That's a huge sum of money.
Erm.. I took SAM because before that i was thinking to take accountancy.
However, i decided to change my mind.
I'm more interested in physics and especially math.
I don't wanna waste my great achievements in math by taking up business subjects.
In fact, only engineering can satisfy my interest, so that's why i'm in SAM now.

The fees for Nottingham Malaysia Campus, I heard has been raised to approximately RM30k per year. It was RM28k before this. There are 2 semesters each year, thus you can pay the fees by semesters. If it is RM30k, then each semester is RM15k.

TIPU!!!!!!
It's 31k per year.




Does it mean that you can't go to Australia with A-levels?Does it mean that if you want to go down to Singapore, you must do Singapore A-levels?

No use, you must have 4 years of studies to become a chartered engineer.

Not really. I got into australian uni with uk alevels.

That's precisely the point....................................

I am currently a 1st year E&E student in University of Nottingham.
Prior to that I did their foundation course, all I can say is that much has been improved since the time I took my foundation last time.
Now they have 3 foundation course for engineering, if I am not mistaken, as opposed to only two during my time.

On campus accomodation and meals are pretty expensive, it would be cheaper if you could rent outside on your own. Meaning don't rent the houses under Pioneer Century Sdn Bhd.

The university provides FREE shuttle service to and from the Kajang KTM.

Now for the negative side, not all the lecturers are competent and the way things are done at Nottingham Malaysia can be frustrating at times. I believe they are still trying to improve the system, as this is a fairly new campus.

Lecture theatres and lecture halls can be said to be spacious but whether they can cope with the avalanche of student intake in Sept, is rather doubtful.

Civil Engineering ( Latest addition come Sept), Pharmacy and Law are the latest courses being offered by Notts.

Mechatronics is also a fairly new course which has a steady increase of student intake. Electrical&Electronic,Electrical&Telco,Electrical&... course is one of the famous engineering course after Chemical Engineering.

What I can say about studying at Nottingham is that, don't expect too much out of it, come here for the UK degree but beware of careless staff and sharks under the disguise of F&B or accomodation service.

On a side note, the campus is about 4km away from Semenyih, and the nearest mamak stall is about 2km away from the campus. Thus if you stay on campus, your social life will revolve around the campus, which can be fun, depends on how you look at it though.

As for the fees, its rather high, but remember at the end of the day you're getting a UK degree and not a twinning Degree. This helps if you're going to work or further your studies abroad later.

P.S. Welcome all incoming Sept intake students

A twinning degree can also be a British degree. eg. A degree from the University of Northumbria is a British degree and it is also a twinning degree.

I checked the website for closing dates for applications but it's not stated anywhere. Am I too late to apply for the September intake for Pharmacy? How many Pharm students do they take in each year, do you know?

im joining nott. on july 12th.

i got full scholarship until my degree ends. but of course my results need to be at least 60%. if not need to pay back

Ya, u can drive. In fact, it's better if u drive cause it's not easy to travel around there unless u have ur own transport.

coz of the 3 km hilldrive to the campus from semenyih rite?

Okay, AFAIK the Mechanical Engineering course is accredited by LAN. And to be frank, the tuition fee is up by RM3k which means from RM28k to RM31K and so is Monash. But do take into consideration that RM31k is inclusive of misc. fees such as lab fee, library fee and computer lab fee. This is somewhat different from Sunway/Monash. Don't ask me how I know cos I've been a student in Sunway and currently doing Mechanical Engineering in Nottingham. About Mechanical Engineering, the lecturers are good, but do expect one or two which are pretty much so-so. It happens in any Private Uni / Colleges. Labs are improving, we have more machineries in such as CNC, miller and few others. You'll get the chance to do practical works such as welding, plastic injection moulding and machining during the course.

Yup. Nothing much around the campus.

Check your PM. Eh, STAR Scholarship? walao... High 5 dude!
Why u ain't tell me you got that scholarship?


yea, kinda, it's in a jungle...

haha but im not under STAR lar,

so how is the basketball court ther? is it indoor or outdoor?
nice or not?

The sports centre facility is good, if only the gym facilities are maintain... Those students do not care when they use the facility, they just put it aside, misuse it, bang it etc...
but not all la, excluding me
The basketball, outdoor, the floor kinda slipery.
Where as the squash and the badminton court is good. I like the badminton court. Nice tiles.
And also, now UNiM is growing the field, around 90% ready, already got ppl playing.
And the swimming pool is going to be opened... Now full of clorine...
Unless you wan to turn white... If not jump inside...

All of the students are looking forward to the swimming pool... :drools:

haha, football fever, what to do

swimming pool eh, but i heard this uni got less girls then other coll.

seems that u online almost evryday, so the wi-fi is quite good izit?

Yeah.. My foundation got no gals... 3 guys only... If the whole foundation still got gals... rarely...
Wi-fi? Lol, wi-fi here not so good... I'm in the com lab doing homework now, this friday need to passup individual assignment... Business...

Anyways, I dun think you will have a problem in suiting yourself here.
Cheers.

omg 3 people per foundations course?

hope the sept intake lots more will come in.

yea. from the pic this is really a nice place.

Foundations in CSIT has only 3 person. For business and engineering there is a lot...

The Uni has been expecting a large amount of students coming for this intake...
So, Uni won't be that peace afterall...
