Study Economics in monash or nottingham?

derrich — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 18:07:22 +0800

Based on my research, Monash has higher ranking comparing to Nottingham by subject of economics which I take it as an advantage for my future job.But there are some questions to doubt it.

1)About quality the economics degree
I figured out that if study at monash, the degree that I will be getting is bachelor of commerce(Econ.). But at Nottingham, the degree I will be getting will be named Bsc(Hon) of Economics.
I understood that I need to study a common core subject on my first year at monash like other commerce students (marketing,finance etc.)do. Then the second year
only specialized on my major which is Econ and same goes to third year.Meaning that I only study pure Econ for 2 years which I have been concerning for as if study at Nottingham, I will just start my Major at the first year. So, will it be affected the quality of my degree? What I'm worrying is people will see the degree as a business major instead of economics major.

2)Honors
I been trying to figure it out at lowyat and I have found a number of topics for it but I'm still confused with it.
Can somebody answer me the UK business hons degree is the same for AUS commerce degree without hons?cause I don't want to study one more year just to get a hons in my degree.

3)Exchange program
For Monash there is much more options to exchange to all over the countries like U.S.( Michigan state university,purdue university etc), U.K.( King college london,warrick or even nottingham campus) and more Top uni can get in to. I'm really interested to study abroad so I take it as my concern also. I have no friend who study at monash so I wonder is that really possible to get exchange from monash malaysia campus?

For Nottingham, it's hard to get exchange or even transfer to nottingham campus itself. That was my friend told me who studying engineer but I'm not sure it is same goes to economics school.Well, I'm cool to go nottingham uk but what I scared I could't go uk when I enrolled there.

Any students from Monash or nottingham are welcomed to leave a comment to share their experience about the campus environment. I need to decide by next few weeks cause I have to enrol it by september or october.

Thank you very much friends from lowyat.net

Is it ok using local degree to apply oversea MBA?

derrich — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:38:52 +0800

I just finished my foundation program, which only recognized by most local private uni. But then I found out that oversea exposure is an important aspect for a student, since there is no way for me to go to degree at oversea, so I wanted my master doing at oversea. My questions are,
1)Are there any restrictions if I using my SUNWAY Accounting and finance degree to apply MBA ?
2)Is it okay using my accounting and finance degree to apply MBA? or they only allowed to apply in Business Admin?
3)Is it possible using my local degree get into a prestigious Uni?like Warwick or LSE.

The reason I choose Accounting and finance is because B.A. is too general that's what I heard from my senior, and I wanted to be specialize in my degree. Thank you.

I'm looking for an ultrabook

derrich — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 18:40:37 +0800

I'm looking for an ultrabook, which price below 4000, at least i5 processor AND 256SSD.

so, with that pricing of XPS13 Yoga 910 is definitely out of my choice.

I have done some research on low price ultra book.Eventually, I've found out Asus UX330 and Acer swift3

Asus UX330 has 256 ssd i5 processor and 8 Gb ram swift 3 has the same spec but 4GB ram and lower price.

It's quite hard to find review on swift3 and their performance,

it's really hard to decide because these 2 machines prices was huge vary on price over RM1000

So Im wondering the quality , battery life of swift 3. And any suggestion on these 2 machines or any laptops? Thanks!

Hello guys, I'm just took my SPM result.And now I'm interested in investment and stock market,so,lots of counselor from different Uni had advised me to take a finance or a finance and investment degree.(Actually my first thought is to study economic) The problem is which uni is really good in finance? I was really in torn of a number of different uni.Hence, I need your precious advice here.

2)HELP UNI
3)UCSI
4)UTAR
5) KTAR
6)SUNWAY UNI
7)MMU

As I'm come from a family based on chinese speaking, I really hope that my uni has a good environment for me to improve my english. Becuz my parents really have no time to take my around to those uni, so I really wonder how the environment there.

BTW,did you guys heard CFA before?It seems like a lots of benefit if sit on that exam for finance profession.Is it real?
And I heard if want to be a great investor, one should know in accounting in order to do analysis on company's annual report. Is it real too?because I'm science stream student and haven't taking Account on my SPM. I afraid that will affected my career on my future.
