Guardian UK University Ranking

This is the latest UK University Guide 2012 by Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/table/2011/may/17/university-league-table-2012 . It is interesting to note how some post 92 universities such as Oxford Brookes and Sunderland are ranked better than traditional universities such as Liverpool University and Bradford. Will give more comments on this later.

  3. Dear Sir/Madam,

    I’m Nachimani Charde, was a PhD student of University of Nottingham UK, Malaysia campus until April 2012. Pls understand one thing that any PhD viva voce exam has to be conducted within 3 months of time according to the Quality Manual of the Nottingham University UK. In my case, initially they delayed 1 year and wrongly selected the examiners. Then later they announced that the viva voce exam was invalid. As for the second time, they delayed another 1 year and 9 months. Now they are saying that the viva is unacceptable and I have to take another viva voce exam. During this confusing situation, I have reported to Prof.Christine Ennew (number 1 of Nottingham Univ. Malaysia Campus). She did not stop the exam immediately and asked me to hold on because she was discussing this matter with Vice chancellor. Eventually the Vice chancellor asked me to complete the procedures and submit the thesis but when the exam results came out; they again say it is invalid. This is what makes me unhappy and I sent several emails to Vice Chancellor but no reply. So I bring this matter to social media and also to MOHE. I want to know why the Vice Chancellor asked me to submit my thesis and the exam out is against his decision? When I checked with external examiner who examines me, she said that she has approved the amendment and I passed the exam. Why there is conflict in this matter? I want answers for this situation from vice Chancellor, until then I will keep all my 5 web pages and 5 blog alive in internet. Actually it is Nottingham University UK, Malaysia campus has different PhD procedure than the UK one. So they are not procedurally same and practicing dual standards.

    The following link shows the PhD exam procedure of Nottingham University UK.

    However, this link shows the PhD exam procedure of Nottingham University UK, Malaysia campus (UNMC), only for Faculty of Engineering.

    Why there is double standard ? is the UNMC guide for PhD exam procedure approved by Nottingham University UK senate? The answer is no. That’s why I fighting against them now. I have published 20 journal papers and three times written my thesis but still the exam is invalid!

  4. Incredible read! Personal statement readiness can be extremely hard and unpleasant with no legitimate guide, especially when you are looking at for situation in the best colleges. You can get help for personal statement checker to improve your personal statement so yours emerge from the group.
