Hello guys, great work you're doing here.
Well, I have an issue and I would need your advice.
I'm about paying part of my fees but I live in ph and the state is currently in lockdown due to the pandemic I no one knows how long it would remain this way. Can I go ahead to pay the fees or should I wait till the ban on restriction of interstate movement is lifted because, I wouldn't want to pay the fees and not be able to travel out of the state for the visa interview as at when due besides, I dont know if I would be eligible for a refund if that happens.
Guys, pls what do u think?

Thanks as I anticipate your response.

I sent the school a mail concerning this but they couldn't give me a concrete answer.

Congrats!
If you're not sure you'd have the funds up by then, you should respond to their email stating, your most convenient day.
You have them in your court now.





Thank you, and Yes, I agree that the information does look promising.
I have sought to find current practicing Nigerians in the UK Security industry, but haven't had any promising leads yet.

What certification(s) would you suggest fits into the bolded gap? CISM?

Start with CEH if you are new to Info Security world, next by CISSP and CISM. While CISSP and CISM are common requirements, CEH launch and prepare you well for security world. The rest ( GIAC, OSCP, Cisco-Security etc) are better done when you have a grip understanding in area you what to specialize.

autolearner:


Thank you so much for the bolded. I really needed to hear that.
Anyone else headed in for Info Security later this year?

Hmmm this Coronavirus issue no be here oo almost all the Universities are shutting down. My school just shut down indefinitely! All face to face activities suspended and all lectures would be online.

naledis:
Hello everyone.

Anyone here resuming in April/May? Thinking about how the corona virus outbreak could potentially disrupt those plans? A number of universities are already canceling in-class lectures and switching to online teachings.

I pray this pandemic passes quickly with as little carnage as possible. Everyone in areas hit with the virus; please stay safe.

I really can't speak to the merits of one programme over the other, IT and associated areas not being my field, so that's for you to do your research, but Sheffield is definitely more affordable re cost of living than "Rip-off" Edinburgh is.

However, remember there's always a trade-off: big cities are expensive, but usually come with better job opportunities than more provincial ones. I've never been to Sheffield, but I hear Yorkshire is increasingly becoming a more interesting place to be, my friend moved to Leeds (about an hour away from Sheffield, I think) and has a lot of positive things to say about the area.

autolearner:


Congratulations mate!

Both courses are certified by the GHCQ, as such you’re covered on education accreditation. What should then inform your choices should be

- City ( Active or Slow-Paced living) - checkout reviews on StudentRoom, Quora & Reddit.
- Check Indeed or any other job site for what the market is like for Security related jobs.
- Compare the cost of living, if you’re on a budget. You can check Studentcrowd.
- Lastly, I’d strongly advice that you speak to alumni’s of both schools, preferably on LinkedIn and ask questions(lots of it).

I’m sure with the above you should be able to make a better informed decision about whose offer you should go with.

All the best.

Let’s be realistic bro, they ain’t getting no warrant and coming back.

I’ve lived in Sheffield for 6 years now.

First time they did I let them in and got wrong.

I moved somewhere else and they did random checks and knocked on my door, I didn’t let them in and till today, never came with warrant.

How will they know you’ve got a TV if you live in a block of flats? It’s not like Nigeria where you have dstv dish outside.

They only do random checks just for formalities. It’s not that serious.

Yes if you can pay , fine . If you can’t, just be wise.

Thank you

You can make withdrawals/operate the account as usual. You should only ensure that your account balance does not fall below the minimum required amount at any point in time during the 28-day period

I’m going for Global Communication and Media. The scholarship page is on the website. Under their fees and aid. There are a number of them there. The one I’m applying to is TRANSFORM TOGETHER. Just check on the website

harriseen:
Good morning everyone.

So I just got an unconditional offer from Sheffield Hallam University. I’m required to pay a £1k acceptance fee to get my CAS. However I’m also applying for a scholarship that could give me 50% funding for my program. Trying to brainstorm and gather info for an essay I’m expected to write has been a real head scratcher however. I’ll post the topic here, just so anyone is in my shoes or willing to help with useful tips can reach me

”In no more than 500 words, please tell us how you would stand out from the crowd as a scholarship ambassador for Sheffield Hallam University during and after your studies“

Fwaz:
You can request for another 28days statement from your bank.
Let's say from 01may to 28may bank statement is what you used in obtaining your CAS from your school and your CAS was issued to you on 5june, go back to your bank and request for another 28days statement pending when you choose to apply for your visa.. if you chose to apply on 6june, your 28days should start counting from 9may to 5june if I'm not mistaking

myMBAsurvey:
Hi Guys,

Congrats to all who were invited for the interview. I wish you the best. My name is Prince, I am an MBA student at Edinburgh Napier. For my MBA project, I am looking for better ways to improve student recruitment, especially from third world countries. As you know international students contribute a lot to the UK economy. But its hard to say what is the corresponding impact in their own respective countries? How can these schools serve us better? If they understand the pressure and thought process of a typical MSc student, they can help better...

So please can you take out 5 minutes to fill this survey. It's very short, I bet you.

Yours in the hussle.

Bless Guys
