Hello house,

Please when I was filling the form to book a test at IOM , I was asked to fill in my uk address, postcode and number on the 3rd form ? Am I using the right form pls.

mattfeuter:


If I may,

It simply means , that rule ( needing to show academic progression) would have applied to him if he was still in the UK, but since he’s applying from Nigeria, he’s exempt.

But he have done masters in the U.K, do you think it makes sense to return the UK to do masters in the field with showing the difference between the previous masters and the intended one ?

mamacajah:


Is this letter to UKVI or to the school? Is it required during visa interviews or school application/admission process?

This letter will be attached to your visa application, it makes no sense to repeat a course at the same level without any difference between the two courses so your school is right.

You need to show progression between the two.

I appreciate it.

The reason I am asking is because I have lost 2 applications based on this academic progression on a 2nd Masters. Both schools said I didn't meet academic progression for doing a second program at the same level during visa application. But now you guys are saying that applies only to those in UK? But I applied as an overseas student. I am getting a bit confused here...

Is there anyone who successfully applied for a 2nd Masters or knows someone who did.. to shred more light on this.. Thanks!

Was your first masters in the UK?

Pls Gurus in the house help a brother oo I choose Bournemounth university for masters in project management please I dnt have any idea about this area regards to job opportunity n cost of getting a moderate accommodation or do u think subscribing to the school hostel is better option especially with the 14 days quarantine thing... most importantly how is getting a student job in Bournemouth n is there chances of PSW pls I need candid response pls

ok..for example I did my previous masters in Management and now I am going for Social work ... they are different career paths and I have justification on basis of genuine career aspirations.. so does it meet the progression requirement?

Yes

I think it’s just in uk application. See the new policy just released today.

I just say I should show you people your good news

There's a lot of confusion to be honest in proving Academic Progression..I think the schools are the ones that judge..Whatever criteria they use we don't know. But i think they need to see that and justify that before they issue CAS.

I am talking based on my own experience, i had a bit of delay getting my transcript from my Masters to get my admission for PhD, and even though both schools are in the UK,Cranfield refused given me a CAS until they saw my results completing masters and proving academic progression.

Who knows what goes on behind the scene and the boxes they need to tick for this.

Yeah....

Good Afternoon.

Is it possible to book biometric appointment before paying for VISA and IHS?

mamacajah:

It sure does. We fall within the same category. In what field was your Bachelor's degree? Mine was Sociology

Very true. For instance, I applied to three schools. Two asked me to write them an academic progression justification before they could take me to the interview stage, despite the fact that I had already stated reasons for a second Master's in a section of my personal statement. The third one on the other hand, just scheduled me right away for an interview.

I guess my personal statement was enough for the latter plus the correlation between my BSc. and my intended (2nd) Master's program.

He is going to City, University of London

No, it's not. You submit your online application, pay IHS, pay visa fee and book biometrics appointment.

Exactly what one of the schools that gave me offer said when I asked for clarification on meeting academic progression.
Their immigration team said my personal statement already showed progression, so I was good to go and this was before any offer was made.
I have 3 offers now and need to decide which to go for.

Hopefully most schools will use the personal statement approach to justify that the applicant meets the academic progression criteria. It is easier that way.

I completed an MSc in Chemical Engineering last year in the UK. I currently hold an offer for January 2021 to study MSc in Nursing.

People do it all the time. It's called a change in direction masters. You just have to explain your reasons well during the visa interview.

@justwise, @dduchess90,@segunwamiri and others who responded.. thanks so much.. I really appreciate! Merci beaucoup!

Please can one pay Visa fees at TLS and do biometrics same time? Or visa fees has to be paid online too.
