If a student is about to go to UK for further studies after his/her pre-university course, does he/she needs to take IELTS or TOEFL when he/she is still studying Australian Matriculation, Canadian Pre-U or A-Levels? *I know Form 6 students have to take this, but not sure other pre-u courses*

And which one of them (IELTS OR TOEFL) is more preferable/acceptable by most universities in UK?

IELTS is much more preferred in the UK. I m not sure if you need to take the exam or not but most likely all University will ask you to take one as this is to see your level of English. You can ask he/she to ask if the University accept TOEFL result so that he/she would not have to take IELTS exam

You will only need to the take IELTS when the course needs you to. I would estimate 50% of courses(say English Literature) require students(especially overseas students) to have IELTS as a prove of their language competency. However, my course is engineering and they didn't request for IELTS, most probably because I have 1119. It depends on the university whether or not to state IELTS as a condition when giving conditional offers.

Hey all,

I'm a student of Nottingham University, Malaysia Campus....I'm on a mobility course which i took for my year 2 starting this September and I will be studying in The University of Nottingham, UK Campus for only a year. I was wondering what essential stuff that i should bring along??....what bank should I go for to open up an account(which acc is good for students? and current or savings?)....furthermore which telco company i should go for? This is my first time going UK to study...so i'm kind of new to the environment....can any kakak/abang/korkor/jiejie here give vital information for me to prepare?? .......Plus, is it neccessary that i go for medical check up??when we arrive at the airport, does the security ask for medical reports???...please advice

Usually, which organization that will sponsor @ give loan to the students that want to further studies in UK ?

What essential stuff to bring?
It all depends on what you need. If you need computer then you will need to bring one as electronic stuff is more expensive then in Malaysia. If you need Malaysian food then of coz you will need to bring Malaysian food
If you are planning to bring sambal or stuff like seafood and stuff, remember to double/triple or even more layer so that it can cover the smell as it is very strict now to bring food over to UK.

What telco company should you join?
The main telco company in UK is BT and Virgin Media. Both are very big telco company. (there might be more) BT is like our Telekom while Virgin Media is a newer brand as they have bought over some other media station to form their own telco company. Other telco company needed to be mention is Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile and Orange which are mobile phone provider

What bank should you go for?
Well most of the student will probably choose HSBC.

Do you need medical checkup?
If you are flying to London Heathrow then i would suggest you do one. If you are flying towards Manchester then i dont think you will need one. I have not encounter any problem during my flight to Manchester for the past few years.

You can try JPA.

ielts. do it just to be safe in case ur uni needs too see that, mostly yes.

essential stuff? daily wear, laptop (not essential but advantageous).

what bank? HSBC passport account. there is no need for saving account.

telco? i recommend either vodafone or o2.

medical checkup? if your uni demands one. if not, just get a x-ray scan in case the officer in heathrow wants to see them.

Cheap international call: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/...OBILEWORLD.HOME

Is it good? Calls to Malaysia 5.9p per minute (landline) and 8.1p (mobile). I prefer not to use calling cards, and deal w/ contracts.
