Looking back at my previous post, I realised that i had unintentionally left a question unanswered, posted by Marvy Chef asking where am I taking my masters degree. Which gave me an idea for my next entry :-) Prior to my HLP application, I did some homework first by browsing thru various courses & universities available. Initially i wanted to apply for a Japanese university but it seems that i had to learn the language on my own or take up part-time language classes here in Malaysia before pursuing studies. I do not think i'm confident & disciplined enough to follow thru so i decided to look at other options available & chose UK.
Once the offer was out, apart from local universities, there were only 7 universities (for Computer Science and Informatics) to choose from as suggested from the guidelines. They are as follows (March 2011 post " Senarai Universiti - UK utk Sesi 2011"):-
· University of Cambridge · Imperial College London · University of Southampton · University of Edinburgh · University of Oxford · University College London · University of Manchester And alhamdulillah Manchester wants me hehe... Wether you're applying for local or overseas, you can visit seminars & education fairs to find out lists of educational institutions, gather general information such as admission requirements, procedures etc. I always insist on a hardcopy of prospectus (not environment-friendly!) Just like the feel of reading from a book although it is always better to refer to the university website as it is regularly updated :-) | |
Salam Jue... this entry is very interesting cuma saya nak tanya lagi...
BalasPadamSaya banyak browse info2 U yang disenaraikan melalui internet je sebab tak berkesempatan nak ke Education Fair kerana faktor lokasi...
Ju amik mode research ke? Sbb mostly kat UK offer by research.. Australia ada coursework (Sydney + Melbourne).
Wsalam Marvy.. saya pilih coursework.. boleh dikatakan kebanyakan uni yg saya survey ada menawarkan both coursework & research.. Meaning to say mostly UK offer by research is probably true for certain courses kot..
BalasPadamDulu saya rajin juga survey mcm-mcm universiti tapi bila JPA keluarkan panduan senarai universiti yang terkemuka (according to UK RAE 2008), i limited my search to only those from that list. I figured probably it would be easier to obtain approval from JPA later on.
But then again I believe there's no stopping if you have your heart else where. Just try your luck and apply for as many uni as you like. Tak semestinya hanya uni yg kita nyatakan dalam proposal sebab ada yg apply luar negara tapi ditawarkan dalam negara. Bila berjaya ditawarkan HLP, boleh tuntut bayaran permohonan ke universiti maksimum sehingga 3 universiti (syarat tahun 2011).
Don't fret u still have plenty of time to decide :-)
Thanks a lot for the info.
BalasPadamSemasa menerima tawaran sementara tu boleh cuba apply banyak U ye.. hehehe.. ingatkan tak boleh claim.. mmm.. menarik..
Saya baru siapkan Study Plan. Pilihan di Sydney je. Easiest yang jumpa so far.. cari2 yang dalam list tu jenuh juga nak jumpa yang betul2 kena skop dan minat, bukan apa, kalau amik yang tak minat, takut takleh commit.. hehe..... last2 turn kepada first list yg ditapis ni juga (Sydney/Melbourne).
Thanks jue.. banyak juga info ni. Really appreciate it.
kalau ikutkan heart, nak pergi US.. macam Ju, nak ke Jepun. hehe.. tapi tu lah, faktor tidak menepati minat kepada course yang ditawarkan tu...
BalasPadamYup, provided JPA tak tetapkan universiti dlm offer letter tu & boleh claim jika syarat tersebut masih terpakai utk HLP kali ini.
BalasPadamPilih Aussie ye.. Define easy :P Any choice is a good choice. Dapat local uni pun dah patut syukur. Sapa nak tanggung kita belajar, kasi elaun belajar mcm2 pastu duit gaji pun jalan ye tak..
Memang jenuh.. antara 'pilihan' uni yg saya ada mau kena dapat first class degree baru bleh apply. Sila rujuk entri May 'Postgraduate Education Fair' utk tambahan tips mengenai pemilihan kursus.
Salam sister Juliana, saya ongoing untuk merangka proposal untuk Master...kalau kita pilih coursework, bidang kajian tu kene tulis jugak ke...need your assistance...tq...
BalasPadamWaalaikumsalam Syaz.. ya - kalau pilih coursework pun kena nyatakan juga bidang kajian. Penting - i notice this masa temuduga, nampak dlm senarai nama interviewee ada juga nama bidang yg dipilih & selepas ditawarkan, universiti yg kita pilih still boleh tukar tapi bidang yg ditawarkan dah tak boleh tukar.
