Anyone study in Oxford Brookes University? How's life there ?

oo thx

hi guys,



I'm wondering whether it is possible for an international student to secure some kind of sponsorship from UK organizations/companies to fund my studies in the UK.

awesomeming

It's possible but less than 0.1% chance I reckon. Unless you're going for post graduate. British Chevening is pretty easy to get if ur good

you might be able to get some sort of bursary, partial/full scholarship, or discount from the university. but as for scholarship for international student doing undergraduate study? very rare.

Just wondering. Any one taken the sandwich program before? If yes is it sufficient enough to cover for the forth year tuition fees? Roughly how much those undertaking the sandwich program would earn?

not enough. enough for living fees, but not full tuition fee.

what sandwich program? engineering etc?

the most you can get is £17k perannum. after tax, that would be around £12k per annum. if you are really thrifty, you might be able to save £6-7k the most.

it's depends on the company. But usually it might be cover 70% (if you are lucky) of your 4th year tuition fees, don't expect it's going to pay all of your final year tuition fee. Anyway i know there's some university, that you will have risk that you can't get any offer for your sandwich year. this mean when you finish 2nd year, but you can't get any offer from a company. so you will need to straight away go for your final year.

Was quite interested in the 3 years programme(sandwich) that Portsmouth offer for civil engineering. Anyone study at Portsmouth for civil engineering before? If yes whats it like?(any recommendation) Whats the budget i would most likely have to get ready if i were to take up this course?

I dont think that is possible unless he is not using any of the money he earned that year.

Like I have calculated, 17k is pretty reasonable for sandwich student, and after tax 12k would be just be enough to cover a year of Engineering course in most uni. but he does have to pay the accommodation and food/living fees for that sandwich year doesnt he?

not sure of the exact fee for that course with Uni of portsmouth, but make it £11k per annum for tuition fee, £7k per 10 months of living fee. that makes £18k per year * 3 years = you £54k for 3 years course. expect £57k including inflation.

as for sandwich year, some uni requires you to pay an amount of tuition fee for that year, usually 1/3 of your tuition fee.

Anyone applied for a uk visa before?

I wanna know how to show origins of funds.
Thanx.

what visa? visa for what, study, work, working holiday, visitor etc?

i am applying for a prospective student visa but i just wanna know the general information on how to show origins of funds.

Hi all UK students,

Just a quick question here.
Just want to know, how much for a sems normally, let said the first year of degree.

depends on the course. science courses at a uni outside london cost about £12000/year in tuition fees. medical courses cost about 18000/year, i think non-science courses cost about £7000/year.

12000/Year means 2 Sems?

guys

we use terms terms instead of semester. there are generally 4 terms in a year, but normally only two of those are active terms for studies: autumn and winter. the other two terms, spring and summer, are usually reserved for post grads, extra subjects or something like that. most of the time, spring and summer are holidays.

u cant do part time studies in the UK, as ur visa will not allow it. fees are usually between GBP9000 to GBP12000 (international students), so assuming u're not spending the money at all, u need a job that pays GBP1000 per month. but if u wanna work, u can only take part time jobs with maximum of 20 hours per week (visa limitations), so i doubt u can actually earn enough to cover ur fees.

in london, expect to pay GBP5200 to GBP6500 per year for a small room. a cosy, intermediate room will cost about GBP7000 to GBP10k per year.

ouh ok.
But got work to cover half of the fees also ok.
As I got another half in my bank.
How to apply for scholarship?
And if I have LLB(Hons) after my graduate,what job suitable for me,coz I might work in UK for 1-2 years after graduate to cover my expenses or repay the MARA loan comparing to low salary in Malaysia.
Btw must go matriculation first ah ?
And what d max value schollarship can cover ?

Btw for the small room,is it spacy enough to bring 1-2 roommate?So can share the room fee
