shu is a ex-poly, and lies in the lower half of the league table.......

500 pounds is enough for living in sheffield, if you live frugally and cook yourself........

part time jobs are hard to find nowadays, the economy is struggling and unemployment is high.........

Guys is it possible to reject a firm choice in order to go to your insurance university?


Added on July 12, 2011, 7:58 pmOr rather, is it possible to get a unconditional offer after your A-Levels results is released from your insurance university instead of your firm university in order to apply for scholarship? For instance if I hope to secure a scholarship with an unconditional offer from Imperial College but it is definitely not my first choice. So should I put it as my firm in this case?
*
You cannot reject your firm choice unless, under exceptional circumstances, the university itself (which is your firm) agrees and contacts UCAS, and the other university (your insurance) also agrees. The normal process that occurs when you reject your firm choice is that you are no longer entitled to any of your remaining 4 (or lone insurance) choices.

When your A Level results are released, you can get unconditional offers (either automatically or by request) for any or all of your choices, even if decisions have already been made. However this would have to be done before you selected your firm and/or insurance because obviously there cannot be an insurance choice when your firm is unconditional, and when you make your decision, only 1 or 2 options remain live.

In your situation you can get an unconditional from Imperial, but it would probably not help you attain a scholarship. In fact, were the scholarship administrators to see this, you would likely be denied it. The scholarship administration hardly cares if you "got into Imperial" if your intention is to go somewhere else, but they just might be shallow or naive enough to assume you may not get your first choice, and/or that Imperial is the better choice.

guys, need some advice.
I'm coming to UCL this September and currently looking for a private accommodation. I've been using websites such as Foxtons, Gumtree, rightmove & findaproperty to look for 1 bedroom flat to rent. My question is, how do i deal with the landlord or the agent since I'm still in Malaysia? ie, how do i pay for deposit,sign tenancy agreement & get the keys?

Or should i get temporary or short term housing first, then deal with the landlord/agent when i'm there to view the house, sign agreement, get the keys, etc...

Thank you

hey guys, I've been read through most of the post here to understand more about study in the UK.
I had my degree with honour in BA and I've been thinking to further my study(probably master) next year. So i would lk to ask a few questions:

1) I will be considering taking it in the UK or M'sia..which would be better and which Uni will be recommended for both country?

2) I came across with the pre-master and top-up degree thingy,could anyone here explain more about it?

3) how much is the cost difference between taking it in the UK and M'sia?

Your reply will be much appreciated.Cheers!

Yeah, if its outside London the total amount should be <your tuition fees> + 5400pounds.
Not so sure bout in London though. A consent letter from your sponsor indicating the money in the account can be used by you for your studies in the Uk. smile.gif

Hey guys, anyone here have the 'T4 adult checklist with CAS' for the UK Visa application? I actually bookmarked the site a few weeks ago but when I tried to access it today the site was down. Any help would be very much appreciated!

On a side note, anyone knows what we are suppose to fill for the 'Issuing Authority' column under the passport section when we fill the VAF9 form online? Is it suppose to be the name of the immigration office I went to or simply just Malaysia?

Thanks!
