Good day, Ma. I'm currently applying for PGCE secondary biology. To submit, I found out I have to pay application fee. I want to confirm if I'm applying the correct way, because I haven't come across application fee in the postgraduate application I've come across for UK universities.

Also, if correct, is there a way to pay the fee from Nigeria? My access atm is being declined on the site

If you are applying via UCAS, you have to pay an application fee. I think it cost around 26 Pounds or so...

@ Rhitar19: I am not sure about how allocation of placement work at the University of Kent. However, in most cases, placements are allocated based on individual circumstance. I suggest take your time to get a good grasp of UK issues before driving.

Some insights from the Professor (Professor Kim Woo-joo from Korea University Guro Hospital) leading South Korea's response. Although he spoke Korean all through.. the interview is transcribed in English. I believe some of our health professionals here could find this information useful.

Congratulations to you, @fatima04. This is indeed good news!!!

For some reasons I forgot to share my driving testimony here. So here it goes to encourage someone.

I passed on the 5th attempts after giving up for more than 6 months. My first exam was December 2018 and I was not adequately prepared and ended up failing. 2nd and 3rd attempt was booked 2 weeks apart in February and I was just desperate to get it over with and still failed.
4th attempt was the semi last straw that made me give up because I failed for not doing up to speed limit, which I felt was not correct because the examiner judged me on Tom-Tom speed which is usually lower than what you see on the dashboard and the 3rd minor was literally 30 seconds to the exam center.

I was so pissed and angry and just decided to stop wasting money and stick to public transport and driving the family car when I can. Eventually with encouragement from here and family I booked another exam but decided to change my full strategy.

a. Research pass rate of centres near me, my exam centre had 32% pass rate so I decided to go for another not too far which had 49% pass rate
b. Changed Instructor after being loyal for 4 times
c. Scheduled exam for a Thursday and booked the preceding days off work to ensure continuous practice (I was always going on a friday test date and last lesson would have been sunday.
d. Made sure I was really calm like what is the worst that can happen.

On that beautiful day in October, I did my test and passed with 3 minors. I was over the moon, typing this months after sef I still feel like its a huge achievement and load off.

Thank you to all who encouraged me to never give up. To all still struggling to pass, just dont give up and your hardwork would soon come to fruition

As suggested by @claremont, you may consider applying for postdoc research positions and I think you may consider applying for positions in the FE sector as well. I understand that there is so much competition and uncertainties in the HE job market. In all, it is best to apply as much as you can.



[quote author=jamela post=85133677]Hi everyone,

I am currently on my Doctorate Extension Scheme visa after completion of my PhD. The following is a summary of my situation.

Summary:
Point 1: I'm currently enroute a comfortable 6 years in UK continuous residence and hope to make the 10 year ILR.
Point 2: I have spent 5 of this 6 continuous years studying without breaks. the 6th current year is on a Doctoral extension scheme (1 year visa) expiring next year.
Point 3: I now need to earn 4 years more to qualify for the 10 year ILR.

In April 2019, TLS was migrating from their old system to the new system, which is currently in use. I guess this was responsible for the change during this period. It is good to hear that walkin appointment is back now.

Floraoye0417:
Noo, walk in appointment is either b4 or after ure appointment date. Someone close to me did hers a week b4 her appointment.

This thread provides vital information needed for migration to the UK. I salute our seniors (@Dustydee, @Justwuise, @fatima, @dupyshoo, @lexusgs430, @UKmigrant and others) for keeping the thread alive. The information that we got from here eased the whole process (visa application process, house search and bank account opening, among other) for us. Just to add my experience with visa submission process (Submitted application: April, 2019), TLS has revised the concept of "walk-in submission". Walk-in applicants can only submit at anytime on the selected date for the walk-in appointment.
