Hi guys! I finished my A-level last nov. Now waiting for sept intake to start my degree... BEng/MEng Mechanical Engineering. Any comment about this course? Is any one here studying this course or anyone have a friend in this course? I would like to know how's the lecturer are and the learning environment there...

Talking about group work.... I have had many experience where it suppose to be a group work... But, finally end up to be work for 2-3 people only.... (the group contain about 5-8 people) I wonder if it happens in UNIMKL?

probably no... cant afford to pay the tuition fee... haha..

Of course you need to apply... and to depends on the availability....

any one know how long it takes to to process the application for student visa?

Please refer to http://www.nottingham.edu.my for more information regarding the entry requirement for foundation in engineering.

jasperng, you are from Nottingham? What course you studying?

Foundation In Engineering:

The Foundation Programme is a
pre-University level course tailored to the
specific needs of a chosen undergraduate
degree. They are designed for students who
have completed a minimum of 11 years of
formal education and obtained good grades
in high school leaving examinations. Students
who have completed a minimum of 11 years
of formal education can apply for the 3
semester programme starting in April and
July while students with at least 12 years of
formal education may apply for the 2
semester programme starting in September.
Each semester consists of 10-12 teaching weeks,
plus time for assessment. Each module in a
chosen programme is compulsory. The main unit
of instruction is the lecture, typically 2 to 3
hour-long sessions where students are
familiarised with a subject’s main theoretical
concepts and ideas. In addition, lab work,
tutorials and assignments form the bulk of the
learning experience and assessment.
Academic tutorials are held within the semesters
to provide students with the opportunity to
participate in class discussions, improve their
presentation skills and to apply theoretical
concepts to practical issues. Non-academic
tutorials are held in order to expose students to
topical issues for discussions and to assist
students on a one to one basis on personal or
academic issues. The nature of the assessment
depends upon the individual module but is
mainly based on lab work, assignments, class
tests and examinations.
Successful completion of the Foundation
programme gives automatic progression into the
Engineering degree programmes at the Malaysia
Campus. Students can also apply to the
University’s UK campus.


Admission Requirements:
3 Semester
• SPM with Grade 4 in 6 subjects, to include
Mathematics, Additional Mathematics and

2 Semester
• Candidates must have completed at least
12 years of formal education.
• UEC with a minimum of Grade A in 4
subjects and a minimum of Grade B in
Mathematics and a Physical Science subject
(Chemistry for Chemical Engineering
undergraduate programmes).
• Other equivalent qualifications will be
considered on a case-by-case basis.
English Language Requirements
• An International English Language Testing
System (IELTS) score of at least 5.5 with
no less than 5 in any component or,

Phew... Finally finished reading 101pages, 2k+ post here....

As I can see. eXPeri3nc3, your post is on every page in this thread! LOL

Ah, btw, I am going to start Mechanical engineering this sept... Am I a bit old? 20 liao eh! Haha...

I wonder.... If the majority of student in year 1 are from years 1 are 19 years old?

aha... feel better after hearing what you said.. LOL

hey, so fast reply one? you are in LYN all time while you are online is it? LOL no wonder your post count 7400! haha..

What course you taking?

Yeah... We people from Klang valley have the lowest priority in getting the on-campus one...

Yeah... I applied for the on-campus too! Pioneer Century said they will only start e-mail the student in August..

Thinkingfox, Mechanical Engineering? Me too! LOL.. Where are you from? What course you take for your pre-u?

I see. Well, what I meant is... you need to apply for the accommodation, then they will start e-mail to those who applied in August...

If you still not sure whether to stay on-campus or off-campus, may be you can try apply first... later only decide la.. LOL
