, they will state deadlines for application. Most of them ending this month, i will be submitting my cv very soon for some graduate scheme ...

btw, i will be visiting Birmingham on the 29th Dec. Anyone wan meet up or give me some idea of where to visit and also any nice places to dine in? Gotta really plan as going there from my place takes 4hrs+/-

good luck in ur application ....
will check out the places u mentioned. thanks!

3 years at birmingham should be very fun ... heard that the place is very "people moutain people sea" ... LOL

I did everything on my own, i mean application. Took me almost 8months in advance to research each uni and module that suits me. Post-grad focuses on a smaller scope which is very different from undergrad, if u get onto the wrong module that doesnt interest u, u will have a hard time completing it.
As long as u have all the financial stuff ready in the bank account, it wouldnt be hard for u to get a visa, that of course u must have an unconditional offer letter beforehand. Most post-grad in UK are only 12months which is the shortest, and u can try out graduate scheme after u get awarded.

yes and yes, birth certificate is require and must be translated.
While applying for British visa, the form require u to write in an estimate total amount which consist of full tuition fees and all living cost. Ur financial statement should be able to cover everything, and best to be over the estimated amount. I had a friend who got rejected due to the lack of RM400.

Visa application opens 3months before your course commence date.

ops .. forgotten about that, good thing u point it out ... the form did state it but its confusing ...
anyway, just beware of public bank book ... my gf got rejected coz public bank book was too confusing the the border officers did not understand and rejected her application .. i wasnt there with her when she went to collect her visa, that is wat i have been told.. so far most of my friends used fixed deposit certificates and got through quickly ...

good luck and have fun .. when u r free, check out Birmingham's market and shopping centre ..
seems to have nice weather over at Wolverhampton too =)

Added on January 11, 2011, 7:19 pmSheffield is known to be more student friendly, things r cheap and abundance due to the amount of student over there ...
for example, electronic games, can get quite cheap, genuine ones, though its second hand ... food, way way cheaper than London ...

local students here doesnt live in luxury nor poverty, everything they do, they plan and have a budget and most of the budget spends on drinking ... i got laughed at because i got a bus card and took bus to sports park which is around 20mins walk away, kinda embarrassing though ...
this does not apply to London though ...

just get all ur documents right, and u will be fine .. took me 4days to get it during the pre-peak season (early August) ...

ps: anyone doing bodybuilding/fitness/sports that require any fitness stuff such as protein powders just let me know .. i got a few reliable sites that i tried before and some good local brands ..
