hey, some senior from Teesside U here ...
welcome welcome ......
Anyway, Middlesbrough is a small town, though you canfind most items here pretty easily, as everything is within walking distance. (You just save yourself from transport $$$!!)
Though some of my seniors said that it wasn't a cold place to live in, even though it is in the northeast part of England, it should be slightly better than the real-north places ... however, I guess I am in luck, or at least i think so, this year (2009-2010) is one of the coldest year in the few decades~~ So we had our snow-friend turning everything into white blanket at about 4 inches! Hopefully you will see some snow this year too~!

People here are ok, as we have A LOT of asians, namely Pakistani, Arabians, Indians and etc ... Chinese are quite common too ... so dont worry ... you will find yourself pretty much at home ...

Btw, we have got our own Malaysian Society in Teesside Uni! Remember to look for it or ask about it when you are in the orientation or trying to apply for clubs / societies ...

Life here are manageable, just sit back and enjoy your study!

Wish you luck!

Hope to get some feedback here,

I am planning to equip myself with a MSc in Management. Do anyone here had been to UK and graduated with a MSc in Management. As I have checked with first page on forums discussing Business Universities in the UK.

The most common few are LSE, Cass Business School, Imperial, Warwick, King's and pretty much the rest. But I narrowed it down to Aston Business School (MSc in IB) and Brunel University (MSc in Management). These are not the highest ranked Unis' but I am looking at all respective points (price, course strutter, living expenses etc). Those highly ranked Unis do cost more but are recognized worldwide but could be hard to graduate from those top tier groups let alone they are in London (expensive I think).

Could anyone gives me a heads up here? Ya, I just graduated from Monash with GPA 2.8 for my honors degree.

you have used an old thread.....the v3 is linked above by canopy.....

Hi. I'm currently doing MSc Management and CEMS at LSE. The exposure is invaluable. Among your two choices, Aston Business School is a better option compared to Brunel. Perhaps you can try emailing the course coordinators and the international office in your choice of schools and try to find out more about the course, school, exposure, living expenses and all. I'm sure they would be glad to help. Why don't you add the University of Nottingham to your options as well? It's top 10 in the UK. I did my undergraduate there. It is an amazing place, people are friendly and the lecturers and professors are very approachable, helpful and knowledgable.

No doubt, the higher ranking universities cost more (esp LSE), but in exchange, you have more opportunities come knocking at your door. So far it has been good. I've met the Bank of Japan Governor, and a few other prominent people in the economy. I'll be meeting the Portugese Finance Minister and the PM of Italy in the next coming weeks.

London is generally more expensive than the other areas. Fees for my 1st year is £21k. I live at Trafalgar Square and it costs £7.8k for 40 weeks. I seldom cook and eating out costs £20 a day. Whereas if one is to cook, it costs less than £35 a week, depending on where you do your groceries.
