Good morning house am trying to process the Masters in Research program for my sister in the UK but am clueless, how do I go about it and she also has a third class in her first degree so don't know if she can be admitted with that result and I also want to find if we're late for admission in September

Forget it, no university will accept her for MRes
Her best bet is Hertfordshire (Msc Management), UWE ( Msc Business & Digital management), CARDIFF Metro & EDINBURGH NAPIER for their Msc taught degrees

Tybalo:
Please how do I do that ?

You mean I should send a message inside the cas shield login?

Yes, use the contact me section on the CAS shield and email all your request.
They respond within 2/3 working days.

I need advice on course that’s best to offer for someone with hnd in public administration, and is it a must to go for only related course , or can one pivot to health or IT

Few universities accept HND for direct MSc programs, and I doubt that a public administration certificate would be applicable for IT or health courses unless they are conversion programs.

I recommend the Oxford International Career College in the UK for their 9months Adult Social Care Diploma, which comes with a guaranteed 2–3 years of sponsored employment through City & Guilds.

YulPapparrazi:
Good morning great people,
Please any idea how long it takes to process CAS after initial deposit for UWE Bristol?

Have you uploaded the receipt/sent it to finance for confirmation?

If yes, you should have received a CAS shield.
I could help ask Jennifer, the Nigerian rep for UWE

If not that everything is just wrong in this country, how on earth does Aboki get to have dollar and banks that are supposed to be the institution responsible for such don't have the dollar.

Stupid people, Banks get dollar and prefer to sell to aboki for gains rather than the normal customers that need them for transactions..

Every system in Nigeria is just not working, should we even exchange pounds for #2000 plus to a pound.

I just don't understand this country

That's right.
It's a lot of round-tipping from bank managers to executive directors.

fafaminji:
Please how you guys pay deposit is it black market or form A rate.

FORM A rate is close to the aboki black market rate. The bank rate was discontinued in 2023 because to a shortage of forex in banks.

You can buy forex from aboki and complete an international transfer form with your student ID, full details, and school bank information (direct transfer, Convera, or Flywire).

Good day house
Please anyone going for MREs in university of Gloucestershire?

Has anyone heard anything from the school
My wife has done her pre cas interview but we haven’t heard anything yet for about 3/4 days now

Any idea what’s happening pls?

If she has done this and was sure in her ability, you have a foot at the door.
Email the CAS compliance team tomorrow for feedback.

I would need ur help concerning securing Admission for Research Master Business or Management .. also University that friendly with tuition fees sir

The problem with this request is that many of the few universities offering a Master's in Research in Business have already stated they are full and are unsure whether they will accept additional applications for September 2025. Institutions like Birmingham City University, Bolton, University of Central Lancashire, Gloucestershire, York St John, and Portsmouth have received ten times more applications than the limited CAS available. It's not guaranteed that all offer holders will be issued a CAS. Many applicants who paid 2-3 million naira for proof of funds were disappointed in January 2025 when universities informed them that their limited CAS allocations had been exhausted.

Hertfordshire are about to roll out their MRes Digital management but the university representative ( Mrs Bolanle Durodola) said they have only 40CAS to give.

Gifty28:
Good morning, is your Hnd upper class or lower class pls?? Looking for more schools that accept Hnd lower class. Thank you

University of south Wales
Cardiff Metropolitan university
Edinburgh Napier university
University of Hertfordshire ( Msc outdoor environment education)



Make sure you twisted your CV is tweaked to align with the course .
It helps with you change your role to a supervisory or a managerial role on the CV as well

Please bro, I want to ask few questions.


After CAS is offered by the school, what’s the next step to take. Visa application or wait a little?

I’ve bin offered conditional offer at University Hull and the condition is to upload legal documents for age difference on my Waec And my passport, buh they already sent me Visa questionnaire.


Again, what can you say About Chester university and university of Hull, because those are my two choice. I’ve been given conditional admission by Hull and I’m still waiting for Chester to make their Decision, maybe this week.

The University of Chester stands out with a tuition fee of around 12-13k, lower than Hull's £14k.
Warrington where Chester is located is close to Liverpool and Manchester while Hull is an isolated village.
Chester also boasts a rich history as the first purpose-built teacher training college in the UK with a legacy of teaching excellence that is higher than HULL

samintegrity:
Biko anyone heard from Wolverhampton recently?

It's like we have been ghosted.

If I were you, I'll start looking at other options.

The university representative said they cannot handle all the applications they have received for MRes, hence the sudden silence.

sewenbigboi:
Hello here guy pls I need an advice I just got an admission for my masters in UWE Bristol university I applied with HND but I’m yet to accept it because I don’t know the next step I was told to pay a deposit of 5K when I logged in my portal I want to know if I can apply for scholarships and I’ll be granted even if I should pay the 5k deposit later
Pls is there any scholarship available?
Or I should just accept and move on
And I don’t know if there’s job in Bristol or anything about the place all I want is a job and study

Pls I need a reply from anyone with the idea

UK scholarships are hinged on external bodies although few universities offer internal fully funded or partial scholarship, and to the best of my knowledge, UWE rarely offer one.
Bristol is the sin city of England.
Dem fit tear your yansh, if you're not careful. .

He should have left for Saudi last season. I believe his decision to stay was poorly considered, just like Mo Salah's.
Saudi Arabia is offering great financial opportunities for these players. They should go and play 2 years there, make their money, enjoy time with family, and then take a break, maybe even go back to school for a degree or diploma. After that, return to football in a new capacity, whether as a youth- coach, pundit, or sporting director.

All the best KDB.

Guys I’m at a crossroads here

POF is my sisters account
Ukvi website says parent (guardian) fund

Question: Do we need to move the funds to my Mom account and wait another 28 days?

Worries: resumption is May 25th and 28 days from today roughly gives me a window of one month to submit my visa application.


Is it still possible I can get the visa within that timeframe ??

IHS paid already, application fee was about to be paid before it crossed my mind that the POF might be wrongly setup

Yes, you don't have a choice.
That's why it's recommended to consult with an agent, few of us offer free services, and I am one of them. You would have been informed of this when applying for admission to study.
Transfer the money into your mom's account, obtain the applicant's birth certificate from the National Population Census, and have your mom write a sponsorship letter stating she's exercising her parental rights.

Michellasilva:
Urgent question!!!

Please can I use gtb Mastercard to pay for priority visa fee.. or must it be a dollar card. Because I am not receiving any otp to proceed ??

Domiciliary card.
I heard Access bank has a payment card.
You can ask but gtb is strictly dollar card.

alabajay:
Please can you list some schools that are strict so people can avoid?

I got an unconditional offer from Birmingham City Uni.. School fees is 18k, 9k initial payment and the rest can be paid in three installments.. Any idea how strict they are?
Please I will like to know.

Thanks!

Teesside university
Bournemouth University
Manchester Metropolitan university
Swansea university.
York St John

This is not the entire list but hol your money, if you want study for these universities

TheWorldLeader:
Quick one house…

Please can I use 2 statement of account as POF
1. Uk bank account
2. Nigerian bank account

I need around 18,300. There is 17k in pounds and the other is in Nigeria bank same sponsor name.

Yes, as long as the bank statements are in your name ? No issue.
But be careful, UKVI may just be nosy and ask the source of your UK bank statement.
Think about that

Candidwhite:
Please bro, could you please advice me on when POF is supposed to be in your account. Is it immediately after application or when the school has given you admission?.

Be aware of when your university will start issuing CAS. Use this information to your advantage so you don't have to renew your POF every month after the first one expires. Ideally, you should start the process as soon as your tuition deposit is confirmed.
As i said, email your university immigration & compliance team

Folks

My daughter anticipate UK university next year after her secondary education. Please what UK university would you recommend?
What is the chance of scholarship given the likelihood of high tuition vis a vis good course?

Thank you.

God punish Nigeria leaders.

If she's Tech, engineering, nursing or social care or pharmaceutical inclined, let's work the republic of Ireland for her.
But she has to do a foundation program for a year before progressing into their undergraduate degree for 4yrs

bukagb91:
Good morning, everyone. I got an unconditional offer letter from Bournemouth University for a master's program, and the tuition is £19,000. I got a scholarship discount of £4500. leaving me with £14,500 as tuition.



I'm also planning to apply to York St. John University for a master's program. The tuition is £11,800.

I noticed the tuition is way cheaper than other schools in the UK. Please, is the university a good school? I know accommodation can be a bit pricey because York is a tourist place.

I'm just trying to weigh my options.

York is cheaper truly but cannot be compared to a top 40 university in the UK.
But If you're a self funded student, You can choose York

Edututorial:
Good day everyone.

I have a little situation, and I would appreciate your advice.

My wife and I are in the UK and we recently applied for a Visitor's visa for my mother-in-law. We attached Sponsorship Evidence, three-month payslip, visa form, and our passports, but we didn't attach Tenancy Agreement or Proof of funds.

Has anyone had a similar issue? Was an NSF given? How do you think we should proceed?
Thank you

This is very tricky.
This is quite challenging.
A visitor visa is different from a student visa, where ECO's tend to be more lenient. She might be denied, but stay positive.

Zyzman:
Hello House,

I am looking to migrate to Uk with my spouse, I want her to study a health related course in masters research while I work.

We have a kid, she studied biochemistry and recently finished nysc, I need help on knowing possible health courses she could study.

Cheap tuition, Easy to get job after and also a course we can migrate together.

Please your advise would be highly appreciated.

You can do Masters by research in public health at university of central Lancashire.

Stepson:
Hi guys, I got a conditional offer at York St John University, for Mres Education. I have a spouse who will be joining me few months after I've arrived, this is because we can't run the application together because of fund shortage.
(is it advisable)

Secondly, is York St John University a good school? Doing this Mres Education for a prospective doctorate in the future.

Are there jobs nearby for an international student?

Can I get sponsored work in education immediately after graduation? I have over 7yrs teaching experience in a govt secondary school, a certified teacher with my TRCN and a 2.1 graduate of English Education.

While the chances may be slim, there is still a possibility of finding grace.
Early childhood educators, special needs teachers, physics instructors, and modern foreign language teachers have a better chance.
However, employers may be hesitant to pay the new sponsorship fee, which has been raised by the UK government.

Ernest666:
Pls I need the list of UK universities that accept [b]low tuition deposit 3500 pounds or 4000 [/b]pounds

University of Sunderland - payment plan is rigid.
Sheffield hallam university - 5000 pounds by resumption.
Oxford Brookes - total tuition more expensive

Orlanray:
Someone should advice me.

I got admission to two universities in UK for masters in CIVIL ENGINEERING

1. University of teesside (£4,000 initially payment total is £17,000 school fee)
2. University of portmouth (£,8900 initially payment total is £19,200 school fee)
3. University of Bolton ( dnt know thep initially payment total is £17,500 school fee)

Which is the best for me to choose. My main objective of traveling for study ,Is to try to work as student. To get money to finish the school fee payment and also send to my family at home

Bolton deposit is 5000 pounds and offer flexible payment, there are jobs in Greater Manchester even though rent is not cheap but in terms of course ranking & Alumni network for postgraduation, Portsmouth is the best place to be.

Speconnet:
Dear nairalander, I need your help.
I got an admission to UK school through PGCE as a physics teacher and It has been confirmed that I am eligible to 29,000 pounds bursary which will be paid for 10 months installment by the UK government (2900 per month). Now the school that offered me a place based on the bursary reduced my initial deposit from 50% to 25% which is 4000 pounds, approximately 8m naira. The school is starting tis sept 2025 and I have to pay the deposit by May in order to process my visa. The problem now is that I don't have 8m to pay for deposit. Please if anyone knows where I can get loan based on this I will surely pay back as soon as I start collecting the bursary or any other information on how I can go through this will be appreciated. This is a golden opportunity and I don't want it pass me by.

What is the name of the university?
Can you approach Prodigy finance?
