University of Gloucestershire. Final year of Media Communications & Culture. On it it says, word by word:

"Please note that the offer is conditional upon a deposit of 1000 being paid. The offer will not be made unconditional until fundas have cleared and any other conditions are met".

The letter comes with the accommodation guide and the open day book. Like I say, it all looks legit, and we're prepared to bank in the money, just that when I saw the letter came from Malaysia, there's that 1% of doubt.

By the way, the company is called E-West Education Services Sdn Bhd and I met them on the Star education fair late last year.

All help really, really appreciated.

hi, gonna be studying mechanical engineering in sheffield. Juz wondering tho, has anyone/is it possible to transfer university like they allow with australlian universities via credit transfer?

representatives..they have an office in KL..damansara

well now you know they do, actually that office handles for all students around our asian region not juz malaysia.. and well in fact according to one of their lecturers i talked with told me they accept applications outside UCAS as long as the results are right even up till late august. Not that i knew about this beforehand, but i bumped into them by chance and found out about this.

Transferring to Imperial, London or some university closer to the city will increase your cost much further.

Since you ask about transferring credits from UK to Australia, do not expect anything less than 2 years more with the Australian University of your choice.Even if you're a final year bachelor degree student in the UK, they won't allow unit per unit transfer.It makes sense for any university not to allow this because students would just transfer as they like.

If the universities are from the same country then things will be a bit different because they have similar systems.

It is much easier to transfer credits from let's say Uni A to Uni B both based in Australia.

not all dental treatment is covered fully by NHS. that is why you have to pay part of the treatment.

as for typical treatment with your NHS gp/doctor, you will be covered. if you are in england, the most is that you have to pay 7.10pound per item on prescription, 4 pounds something for scotland and totally free of charge in wales.

My family in Malaysia did a FedEx shipment to UK, which cost them around RM592. I received the parcel two weeks ago. Today, I received a letter from FedEx saying that I still owed them GBP56.20 (duty/taxes charges) as follows:

[Value Build Up Details]
Freight Charges - GBP197.25 (but in fact it's only RM592)
VAT Value Adjustment - GBP6.69
Invoice Total - RM500 (exchange rate: 6.3803)
Administration Fee - GBP6.80

Do you think I can ask FedEx to waive this payment because all the stuffs in the shipment are OLD or USED stuffs?

Kindly advise.

Hi... You always give useful and constructive advices to help solving my problem. Appreciate a lot !

does anyone know anything abt UCL?( university college london) i have to send in my UCAS applications now and i reallt dunno where to go. i really want to go to london actually, so help please. thx

Since there's a topic "Studying in the UK", so it's not necessary for me to post a new topic.

I would like to ask, besides Sheffield, which other cities have a lot of Malaysian students?

Another question. Can an undergraduate/postgraduate student have a credit transfer to any UK universities from any local universities (private or gov) for 2nd or 3rd year?

If you walk down Oxford St in London, you are GUARANTEED to bump into Malaysian Malay makciks and pakciks.

university of edinburgh is the most prestigious 1
and it's a really beautiful city
it'll be my top choice IF i'm allowed to go UK later
not really sure which is the best uni though
and i heard from my seniors (IMU alumni) in UK saying that it'll be easier for Scottish medicine graduate to work in England than English graduate to work in Scotland
again not really sure

azarimy, I am pretty interested on how's your (study) route from Malaysia to UK (starting from Pre-U courses) =D.

Further questions...

1. what do u guys doing during weekend?working?is there anyone of u doing the kind of business like online business?selling at ebay? 

2. Is there the racist serious over Sheffield ? do any of u guys encounter with the fight between Asian and white? how about the security over there? high crime rate?

3. The adapter of the electricity isit the same as in malaysia? or i need to purchase a so called international adapter for my all kind of plugs?like laptop..ipods and so on?

Thank for info as well as reply...the answers badly needed...  

Hi guys, I'm going to UK in this sept, further my master degree 1 year in Sheffield university. I had climb this thread for almost 1 week, day and night..yet haven't finished it!! damn lot man!

However, i had few questions here.  
1. it is better to bring along bank draft there or just T/T there?as i read from the previous, it quite hard to apply if i din have any bank draft in hand? and if i bring along bank draft around gbp20k, i need to declare it to the UK immigration before i fly?i m taking SQ anyway.

2. I'm not planning to take university accommodation as i found out that the accommodation out there is a lot cheaper compare to uni one. BTW, what is the different between Studio and one bed room apartment there? is it what they said,if studio there must be single occupant? one room apartment can be more,like couple? coz the price is different for both even thought same unit same facilities and everything is the same. If i turn up with a private sector accommodation, i need to register with the student union? is it advisable to take private accommodation ?

3. I'm going with my gf, and planning to get a room outside, as we can save a lot and can cook somemore to squeeze up the living expenses as the uni accommodation for studio didn't allow 2 person. so, any recommendation for us? monthly budget not exceed 500per month, i guess my campus is located somewhere at S3,so, if i could taking up an one room apartment with fully furnished somewhere there would be fantastic. no need to walk so far. coz i'm taking MSc ENG control system and she is taking management international business.

4. Regarding the internet broadband, since watching tv have to be licensed, then what about internet tv online streaming?like some of the software like pplive? we need to register with the authorities?

thanks for reply and information!! very sorry if i repeated the question had been ask by others..coz i hardly to read all ..  
advice and opinion is badly needed..thanks very much

This is kinda a weird question. Normally in student dorm what size bed they provide, single or super single? I'd say single but they have some huge kids there too (country with the biggest obese population and all that), so I have to be sure.

Bringing my bed sheets from here.
