But another reason they could ask for source of funds could be short year gap,,like someone graduated BSc 2 years ago,,now going for Master in UK,,they will not hesitate to ask for source of funds... There must be a reason why,,its not just random

Good morning, I will like to ask , can I apply for my student visa with my statement of result and transcript? , my certificate is not ready( till my school’s convocation which isn’t close). Can I have any issues because of this ? Some schools gave me conditional offer with it while I have gotten an unconditional offer from one. Please your advice would be needed.

Please when denied a student visa for this September intake because of an interview, is it compulsory when reapplying to another school to let them know you have been denied before or it’s not necessary and there is no way the school can know that

Hello Nairalanders,

I hope everyone is doing well.

I've been surprised to see many people still considering the UK study route. While it's ultimately your decision, I want to share a few things that agents and universities might not tell you.

First, many UK universities are facing financial difficulties as international students reconsider the UK. For instance, the University of Derby is running a £40 million deficit and laying off over 200 staff. This instability can affect your experience.

Second, the stress here is different from what we're used to in Nigeria. You will work hard for every penny, and without serious discipline, saving will be a major challenge. The pressure is real—I've sadly lost two friends to stress-related issues here. If you do come, please make your health a priority.

Furthermore, immigration rules are constantly changing. There are talks of reducing the post-study work visa to 18 months. Ask yourself: Do you have enough transferable skills to secure a sponsored job in that tight window? Moving abroad is a marathon, not a sprint. The journey doesn't end with getting a visa or boarding the plane. How will you manage repayments when you're limited to 20 hours of work per week? The truth is, 20 hours is rarely enough, and it will be tough.

If you were my younger sibling, I would not advise you to come to the UK. I would instead suggest Europe, where you're almost certain to get a passport within five years. The only catch is learning a language—which is a valuable skill for your resume.

Enough of my rant. Here’s what I suggest:

Option A: Focus on Other Countries
Consider countries like Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, or New Zealand. After five years of work, you can typically get a passport. You'll also have access to the entire Schengen area. It’s often cheaper than the UK, and the path to citizenship is more certain.

Option B: You Really Want to Be in the UK

While sourcing school fees, also save for a car. Get an international driver's license before you arrive, and obtain a full UK license as soon as you can. It is more valuable than your masters, e get why

Get an SIA license- it will help you find flexible, cash-in-hand security jobs.

Focus on in-demand sectors that offer sponsorship, such as HGV (truck) driving or healthcare. Don’t waste time on a degree that won’t help you survive.

Option C: You Just Want a UK Degree

Apply for scholarships that cover everything, including your flight. You can use your time in the UK to activate plans for Canada or any other place, then return to Nigeria after your Master's and prepare for the move.

Consider a Unicaf scholarship to earn a UK Master's from Nigeria. Travel only for graduation, and use that degree to apply for a PhD in a country that offers a clearer path to residency.

Think carefully and plan wisely. All the best.

Truth please i want to ask how much is the deposit for the fees am also applying for mres at university of Aberdeen

Emmanuelowems:
It’s obvious that people mainly applied for an Mres course because of the option that allows you to take your dependants,now it’s becoming complex because it takes more time to get an Mres offer compared to getting a normal MSc offer so it’s advisable to plan for both so you don’t miss out totally except your priority is to take your dependants along

Emmanuelowems:
Aston university
Birmingham university
Hull university
University of central lancashire

One thing I would say about the Mres student route is that it is more complex than any other student route right now and your chances of getting an offer is not 100% guaranteed but then you can proceed if you choose to,i just need you to be aware that it’s more complex than any normal Msc program do you don’t put all your hopes there

Also for the second question,Yes they give visas to dependant a through the Mres route but you have to sure that the school you are applying to allows dependants for the masters by research course you’re interested in…
