Arinade, while Ulster university is not a great university(it is 51 in timesonline rankings) it is a lot better than East London uni. I don't know about getting your deposit back if you have already paid. If they don't give you back, don't despair. As I mentioned in an earlier post, just be prepared to work harder than the average person to get a job because you will find yourself in competition with other graduates from top universities. Goodluck with it. About your CV, I won't be able to tell you much even if I see it as I am no HR person. All the best!!

Could you fill me in on the HSMP thingy?
Thanks in advance

How good is University of East London cos av been offered a place there and I'ld like to know what you know bout em.

Duwizzle, University of East London is not a very good school although it might have its own strengths, overall it is not considered a top university. Look at the league tables of UK universities, it is one of the lowly ranked UK universities.

I dont know much about HSMP but I believe it is like a work permit which allows you to work for any employer in the UK. You can use the calculator(link below) to determine if you qualify, ALL THE BEST!!

Somebody,
Thanks a whole lot for your help. Cheers!

Somebody,
Please what do you know about Aston University?

Aston university is a very good university, i think it is in the top 20 and it also has a solid reputation perhaps not as solid as a few others but certainly a good school.

Hey people applying to schools in the U.K the overall list is not exactly the best guide make sure you compare universities according to the specific course you are interested in because some on the top school are rubbish in some courses and are ontop mainly because of tradition and history (some)

hey somebody, av got a masters degree inbiotechnology frm the nottingham trent university and i havent a job yet in the u.k.cud u pls help me?
Thanks

hi somebody, i'm a nigerian student and i've just with a 2.1 in marketing. I'm having problems getting a job 'cos of work permit and am seriously considering going back to nig 'cos the stress is too much. Can you help with graduate marketing jobs that help with work permit? Thanks

Hey Somebody thanks a lot again. YOu are really helpful. I see you've got a lot on ur plate but wat do you know bout University of Bolton and is it better than East London?
Cheers mate.

@ AFRICWOMAN

WHY DON'T YOU APPLY TO COMPANIES WHICH SUPPORT WORKPERMITS IN THE UK. SOME COMPANIES ASK FOR ANY DEGREE DISCIPLINE FOR A PARTICULAR PROGRAMME. EG WITH YOUR MARKETING DEGREE, YOU CAN WORK IN AN ENGINEERING PROGRAMME.

WHICH UNIVERSITY DID YOU GRADUATE FROM? AND WHICH YEAR?

omo-onile, I was actually going to say something similar to africwoman that she should not restrict her job search to marketing. However, saying she can apply for an engineering job is quite far-fetched, engineering jobs require engineering graduates.

Afrikwoman, am sure you can apply for management trainee schemes with your marketing degree. I'll see what vacancies I can find that are suitable.

I have drawn up a list of companies that take graduates that need work permits. I would try to update the list as time goes by. I groupe dthem under what I think are the more popular routes for gradautes. If your disiciple is not there, please ask and I'll see if I can find anything. Some of these companies tend to take on graduates with any degree disciplines especially the finanace companies. Goodluck to anyone trying.

Duwizzle, Bolton university is not much different from UEL in my opinion. These unis might actually be quite good but they are new comapred to the other ones which are very old and established. Below is a link for the ranking so you can see for yourself what schools are ranked better than the others. Please note that the ranking is not the only way to pick a university but it is certainly a safe way to make the right uni choice.

hi somebody,
If we have some body like u over there that can give us this little confident , i thinks we can go places, I had admission to university of bath for master in elecctrical and electronics engineering but my shortcomings is the finance , is there a way to get sponsour for this admission?I am contemplating of deferring the admission, May be i can sort for scholarship for next year, I need ur advice,

@somebody

well this is a bit off topic but here goes
my cousin is in the UK on WHM visa it will expire in december, she applied for a student visa and was refused they asked her to come back to nigeria and apply from here. she's skeptical about being given whilst in Lagos since she still wnts to stay in the UK. Coming back to Nigeria and looking for a job isn't high on her options becasue through work she's supporting her mum and siblings coupled with the fact that she has been out of school for 7 years with no post graduate degree

Any advice on companies that would give work permits? Mind you she has a first degree in Nigeria and she has been working in some credit card company whilst on the WHM visa

hi guy,nice job please keep it up.so many r benefiting from this n i bet u cant estimate ow many.culd u post vacancies in the fields of of civil engineering (structural,geotechnical,environmental and transportation engineering) and those related to it in the oil and gas.thanks.be you
