Then you shouldn't worry about not meeting the requirements. There is something wrong if you can't score AAA.

Cambridge and Oxford are collegiate universities.

Have to pay more, for a flight to be considered as a connection, it must be within 24 hours of the preceeding flight.

Probably your ticket is of another band. Or that is the earliest possible connection available.

You will be asked to take out your laptop and put it on a tray for inspection. No worries

X-rays always have the same energy. Intensity probably increases the chances of frying the electronics.

For internationals, $$$ and grades. Schools usually hand out more offers than there are places available, that way they can ensure that all places will be filled up when school starts.

As in your case, I suppose the teacher reference made that difference.

Expensive.

What institutions are you looking into?

Seriously......anyone can get into Imperial.

The advice is, prepare your finance, You probably need about RM800k or more for the entire duration.

If you get a scholarship, then don't worry lah.
Ballpark about 13k-14k pounds per year for tuition fees. 3k-5k for Miscellaneous fees. 600-800 pounds for living cost, high quote for London.

Engineering in the UK is more or less comparable. So choose according to your budget.

Everything is common, you get so many people doing engineering, you'll also get so many people doing economics. If something rare is what you want, go to LACs in the US.

No one knows, you have to contact the admission tutor to see if your offer is still valid. It is evident that you have not met a quarter of the stipulated condition, so you'll probably forfeit that offer.

If Heriot Watt is your firm choice and you have met the offers, you have no choice but to go there.There is however a way to ditch the offer,either the admissions tutor at HW retracts your offer or you reject your firm and insurance and go for clearing.

Regardless, it won't help much. MORSE is a popular course at warwick and it is not surprising that the department will no longer accept new applications or make new offers at this time of the year. You have to apply for next fall.

You can contact UCAS directly.

No point doing so. You won't get the course that you want for clearing. Clearing is basically for people who couldn't meet their insurance requirements and have no place to go. The universities and the courses available are usually the lower end ones. Warwick itself is a very good university and MORSE is like its jewel on the crown. It's just like expecting a place at LSE to do economics at this time of the year.

Admission standard to UK universities are quite pariah these days.......
Generally for A-levels, UCAS tarif points are not applicable. Offers are given based on number of As ie letter grades, not points.

...........Get a checking account? There is one branch of Maybank in London.........

University of Bristol and UWE are different schools.

UCL is a good school, just that it is desperate for international students and their monies.

Durham is up north, offers a good physics program. If you can't make it into Oxford and Cambridge and don't want to go to York but still want to study in a collegiate university. Durham is a good choice.

Bristol is also solid in most if not all fields. You will never go wrong there. Bristol IIRC is a fairly cheap place to live in.

The US for law?

Can't help you with postgrad. These 3 schools are not difficult to enter at the undergraduate level for most courses.

Bristol?

you pay more tax too.....

You do know that a lot of Malaysians end up at some pariah British universities right?

It is also logical to believe that HKU would be a tough nut to crack, owing to the fact that there are a lot of mainland chinese students enrolled there. Not forgetting the tenured chinese professors at HKU too. Any degree science based degree programs would probably be one of the toughest in the world.

I don't know what do you do for a living. But I do know that for most professions other than the service industry, the average income wouldn't be that high and one would need to be frugal if one is also working in London.

With the exception of Oxbridge and some UOL colleges, pretty much all universities in the UK are below HKU in the rankings. I would personally place HKU comparable to universities like Manchester, Warwick, Bristol and all, a class lower than LSE, King's and all in terms of reputation. In terms of workload, it would probably be as demanding as Oxford and Cambridge.
So yes, HKU can beat the crap out of numerous UK universities.

On tuition fees, HKU wins hands down. There is no way you can find a reputable university in the UK that charges internationals GBP6k per year. Living cost,GBP5k per year, certainly comparable to cities like Birmingham, Manchester and all.

I am not too sure about HK being a city with one of the highest unemployment rates. I do know that it is the freest economy in the world. That means that the market takes care of itself. Once you have that, jobs will be abundant.

So what university are you from? Bristol?
