I'm confused.
I'm 23years of age, I have HND in statistics (Distinction), done with NYSC program, I want to further my studies but I'm really confused what to do,

1. I don't know whether to opt in for PGD or BSC(Through Direct Entry).

2. I don't know if I should switch course, from statistics to accounting via Direct Entry and I don't know if HND statistics will be accepted into accounting.
Please I seriously need your opinion and advise on it.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY WIN MSC AND PHD FULL SCHOLARSHIP IN USA AND CANADA WITH HND DISTINCTION OR UPPER CREDIT

FOR USA AND CANADA

You can actually win USA and Canada scholarships with HND distinction or Upper credit and there are so many testimonies.

Firstly, you will need to apply for WES academic transcript. Include both your OND and HND results for evaluation. [/b]WES equals [b]Nigerian HND to USA and Canada Bachelors as they classify it as a 5-year course.

You can then use the obtained WES transcripts to apply for admission and full scholarship in USA and Canada.

Check the schools for any scholarship opportunities and contact supervisors. In your cover letter, state that you need full funding through graduate or research assistantship depending on the opportunity. This might help:

You might need to do GRE and English tests depending on the school. However, some schools might give you scholarships without the tests.

Information on GRE: https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre

FOR UK

Many UK schools admit HND students directly provided you have relevant work experience in the proposed field. Schools like the University of South Wales, Sheffield Hallam University, Roehampton University and many other universities accept HND for MSC directly.

You can get admission without WES transcript. However, unlike USA or Canadian schools in which you can get full scholarship, no scholarship in UK schools.

The below is just to tell prospective students about an easy job they can do in the UK.
I have noticed that many Nigerian and Indian students PSW visa are been rejected at alarming rate due to exceeding 20hrs of work.
Some of these students have no choice than to work above 20hrs because they will immediately be sacked. Some of them solely depend on this income as they borrowed to come. If you work in warehouse jobs, security jobs, kitchen porter jobs e.t.c, you will be given shifts more than 20hrs a week. So everyone, endeavour you have money before coming to the UK so you won't default.

SOLUTION

To resolve this problem, apply to a stay-at-home call centre job. The job is only about 4hrs daily from Monday to Friday, 5pm to 9pm.
This is exactly 20hrs. It is very easy as you will just be answering calls. You will have time to focus on your assignment. The job is also a professional job that can be transferred and added to your CV unlike those aforementioned jobs.
You should have quiet space to work at home with a strong WIFI connection. Many other telecommunication companies have these opportunities.

https://capita.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CapitaGlobal/job/Birmingham/Part-Time-Customer-Service-Advisor---Home-based-Virgin-Media-O2_10061503

Do not work more than 20hrs a week term time as a student. There is no excuse as your PSW visa will be declined

Work smart and don't break the law as it will affect any future application. The jobs are easy which will allow you to focus on your study so that you can achieve at least a Merit in your MSc. This will open door for scholarship and job opportunities.

I have a question. If an employer decides to sponsor you to the UK by giving u a COS and Tier 2 Visa.

What now happens when u decide to maybe study a course in the University in UK after some months.

Will you have to switch back to Students Visa where u only work 20hrs per week while u study or u just continue on the Tier 2 Visa where u can work unlimited?

Thank you.
If you are on Tier2, you and your dependants can study full time.

A Tier 4 dependant can also study full time.

You don't need to apply for student visa.

Hi bro, you didn't understand me, lol... or I probably worded it wrongly. What I meant is that have a BSc in microbiology. Looking at MSc related to that field. Medical microbiology, public health etc...
Oh!
Microbiology and public health is not really lucrative in UK. For health sciences, try Nursing and Social Work. Make sure you are accredited by NMC, HCPC e.t.c.

Hi, new to this thread, but I've read through most of the comments here. Planning on applying for September intake too. BSc microbiology. Any pointers as to which schools are not that expensive, and offer CAS with the least deposit? I'll really appreciate your feedback, even though I'm currently doing my research on unis offering courses related to MCB. Thanks.
I hope you know the cost implication of doing a BSc in UK. The cheapest you can get is about 11000 to 13000 pounds. Check Wolvehampton, BCU e.t.c

For three years, it is 33000 to 36000 pounds.
Just wanted you to know.

Good morning all,
Please can anybody assist with accommodation in or around Sheffield for a family of 3.
Looking at Sheffield,Rotherham, Barnsley , Doncaster or anywhere close to Sheffield.
I’m tired of staying in Hotel accommodation.
The link below after filtering shows various 2 bedroom house/flat accommodation in Sheffield from 500 to 600 pounds.

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E1195&maxBedrooms=2&minBedrooms=2&maxPrice=600&minPrice=500&propertyTypes=&mustHave=&dontShow=&furnishTypes=&keywords=

Ensure you are not in any contractual agreement. This is not Nigeria that you can decide to leave anytime and not pay.

In the UK, even if you don't live in a house or an hostel, you must still pay for the duration signed in the contract. You might find someone to replace you in the accommodation but you are still responsible for payment. Check your contract duration. The landlord cannot eject you in the duration of the contract so nothing like quit notice.

If you didn't sign a contract then you can leave anytime same way the landlord can eject anytime if you don't sign a contract.

Aprokodaughter:
Yes deposit is mandatory but you still have to make first installment.

Some people rush and make first installment before cas. They put all their eggs in one basket.
Lol. Also, some people are desperate instead of them be in control.

In the UK, if you act desperate for anything, you will be used and dumped.

Be in control. After paying only your deposit and waiting for about a week, then threaten them that you will choose another school if they dont process your CAS fast and you will report them to UKVI and they will have to refund your full money.

Use this method and see if you won't be prioritised and given CAS soonest. If you are thanking them and saying please unnecessarily then you will be used. Some people will even pay full tuition fees out of desperation which means you are not in control anymore. Be in control.

You are paying huge tuition fees. Most UK Citizens can't afford to pay all these tuition fees despite their lesser fees as they depend pay loan (UK Student Finance). Most UK uni can't survive without international school fees so be the one in charge and stop simping.

If it were to be full or half scholarship, then the school is in control and you should be patient with them and play along.
