What you have will not be enough. Even if you had enough, its not a good idea. Get your PhD in Nigeria, just ensure you make good grades, getting a job overseas won't be a serious issue. 1 Like |

Has your masters been useful ? .. If you haven’t worked and made good income with your masters then it’s pointless studying further... Use 1/4 of the money and invest in a professional training that can get you instant job.. It’s not about your level of academic but what you make out of it... Naturally for a hardworking person that is well focused, first degree and loads of professional job is enough to get you to the top... 1 Like 1 Share |

OP N16m certainly won't be enough and you would be stranded and frustrated. Explore song it in other European countries like Germany and Austra where it's almost free and you will even be given some monthly stipends. Oh boy calculate very well and don't be hasty. 2 Likes |

Go to South Africa instead similar education system with the UK and you would get funding for conferences and the rest. With 7 million you would be fine. 2 Likes |

Trello: Which course? Are you presently employed? Did they promise you employment at graduation? If you are hoping to come back to secure a 'job' in Nigeria at graduation. You may be disappointed. Even if you finally manage to secure one here. Your salary for 20 years may not reach that #16 million. We are talking of Corona, you are talking of abroad study? Like seriously? Is this your imagination? 1 Like |

The minimum you need to cover your tuition and living expenses for a years programme is about 40m. Go back and do your calculation. Ir is not worth it. Why do you need foreign education and why the heck are you even going tp UK when you cab study online |

Please make further research as I fully understand that the average year fees for PhD is £13,500. Therefore, your 3 years fees will be £40,500. Then, average shared apartment is £350/Month depending on the location. The total estimated rent for 3 years = £12,600. Utilities, bus-pass and food estimated for 3 years = £18,000. The total = £71,100 [N34 million] However, you can do a part-time job of 20 hours/week @ £8.25/hour subject to increase. If you work for 3 years, your estimated income will be = £23,760. Also, the U.K. new immigration system will be friendly to you after your graduation. If you have got a partner, he/she will bring in additional estimated income of = £43,200 within the 3 years. Also, your dependent children will have access to free education when they clock 5. My advice: if you have got N16M for education, take a chance and thank me later. 7 Likes |

That's throwing money down the drain I can tell you so confidently. What job do you think you 'll get after that that 'll compensate for that cost? Do you think you 'll be employed in the UK? Of course that's a low chance! Next thing is why are you even doing a Ph.D.?! If the answer isn't because you really have a passion for the academia/lecturing then you are simply wasting the time & resources. If otherwise, note that phd shouldn't cost your own money!! You should get assistantships & scholarships for it because there are a lot of it. You should go to Canada or some Scandinavian country for this. Whatever the case just note your 16M for studies in UK has zero ROI. What job will you get then that you can't get now? I'd rather you obtain the money and just even buy Treasury bills with it. And that's about 2M per annum income for u dude. Now I'm even sure you ve not considered that the amt will be much more than that because the pound naira rate will become more expensive due to oil price crash. Trello: 2 Likes |

I don't know the exchange rate you used to arrive at that N16M for a PhD program in the UK, but I'm very certain that you need not less than N30M to run a PhD in the UK. Besides, you have a one year probation which prepares you for your research before you commence your PhD proper, and that makes it four years. Therefore, it is a four year program & not three. You can correct me if I'm wrong. 1 Like |
