Revised fees in the UK. Double whammy -higher fees and exchange rate .

It was done at my college itself. (I only applied to medical schools which hold interviews locally) They had the head of the medical education, which was Professor Stewart Petersen together with the admission officer to conduct the face-to-face interview.

They flew to Singapore first before flying to different colleges in Malaysia to conduct the interviews.

They have interviews in the UK but it was MMI format instead.

My first year fees is about 16k quid for pre-clinical. :/

Hope they don't suddenly change. D:

for programmes that has 2 distinct phases (and that includes leicester), the first 2 years will be charged as for lecture-based courses....and the last 3 years will then attract clinical fees.....

because of this, the first 2 years actually works out cheaper than 5 semesters in imu....

Yup, the last 3 years will be about... 27k quid? would be more due to inflation..

IMU now.. is getting ridiculous for its fees.. They are charging RM 80k for a year (40k per semester)..

People still go for it due to their availability to do the twinning programme.

the 2013 clinical fees for leicester is 27,700....

for people starting now, the clinical fees will be decided in 2015, and will be higher....they generally increase 3-5% a year....

Yea... I dont like it.
The money we pay for good education...
Oh well.. Its a rare and good opportunity, better to not let it go to waste.

Something similar to Queen's, it seems.

Kings College and UCL now looking at 33k to 35k pounds per year!

Milking the foreign cash cows.

Passed by KCL, seems to be in rough district in London. Actually better to be outside London. ..the presence of immigrants are alarming. No wonder the native Brits are moving back to the country.

oxford and cambridge ARE outside london....

Gosh! What was I thinking?!

Free flow of labour in the EU. To work or live in UK, can go acquire pr or citizenship status in Spain, Portugal or Greece.

Personally, it only makes sense to live in an English village or some very small town. Winchester is very charming.

That's what I used to think after staying in a small town and a bigger city but I think I will miss the "happenings" in the bigger towns like expos, exhibitions,seminars, sports events, shows,museums etc. I can spent one full day at one of the museums in Glasgow going thru the exhibits and finding out how come there were so many Indians over there!

Currently, touring in UK/Europe? Another month to go before the next academic year begins.

Ideally, live in the village, and then just travel to the bigger cities for the events you mentioned. I only really like going to musicals.
Was in the UK whole of June, so had time to revisit a couple of places, and some new places. Should be going next in the spring. S's academic year starts 26th Aug, and I think his holidays will be shorter from here onwards.

Mine came back in June, did 6 weeks voluntary work at a rehab centre for disabled and going back early next month.

The actually fact NUMED is some of low ranking university similar as AMIST in Malaysia; top university in the country are all the public university in Malaysia

The true fact NUMED is a leading private university in Malaysia hot selling degree in the Malaysia market because of the word cooperation of “Newcastle” also of its link to its parents university in UK.

Note: Information given here is a personal investigation and view, student enrolling to NUMED need to validate deep with the parent University Newcastle

There is only 1 benefit to come to Newcastle, you can easily enter the UK workforce after graduating, the teaching is also geared towards the UK environment.
