Hey... stop spamming topics already...

...otherwise we here in Education Essentials will recommend you to the moderators to be banned.

Stick to ONE topic and elaborate all you want in that topic. Spamming topics isn't welcomed here.

Where to put it then? Put Europe into Australia thread? Or put it into US thread?

Put it in Study in Europe thread? Point being, how does this article concerns us? It's telling the British, not us.

Sure this article is telling us something. Here's the rationale.....

It tells the British to go to Europe for study.

It is also telling us Malaysian intending to go to UK for study to look to Europe instead.

Why do people always need to be spoon fed nowadays? Don't they have a brain any more blush.gif

Thank you to both feynman and Optiplex330 for pointing out my mistake. But still, most Malaysians perceive UK as the best (or second best) study destination in the world. We need a proper thread that discusses how is studying in Europe is like, what are the financial aids available, quality of education and life as a student there. So, it's good to have someone graduated from these universities in Europe to address some of our doubts we students and parents here in Malaysia have about these universities.

Well, although there are students waiting to be spoon fed, there are some who genuinely wish to pursue their studies there. Problem is, they do not even know where to begin with. And, correct me if I'm wrong, there aren't many Malaysian studying there compared to the States and UK. Thus, those who dare not venture of out their comfort zone (some pressured by their parents) would stick to the traditional choice, which is the UK.

One more, even though this article is informative, most people would read it with a pinch of salt as the article merely points out the benefits of studying in Europe, low tuition fees and such, but it doesn't tell us this, why should we consider pursuing our education there?

If a student is genuine enough wanting an oversea tertiary education but can't afford the usual UK fees, they will be busy right now using "google" to find a way there. If there is a will, there is a way. And Europe is certainly a very valid way.

And that's why I disagree it should be reported to the moderator as some have suggested.

there is one problem with studying in europe, out of the uk and ireland.......msian/sporean employers are not familiar with european unis and qualifications, and you may potentially face problems with recognition, and acceptance of your qualifications...........given a choice, they are more likely to give the job to someone from leeds or glasgow than someone from some unknown uni in germany or france or poland..........

and for professional courses, recognition and registration is crucial, so do your homework first........this is tricky for courses like law, medicine/dentistry, even engineering if you want to become a professional engineer in msia..........

the articles above are geared towards british students, now they have to pay 3 time more fees.......the above issues are NOT relevant to them, because as part of the eu, all degrees and qualifications are cross recognised and more widely accepted within the eu countries.....

What you said are all valid concern, especially with professional recognition course.

But on the other hand, it can sometime work to your advantage. For example, should BMW (of Germany) or Renault (of France) or Philips (of Holland) operating in Malaysia be looking for staff, those having degree from Germany or France of Holland might have an advantage instead. Especially if you can speak German or French.
