I dont know where u got the news that we here are all students or ex-students of Newcastle but yes some are ex and there is also one or two who are based in Newcastle right now..i used to live there for just over 4 years there as my dad was doing his PHD..not exactly saying that Newcastle University or Nothumbria University like to take students from Malaysia but yes there is quite a big number of Malaysians studying there..its not the university that decides though..these days u have to go through a lot of red tape with the education ministry to actually study overseas unless of course u have loads of money and u apply directly to the university themselves..
