Uni for IT/computing? I would say University of Cambridge or University of Nottingham is the best.. If you have no problem with tuition fees, then i would say.. go for it.. hahaha... Usually qualification for university in UK is minimum second upper class (2.1) or second lower class (2.2). erm.. not sure how to calculate CGPA.
By the way, should we close this thread.. and open a new thread for Studying in UK? it's quite a lot post in this thread.. 2k-3k....

For the tuition fees, I might be applying for scholarship.. If I didn't qualify for it, might getting a loan, maybe from MARA.. Can I ? And might working part time as this September I'll already finished my diploma and can only apply for next year's entry..

i would say yes. maths is usually a compulsory subject for admission into comp science.

GCSE maths = A-level maths.
you will have to check from travel agent yourself. there are a few cheap airline options, e.g. emirates, royal brunei etc.

Then, I'll need to take the A level instead of applying just using my diploma ? doh.gif I thought I don't have to take anything anymore including English.. Now can using 1119 SPM for English requirement, but still need to take A level for math requirement cry.gif

I couldn't believe it, my sister's visa application rejected twice and it's less than a month she will be flying to UK. First time they rejected because the money wasn't there, but the document for the loans and stuff are pretty much ready just waiting for the money to be transfered. Ok fine, now we got the money but this time they said the money is not in her bank account, and it is in my father's bank account. WTF is this man.

How much they required the money to be in the account ?

How about if we apply for scholar @ loan ? Do we need to get that 100k in our account as well ? Or it's already another case ?

it's another case, although have similar method and implications.

if u're under a scholarship, the sponsor will provide with a letter that indicates they're gonna sponsor ur entire fees plus monthly allowances. during the application process, the uk-visa company will contact ur sponsor to verify ur status. if it's all green, u should be ok.

if the sponsor only covers partial fees or did not come with monthly allowances, u will still need to provide proof that u can sustain urself there or cover the other half of the fees. perhaps RM100k in the bank should convince them enough.
