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.

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

not pouring cold water on you. getting a job as a lawyer/start off as an apprentice after graduation in uk is very competitive/extremely difficult for foreigner.

a-level is the most acceptable pre-uni course.

12000/Year means 2 Sems?

Is 96 pounds for halls fees per week expensive?

besides sheffield, malaysians are concentrated in manchester, liverpool, dublin and glasgow. there are lots in london as well, but since london is huge, u will hardly stumble upon malaysians there. even if u do, most are just visiting .

one person per room. 'x' room per flat/house sharing a kitchen and 1-2 toilets (except ensuite). twin bed in a room is rare in uni accommodation unless in london, seen those in LSE.

btw what uni? nice student no. but if people know that no. belongs to you, you have nothing to hide on the result / notice board.

did u guys bring along the printer? i got 30kg for SQ..and now after packing all the stuffs...it is almost 24kgs...
now still wondering bring the printer there or not .....coz it is weight up to 4 or 5 kgs....

any idea?

P/s: sorry if this is out of topic..is there any laser printer come with weight 2 or 3kgs?

thanks

Now I'm opting for private accommodations and not uni accommodation. 96 per week is much too steep for me, so actively looking for someplace to stay on private property. Any tips? I'm browsing through gumtree now and sent emails to around 5 people. Need place to stay in Cheltenham. Now price range between 65 to 80 pounds per week.

Should I arrange for a short-term accommodation then look for a new one or should I just arrange for the whole year one-shot?

advise noted.

"Finding lodging in the UK is tricky, even for people who are experienced."

Finding lodging is easy. What's the tricky part?

Advises really appreciated. Uni accommodation it is

I'm only there for less than a year anyway My uni contract is for 38 weeks, then I'm graduating.

Usually how long do you have to wait from getting your final results to getting your diploma scroll?

how bout british council??confuse...

btw is northumbria uni reputable??

wanna ask here
is intake at UK only on september??1 year 1 intake only??
how bout february??

OK, so let have some real discussion, let see... ermm, ok, i follow TIMES ranking. now, im going to choose an university for MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. from the times ranking, cardiff, queen's belfast, and liverpool actually top 10 in mechanical engineering. how you think bout this??? why i chose UK is because it is fast, 3 years to get BEng... or 4 years for MEng.. so?

IMO, USA is the better place for engineering. Top US universities are much harder to get into than top UK universities for engineering. That may tell you something.

if i apply now n can i make it for this sept intake??need to wait for answer from uni,apply for visa,etc

Some universities might still have places because I reckon it's UCAS clearing time now. And some universities start end-Sept or early-Oct. So you might have 1 month to get everything done. The British are very understanding people and if you have an genuine explanation, they are able to rush things for you at lightning speed. If that's what you really wanted, so yes, it's possible.

I know for a fact someone easily got into Imperial but got rejected from several of the top US universities he applied for engineering.

when is autumn intake?

well 1st you prove it to me  that this true , the link is dead .

He's not trying anything other than giving some facts , and I don't he will be too bothered  if you care enough to find out.

It's an opinion , just as you have yours ,leave it at that.

I would add of course it is possible for any half decent U to produce good engineers but which is more likely to produce top quality people ?

A place like Toronto with near state of the Art facilities , value for money AND in a thriving glamorous city.

Or

A state U under great $ pressure since it's own Gov is in financial crisis with increasingly out dated equipment , expensive and in a run down part of the country like say Cardiff [ I know I have been to Wales many time and Glamorous is the LAST word I wold use for it , it can't even beat Bristol or Southampton as a nice location never mind Toronto].

Location matters , wonder why ?

Depends what you mean .

Wron and roight as in absolutely - No

But relatively - YES .

If it was me , it is a no brainer  NUS HKU Toronto over Liverpool, Cardiff etc any day of the week .

Cheaper , much more glamorous cities , better facilities and better professors.

these places are up and going to rise further whereas  Liverpool, Cardiff etc are down and going to drop further.

Sorry that's just the way it is , if the situation was reverse I would say the same thing but it is not.
Agreed , with Uk prices an extra year in HK/SG would come out to the same price maybe lower and you get much more prestige .

The Uk name alone does not command the same respect as it did 20-30 years ago.

Whereas HK and SG is up and coming .

thanks a lot, willhung and 2hk. hmm....tough. how about AUSTRALIA?

actually i heard you always talk about NUS or HKU.... i don like them because their background.... you get me... ?

york and durham or warwick have very good reputation and high ranking, but how if they din stand in the ranking for mechanical engineering?
