After struggling for few weeks, check and rethink again. Finally I have decided to pursue my study in Glasgow University (格拉斯哥大学), Scotland, UK. Why i wanna study in UK..haha..tell u guys nxt time in my future post (after I graduate from my postgrad). This is one of the world's top 100 universities, with RAE score of 5, and founded in 1451. This is the 4th oldest university in the UK and one of the top 10 oldest universities in the world. I will pursue MRes in Plant Science under the Faculty of Biomedical and Life Sciences School (生物及生命科学学院).
overview of the main campus
Below are some pictures to share, as part of my offer package received recently:-
According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Glasgow), it sounds like nice, looks like nice, but not sure is nice or not la...haha..Hopefully, I am making a good and correct decision.
However, the are still uncertainties that might happen, cos things might not alway happen as expected ma. Some more, I still have to satisfy the academic requirements before I can secure a place there. Haih, God Bless CK lo. Also, I have to settle the funding matters, i.e. secure scholarship, settle education loan matters..and bla bla..Busy blindly. Some ppl might think my parents will sponsor my study over there. This is certainly not true la! Since my first degree, I have started to find out ways to fund my study. So, Hope tis piece of information, can gv some clarification to my fellow my friends, so that you guys won't mislead by false info lol....:-)
Will publish a new post again to inform my final and definite decision, once I have satisfied all the conditions attached. Thanks Dr. LOO and Dr. TEE for your guidance given.
on 16 may 2008, at 9pm. finally i have received all the offers for my postgraduate applications. Like now have to look the details of the offer, and eventually hope I can make a good decision, as this is a long term investment. For those who are interested to study abroad, somethings that i would like to share (in my humble opinion), I think the following matters have to be considered . -accreditation -career opportunity -academic strength (teaching and research) -accommodation -tuition fee status, funding, -location, living costs, -etc.
there are a lot of factors have to concern too, but eventually you will be able to find out more when you are looking serious in this matter and also via proper planning.
cheers.
hopefully, i can make up a decision where i suppose to go asap...
