Hi!
I'm still deciding where I want to study, I was wondering if HELP Subang 2 Campus was advancing in the project?
Where have the constructions reached?
Do you have any information on when the official opening will me?

Also, concerning the BA in Psychology courses, how many hours per day are there classes and how many hours do you study per week?

Thank you so much!

Can I study a BA in Psychology in HELP University in Malaysia and then go to University of Manchester to study a MSc or MA in the Psychology department?
What is more valued? a BA or a BSc? a MA or a MSc?
Can somebody please explain to me the difference between the two?

And above all!
Is it possible to study BA in a Malaysian University and go Master studies in the UK directly after? Or do i have to take another course?
What I mean in other words is; is a BA from HELP University equivalent to a BSc/BA from a UK University?

About Malaysian Universities and Lancaster?

Good evening everybody!
I really need some more information about some universities in Malaysia.
I am planning on studying there merely because the tuition cost and cost of living is quite low and I don't want to use all of my parent's money all on me. I want to do my Degrees and Masters.
I am planning on doing degrees in Malaysia and Masters in UK.
I was looking for UK-based/programs in universities and so far i narrowed it to:
Sunway University affiliated with University of Lancaster
Nottingham University

There are only two universities which would make it easier for me to get a place in a UK uni for my Masters.
I don't want to go to Nottingham merely because I am an extrovert person and I know for sure that i won't be able to cope with all the silence in this area.

Thus I stand face to face with Sunway.
The fees are good, accomodations good, great swimming pool, in the city, near civilisation = GOOD
When graduate from Sunway, students get 2 certificates; one from Sunway University and one from Lancaster University.
This seems too good to be true??

I want to know if Lancaster University Certificate is valued worldwide? Or just, is it valued in the UK?
Is it better than a Nottingham University?

Are there any students who studied psychology at Sunway?
Even if not, do you guys recommend me to study at Sunway?
Are the lecturers good? How is the atmosphere there? Are the students friendly? Most of all... Will I be able to hold a very interesting conversation in English there? (No offence, but I browsed the board for a while and some of you said that Sunway students are not very good in English?)

Any kind of information about Sunway or Nottingham or Lancaster University or Psychology in general would be highly appreciated!

I am so stressed out, I even started taking private tuitions for O'Level in Biology which i will be sitting at the end of this year, along with my A'Levels, purely because Sunway University requires a science O'Level and I chose Biology as i think it will help me most in this course.

Please help me, i don't want to make a mistake, I spent 7 years in a high school which i hate and I don't want to make the same mistake again... (I went to the high school because my parents wanted me to, but since they are giving me the choice to choose which University I want to go, I don't want to deceive them and say; "I hate this University and you wasted your money on me!" )

Sincerely, ArBell.
