RM300 per SEMESTER only? Which universities are you comparing with? I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), only public unis would charge such low and very much affordable rates for accommodation.

I think it is not that fair to be comparing the prices of accommodation in private and public universities. I don't wanna sound insensitive, but perhaps you can figure out the reasons yourself.

Hello, I have some inquiries here.

Does the foundation fee rm 5500 per semester and degree rm25k per year included exam fee ?

The textbook need to pay extra to buy it is it?
Any additional fees?

The fees you stated are inclusive of exam fees. Or should I say, there is no stipulated exam fee. However, there is a fee charged for resitting exams in the event of receiving a fail.

No additional fees are required.

Textbooks are just recommended textbooks that the lecturers might refer to during lectures or providing notes. It is entirely your choice if you wish to buy them. These books are also available for loan from the university's library. Note that students are also selling used books at a much cheaper rate, usually 50% or even lower.

Oh..okay.
Thanks so much ya

If you receive a first class honours or upper second class for BEng, I think they will allow you to take your PhD without having to go through your MEng.

In my opinion, the fees for bachelors degree is worth it (it's a British University Degree) but for foundation it's quite costly. For me, I did my A-level in TAR College, and since I was a recipient of their merit scholarship, it cost me less than RM3000 (including exam fees) for the whole course.

A meal on campus would could cost as low as RM3.50 - RM4.50 or as high as RM15 depending on what you take/order. There are 3 eateries on campus currently (I think they'll be adding a forth one soon) and if you have a car, you could drive to Broga/Semenyih for meals.

Ya, I found that foundation is costly too as I'm not from affluent family.
So, how do you get the merit scholarship in TARC?
Apply using SPM result or Alevel?
For business student, what subject can I choose in A-level?
Can I have my foundation in other college then proceed a degree in Nott? haha.
But I think the foundation programme in Nott is quite good. It's quite packed.

I applied using my SPM. It's given automatically:
8As - 75% scholarship for tuition fees
9As and above - 100% scholarship for tuition fees
(A - either A1 or A2)
You must maintain 60% for every tests in order to maintain the scholarship.

For subjects, check out this website:

I'm not sure whether foundation programmes for other universities are accepted at UNMC but I think it's best to call them (03-89248000) or email them: enquiries@nottingham.edu.my

A-level arts?
Haha, how is TARC? Is it nice?
So, do you have any other comment on UNMC? haha...
I wish to know more..

The last i asked if they accepted MUFY (Monash University Foundation Year), they said yes. I don't quite remember what the exact entry requirements were, but, I do remember that achieving that grade was somewhat impossible (i believe about 80 and above), and I totally ditched the idea of taking MUFY.

Then I think it is better for me to take foundation in commerce in UNMC..
though it is rather expensive.
But I think it may help me to prepare well for my live in UNMC..haha!

Definitely. the Foundation Programme in Business and Management at UNMC will provide you extensive academic knowledge and experience required for you to perform well in the First Year Degree Programmes. It also gives you a well rounded exposure before entering into first year, such as examination and assignment requirements, study skills, and of course, mingle well with the community on campus which comprises of various nationalities and cultures - thus: a smooth transition from high school life into a full fledge university.

It may be a hectic programme, but it's all worth while, as everything you undergo will contribute to your own personal development - and it is how hard you work that determines your success.

By the way, you can choose 2 semester (July Intake) or 3 semester (April Intake). I would suggest you take the April Intake, as you have an extended/head start period compared to your peers from the July Intake. By then, you will already be familiar with almost everything on campus, and won't be in a daze when July comes around.

I wish to enroll for April intake too..
But I've NS from March to June..
So..I'll be there on July. Haha.

If you have already enrolled, I believe you can defer NS right?
Defer for a few years, and at the same time search for a doctor.. *ahem ahem*

Ya. Certainly .
Yet, I intend to go
It may be a good experience

Haha, okay and have fun

It's alright. You'll meet more mandarin/cantonese speaking friends than english speaking ones. The facilities are good (6-floor library, sports complexes, computer centre, two canteens etc. ). The best thing about TARC is it's convenient location - it's close to the restaurants, bank, cybercafes, saloons, LRT station (easy access to the city) etc. and there are plenty of accommodation options.

UNMC has good facilities and very good professors/lecturers and you'll get to meet students from many different countries. The thing I like most about UNMC is the amount of feedback they get from the students. They'll want to know your feedback on every subject and lecturer (each has a separate form), library, IT services, the food etc. One downside is that it's a bit far from town (there's a shuttle bus though) and nothing much goes on around Taman Tasik Semenyih (there are campus activities though) so you'll have to look for your own entertainment.

Hello.
Hmm,
