So a student YouTuber cannot make videos while in UK?

Same question, I already scheduled some content, for the time I may not be able to make videos while school...

Gcool2:
Pls which school accepts 2:2for study, I have seen some ,I just want more options.Thanks.Also can someone going for undergraduate take along his partner using tier 4 route.

No, there is no provision for bringing dependants as an undergraduate student.

izyblaze:
Well said. My school offers advance research options for students that were unable to secure placement.

Oh that's great.
Hope other schools offer options to.

Egocen:
Thank you so much
I really appreciate

You are welcome.

Egocen:
Thanks for taking out time to reply me on this

Does this mean I apply for jobs normally on Linkedin then use that as placement?

You are welcome.

From what I have learnt, you can get placement opportunities from sites like LinkedIn etc.

But what I am not sure of is, if placement are advertised or specified on the vacancies.

My advise is,

When you see a an opening in an organisation you would like to do your placement, (either they specify placement or not) apply but don't forget to let them know you are opting for a placement year and that you are a student.

Calling the company or emailing them to follow up may also help.

The more reason we start on time, so that adjustments can me made if necessary.

Cheers.

Please I have a question.. considering most msc in UK is 1yr.. do you still get 2 yrs post study Or is it for the 2yrs msc.. pls answer

Hi,

Post Study Visa is is for all that have recently, successfully completed their study in the UK:

Undergraduate
Masters(1 year Masters/2 year Masters)
PHD

So yes to your question.
You still get a post study visa even if you do a 2 years Masters course.

Gracegal:
VISA ALERT!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

Egocen:
So I got a conditional offer from Salford University, but my problem is that the course duration is for 12 months after which I need to find a placement that is not guaranteed . Does it mean I will get a 1-year visa? What should I do? I really need that placement.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi,
I may not be in a position to advise you on this, as I am yet to do a placement (I'm resuming this September).
However, my advice is on what I know for now.

Most Masters courses in the UK are usually 1 year, however there are some courses that comes with the option of placement (1 year extra) if you decide to choose a course with placement (the placement year isn't compulsory though) that will be making it a two year course. That is, 1 year studies (lectures etc) and the other year placement ( on field, organisation etc, depending on your course).

In the event, that you are unable to get a place to do your placement, this is usually not an issue.

The school will notify UKBI (I don't know if I'm right with the name though) to notify them that your course is now for a year, so your study visa will be adjusted accordingly.

As advised earlier based on the information I gathered on YouTube, it is true that placement may be hard to find but if you start applying on time, the better.

like 6 months before your placement start date to big companies and 2 to 1 month before the placement start date for small companies/organisations.

You have to check with your school to advise you, to be sure the company/organisation you choose is acceptable...

The school usually support/guide students through CV writing, interview process etc.


In summary people still get placement.
It is important to start on time and not wait till about the end of your course.


If you are not able to get a placement year or you decide not to go with the placement year, there is absolutely no need to worry.

After successfully completing your course, you can apply for the graduate route visa, the PSW (Post study Work Visa) its for 2 years.

I hope this helped a bit.

Congratulations on your new journey.

Indeed everyone's story is different. My application was more straightforward than anything....yet I got a non straightforward mail, prayed not to do interview but did. In the end God never fails. He really never does. All glory to Him forever. Amen

All my Napier University people, see you in Edinburgh

Mine was laminated.

I opted for self service though, so I uploaded all document myself.

If you are opting for self-service, just ensure you scan it well.

You should be fine that way.

jesudara459:

…I’m a silent reader and this page has assisted me to completely achieve my visa collection …Good luck to everyone .

True that competition may be high, but you can start applying to companies on time.

Some big companies may require you to submit your application 6 months to your placement start date while some other small companies/organisations may require you to submit 1 to 2 months before start date.

Your school should be able to guide you through the process (CV, Interview process etc)

Online job/placement search, such as LinkedIn etc, can also be helpful.

At least that is what I watched on YouTube...
I applied for a course with placement to.

Egocen:
Please is anyone studying a course that requires a placement year? I emailed the school now and they said they can't promise a placement for the second year of the masters because competition is usually high. What do I do? this is a two year course where the second year is supposed to be an internship/placement year


thanks in anticipation

Similar to mine, but was with WAEC.

I used to whom it may concern, so I can use it anywhere/time.

Chemgot:


Good morning my people.
Regarding my name reconciliation, I have done affidavit and news paper publication today, hopefully it will be published in Tribune tomorrow.
But I'm in NECO office now for confirmation letter but they told me it will take a month for it to be ready. Though the woman said I should wait that she wants to make contact if I could get an earlier date but I want to ask if it should be addressed to my office here in Lagos because i want to upload it as reference in my visa application or my school in Portsmouth.
Please I need urgent and honest reply please.
Or should I stick to the affidavit and newspaper publication.

And whom should I address it to. The school or my office so I can be able to upload it during my visa application
Thank you

All thanks to God and my Nairaland peeps

Hi,
I used my mum's union bank account.
Visa granted.

fountain67:
Who has used Union Bank for POF?
Do they pick call fast from UKVI and who has also gotten visa using Union bank for POF?

I actually used the NPC birth certificate and there is a space that requires one to fill Parents names.

joideviv:


Wahala, my birth certificate doesn't carry either of my parents name as it is gotten from the NPC, can it be binding?

As regards mum's surname being different, I had same challenge.

For peace of mind, Mum had to go to the bank to update her surname.
That is, after doing all the legalities like newspaper publication, Affidavit etc. (All these were required by the bank).

... and yes, birth certificate is required to prove the relationship between a parent and the applicant.

Godsblessings:
Hello house, I really need ur candid advice , just received an offer from uk, pls I want to relocate with my husband and children. Pls can I use my mum account statement for our
visa Applications, if yes , another problem is that my mum surname is not same as mine as she is using her father's name as surname , pls , is it true that my birth certificate showing her name as my mother will take care of that? Really don't know what to do and transferring funds takes another 29days bf I can use it ? Pls , has anyone ever used mother account statement with different surname for student visa and dependent visa? Your input will be appreciated, thanks.

Congratulations!
