No nothing....I've talked with a friend that is taking his PhD at Cranfield and he said that since we're from Portugal, we have to submit quite early so that they can check all the equivelances between the portuguese univer. system and the british....what I know is that finishing a degree in Portugal is the equivelant of a Masters with honours in the UK....cause we're not Bachelours...we're slightly above...but in the UK our "grade" doesn't exist.....here in Portugal we have 5 year degrees instead of the 3 BAchelour years in the UK.....

Just know I have to pay 4400€ for tuition....

I am thinking about an MSC course too. Why would you choose Cranfield
instead of the other universities? (There are motorsport courses at Kingston,Leeds, Oxford Brookes and thre must be others too)
Is it true that applying two years earlier is neccessary?

I pay 400 bucks a quarter for classes, and then before that it used to be free

Monstrobolaxa · Post 19 Mar 2005, 18:16

But are those 400 bucks for a masters or for a degree in something?

The 4400€ is the tuition for the masters degree...

Conserning the other post....well I've never heard about applying 2 years in advance! Why Cranfield...it's one of the most know aeronautics university (in the world)....along side Southampton and Imperial....and I haven't found any other university with a Masters degree specially dedicated to Racecar Engineering and MAnagement.....there are a few other giving a bachelours degree in Motorsport Engineering!

400 dollars a qtr for a BS... i get 1000 bucks off each qtr since my dad was in teh US Navy... but then it used to be free (since classes were 800 dollars/qtr for freshman year). But since Arnold cut budgets for the UC system... its still quite a lot, actually

Becker4 · Post 22 Mar 2005, 09:57

yeah, those budget cuts are raising my tuition costs by about 300 bucks a year . . . . Goddamn california budget. monstro, my degree is a 5 year also, but it is for architecture, not engineering.

oh, and west, i was in irvine tonight eating dinner at a nice chinese restaurant in the irvine spectrum (i think thats what its called) i believe the name of the place was P.F. Chengs, i wonder if youve heard of it?

Yeah, it's an upper class Chinese Bistro (IMO)... it's P.F. Chang's, not Chengs (sorry). I went to the one in San Diego (in La Jolla, near UTC). I've only been there once... it's alright, if you like Californian-style chinese food.

Monstrobolaxa · Post 22 Mar 2005, 17:08

Tuition here in Portugal 3 years ago was around 500 dollars....now it's around 1100.....Portugal is going through a very bad recession....so prices have gone up!

ok thanks i thought i had the name wrong . . . . i dont know chinese food that well, so i have no place to say if it was authentic or not, but i thought it tasted good

If you want "real" chinese food, you gotta go to the grade B places, like in Rowland Heights... haha

Or if ur daring, go to Los Angeles for Grade C.
