I'm afraid that you'll need to go for the next round of application(intake 2007). Pharmacy is a competitive course, most if not all universities would have had a complete file since january or so.

You would know if you have visited the repsective unversities' website.

In any case, UCAS and MABECS are places to start.

Science and engineering graduates are allowed to stay back a year to do an internship or whatever. However, once the one year is up, you MUST leave the country unless a company sponsors your work permit.

No, it is not easy to get a job in the UK. In order to get a work permit, your employer must submit evidence that you are the only one suitable for the job, you are the only one qualified for the job. Mind you, it is not an easy process. Why?

Firstly, you're an international which means there mustn't be a local or an EU citizen suitable for the job in order for you to be hired. You can be sure that there will be locals and EU citizens who are exactly like you or better than you. So why you?
Secondly, you're not the only international student in let's say Sheffield. There are lots of international students who are intellectually your equal and there are many who are smarter than you too. So why you?
Thirdly, Sheffield is a good university, but when we consider other universities, in the same league as Sheffield and a league above Sheffield, you sure get one darn big group of capable internationals, locals and EU citizens. So why you?

Like it or not, some companies are prestige conscious and only go for famous universities. In the UK, the famous ones are Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, LSE, UCL, King's and a few more. If you're not from one of the above, you will find it hard to make it into the shortlist.



It won't hurt you if you display some resourcefulness. Don't you know that there is something called 'the homepage of the university'?

As a guide, expect fees to be roughly GBP11k-9k per year for an engineering degree at charter universities. Living cost, GBP500-600 a month outside London. To be safe, have at least RM120k-100k per year.

part time......You can only work 20 hours a week during term time. However, it is unlikely that you're able to work 20 hours a week. Don't you need to study? Don't you need to attend classes? Your classes start at 9 and ends at 5 or the earliest 3, do you go straight to work after that? No assignments? No projects? Weekends? Are you going to work for the whole day, don't need to clean your room? cook? study? Won't you be tired since your weekdays last from 9am to 9pm?
You should be proud of yourself if you can complete 10 hours.

I think the minimum pay per hour is GBP7 or so.

EPL match tickets are usually sold out, thanks to season pass holders. If you really want to catch a match, you can get tickets from the black market.........which is not worth it since the price may go up to like GBP300.

Try division 1,2,3 or conference................................

How did you do that?

I should try when I fly.

You'll be spending a lot on tube fares then.

I don't think it is only meant for US and UK bound students. It's a good read for all who are going overseas.

If you want a good pay and a good standard of living, try other countries. UK is not the best place to settle down.

It is possible to get a job but the job that you'll get won't be something to die for.

Yeah. If your boss decide not to hire you, you have to return to Malaysia.

Get your lappies over there, better support and coverage.

No pirated console games. Very expensive for us to get the original ones.

ISIC. Get it as soon as possible. You'll save a big sum when it comes to air tickets. Basically, travel fares.

As for the suit, you can make it here or BUY it there.

If anything happens to the laptop, it may take up to 2 months or so to get your laptop back.

2 months without a computer is horrible.

Are you sure about this figure?

Tuition fees does not depend on one's lifestyle.

So, are you sure that the fees are £10k+ for the a postgrad degree?

Sheffield or Sheffield Hallam?

Yes, most likely. You'll be spending two years in the UK.

What are the requirements?

AAA in what subjects?
