Yup, no much difference.
Still able to load the flash game I wish to load, and that's sufficient for my surfing in lectures.

I drive using 45 minutes. So perhaps 1 hour is a good estimation for that. No idea with the fare.

I seriously mind. But as I said, it is not mandatory yet, so, there's no need for me to worry about anything. I'm happy with SNS (Student Network Service) that is provided in the Halls. biggrin.gif

Wait, is SNS affected by this Bradford thingy? O_o The email didn't indicate that it is affected.

Don't think so. SNS and IS operates differently.

do UNMC have any programs like open day for people to visit to decides whether want to apply for the foundation program and etc?
*
Yes they have. Do check the website often to know about the latest Open Day they might have so that you can enquire.
Alternatively, you may have conducted your enquires by emails and arrange a time with the staff in concerned for an informal Open Day.

Do you guys know how much is the fee for a master program in Nottingham?

Sunway's master program costs about RM51k.
*
Kindly check the website for the fee. Depending on the course, I believe it may cost cheaper than Sunway's program. Some Master doesn't go over 40k as far as I am concerned.

Hi again smile.gif smile.gif

Is anyone here pursuing post graduate ?

I have some some questions :

1.They said each module consists of 30 hours teaching and 3-4 months individual research.  In that case so i can my do individual research in my home country and correspondent through email?. Am i correct ?  please if somebody can help me...
*
I don't think the individual research would be effective if you insist on doing that in your home country, which I believe no departments would support and allow you to.
First, you need good resources to support your research and you definitely need a library to assist you on this. So, you need the campus.
Then, you probably need face-to-face communication with others inclusive of your supervisor which you must make yourself available in the campus.
And, if you are in a Science/Engineering stream, chances are you need lab and sophisticated software that are only accessible in the campus.

I'm acquiring Master in Finance and Investment.

So do you have any idea why does this program conducted in Semenyih campus?
*
My guess is that most of the lecturers are in Semenyih campus, where they still conduct classes to undergraduate students.
And, for them, from KL to Semenyih, if you take highway, it doesn't take too long I guess..
That's why there are classes at 6:30pm like that...

According to news, Bus Route 102 will cruise between semenyih sentral-seremban via the Nottingham University, but why i don't see any bus stop outside the campus?

LOL..
The only bus I can see in Broga is the don't know what Penjara bus..
But check the date of the news. Perhaps the route has been discontinued without further notice?

BEng Mechanical is also accredited by MQA, but what's the point of MQA?
People care about BEM.

Hey guys,

I thought that no 3 years Engineering courses are accredited anywhere in the world? Min of 4 yrs right?

Anyway, if I did a 4 year MEng mechanical engineering course, can i still do a Master in Aerospace?
*
3 years Engineering courses are accredited, but you will not be able to work towards Chartered, or in Malaysia context, become an Ir.
3 years Engineering courses are accredited for one to become a registered/qualified engineering technician.

If you wish to enrol into a postgraduate Master course which gives another specialisation, you could have just completed with BEng.
IMHO, there is no point for you to complete a Master of Engineering then to do another master in aerospace studies. Bare in mind, with MEng in hand, you are a Master, despite an undergraduate one.

If you still wish to find yourself accredited and get chartered, you can opt for a postgraduate qualification that is accredited as appropiate further study to attain chartered status. For instance, the MSc Mechanical Engineering - Aerospace is an accredited Master. If you did an accredited BEng followed by that, you will find no problem for yourself to get accredited.

But getting accredited or not, there's another debate. In Malaysia, it doesn't make much difference.

Thanks for your feedback. So which is better, get a 4year BEng + a 1year MSc abroad or straightaway get a 4year MEng? Accreditation to me is important since i'll most prolly migrate in future.

On another note, from previous posts, I gather you did your SAM and are currently doing your ENG in Nottingham. Why did you choose Nottingham over other unis like Monash?

Also, what's the difference between a graduate who did a 4year BEng Aerospace and one who did a 4year BEng Mechanical + a one year MSc Aerospace?
*
Another time for me to promote Nottingham about why I choose them. LOL..

Let's get serious anyway.
If you take a comparison between Monash and Nottingham curriculum, you will see that what a Nottingham BEng study is as much as what a Monash BEng study, even though it takes 1 year less for Nottingham to complete the course.
Why is it like that? This is because Monash 1st year studies general things, which is what covered in a UK A-Level.
So, if you follow the Australia route, you can change direction after 1st year, but no such thing for UK route. You study the real subject right in the 1st semester!
That being said, when you compare Nottingham MEng and Monash BEng, 4-year vs 4-year, Nottingham MEng should give you an edge because you have studies another year of knowledge that Monash BEng don't do. That's why, Nottingham 4-year is regarded a Master, you are better.

1-year MSc is only offered in UK, as far as I am concerned. If you wish to take that MSc, I suggest you following the UK route. It saves you time as the requirement of MSc, i.e. a BEng in 1st class or 2:1, can be obtained in 3 years from the UK route but a solid 4 years from Aus route. And, if you follow the same system, i.e. UK for BEng, UK for Msc, it just eases thing out because there won't be much gaps in between your two degrees.

I will say that, putting the Final Year Project aside, you will see the contents between Mechanical and Aerospace to be at least 60% identical. That being said, what you will be studying is about the same. As a mechanical student, it also doesn't harm your chance to pick a topic from aerospace for your FYP.
In term of jobbing prospect, Mechanical still does better than Aerospace. A mechanical graduate can join the aerospace industry easily, but not as easy when an aerospace engineer wants to get into a normal mechanical industry, let say O&G.
And Mechanical does give you a second try if you happen not to like aerospace in the end. With a degree in Mechanical, you can deepen your studies in manufacturing, automotive, bio-engineering, material and a lot more. This is due to the nature of the versatility of mechanical itself.

Hope I answer your questions.
