Aight outside london and big cities seems affordable. Thanks a lot for the detailed information, really appreciate it.

I personally feel that if it is top uni like ucl, lse, kcl etc the higher living cost in London is justifiable. You get better employee engagements and better networking opportunities.

Part time jobs do pay slightly higher in central London compared to other cities!

For London Unis, you are looking at around 21~26k GBP per year for tuition fees and around 1.3k GBP per month for living expenses. so you may spend a total of 30 to 50k GBP per year in London

True but that is if I can get into those unis
Thank you nonetheless

Thanks for the comments
All the replies have been very helpful and point to similar figures
I think I now have an idea how much studying in london and other parts of UK cost
Thank you once again

Hi, I’ve gathered most of my supporting documents and will be beginning my visa application soon. I’m confused as to which online form I’m supposed to use, AccessUk (https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/apply-visa-type/tier4) or Visa4Uk (https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome)?

AccessUK (the newer one) seems a lot more concise and easier to fill in compared to Visa4Uk. Will it be fine no matter which form I choose for my visa application? I might be using AccessUK but I’m still unsure.

Also, I know Malaysians don’t necessarily have to submit financial evidence with their visa application, but can I still submit them anyway? My financial evidence is a bank statement under my parent’s name (with birth certificate and consent letter) and scholarship letters from my university (partial scholarships).

Many thanks in advance!

1. I believe the AccessUK is the one you should use, the other one seems to be in BETA.
2. On what to submit, make it simple, just submit what's required. Just make the financial evidence ready if they ask later. For my two kids, they've never need to produce the financial evidence.

Thanks so much for the reply!

So if I don’t submit my financial evidence during my appointment it’s fine? So long as I still prepare them and have them with me in case they ask for them? I might not submit my financial evidence since I have three partial scholarship letters in addition to my parent’s bank statement which is a lot and might complicate things.

Since I might not be submitting my financial evidence, I won’t have to submit my translated birth certificate and parent’s consent letter then?

Also, when booking the visa appointment, can we choose any date we want provided that it is a weekday/working day? Or are only certain dates available?

Thanks again in advance (sorry for asking so many questions)!

Yes, do not complicate things. On translated birth certificate, just have it ready, if you haven't done the translation, you could just drop by at nearest JPN and get a new birth certificate which has English translation already. I think it's FOC if I remember correctly.

On the appointment date, you will be given a selection of dates, just choose one you're available. You can expedite the process by paying more but if you do it in July, I believe you should get it before you flying off.

Thanks so much again for the reply!

Yea I’ve done the birth certificate translation. I’ll be beginning my online application this week. Planning on driving to KL with my parents on the 6th of August and submitting my documents and biometrics the next day. Hopefully I’ll be able to book the date.

Regarding the appointment, can we still change the date and time of the appointment after we’ve booked?

Have you done the TB test too? Only available at few appointed clinics. Don't remember at what stage this is needed, I think during submission of documents. It is fast one and I don't think you need to have an appointment at the clinic, but better call first. List of clinics can be found at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/...ics-in-malaysia

On change of date, I've no idea. I believe someone did it before, cancelling the appointment and applying a new one. No idea if any charges will be imposed.

Yea I’ve done the TB test as well and have the certificate.

Thanks so much for answering my questions!

So Fast , when is the deadline ? My son have not even enrolled , how to apply ?

Career page, common deadline would be around oct for most position, some closes early once they had enough applicants. I'm not actually sure if first year students are able to apply for intern in ibd but well that's your homework

Most of the recruitment starts at Aug/Sept but it's always better to start earlier.

Err I actually did a mistake for the credit suisse one, the swiss position are open but not the international one. Well JP's HK/Singapore 2019 summer analyst position are open. One tip is that you don't have to limit yourself to UK too, you could apply to other countries (only applicable for international ibd).

for example this requires you to be at least a penultimate year student, but they accept students from around the world.

also do keep an eye on campus recruitment dates (firm's website) and spring internships

Hi, I’ve submitted my online visa application and booked my appointment for early next month. Going for standard route instead of priority.

These are the documents I have right now, am I missing anything? There’s still some time before my appointment but I wanted to be sure.

-Passports (current one and previous one)
-Printed visa application form with IHS reference number
-TB certificate
-Printed CAS Statement
-Printed email confirmations (IHS payment, IHS reference number, Visa payment with appointment confirmation)
-Printed receipts for additional premium services
-Evidence used to obtain my CAS like my A-Level certificate (I’m not required to submit this, right?)
-Financial Evidence (Bank letter, Scholarship letters, parent consent letter and translated birth cert), not planning on submitting these but I’m bringing them just in case
-Passport sized photos

Thanks ....

I'm doing it for my son , think that's about the requied documents . My son still need to wait for his A level result . Will be kinda rush .

Thanks for the reply! Ah yea true it’ll be kinda hectic once A-level results are released next month.

Regarding the visa application, did anyone here opt for your passport to be couriered instead of collecting it at the centre? How long did it take to arrive?

if I remembered correctly, it'll take roughly 4 days after you receive the notification (tho don't quote me on this).

During peak season will be slower.
