Yes people need to be enlightened but do it without misinforming them.

You and saouri are being disingenuous just because it did not workout for you.

1. You can still work in the UK after graduation through Tier 2 work program IF you have what it takes, nobody gives you a job just because if you have shinning pieces of certificate, even in Nigeria getting a job is hard after graduation.

2. This is the bit that got me nut..before you apply to study in the UK you knew that getting a job is hard, you knew that the fees are high, you knew that you have 4months to stay after graduation BUT STILL you went ahead to invest your millions of naira expecting miracle.

The UK govt never promised you automatic job position after graduation so why are you here moaning about injustice done to you?

This is the case of mental laziness and this attitude of entitlement, if you have done your homework before applying to study in the UK you would have known that..

1. Getting a job in the UK after graduation as a foreign student is hard and competitive because British and EU graduated will be priorities first.

2. You need to study a course that is in demand and listed in occupational shortlist https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-k-shortage-occupation-list, that increases your chances of getting a job.

3. If you graduated from low ranked university your chances of getting a job with that qualification is slimmer, this is the problem with many foreign students because low ranked universities are cheaper and easier to get admission into.

No please go to Ireland. You will get two years post study and if your field is STEM, you can get a job hen move to Canada after two years, if you wish. Ireland is opening it borders now Cos it wants to improve its economy like the UK did. So take advantage of it before they shut it down too

saouri:
Apart from EU & UK citizens, American students get preferential treatment as well.
South African students, Kenyan students, Jamaican students and even Zimbabweans get these jobs at a higher rate than Nigerians...

I am talking about my former classmates here who have lesser experience and in some cases even lower grades...

There is discrimination against Nigerians.
This thread is not about entitlement!!!

We are directing those who have ears towards better paths. Simple!

Yes that is why you should read read and read then PLAN!!! before you invest your money either in education or business.

Did you do your research before coming to the UK?

You have no right to insult the British govt because they are not under any obligation to provide job for you.

You pay the school fees and you get the qualification..end of the deal, whatever comes after that is just act of generosity.

Aphrodite007:


First of all, I am just seeing nairaland. Had no idea it existed and that it is this great (gotta compliment you guys).

Secondly, it is precisely because we want to help people do their research that this thread was made. Everybody knows the pros but only few knows the cons. Now people who do their research can learn about the cons because of this thread, so what’s wrong with what we are doing? The universities don’t put this information on their website, so we have come together to put our experiences so people are better informed and don’t make mistakes. How is this bad?

I will say this again. I gained a lot from the UK. Honestly, working in the UK was never the plan, my folks wanted me back within a year, I just wanted to sly them by applying to work there- I knew I was going to get a job immediately I returned to Nigeria.

However, I will not pretend (like you are doing), that a lot of people go to the UK with hopes of remaining. I am trying to fight for the poor ones that slave and borrow that money with that hope at the back of their head, so they do something else with the money. Is this a bad thing?

I respect you a CRAZY lot justwise, but It’s wickedness like this that’s stopping Nigeria from moving forward Cos what you’re literally saying is “eh even though the economy in Nigeria is hard, let them borrow money and come to the UK, study and return!”.

We have no beef with the UK govt (lol, how dare we?!) we just want to tell it as it is so people don’t bother, Abi are you getting paid according to the number of Nigerian students that are in the UK?

justwise:
[/b]

No, is either you deliberately refused to understand what i'm saying or you are just being mischievous.

My message to anybody planning to the UK to read read and read, plan BEFORE you decided to come to the UK, know what you are entitled to, don't start crying and regretting coming to the UK after you might have invested the money already.

If i'm getting paid by the number of Nigerian students coming to the UK to study i would have been pretty rich by now..i mean really loaded.

Oh, my bad . Thanks i appreciate , Mademoiselle.

In addition to the above. All countries eventually make it more difficult based on the political party in power or immigration level targets. Their infrastructure and social services would eventually become stressed and decay at a fast pace due to overpopulation. I know Canada for example has target immigration level by 2020 i.e 2018 to 2020. Who knows what would happen after the levels have been reached.
UK used to be very immigrant friendly till the Eastern Europeans flooded the country for better opportunities.

Part of the "reading", " reading " and "planning" was why this thread was created. These vital information disseminated here will never be found on any UK school website.

He chose to spend that amount of money on the degree programs. The UK is not obligated to give him employment as they prefer British jobs for British workers. There is nothing wrong with being an economy migrant, only that you will not be prioritised.

erico2k2:

I disagree on the value for money point
Value for money is getting an internationaly accepted certificate, One accepted worldwide.Plus when you school here, its not just about the papers.U know what you learn.But I also think Op's heading is misleading.

Thanks for the awareness. I have a BSc Chemistry, if I’m to study in Ireland which sch would u suggest. Thanks

*Clears throat*

1) working in Nigeria is harder in Nigeria, true, but I got a job in Nigeria within two months of returning. That’s how good I am at my field uncle. The only thing that hindered me from getting a job was sponsorship in the Uk, they wanted to keep their sponsorship for more experienced experts. My professor (Emerita) in school spoke to the owner of a web design company to employ me, but the owner explained to me that all she could give me would be an internship for the duration of my stay because of the sponsorship hassles.

2)I had no idea about everything you wrote. I always believed the US was more expensive and didn’t know about the 4 months stay. I knew nothing! That’s why I’m trying to give back to the community.

3) yes you get preferential treatment when you’re an EU/UK person, I think that’s fair. I would want my country to do same.

4) I studied a course that’s in bloody demand IT And I’ve got a British certification to add to it too. I am in Nigeria but keep getting invitation mails (and apparently phone calls frombhead hunters) for job interviews that fit my expertise. I didn’t get headhunted when my address was a Nigerian address, until I put up my UK address and mentioned that I wouldn’t be needing a “sponsorship”.

5) low ranking or high ranking, the UK is desperate for people to work for them, they actually pay their citizens to go to uni just course they need the expertise. So when they see someone from a shortage profession that doesn’t need sponsorship, they pounce on them.

I understand that it’s been years since you last experienced the work situation in the UK, so please let me enlighten you ok. I’ve learned too much from you, now it’s my turn to give back. There are no jobs in the UK unless you want to work for the NHS who need experienced med staff more. If you like be on the shortage list, nothing for you until the home office relaxes their sponsorship laws a bit.

The UK govt owes me no job, true, so they should keep their job, I’ll keep my money, there’s peace.

Cheers boss.

Nobody should get tired of warning people. I’m Social Media Savvy and I had no idea about a lot of things till I came to nairaland- like information is here, I’m even inspired to write about how online communities are saving lives!

But understand that a lot of people still aren’t on nairaland and that a lot of people sign up everyday. They may not know and now they know. If we aren’t making sense, this thread would have gotten the amount of likes and attention that it’s getting, I mean a whole justwise is here too!

You raised a valid point but you counter it yourself.
Lets pick the point one by one.

1) I said semester ticket is free...you said its subsidized......let me use a state like Northrine westfalia as example.... a monthly ticket for non student that covers dortmund to dusseldorf alone is 220 euro.multiply it by 6 month =1320 euro

Compare it to a student who pay 280 euro as semester fees....the semester fee covers all your studies for a semester, takes you the whole of the state, this ticket also takes you to holland and belgium free for six month.....can you compare 1320 to 280?

2) You said not all school are free....what are expecting? You want private university to br free...in my ealier post I.mention only govt universities...the only exception is baden wurttemburg( 1 states out of 16).

3) You talk about rascism: please sir are you new on this platform? Cant you see ipob and yoruba e-warriors on nairaland? Rascim is everywhere bro...how you respond/react to it is what matters. Even UK policy of brexit,cancelling of post study visa is rascist and anti immigrant.

You lived here for 19 years says alot about the country.
If its bad am sure you would have port away.

Like I said, presently in the western world, Germany is the easiest,immigrant friendly and economically best choice for average Nigerian.

Danke.

if you study a course that landed you a job in U.K. doesn't mean it works for them
it's 1 out of 200..
I knew a guy that studied in U.K. but he couldn't land a good job and decided to come to Nigeria.
He's now in chevron

My love, you have to do this research yourself ok. A few schools I know are American College Dublin, Dublin Uni of Tech (I think), Griffiths College and Uni College of Dublin.. I only know the acronyms of the schools but I think I’m write with the meanings.

This is the link for the nairaland page for Ireland https://www.nairaland.com/4056995/general-irish-student-visa-work

Wish you the best dear.
