$1k / month is only basic expenses, if u were to move into a new house, u need extra for bond, furniture, white goods etc

you will have to check with iem, but rmit is a reputable lower 1st tier uni and part of atn (http://www.atn.edu.au/), so it should be.....

i would generally recommend a g8 (other than melb) or atn uni, you can't go wrong, and their fees are generally not significantly more than 2nd and 3rd tier unis........

yes they do..friend doing internship in perodua ...so why not recognise?

if you are graduating now in engineering, you have a almost 100% chance of getting a job in oz.........they are very short of engineers, with the booming economy and commodities market.......

if you are entering uni now, when you graduate in 4-5 years time, it is difficult to predict........the economy could be in recession, and the cohort of graduating engineers will be more, as most unis have increased their engineering intake last and this year.........note that in the late 80's there was a slump, and many engineers were out of jobs in oz........

where you graduate from may have a small part to play in whether you get to be called for an interview or not......but once you have a job, and for your subsequent jobs, it's you work performance that will determine your future....you paper qualification becomes irrelevant.......

if you intend to return to malaysia, you may want to ascertain if the qualification is recognised by iem (and jpa, if you want to work for the gov) or not.........

A standard undergraduate Engineering program in Australia is 4 years.

Hey guys i'm just wondering, for those who took engineering, i knew that in the math exam you're not allowed to use the calculator(correct me if i'm wrong) but for other subjects that requires calculation you can use a calculator, i would like to know do i have to buy a new scientific calculator or the one that i have now which is a Casio scientific calculator model fx-570MS (i bought this in 2004) is good enough for me to go through the exam.

The maths subjects I've done all allow calculators in the exams, but they are provided by the university since we can't bring our own calculators for finals. They are Casio FX-570s. Other unis may have different regulations, so check the university's respective guidelines.

eh ... most courses won't allow graphic calculators to be used... you can use it in ur home, but its not going to help you during the exam when you can't use it

they are referring i think to the uk engineering degree, which is often a 3 year programme.......iem has a rule about needing a full 4 years, so i think she was referring to making time to fulfill the 4 year rule by doing a masters year......

yet again this depends on ur respective uni. mine allows graphic calculators

Would like to ask some info regarding electronic & electrical engineering here, hmmm is University of Western Australia good in this course? I'm considering this university to get my degree as UNSW is not cheap for the living course nor the fees, although its a top Uni, what i would like to know is UWA consider good in this course? THX!!

does anyone know where to get accounting books with australian standard here in KL? planning to buy my books frm here b4 heading back la...thx

I was just wondering,what happens when u dont pay ur fees by the date stipulated which is a month before uni starts?

me to will go there for orientation on the 18th.

Hopefully will see you there soon.. Just curious though, they have business course in City West campus?

you'll have to face a late-payment fee; and you might be restrained from using the university's resources eg. student database

i'm not sure about the rest but on top of that, QUT also withdraws your unit if you owe them for more than $1k after the consensus date. dont go to casino with your uni fee, you'll be alright

city west campus is where all the business courses will be taught. where else city east campus is more towards medical line (eg pharmacy or nursing...etc)

i'm doin bachelor in commerce (accounting) in city west
