As a foreigner student? Not possible

oscarpellenchy:
Hello gurus in the house..
Great job you guys are doing here. I am considering offers from Northumbria University and University of Brighton, please I need some tips and hints about the two cities in terms of student jobs, standard of living, accommodation and other important criteria . @ Justwise and other gurus , biko help put mouth...thanks a lot...

Both cities are good but Northumbria is a much better university, like I always say .. if you can try and attend a good university it will set you aside in job market especially as a foreigner on a visa

feyijo:
@Justwise Please I have admission from Six schools which I have narrowed down to Bournemouth and Cardiff University. Cardiff fees is £23,450 while Bournemouth is £15,000 but I have soft landing in Bournemouth (free accommodation). Do you know anything about both cities and school? Your response will be appreciated

Well Cardiff is a far better university than Bournemouth , and regarding student and graduate jobs Cardiff also has an edge but pre COVID could change a lot of things job wise.

If not that Bournemouth ranking is poor I would have suggested you take their admission since you have soft landing there and affordable fees

omosezy:
@justwise, i appreciate your good work and that of others in the management of this great platform. Please i would like to ask if its possible for me to get a job in Uk.
I'm a Civil Engineer with 10years work experience.
How can i go about this? Please

If you are not in medical or IT field getting a job in the UK from Nigeria will be almost impossible

kenfarm:
Pls What do you know about Robert Orson University
in terms of getting integrity with embassy in granting visa, getting part-time jobs, job prospects after school and going to a very good university.

I really don't know much about that area but i think someone answered question regarding job prospect in Scotland area

olaness:
Thanks for your response. What about job prospects? Which city would be better? I'm looking at caregiving as I have good experience in the field.

In terms of job prospect Leeds is better than Braford but caregiving job is available in both cities

Kenny1111111:
I have plans dear. Thanksss

Ok cool, present the plan to the ECO during your visa application

tifaniaj:
Please Justwise do you know anything about wales most especially Swansea?

i have zero knowledge of those area..Scotland in general.

Kenny1111111:
It’s a month.

That means you are due just around your first semester .. any plan how to juggle study and baby?

Macaulay10:
Hello people

I have been seeing that people pay their tuition with naira account, and the pounds equivalent is deducted, my dad has dollar in his Stanbic domiciliary account.

Can we pay the tuition with the dollar, my plan was to Change the dollar to naira and pay the tuition.

Also, which of the two is cost effective in terms of paying with the dollar or naira?

@justwise
@lagosismyhome

Sure ..definitely.

olaness:
Justwise, your opinion pls?
How practical will it be for a family of four to live in Leeds but the student schooling in Bradford?
Or living and schooling in Bradford with the dependent partner working in Leeds.

Which will you recommend and pls give your reasons. thanks

I will recommend bradford to Leeds, you will save more money living in Bradford than Leeds though Leeds is more developed.

Leeds is just 20mins away from Bradford by train or 45mins by coach

Faithluv5:
Thank you for your response. I appreciate. Please what other option will you recommend aside warwick please

Manchester is another good option as it gives you both..opportunity for jobs and affordable cost of living, Manchester is also a huge student destination both home and foreign students, not many cities has that qualify in the UK

Kenny1111111:
Good morning everyone, please I’m about to go for my TB test but I found out I’m pregnant. Will this affect my visa application? Thanks

How many months pregnancy?

joshuabless:
greetings @justwise please how is Hertfordshire in terms of student jobs, accommodation and living cost.

I don’t see Hertfordshire as a cheap or affordable place to live especially as a student on budget, cities too close to London are usually expensive but jobs will not be an issue

Faithluv5:
So sorry to bother you. I want to make my deposit this friday to one of these universities below and I really do not know which one to go for, in terms of getting part-time jobs, job prospects after school and going to a very good university.
I have offer from the following universities below -
1. Robert Gordon University - MSC Cyber security (1year). 2. Univeristy of Salford Manchester - MSC Cyber Security (1year) and
3. Nottingham Trent University - MSc IT Security (2years)
4. Teesside University - MSC Cyber Security (2years)
5. Univeristy of Warwick - MSC Cyber Security Engineering (1year)

Please @justwise I'll really appreciate your response.

If you can afford it go to that university, far far better than the rest, ranked 11th in the UK, there are student jobs there but if you are an outgoing type you may have to go out of the city for fun because its a very quite city.

ajayidebo:
Good day @justwise. Please I need your opinion on the below mentioned.

We are currently torn in between Kingston upon Hull and Preston, Lancashire. My wife is going to be schooling (MSc), I intend to do the hustling in order to complement. Plus we have a two-year-old daughter. I am just trying to find a balanced place in terms of jobs and affordable cost of living.

What do you think?

Thanks

Lancashire is a county but there are two universities in that county..university of central lancashire and Lancaster University, Lancaster University is very very good university followed by Hull, Hull has low cost of living but not too many job opportunities, Lancaster will be relatively high in terms of cost of living but student jobs will not be an issue

Onyxfidel1:
Good morning house

Please I want to know if is an issue, coz the address in my tuberculosis is different from the address in my visa application.

Any issues with that

No its not an issue at all

Dazeey042:
@justwise please is Northampton a good place when it comes to part time jobs and living expenses?

Also do you recommend campus accommodation or off campus?

Northampton is a good city to live, i have a friend who recently moved to that city purely because of cheaper cost of living and housing, getting part time job will not be an issue

Private accommodation all the way...student accommodation is way too expensive for the value it offers.

DeeOneBangin:
Justwise which city would you consider living in between Manchester, Leeds & Sheffield. You might wanna give one or two reasons.

Manchester is a very big city with affordable cost of living, there are more job opportunities in Manchester than Leeds and Sheffield. Leeds is London of Yorkshire , lively, big student community, good transportation hub and about 45mins away from Manchester.

Sheffield is big as well with two big universities,a well known shopping centre and two football clubs.

Job opportunities in Sheffield will not be as much as Manchester and Leeds

My preference will be Manchester-Leeds then Sheffield

All three cities have good transportation network and not far from each other.

Their universities are well ranked as well.

Myrage2:
@justwise, can you answer this pls.

Yes and you can also apply for another masters in another field and back it up with written explanation

Cyberknight:
Regarding the reality of life in oboodo oyibo, of course it is not easy. Anyone with an ounce of common sense should have disabused themselves of that land of milk and honey fantasy that is so rooted in the Nigerian mind for some reason. But as long as you plan carefully, inform yourself in detail and jettison all preconceived notions, you will be on the right track to making a way for yourself.

Firstly, as some have said, you might want to explore other locations other than London as your landing point. I'm particularly fond of Manchester myself. Birmingham is also another option. Simply for cost of living reasons, if your supply of pounds-converted-from-weak-naira isn't where it should be (advisable you budget for at least 6 months living costs with nothing coming in to give you a good buffer). But that's subjective.

Prepare yourself to take some quick online courses for a minimum wage care job/supermarket customer assistant/door supervisor security guard, that sort of thing. Minimum wage really means minimum wage here and as a single man with no children and good focus, you can live on what you earn from a couple of shifts a day, even after HMRC has taken its share, if you earn enough for that, unlike in Nigeria where 30k takes you nowhere. Get yourself a pair or two of sturdy shoes and be prepared to walk everywhere within reason (thank God for Google Maps, when we first came one had to carry about folding paper maps which I never really learnt how to manage properly). If you don't already know how to cook, learn to do so fast. After the novelty of sampling a few things in oyibo land you've heard about or seen on tv, bring out those pots and pans and start to peel your own potatoes. Food is cheap here and there is price stability, so its easy to plan.

Harden your mind and avoid succumbing to retailmania - some of the prices and "deals" you see might seem too juicy to pass up, but if you don't, before long you'll end up with closets full of stuff you realise you're not really using and will eventually evacuate to Nigeria. Avert your eyes and walk past. It really is possible for human life to exist with a couple of pairs of jeans and shoes and 2 jackets for variable weather. Shop around for deals on grocery prices, get loyalty cards immediately you land, find your nearest Aldi or Lidl, bear in mind that your old phone, laptop, etc. do not stop working automatically when you come to the UK from Nigeria, keep on using them.

Be prepared to retrain, find some of those online courses to take (hopefully one that will give you access to a student card, another ticket to unlocking discounts), keep your head down, keep slogging with determination, avoid Nigerians in many numbers, file away home people's automatic demands in a WCP (when circumstances permit) folder and you should be fine.

..that is very important and you also have to choose Nigerian church you want to attend very carefully.

We Nigerians are our own worst enemies in some cases

illocution:
Good morning all.

Please between Sunderland, Wolverhampton and Middlesbrough which is best for international students in terms of living expenses and part time jobs? I really need help deciding as I have unconditional admission from Teeside uni, Uni Sunderland and Uni Wolverhampton.

Help a brother please. @Justwise and other experienced people the house your advice please.

I have never lived in any of those cities but given the choice i will consider Wolves first then Sunderland..Middlesbrough.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Nigerians, Zimbabweans and Mozambicans are the most prominent law breakers

They top list of foreigners in jail in South Africa

That is not the point, South Africans hates other Africans, some South African men are like Zimbabweans , lazy, only got time for drink, drug and spend the rest of their time complaining about foreigners who they accused of taking their jobs and women

AfriqueDuZuid:
LOL lier

I’m lying? About what exactly?

AfriqueDuZuid:
No secrete to who?

Have you been to South Africa?

I've been to Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon Botswana, Namibia Lesotho, Morocco etc

Yes I have been to South Africa in fact we were robbed, the whole bus and items we bought stolen.

I lived and studied in Zimbabwe for some years. So I’m not stranger to South African’s treatment of other Africans.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Grow and develop your own stop moaning about others

Saying this in 2021 shows how little you know about history.

People have always travel for several reasons including Europeans and Americans despite their wealth and developed economies you still see them moving to other countries for Job.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Who was killed? Any starts of people being killed?

Vile are people who travel 5000 km to a place only to sell drugs, do human trafficking, scams etc

No South African goes to Nigeria and do crime

This is not about just Nigerians and their crimes in SA, SA in general have issues with other African immigrants especially those who are doing well. I couldn’t careless how Nigerian drug dealers and scammers are treated, but it’s no secret that South Africans are not friendly to other African immigrants including those who are not known for their crimes.

BELUSHI:
I have about N16M in my account for over 28 days now. This will be enough for maintenance for family of 4(main applicant inclusive). I am expecting another N10m into my account . Can I just pay the balance of my tuition fees from the fresh deposit and proceed to the visa applications without waiting for another 28 days once my CAS is been issued?

Yes

johnsonsegxy:
Question 1: Can i print 6 months statement?

Question 2: I have about 15milli in my account for the past 7 months and i am applying for a 3 years study visa.... i. e 32 months is the full duration of study (September 2021- May 2024.) My school fee is 13200 pounds per year. At least this 15 million covers the a year and 6 months (school fee + maintenance fee). Is this amount enough to convince the VO?

You need to show only one year school fees and maintenance money, print only 28days or max 30days bank statement.

All the info you need is in the link you quoted
