DMainMan: You can receive a 50% tuition scholarship, but you must apply, and the minimum requirement is a 2.1. However, there is an automatic discount of £1,000 for a 2.1 and £2,000 for a First Class degree. https://www.hope.ac.uk/international/feesandscholarships/scholarships/ |

Anfieldboss: 1. The cost of pursuing a PhD in the UK is extremely high. Unlike in the USA and Canada, UK universities do not typically offer scholarships to international students. As a result, you would have to spend over £50,000 for your tuition fees. You will still need to consider accommodation and living expenses. It is not advisable to pursue a PhD without a scholarship, as over 90% of PhD students in the UK are funded through scholarships. 2. A more realistic option for you is for your wife to pursue a Master's degree. I recommend encouraging her to apply for a Master's program now, which would allow you to work full-time as her dependent. It is advisable to aim for admission in September, as it is likely that dependent visas will no longer be available starting from January 2024. 3. The exact fees vary depending on factors such as the university tuition, location, and whether it is in London or outside. To get accurate information, you will need to conduct thorough research. I strongly advise against pursuing a PhD unless you secure a full scholarship. Instead, suggest to your wife to consider pursuing a Master's in Education (MEd) or a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) incorporated into the program. Teaching is in high demand in the UK, which is why certified teachers from Nigeria are currently sought after. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-qualified-teacher-status-qts-if-you-teach-outside-the-uk/routes-to-qualified-teacher-status-qts-for-teachers-and-those-with-teaching-experience-outside-the-uk https://apply-for-qts-in-england.education.gov.uk/eligibility/start Best of luck. 6 Likes |

Observer25: There are several schools that offer tuition fees ranging from £7,500 to £11,000 after automatic discounts, particularly if you have achieved a second class upper or first class degree. To cover your living expenses, you can budget for £500 per month, with £300 for shared student accommodation that includes bills, and £200 for food and other expenses (note that you will need to cook). You can see a one-way plane ticket that costs around £500, as a ticket priced at £5,000 is considered excessively expensive. In general, obtaining a work visa is a better option as it includes the opportunity for permanent residence for 5 years. 2 Likes |

Impactever: 1. PTDF will pay your tuition fees directly to the school. There is usually a discount offered by the listed UK schools in the scholarship portal. No flat rate. PTDF pays whatever fees in the listed UK school invoice. 2. PTDF will organise your flight but will give you stipends directly. Dont focus on all these. Try to put your energy on your scholarship application and interview. You must obtain admission by yourself. 1 Like |

[quote author=hollumiezeez post=120851689][/quote] I think Sheffield Hallam uni, University of South Wales, Roehampton Uni, Robert Gordon Uni and Ulster University Birmingham might consider HND and Third class for direct Masters admission provided you have adequate experience in the proposed field of study. 1 Like |

ignis: Hi Ignis. Glad you are in the UK. I recall all those days on Nairaland. For general information and requirements about Skilled Worker Visa: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa Costs depend on whether you are in UK, outside UK or your job is on the shortage list: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/how-much-it-costs For English test: You don't need any English test since you had already demonstrated proof of English in your Student visa application. The visa application will inquire if you had previously provided evidence of English proficiency in a previous visa application. You will be asked; Have you provided evidence of your English language ability in a previous application? Select Yes |

akinsolaoyelola: If you can tell your referee not to include salary, that will be OK. That salary is too small and it is suspicious as it may demonstrate your financial status is not genuine. The most important thing in employment reference letter is the company name, your position, job role, duration of employment with the company and your performance. 3 Likes 1 Share

jamesy212: IFSHR: I used "to be" to imply something planned in the future. If I had used "will be" or "would be" then that is misrepresentation as it denotes certainty. However, it is nice you guys pointed this out as it leads to ambiguity. Hence, I have edited it to "could be" for exactness. |
