Nottingham Malaysian campus

Does anyone study there and could give a bit of info about life over there. I'd like to study somewhere warm, it's a perfect place. Their website hosts very little info compared to UK campus. Aren't there any scholarships?

I've already emailed them with bunch of questions. 3 days have passed and still no response. I can't call them because times zones are different and I only call the when it's 3 AM to 10 AM. There is very little info an their website, but I have one very important question: What about actual teaching and research? In their prospectus there's a sentence about professional recognition "Many of our courses are taught at The University of Nottingham in the UK are accredited by professional bodies. However, this may not be the case for courses taught in Malaysia and you should contact the relevant faculty for more information." Does this mean that I get the same diploma, but it will not be as valuable as one in the UK?

Here's the list of questions I've sent to them. I hope someone here can answer at least few of them:
1. Wen do admissions for 2013 September courses start and when is the deadline?
2. Are there any scholarships for international students other than that excellence award?
3. Can I apply to UNMC finish my first year int here and last two in your other campuses or partner Universities?
4. If I spend my second/third year on your UK campus, can I get an UK tuition loan?
5. Is on-campus accommodation guaranteed for first year students?
6. What about the weather? How much does it rain?
7. How much do I have to when spending a year abroad?
8. In your prospectus is said: " Many of our courses taught at The University of Nottingham in the UK are accredited by professional bodies. However, this may not be the case for courses taught in Malaysia and you should contact the relevant faculty for more information.'' Does this mean that after I graduate, I'll get the same diploma as UK students, but it will not be as recognized as the other one?
9. Why are entry requirements lower in UNMC? Is quality of research and teaching lower in your campus?
10. Do your lecturers mostly come from UK?
11. What about the computing facilities? Are computers up to date?
12. Are there a lot of European students?
13. What are requirements for Lithuanian students? I'd like to study BSc Computer Science which requires A-levels of BCC.
14. Can I take IELTS exam after I get your offer? Or does it have to be already taken prior to applying?
15. Do you even give out offer? Or is it a whole different system from UCAS?


I know, there are awfully lot of questions, but I hope you understand that this is very important for me.

Everything about an application process you can find on University of Nottingham website. As far as I know, there is a different applicants portal, not UCAS. I am not sure how it is in Malaysia campus, but in China Ningbo campus it is possible to do 1st and 2nd years in China and next two in the UK. Btw, 1st year is like a foundation year for Chinese, who are not good at English. I think a similar system should be in Malaysia as well. You can apply for an exchange semester/year either in UK or China campuses or in one of the university's partners.
I think the quality of teaching should be similar as it is in the UK campus.. maybe a bit lower. But there are some British tutors , so it shouldn't be worse. European students should mainly be exchange students, who usually come there for one semester or the year.
If requirements are BCC for A levels, it shouldn't be very high for Lithuanian qualification. I believe no more than 60-70% in Brandos atestatas. You can take IELTS whenever you want before August or September.
