Studying in the UK (5.5) - International Students Don't Have Sufficient English Skills (BBC)

Posted by natee , Reader : 2228 , 11:09:20 | Category : Studying in the UK

I have implied this several times in my blogs on studying in the UK, but this half a blog is to promote a very interesting BBC story on how a lecturer has come out to say that most international students do not have sufficient English language skills to go on an UK postgrad course. This is a rampant problem in the UK and probably one of the worst kept secrets among academic circles within the UK. I'm....

Studying in the UK (5) – Scholarships, and Facts You Didnt Know

Posted by natee , Reader : 1481 , 12:39:49 | Category : Studying in the UK

“So are you applying for the scholarship?” a friend of mine asked over MSN. Slightly confused I asked her which scholarship she was talking about. After a few minutes I found out that applications for a doctorate scholarship in European Studies had been announced by the Office of Civil Service Commission. The deadline was within three days and if this friend hadn’t told me about it, I would have miss....

Democratic Party = Disillusionment

Posted by natee , Reader : 1349 , 21:08:28 | Category : General Interest

Christmas Day in England. What a lovely day to become disillusioned, yet AGAIN, by the Democratic Party. The self proclaimed 'gentle' people of Thai politics have failed their supporters yet again by acting like the stumbling, mumbling, and fumbling dinosaurs. Given the otherwise unlikely opportunity to rise from the dead by last year's coup, they have miserably failed to capitalise on the opportunit....

Published on September 12, 2007Watching the analysis made in Thailand about the EU's desire to monitor our elect....

Thai Names, Thai-ness and the Necessity of Conservatism

Posted by natee , Reader : 1064 , 10:12:25 | Category : General Interest

I was once a very liberal Thai person, but as I grow older, I suddenly feel that there’s no need to be liberal, for Thais are liberal enough. This is why I find myself suddenly siding with people I once considered dinosaurs. Perhaps, wisdom does come with age and the so-called dinosaurs at the Culture Ministry might be wiser than we think, after all.Even after reading a brilliantly argued article on ....
