Bandar Seri Begawan - Representatives from the University of Bristol will be in Brunei Darussalam to meet prospective students this month. Interested parties can visit the James Hon Marketing and Management exhibition and interact with the university representatives from 11 am to 7pm, 4th floor at the Mall on Friday, Feb 8.

Bristol will also be available at JHMM's headquarters in Kiulap to interview prospective students on Saturday, Feb 9 from 1pm to 3pm.

With history dating back to the late 1800's, the University of Bristol has always been one of UK's most prestigious universities with a reputation for being one of Britain's academic powerhouses, according to JHMM.

The university forms an integral part of the City of Bristol — a city with thousands of years of history — with a population of about 450,000, the city boasts a vibrant social scene.

The university's state of the art architecture defines the city's skyline, giving the impression that the city is one huge university campus, said student consultant Delon Hon.

"The city also has its own international airport and also offers easy rail and road links to London and other parts of the UK, making it very accessible for prospective students.

"Bristol has always been one of the UK's leading research universities with their research achievements matching the best international standards. According to the latest independent Research Assessment Exercise, 36 of the university's departments were awarded five stars out of five, placing Bristol firmly in the top four in the UK for top rated research departments.

"The university currently welcomes some 2,000 international students from over 100 countries.

"On average, there are about 11 applicants applying for a single place at Bristol, which makes it one of the most popular universities in the UK. With Bristol's world ranking approaching top 30, competition for a place at the university will only intensify.

"The university organises its academic affairs in six faculties; Arts, Engineering, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, Medicine and Dentistry, Science and Social Sciences and Law.

"Seventy-six per cent of all academic staff work in departments which are rated world class or internationally excellent for research. The university is a member of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) as well as the Russell Group of research intensive universities.

"The University of Bristol has recently been ranked top eight by the 2008 Times University Guide," he said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
