If you want to study a particular subject you must found what each university's strengths are. They specialise extremely. For example, Durham England is best in Theoretical Physics, and it was Southampton's chemistry depatment that produced 3 nobel prizewinners before it was closed down.
-
out of curiosity: why was it closed down?
-
A shortage a chemistry students
-
3 nobel prize winners are a lot, just cuz of a shortage of chemistry students they shutdown? cmon thats a bit too lame.
-
maybe, but in the uk we have maths, physics and chemistry departments shutting down all the time because they can't get enough students.
-
for studying maths what's the best university,
I might not be the best maths student, but i love the subject, i love how math works and everything.
-
Definitely cambridge. UCl, Durham and imperial are also good in england. I went to UCL
-
Hw much good Cardiff in Wales at Law ??
-
We should have a list of universities ranked by subject here. I will try and look for one.

I dnt understand all these:
1) Research assesment 2)Entry standard 3) Graduate Prospects
Astar plz explain
-
research assessment - the university is assessed for the quality of frontline research it's professors are doing and the results are published. The best reserch universities are frankly the best universities.
Entry stasndard - the grades you have to get to enter the university.
Graduate prospects - the sort of jobs that people get when they graduate and how much money they earn.

i have a question
i m plannin to do medical in uae the university offers pre-med tht is a course for 1 yr 4 months n it does not require o-levels . i wanted to noe will it be alrytt if i skip a-levels i mean i wuldn't have difficulty wen im enrollin for masters or phd
pls answer
-
another question wht is M.D. and M.D./PhD wht is the exact difference n how many yrs course is it
-
I think you would be at a disadvantage. You would not have the breadth you need for medicine if you slip a levels
-
emi's from Afganisthan but lives in Kuwait.
here in kuwait many universities accept IGs..emi look try AUK (american university of kuwait) or ACK (australian college of kuwait) or GUST or AUM..all these universities doesnt want A levels..all they need is that u have tofel in english and if u dont have they can do u an acceptance test (if u get gd marks then theres no need to do tofel)
if u need to know more just pm!

I heard that Gulf countries are very hard on afghanis

I heard that Gulf countries are very hard on afghanis
hmm thats not true!! here in kuwait,nobody is treatly differently just because of nationality!! everyone has the same privileges and are respected as if they r living in there own country.cant argue about the fact that some do give others some hard time...but this is an exception...most people dont do that!!
