u can try to get d jpa loan...but oni when u're entering 3yr..it oni for ur tuition fees...max for d loan is 250k n no interest i think...if u can afford first 2 years n living cost in uk then should be no prob edi..

if u gt good result in a level, i think u can get discount fot tuition fees (1st 2 years) rite..25% if im nt mistaken...i think i read someone's post (forget which thread edi) that they give out partial scholarship tat worth 1k pounds when ur entering 3rd year.

im nt sure how much the discounts n loan info can help u, but i hope tat u can enrol into tis course..hopefully can see u in 3rd year

"SAM/AUSMAT/MUFY are not limited to just Monash Malaysia or Australian unis. As far as I know, they're accepted all over Malaysia. There's no doubt about their qualification."

yes, that is true but some uni review each application on case by case basis. so that would be a tiny disadvantage with using SAM/AUSMAT/MUFY. if you are really good, you should be able to get in anyway

i think nottingham its a safer bet than strathclyde and its better for the final yr since nottingham is a research intensive uni and also their have links with a lot pharmaceutical companies. not clear bout strathclyde though.

I already took my IELTS during the middle of this year so I'm not worried about it.

@boaz: IMU will be having an open day in January so I'm going to go there to see how the facilities are.

I do need input from those that are in UK universities about my subjects since I did apply for School of Pharmacy.

Im now doing my 1st yr in nottingham(uk), to be honest its actually easy to get offers, i have got offers from nott, manchester, london school of pharm and also bath...i withdrew my offer from cardiff since its my last choice.all u need is chem and two other subs preferably sciences or maths

@vanPersieXX: Easy to get offers? O___o may I ask what conditional offers were you given for your grades? Since wow my parents all think that you need all straight A's to be able to get in and not just meet their minimum requirement.

@Jerk: It seems that my parents do look on people's opinion? O_o I'm going to apply for the Nottingham campus here as well. I'm sure you have to work hard to graduate. Also do you know when is the deadline for applications to Nottingham Malaysia?

@DireAnguish5678: Thank you for thinking I can handle physics however I think I should work hard with just my 3 subjects as I have my outside activities to consider as well (ie piano). I will go to Nottingham twinning as my last resort maybe.

The highest one is 2A 1B, the lowest is 1A 2B (london school of pharm only ask for A2 result) + ielst. and if u missed their requirement lets say u gt 2A 1C u still can get in although u might need to talk to them. overall its easy to get offers for international students, unless u r applying to oxbrigde or courses like med,dentistry or vet. icon_rolleyes.gif

EDIT: entry is guaranteed if u fulfill their conditions
