For those who are planning to go for UK mobility, I came up with a checklist of items that I submitted to VFS Centre, which I did today. Note I have NOT received my visa (should be receiving it in about 3 weeks, hopefully) and this checklist is just for reference, because I felt that it might be helpful. My category is Tier 4 General (Adult) Student going for full year mobility.

Yes, there's a B.Eng/M.Eng Mechanical Engineering at Nottingham Malaysia Campus which you could complete at the Malaysia Campus alone. You could even complete your PhD here, if there's an offer. Yes, it takes 3 years to complete B.Eng.

Yes, the cert of the Malaysian campus is identical to that of the UK campus. That really depends on the individual employer, but I don't think which campus will really matter.

If you forget your ID, you could email the librarians, who can change your Athens password for you. It worked for me.

What students usually do to reach Serdang is to take the university bus to Kajang KTM and then stop at Serdang Station. Why? Would you be staying at Serdang?

Maybe the government wants to save cost and send the JPA scholars into Nottingham Malaysia instead of overseas. Probably related to the recession.

Yea, but you could use the ordinary bus service (to Kajang, but with stops along the way) to go to Semenyih and buy from Econsave, Fajar or the shops there.

Yes, the system used: ground floor is all male, 1st floor all female, 2nd floor all male, 3rd floor all female.

No. The list of rooms below show the only types of available on-campus accommodations. How about applying for 2 single ensuite or 2 single shared ensuite?

Also none that I know of off-campus. It's either Edu-Square (Also like options 1,2,4 but larger) or a rented house (usually up to 5-6 people per house)

No, all engineering courses have totally different first years except if they closely related. Example:

1) Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Electronic & Communication Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering have common first years.
2) Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering have almost the same subjects in the first year.

Other than that, they are different.

I'm afraid yes, but just ask them and see.

Depends on whether you are more concerned about Internet Connection or convenience. On-campus internet connection is not good and it's controlled so you cannot Torrent etc. However, if you stay on-campus, it's very convenient for eating, going to the sports complex, or Student Association. If you have a car, you can have the best of both worlds. I'll definitely consider staying on-campus in my third year.

Can. But the thing is... your total download limit is only 5GB every month before they reduce your bandwidth to 1/3. Another thing is I'm not sure whether there's Celcom coverage on campus.
