inti offers mechatronics, u may wanna consider this as big companies like Sony and Samsung recognizes mechatronics starting from 6 - 7 years back~ the situation may be different now though~ i recommend that you apply for all uni and then select after a few months of researching~

i'm gonna have my degree for 3 years as i'm gonna finish my diploma next month
the fees at nottingham is around 34k per year while inti is only 16k a year

curtin sarawak , mechanical

Which institution do you have your diploma?

For some institutions, you may get Year 2 entry to some local universities and even Year 3 entry to the Australian G8 universities.

At Nottingham, my friends from a college in same state is unable to get Year 2 entry. Nottingham is even reluctant to offer them a place for 1st year entry. Alright, they are my coursemates now though.
And, let me tell you, they took Fluid Mechanics before and they are telling me that they are learning new things already even in their Year 1. Perhaps, that's the standard for Nottingham..

Uniten is quite famous for their Mechanical Engineering and some say MMU Malacca Campus also not bad for that. But, one is said to be a lot of Malays and one is said that the experienced lecturers are leaving.

im taking my diploma at TARC
yeah i won't consider nottingham cause it's too expensive
uniten and mmu too many malays
now applying at inti but dono whether inti is the right choice or not

may i know exactly who said that Mechanical in MMU Malacca Campus is not bad?

Hmm, I guess I heard it somewhere here and there.
Then, I went and check the course structure and it's really not bad, if the lecturers are okay.

what about utp?
they accept diploma qualification.i heard its tough to get a place in utp but i think it is wotrh a try.they even provided scholarship for every single student that attend utp n the scholarship varies from a well known local to international company (corrct me if im wrong ).

just my 2 cents

it's not that i'm racist or what but utp majorities are malays

UTAR la..
If you don't want Malay..

I feel that you need to pay a visit to those universities, the one that your budget allows. Choose the one you like the most.
One of the thing that I prefer when visiting a university is I am more happy to deal with an academic staff instead of a marketing staff. An academic staff speaks truths everyday, instead of marketing staff who speaks truths and lies. If you like the environment, who cares if it's a lot of Malay?

Curtin Sarawak
Swinburne Sarawak
Monash Sunway Campus

these 3 so far i think the best !!!!
I love Curtin Bcuz living cost there very low . RM800 per month only

FYI i'm taking my diploma at TARC beside UTAR now
if u wan me to choose utar i rather go inti
curtin, monarsh and the rest are beyond my budget cause i intend to borrow $ through ptptn
and the max per year i can borrow is around 16k if i'm correct

FYI i was in MMU for many years
if u wan me to choose MMU i rather go ANYWHERE ELSE

feel free to check all MMU related threads here in Education Essentials

Inti ah..
You sure Inti or not..

I am not trying to discourage you, but I ran away from Inti, despite my gf is still there.
The reason is I don't like the environment and I hold doubts on their lecturers' quality.
When we talk about a faculty, I believe most people will say, a building, alright, worse comes to worst, a floor of the whole building.
In Inti, FOEIT is only, hmm, quarter of a floor?
And, when you look up FOEIT academic staffs, you find that most of them do not have PhD titles. That doesn't mean they are not good but they won't be as good as a supervisor for your final year project if you intend on doing something big.

But you can go and see Inti la..
You like then ok la..
at least their accommodation is cheap, lots of variety of food..
got nice mamak there..
then still can sing k..
still got club ah they say, new one..
so good!

wa..
dude don scare me
seriously i don't know what to do

NO la..
just my personal preference that dislikes Inti..
I feel you really need to visit the campus prior on choosing.

The place will be somewhere you will be staying for 2-4 years and you cannot find yourself to hate the place lo, right?

i've been there before
the campus is small(hostel compound is very big thou) compare to TARC
i've friends studying there too they said the foods are nice and cheap

Where got cheap. Reasonable la..
I like the Wan Tan Mee there..
you go there I teach you how to get lots of wantan!
