Core modules are anchored firmly because they are core, but not all those electives. Some of them are subject to change due to availability of resources (the lecturer teaching the module could have left, and this could happen very suddenly) and also by receptions from the students (no point running a module when only 2 of them enroll every year). Some of them are subject to change because it's not suitable anymore. Imagine 50 years later, will you still be giving out lectures about sub-sea oil drilling when all the oils have been depleted? Plus, such changes could not be reflected to the public in first instance.
Therefore, they put up that clause to protect themselves if the course structure really needs a change, not that they are still changing the course structure.

As for the accreditation stuff, you will need to ask the undergraduate admission people. They'll know more. BTW, maybe you can try to get some input about that course from entryman (haha, if only I can tag him here).

Let them be. They will soon find out how stupid they are to compare land size with us.

I don't think IELTS is needed if your first degree is from UK, Australia etc. (i.e. English-speaking country). But it's always best to ask the admission staff about it. Also, show them your SPM cert. You could be exempted from all those if your 1119 is good.

The thing about bus not being painted is because the bus is only under contract with the university, it's not owned by the university. Although contracted bus could still be painted, but I think an agreement isn't met on that point, therefore we have this ugly looking bus.

hi, thanks for your prompt response!
Is the place to get on bus right outside of the ktm station? or haf to cross a bridge or something? do you mean beside the place of selling corn or opposite the place of selling corn (which requires crossing sth?) Sorry I need detailed description coz this is my first time thr. I'm going thr to meet a professor

how long does the bus journey usually take? n wat's the frequency of the bus?

Thank again!

There is a road you need to cross, the stall that sells corn is on the side BEFORE you cross the road. You need to wait for the bus on the OPPOSITE SIDE.

Bus schedule can be obtained here.

You're in extreme luck today, I happened to be still keeping a few of the photos that I took when I was bored while waiting for the bus to come.









[edit] This is the spot where I sat at the place that sells corn. The opposite place is where you should be waiting for the bus.

[Correction]

Usually I'll wait here.

@tanjinjack

lol yeah got ur tag. but anyways I don't think 'humbly 101 acres' is something to shout about as local universities have much larger land area?

@Sicarius

Don't you think most business degrees are jack of all trades master of none? Unless you opt for some specialized programme. To get the number of exemptions you can check them on the respective institution's websites, mostly it's the foundation papers that you're exempted from.

alexander.ch_1992,

ok, got it. THANKS a lot!

I agree with that as well. We need something that won't bother that kid in Monash thread and something that can stands out as Nottingham.

Have been thinking of "A Queen's Award Campus" or sth similar

And @Vit, enjoy your trip to Nottingham.

^not a bad idea for a tagline.

How about the one from the mother campus? From wiki:

Motto (Latin): Sapientia urbs conditur
Motto in English A City is Built on Wisdom

Put the latin version see how the rebut. Either way if they rebut with their own motto also considered a normal thing to put in the tagline. So it'll end the childish acts altogether while putting respectable things in the tagline field.

I haven't heard anything from Accommodations - I submitted my application in early June. Should I contact them? (I'm an international student.)

Yes you definitely should. The website says kindly contact if you haven't heard from us within 14 working days.

Yeah, the tag thing is a bit annoying. Anymore suggestion?
The Queen's Award and the UK University of the Year was like few years ago, a bit old already, no point using it I feel. It could just end up with them coming up with their own award stuff.
I am thinking of a catchline that can lure them in where when put side by side, we can see who's the stupid one out there. So far this is alright - but newcomers can't tell who posts first and who follows. Ideas please!!

lol what's the big deal with monash there?

Well, I can't tell. But I did try to spark something up when they first started that thread.
Here's my response.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=43939533

Did that piss them off?

Anyway, they really have some ugly homepage. We can have stuff like "informative homepage within. Come in!"?

I'm thinking of maybe we should put more photos in the -reserved- post in first page.

And about the tagline I thought of "A proud collaboration in Crops for the future" since it's Nottingham latest involvement in the research department - something uniquely belongs to us, something the kid in Monash can't argue with.

CROPS?

Yup, that's what they say in the website.

http://www.nottingham.edu.my/Research/CFFRC/TheCentre.aspx

That looks undeniably promising! Hahas didn't say when will it be completed though


D= No, it didn't really bother them.. you should've posted something bold.. add some spice into it

"Leading university in creating tagline"?
Hahahahhaa..
"V4, always 1 version ahead of V3."

All these will make us look childish though - more like we really answer to them already.

I actually like the "V4, always 1 version ahead of V3". The tagline could mean OUR V3, not their V3. It carries a double meaning. They can take it into their definition tho.

ME LIKE IT!

If anyone's looking for house/rooms here, there's a few threads started in "Properties"

Just spreading around.
