Good day house,
I have Bsc in microbiology plus 2 years work experience (1yr as an adminstrator in a hospital and 1 yr as a teacher during my NYSC). I'm considering going for an MBA at UAE. I'd like to know if that's a right move, with regards to getting a good job over there upon graduation. Thanks

Environmental management or food science*

Hello house! I read microbiology and intended going for masters of public health, but was was adviced to go for nursing. To be honest I'd prefer another option besides nursing. I'd like to know if going for environmental management is a good choice. Although it isn't on d SOL but it is in on the CSOL. Thank you

@bikky215 pls how much were u required to pay in order 2 accept ur offer at RMIT?

Franksuccess:

I must be frank with you. I know little about PR through health service management. But I think its very possible. Once you finish your MHS. You can follow it through.so long as the MHS is up to 2years. Sorry about the nursing issue. I am more detailed on that. Don't be confused Ok. MHS is not bad. Once its up to 2 years. Just get ur strategy mapped out. You may want to talk to these guys.No border migration. Just Google dem

Nice. The course is 1/1.5/2yrz but I have the option of choosing the 1.5 or 2yrz duration. My plan is to go for the 1.5yrz duration, then go for a 6months program afterwards, if need be, making it 2yrz in total that I'd spend studying in Australia. Although, I don't know if that would qualify me for the 2yrz post study visa, and if it has oda disadvantages...wah do u think?

@franksuccess. Money na problem oh. I don't wantu start one program and later on change. My CoE haven't bin issued to me, so I can email the school and tell them that I want to change my course of study. Master of Health sciences, with specialization in health services management. The intake dates for the course at WSU are Feb and July. The tuition fees for the nursing program is higher than that of MHS. I was also told that if I'm studying nursing I might not have to time to work part time to earn money for my living expenses, because the spare time I would have, I'd have to spend it at the hospital. The occupations on SOL which I feel might be closely related to the master of health sciences (health services management) besides medical administrator are; child care centre manager, welfare centre manager and primary health organization manager. Please what do you think? Because I can tell Pfl to email the school and tell them that I want to change to the MHS program. Thanks

haliru to be frank, do what's on your mind. If money is not a problem start and change later. On applying for medical administrator, with vetassess its equivalent to a CMD or Hospital director. It's not the same as practice manager.

PFL!!!!!! all of them are the same. I was roped into using them by the school after submitting an application to the schools, I was referred back to them after wasting my time.
I sent you a pm. If you can apply to ECU have all your credentials certified by the regular courts and write your statement of purpose, cv and financial sponsor bank details ready you can get an offer soonest. It's the same money whether mph, nursing etc. You may choose to call them tonight and ask if you can still apply for this February. Or ask pfl to make an application into any bachelor of nursing programs graduate entry for you in a school that responds fast. It's their job since you have paid.

@ossie3 I didn't see the PM u sent me, can u pls send it 2 my email. ogirima111@gmail.com. The problem now is that I've olrdy paid the 1st semester fees for the mph program. I'm considering sticking with the mph program and then applying for PR as a medical administrator since it's on SOL and it's also related to public health. Pls anybody in the health related field with PR experience can advice me on this. Thanks alot

That would be after losing money about 25k aud per year as it only starts in January. Check this school you can apply for July UNE or see if you can apply for this session. But they say the town is small because of jobs.
What's your degree? Did you apply through Goajo?
Try also ECU you won't need an agent just like UNE

I read microbiology. I applied through pfl

[quote author=occie3 post=52671725]@haliru and frank success

This was the same situation I was in. From my experience majority of the schools require you to apply through an agent limiting your choice of programs. Sometimes the agents will even force you to accept a program you don't want because not every agent is affiliated with all schools and certain programs are done only in some schools. Very annoying. Nothing gets done best except by you.

Haliru I was also offered mph at WSU but before making commitments my friends and senior colleagues back then in school that are in australia warned me that anything but public health. Infact a friend of mine from Ghana, writing the med exams and doing mph said mph isn't it anymore. They have removed most of the specialties eg Occu. Health and environmental health from the list. Community workers do most work public health workers do people with just diploma. Most public health jobs are done by nurses etc. Even if you continue mph through doctorate it doesn't guaranty PR.

You can go ahead if you are planning to Ace any exams and do something else as I was adviced by at least 4 persons or plan returning to naija.

Options I was given were health informatics, masters of medical sciences, above all every one suggested nursing "like if I had known kind of expression"

After hearing that I just abandoned that and moved on after all no point paying that kind of money with no financial support from the school and running pillar to post post graduation. I had to change agent again as that's the new norm. Not that I cant do it by myself it is mandatory for the schools I was interested in.

A point to note is that health professionals and even doctors not only from Nigeria do nursing via graduate entry bachelors or masters. It's the same fees as any other regular program. And it's about 1.5 to 2 years. Benefits are; you learn about the medical system, high job availability while you sort out your exams to practice, connections in the medical world and of course no worries for pr later. Because it's speculated that GP will be removed from the list this year.

Finally only God knows tomorrow. If you feel convinced then please go ahead as our destiny's are in the hands of God.



@occie3 @franksuccess @bamijide
Thanks a lot for the advice. I really appreciate it. I've already paid my acceptance fees for the mph program at WSU. I jus learnt that WSU offers the bachelor in nursing (graduate entry) program dt u guys talked abt. Pls how easy would it be for me 2 swap to the nursing program, if I eventually decide I'd like to go for it, when I get to Australia. Thanks a lot for the info

I accepted my offer to study masters of public health at western Sydney university and I was told to send my sponsor's bank statement, before they'd send me my CoE. Please does anybody have an idea of how much is required to be in the account, putting into consideration also how much would have to be in it when I'm applying for visa?? Thanks

[was required to have as his account balance? because I jus accepted my offer to study a masters program at Western Sydney University, and I'm confused on how much I need to have in my sponsor's account, b4 applying for visa. Thanks @teahigh quote author=guadete post=52339308]hello

Good day! Nice write up. I gained admission into the University of Newcastle in Australia and I'm about applying for my visa. I'd like to know the required documents to be provided, when it comes to corporate sponsorship, in the case of the applicant's sponsor. Thank you

omokay80:
please have you taken time to read the new rule for the Australian student visa?the information you have here is really confusing regard who can be a sponsor cos I believe this applies to the old rule. kindly put it in a clearer way or research more on the new SSVP from July 1st 2016.
