Agiemars: Please,wat do u guyz think of anglia ruskin university,peterborough,uk? Anglia ruskin, their rating is very poor. If it's about location, you can chose essex uni. |

adaobi123: what evidence have u got to prove this |

spikes C: sometimes its not all about the general rating, Check specific rating that has to do with ur field of study. |

Agiemars: Please,wat do u guyz think of anglia ruskin university,peterborough,uk? I wd advice u to look for a better uni, der are soooo many out der dt wd b glad to hv a qualified intl student enroll with them so don't feel too excited that dy gave u an offer, if u hv the qualifications u can b almost 100% sure to get an offer from better schools. Not like the the school is bad, am sure by Nija standards it is even wonderful  but by UK standards its rating is rather poor. If u are thinking of settling in the UK pls scratch dt Uni cos those UK ppl no de play with their rankings...1 Like |

miz Gene: I kinda agree with you but not always, i know peeps that went to not so highly ranked uni and they got good jobs. Going to a good uni is probably just one of the many factors in landing a good job in the UK. |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by mizGene(f): 2:56pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
mayo47: Well definitely school ranking cn never b d only factor but at least we hv agreed if is a factor. So isn't it better to look for a better ranked school b4 settling for less? Like I hv said b4, these schools are looking/infact hunting for intl students, both to boost their profile and for d massive fees we pay.so if some1 needs to make a choice, dy (d intl stdnt) shd always go for d best dt they can get. We are all studying just to hv an edge in d job market so if d school u attended can give u an edge then why shdnt it be considered when applying? |

I dont know how international school ranking works when it comes to getting a job in naija [apart from the obviously popular one] No hard or fast rule Outside of Finance, Business consulting...... so many factors come into play- location, skills, experience, personality etc etc |

adaobi123:I def seen dis a million times but not enough to prove its "far better" than salford...  |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 3:54pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
mayo47: So you think Salford is better than Coventry ?   |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 3:56pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
adaobi123: Would u please answer my question |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 3:58pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
irun-obo: I dont know. It depends on the university you are applying to. Not all universities do interviews. |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by mayo47(m): 3:59pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
adaobi123: Lol well i neva said dat. I just wanted i to justify ur "far better" statement |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by coogar: 4:06pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
adaobi123: the list is dodgy - salford is better than coventry. coventry was a polytechnic up until 1992 & their endowment is a measly £1.5m salford on the other hand gained university status as far back as the mid 60s & about £7m endowment. even the last RAE ranking placed salford ahead of coventry. the 2 schools are nothing to write home about though but if pushed, salford is better than coventry. |

Agiemars: thanks dear,i want 2 study sociology. You r welcome. Pls my dear 2014 Sept is a Looong way off. Don't settle for dt Uni yet until u hv done some gd research on the Uni strength in ur area of study.after dt, if u feel dy r good enuf then u can go ahead. Generally speaking, It's like choosing Imo state University over Unilag or Ife or UI. (pardon me Imo stars,but truth must b told  ) but on the other hand, Imo state University has very strong /good Law faculty so in dt instance it is Ok to choose it. |

miz Gene: Yeah i get u one should always aim for the best, going to a top uni is not cheap and that's it. The sacrifice going to a top uni is the high fees & if u aiint got that. Just go to what ur money got to offer and if u put in your best, you surely get the returns. If u can afford any of the top 20 fees den sure good. If not you just try go to a decent uni where the fees are ok, do your best and develop yourself professional wise. This days not all about academic achievement in labour market.i tell anyone if u cant go to any top 20 uni, you can go to the others but not any last 10 ranked uni. 1 Like |

irun-obo:If u mean for visa, answer is Yes, If u mean for admission then I can't b certain, i can only say that most schools don't except for MBA applicants to the top MBA schools. Infact even most of the biz schools don't bother with it. |

Chei ! Kcl invited me to an interview. The lord is my shepherd  |

mayo47:Well yes u do have a point.I wasn't specifically referring to the top 20 Uni sha, just a good Uni esp in her area of study.I was just trying to make sure dt she makes a good effort to get a better Uni. Esp since September intakes hv all the schools to choose from and therefore hv more scholarship opportunities open to them.... 1 Like |

coogar: That RAE thing. Wasn't it published in 2008 ? Times have changed.  |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by coogar: 5:44pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
adaobi123: they publish it every 5 years. i am not sure they have published the one due for this year yet but not more could have changed in the last 5 years. salford still get more funds from the government than coventry & that's the key indicator in choosing these schools. |
