Pls I need your advise on this.. I intend to do change of course from my current Political science (Bsc) field to information technology by pursuing Masters on Info. Tech. Is this possible at RGU? I recently applied for Postgraduate course on I.T around early October at Robert Gordon University and they still haven't responded
Very possible. I applied for something like that and got offers; one from RGU and I will be heading there by January.

Visa Alert! Visa Alert!! Visa Alert!!!

UK Tier 4 Visa Application - 18th September 2021(Priority). I am the main applicant and my wife is the dependent.

Course of study- M.Sc in Information Technology and Network Management at Robert Gordon University at Aberdeen, Scotland

Biometrics - Wednesday 22nd September 2021 at Ikeja TLS for myself and my wife. My wife had appointment but I did walk-in as I can’t wait till 24th September because school has resumed since 13th September and my own biometrics was meant to be 24th September.

Monday 27th September 2021 - Received first NSF Mail

Monday 4th October 2021 - Received 2nd NSF mail. Shortly after I received a call and an email from UKVI for a video interview slated for the following day 5th October for 9:30am. ( At this stage we have disposed of most of our things at home and we’re practically sleeping on the floor. Imagine the tensions that were already creeping into our mind and lives?)

Tuesday 5th October 2021 - Video interview commenced as scheduled and lasted for about 1 hour. Questions asked ranges from reasons for my previous three visa refusals from 2003(two refusals) and 2016(one). The also asked reasons for the 13 year educational gap between B. Sc (2008) and intending M.Sc(2021) and what I have been doing in-between those years. They asked other others ranging from why I wanted to study IT, why I chose Robert Gordon Uni, what myself and wife were doing for a living amongst other sundry questions then the interview ended.

Monday 11th October 2021 - Wife’s profile moved to VAC and later that day a pickup mail was delivered .

Tuesday 12th October 2021- My profile moved to VAC and a pickup mail was sent later that day.

We both travelled to Lagos on Friday to pick up our passport with our visa inside.

It was a torrid journey which started in May 2021 and had a lot of delays from my university(Olabisi Onabanjo University) failing to process my transcripts on time to RGU first offering me a pre-masters which I rejected to the real masters admission coming out late on the 1st of September 2021. What about having to go to the Ikoyi registry to correct numerous errors on our wedding certificate which they made three times? The numerous near accidents on the Lagos/Ibadan expressway amongst others.

In all these we thank the good lord that the whole project was successful at the end.
Congratulations bro. I have got RGU January Offer for a similar course. Hopefully, we go hook up next year. Processing my CAS.

Since you are already on a PhD it probably have substantial research records, I would advise applying for PhD programs in the US or Canada where there is possibility of full or partial funding with stipends sef
Thanks for this. I have put in a few applications for PhD in USA and hoping to get positive feedbacks. I however have a conditional offer for Cyber Security in the UK and would like to explore that because of the job prospects.

I got a conditional offer for Info Tech with Cyber Security at RGU, Aberdeen for January 2022. I love the course and would like to go for it as conversion due to my non-computing background.

I, however, have a few questions:

Is Aberdeen a good place for students and how is job availability?

How marketable is Cyber Security in the UK as I would love to make it a career afterwards?

Replies shall be appreciated

I applied August 11. I hope to get a positive response this week as well. Maybe we go gather together for Aberdeen.

I have got applications elsewhere, but the course I put in at RGU is my topmost priority. So if I get it, chances are high that I go for it.

OP, if you are young, take the American visa offer. I have colleagues who earn more in Naija and have left. One advise is that get education in America and you will be able to sure a decent job and build a career after that. A lot of Nigerians have got good careers here in Academics, IT and Healthcare, even sports.
