Can't say for sure, but if your name is entered twice on the university entrance clearing computer it might cause problems.
Go where your heart says, and look how the school performs or gains jobs in YOUR SUBJECT not overall.

Okay but apart from the fees still consider the school that will benefit you like what worry357 said.I was in your shoes before(confusion) after I had four offers I was confused with coventry and university of east anglia but I used graduate prospect and ranking in my discipline/subject to make up my mind.But follow your heart if its the fees you are considering its fine

Ranking matters but if Sheffield Hallam University gives you that generous discount then go for it, you will need that money badly, work hard and get good result that will compensate for the ranking in some ways.

Ranking changes, Coventry is ranked 15 in one website while the other one ranked the same university 45, if they are not giving you good discount then go for Sheffield Hallam University.

Number of foreign students coming to the UK now has reduced so schools has to give discounts or other stuff to attract foreign students.

Nothing wrong with that at all, but if you have made part-payment then you will not get all the money back.

@ jnrbanks, tuition at SHU should be £11,500 witg your £3,000 discount you pay £8,500. At Coventry, you'll be paying around £9,000. So tuition-wise, both schools are giving you the sane deal.
Consider @worry357 job prospects and @precioustones module peculiarities and your interests.

That must be a recent development. Then if I were in your shoes @jnrbanks, I'll put more consideration on SHU offering that tuition discount. That difference mehn, is no beans.

I know what you mean but certain schools will struggle to hold high ranking position considering the fact that other website ranked the same school lower.
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by jnrbanks: 10:53pm On Jun 08, 2015
@naijamark, yea u all are on point... am still doing a thorough check in terms of job prospects and der individual modules.

BUT about d tuition fee.... Coventry is £11453 and Sheffield is £11900. so with d discount I should be paying £8900 at shu instead. so u see d difference now.

but either way I'd try not to let d NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN THOUSAND NAIRA discount overshadow my decision grin

Hi folks,

Pls. with the BVN expiry slated for the end of June and for those of us who started our programme last year. Obviously, the expiry would affect peeps like me who has money in my account. The problem now is transferring the money to my UK account at least the much that i'm going to need before my programme rounds off. Considering the limit on the amount of withdrawals per day, the killing exchange rates and the transaction charges. Does anyone has a better way to transfer this money to my UK account? I recently found out about this TransferWise website but they don't have from Nigeria to UK yet but the reverse is possible. I'm also thinking Western Union but I haven't looked at it yet...Does anyone has a better suggestion for me?

Thanks!
