Very expensive to live in Uk especially for students, Op ur right but there are jobs but they cant work over certain hours on student visa.. Laws changing in the Uk if ur a bristish passport holder then its a bit better ... Best place to study theses days is Canada..... |

Ekpekus: I share your sentiment....but the issue is....our universities are seriously underfunded. And thanks to the drop in oil prices....funding is set to fall further. Then we do not have enough lecturers, enough facilities.....and you see the problem. Which means....if you want to get an edge in the Nigerian job market....go and get a foreign degree...because that Nigerian degree may put you at an disadvantage. 2 Likes |

greenhouse2012 : To make a blanket statement that there are no jobs is simply not true. There are jobs for those with the right mindset. The unemployment rate is a combination of different factors. A visit to some job boards will show you that there are tens of thousands of jobs. I know for a fact that the big four each have over 1000 vacancies which they struggle to fill each year. One of the reasons foreign student don’t get jobs after graduation is because in their minds “there are no jobs”. You are right that the UK government are tightening immigration rules. There are however about 20000 tier 2 visa places every year. Are you aware that the places remained unfilled for the past few years? You have about 18 months to look for a job in the UK. The mistake most people make is that they wait till they finish their program before looking for jobs. The UK system doesn’t work that way. You start looking for a job when you commence your program (I am assuming a masters degree program). Most big companies complete their recruitment process for September start around February (Just when you start your second semester). The key is applying early as most companies operate on a “first come first served basis”. The visa and the school fees are high but the standard of education is high. Discrimination, just like everywhere else in the world. I believe everyone leaving his country to study elsewhere should have a purpose which usually is to be a better person. If the cost to you is not commensurate with the benefits, look elsewhere. NB: I am talking from experience. 9 Likes |

There are good private universities in Nigeria. No need to break your neck to go to the UK, especially for undergrad. Cost of living, cost of tuition, low standard of living, appalling climate and peculiar cultural habits (the obsession with drinking in particular) will have you pining for home, or anywhere else. 2 Likes |

Well the article has many valid points which are quite correct.However,I have many friends who have got jobs after their degree in the UK.The reasons are not far fetched.YOU HAVE TO RAISE YOUR GAME;Seek the right information,work on yourself to be the best you can be,use your spare time wisely and get good grades.A UK degree is qualitative and highly respected worldwide. 8 Likes |

All your points made are points for someone not determined, no dream and outright not ambitious. The only point for not going to school in the UK is if you count the financial cost and look at there is no way your parents or you have the funds. But honestly speaking UK education is worth it. Don't dissuade Nigerian youth seeking quality higher education at the right time. 9 Likes |

Samoalfred: Good point, If you want to succeed in the UK after studies you really have to be the best of the best as job interview process can sometimes be rigorous. I had to go through different stages of Interview over 6 months to be able to get the Job I desire and the company where more than happy to push through all necessary documents for me to get a work permit which luckily I did. Educational standard in the UK is much more advance than Nigeria.Load of Nigeria Students come here with the intention of just studying but not committing to what they want to achieve. No matter what people say Education in the UK is much more better than Education in Nigeria..If your intentions is to come here and study do that and after go back if your intentions is to live after studies then work hard and you will surely achieve. 7 Likes |

the truth is if one has to go the uk to spend all that money schooling with the intent to get a lucrative job here in nigeria after return,then one has to master thee act of passing the onerous SHL and DRAgnet aptitude test...Becaause no matter how much knowledge you have acquired and ready to input in an organization you need to pass those annoying tests else you go defunct with your acquired skills.. in all nigeria is a shit hole as regards being gainfully employed after much studies in school. 1 Like 1 Share |
