Hi all, I think I need a bit of encouragement. I moved to the UK on a student visa in December. Before relocating, I was doing quite well back home.

Do you want to be close to the city centre? Are you looking for a place for family?
Seacroft is nice, about 5-10minutes to the city centre
You can also check Dewsbury, rent is okay there

Good morning friends, actually its been a while since I posted here, well I want to congratulate everyone of us that has taken advice from we that have an experience to share. As you know, there is an ongoing cult war presently in Aba btw ayyees and bagas.
That aside, I would be dropping some expository notes this morning.
As you know, if you've been following my story since 2020, I was (personally refrained) an Axe man. I left involvements around 2018. I blended in Abia state, this is just a reminder for those that are just viewing the thread, you can go through my posts(though I have edited some) where I spoke about my past involvements. Reach me out for advice, questions etc.

Why are you scared? Even people with no computer science background have smashed and destroyed cybersecurity.

Go to Udemy and Coursera to have a broad knowledge of the course and understand it first if you are scared.

You can also do data science or data analytics so you can choose what you are most competent. Do your findings yourself and have the knowledge.

No one can decide for you.

Hello.
I studied Computer Science for my Bsc in 2019 and I have interest in going for Msc Cybersecurity, I do not have any work experience or skills on Cybersecurity but I have been reading up on Cybersecurity.
From your course of study in your Msc, do you think I can still apply for the course or do I need to have skills on Cybersecurity?

DaCrypto:
Thanks for this great feedback.

Please can we talk directly? Let me email you or WhatsApp..

Thanks once again

Hello Everyone,

I studied Mechanical Engineering in my first degree...graduated with 2.1 in 2009. I have also done my master degree still in Mechanical Engineering.

However, after my undergraduate program, I got a job as a cybersecurity officer in a Bank and I have been in the banking industry ever since. I have done some information security certifications like Sec+, CEH, CISM.

My problem is that I am confused on what part to follow;

1. Should I start from Master Mechanical Engineering

2. Should I go straight for PhD

3. Or should I continue with Cybersecurity?

I got some information that it would be difficult to get VISA if I go for Cybersecurity because it's different from my first degree..."Lack of career progression".

Please I need guidance from experienced members

You start from scratch..........

Your Nigerian experience, is not a positive, but a negative......

1 - Obtain a provisional licence
2 - Get a driving instructor
3 - Start revising for your driving theory test
4 - Book your theory driving test (expires in 2 years, if you don't pass your practical driving test)
5 - When you understand the rudimentals of proper driving, awareness, perception etc etc
6 - Book your Driving practical test
7 - Ensure you avoid points within 2 years, or your licence would get revoked

NB : Remember, your vehicle horn is not a musical instrument..........

Not in any particular order, but a guide ........

Just to emphasise the excellent response from TheGuyFromHR
ILR: skilled worker (Tier 2) --> 5 yrs
ILR: student (Tier 4)/PSW --> 10 yrs
ILR: global talent (researcher/digital technology) --> 3yrs or 5yrs

To the babe, since she's already doing IT Audit with NHS, she stands a good chance of getting a sponsorship from an employer or even NHS.
If she's undergrad, better to finish first.
If she's postgrad, finish the course work at least and attempt (credible) publication.
While at it, let her consider ISACA's CISA certification to supplement her UK work experience.
With a postgrad, CISA and 3yrs UK work experience in IT audit (especially if she got involved in innovative areas beyond the normal ITGC), she might stand a chance of Global Talent (digital technology) route [emerging leader / ‘exceptional promise’]

Lexusgs430:
I used to be up to date, with immigration rules...... But my small brain is getting to capacity............

TheGuyFromHR:
1. No to the first half of the question, and yes to the second half. She's on a student visa, so she is not being sponsored.

Sponsorship is a specific process whereby the employer tells the Home Office you are working for them and you are given a COS number (same concept as a CAS number for students) to apply for a Skilled Worker (former Tier 2) visa. If you get a skilled worker visa, you have to spend 5 years on that visa (you can change employers) to qualify for ILR.

2. If you are on a student visa, all time spent legally in the UK counts towards the 10 year ILR route, including student visas and the post-study visa.

giselle237:
After 20 years such a person who had no visa, can apply to start a ten year route to settlement, applying 4 x 2.5 year visas. 20 + 10= 30 yrs to ILR. He/she will need evidence from every year of his residence in the UK.

Lexusgs430:
I honestly don't understand this new immigration schemes........

Lexusgs430:
NHS trusts have bank staffs, how do you apply for staff bank roles, if not via the hospital........

Itzqueency:

Why is gym membership kind of expensive. The average I'm seeing is about £40 monthly. I was looking for something in the range of £15-20/month.

HamdanTY:
An account officer being on leave shouldn't stall your transaction, I'm sure they know what's at stake.
Visit the branch and speak to the BSM or RM.
I pray it gets resolved soon.

HamdanTY:
A whole 2 months. I hope you've sourced for another means because one can't wait forever.

HamdanTY:
