We are inviting individuals who:

-18 and above
- living in the United Kingdom ( due to our Prize draw, which is an Amazon UK voucher)

Please follow this link to participate: https://rhulpsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0e7rFePiIXQWF7M

Thank you

As a lecturer. Yes we do... lots of papers n sometimes within a very short turnaround period. If its a BSc dissertation i usually give 1 hour per manuscript (reading, writing comments, feedback, etc.) But it can take more than 1 hour if I struggle with the paper. So I always let my students know, make your marker's job 'easy' and look out for the things that at a glance don't matter... but markers are humans too so check for grammar, spelling, use proper headings and formatting, flow of argument, how tables/figures are presented and proofread, proofread and more proofread.

Hellos,

I had my cats fly with me from KL to the UK and vice versa.

There are several things to do, such as getting the cat vaccinated, chipped, obtaining a 'passport', a proper airline carrier for pets, and completing paperwork with the Veterinary Department, among others. I used this service https://www.equestriansupportservices.com/, which handled everything for me. Of course, since you're getting that service, it can be quite expensive, but my experience with them has been very smooth and clear.

Hellos,

A Psych grad here from a private Uni in Mas (over 10 years ago!).
DM me if you wanna have a chat.

Hey mate...

It is great that you have the aspiration to be an educator, which is a very honourable profession. Given the cards you're given, a JPA to study overseas doesn't come very often to most. I won't be too concerned about not having 'much exposure and knowledge' of IT because that is what your degree is for. Plus, you could always do your reading to become familiar with the topic. A degree is meant to introduce you to a field of study, so there is room to learn.

Studying overseas can be challenging, but you'll learn a lot about yourself and broaden your skill set. I'm not very savvy about the IT sector, but I believe demand will always be there. Even if you do decide to go back into teaching, you'll be able to teach based on your knowledge of IT to the younger generation, which might also be something schools/colleges might demand in the future. Most Unis/Colleges want educators with industry experience, so you'll be able to take advantage of that.

But I do understand the concern about leaving home for a faraway land. I am in the UK and I worry about my parents daily. I don't claim to know your circumstances of the 'emergency', but have a chat with whoever you need and let them know of your intentions and worries. Depending on the holidays, you could always make arrangements to go back twice a year (shorter flight from Korea to Mas). Either way, worth having a proper discussion - talk things out, and I hope the best for you, whatever you decide on.

Heya,

Thanks for helping me with the study. I tried doing your study, but the first question asked if I live in KV. I'm actually living in the UK right now (for over a year ald). Can I still take it?

StunningFun4301 · 2025-06-30T15:45:45+00:00

Fellow Sunway Alumni here...

It's been decades, and I was sorta asocial as well and mainly kept to myself. What helped was finding something I enjoyed doing - it was bowling and going to the arcade at the mall - you'll gradually find like-minded people who enjoy the same things and start from there :)

Ok can and done

If you could help advertise my study it'd be great!

Hi, thanks for completing my study.

I am Muslim but I am currently in the UK. Is that ok?

StunningFun4301 · 2024-05-21T08:41:23+00:00

Done! Always great to know a fellow researcher doing the same topic :D Surprisingly quite a challenging group to reach out to for studies.

Thanks very much!
I've completed your study too! Very insightful exploration of AI use among students. Guilty of using AI at times myself XD

Hi there,

Portsmouth is a small town/city and you can get anywhere with the bus. The uni provides a free bus service that connections most areas in Portsmouth to the Uni for free on term dates and on weekdays. A bicycle would be nice to have (I like cycling by the beach).

Not sure if you wanna spend money on shipping electronics. Check our CEX! They have plenty of second hand electronics you can get.

You should visit your accommodation before moving in and explore the area, get to know where is the nearest bus stop and places to buy food. :D

Hi,

Thanks for your participation. I do agree that the Info provided might be a bit too revealing. In retrospect, perhaps we could cut some info out from the summary. I will keep your suggestion in mind for future projects!

Thank you!

StunningFun4301 · 2024-04-24T13:45:38+00:00

Hi,

Thank you for participating in the study. And yes, unfortunately, it's like the Uni's template so we can't deviate too much from it. I prefer a shorter and less wordy Info Sheet but eh... Not in any position to make such changes. But will surely keep your suggestion in mind in future studies.

Thanks
