I want to apply for masters scholarships overseas in 2021 and I don't have a clue on where to start from.

It will be nice to connect with others who have the same ambition. We could create a group chat to motivate each other and share information.

If you're a beneficiary of a scholarship program, you could also join, so we learn from your insights and tutelage.

Please don't ignore. Thank you

So, today I went for the Pfizer vaccine with 95% efficacy, rather than the dodgy 'Oxford' vaccine with only 70% questionable efficacy. 2020 has been a sheee-it year and thankfully it will be over soon.

Chuukwudi:
Do 2 years Masters
Get 2 years post study visa.
This is legit 4 years...


On your 2rd year of post study visa, you apply for another. If it's Master's, you have 2 years for study plus another two years... Post study visa.

If you decide to do PhD, you will have 3 years post study visa instead of 2.

This will be running into legit 8 to 9 years

You might want to get married and be your wife's dependant.

The post-study period doesn't count towards settlement.

If you or your wife are less than 31, 3 years experience, can score high in ielts, have a masters or bsc plus a diploma/ certificate. You are good to go. If you dont have those things you may need to learn french and write French test too. Read read read and also watch YouTube video

@justwise and every other contributors, I am now in the UK. Thanks for all your supports. I am grateful. May Almighty continue to be with you. Words alone can't express how grateful I am. Thank you all.

Hi guys,

I know this request is a little bit off but I will be resuming in Bournemouth University by next month for my Masters Degree. I am self sponsored and with the situation of things right now especially with corona virus, I know it might take me up to 3months to fully settle or get myself.

So I would be happy if any Nigerian abroad can help me with this budget or better still help me look for a way to get an accommodation which is not more than 200 pounds per month.

I will be glad if anyone comes through for me�

LegitBoyy:
Yeah but economic realities from then is different now plus my parents are my sponsors. E get as e be shaa

@justwise @lexusg430 I need your thoughts.
A friend came to the UK on a Tier 4 visa in September and was randomly applying for some permanent roles to test the water and see how employable he is. Now he’s got a company that has the ability to sponsor him on a T2.
Is it possible to switch visa completely before the 3 months to the end of course rule? If he’s able to combine work and school, can he continue with the masters program while working full time on the Tier 2 visa?

I believe if we are good and honest at what we do then time will help us change the narrative of preference.......

but if we come and focus on negative things such as how to cheat the system, and many other nonsense then hey........ The ball is in our hand.

Sadly there still some many bad eggs among the good eggs due to years of wrong orientation in naija. Even little thing such as student visa , I read some things our people do with agents and just smh, a lot lie when there even no reason for that

RalphJean:
This statement is CATEGORICALLY untrue.
There is ABSOLUTELY no evidence to back it up.

The Only 'evidence' is that it was happening by virtue of the UK being a member of the EU.
I can prove that I had previously been denied a job (which I was more than qualified for) because I hold a Nigerian Passport.
What no one can prove is that EU citizens will ALWAYS get preferential treatment post-Brexit.

icon8:
See reasoning
If you really believe that, then you’re certainly suffering from inferiority complex of the first degree.
Do you also believe that EU citizens are and will always be better than you, simply because of your ethnic background?
Abeg, take your self-defeatening outlook outta here!

LagosismyHome:
The EU was created to give preference to member state over other nationalities so what wrong with Nigerians wanting to have the same preference with a fellow Immigrant.

EU immigrant and Nigerian immigrants, all na migrant . Time will tell if UK will strive now that it's out of the EU. I believe they would continue to strive and do well independently...... forget about stats or polls . Those are not always accurate

And if that creates a more level playing field for my people then why not.....

First of all, I really want to thank you all for the selfless work being done here, Is only God that can reward u with great blessing.
Secondly, I would like to ask that can married couple apply separately for tier 4 visa wife and husband would be going for bsc degree and MSC respectively?. Like my earlier post that I posted I wrote that I would love to pursue a degree in Nursing, but I dont know which one to choose either bsc or msc but I was advised that I wont be able to practise back home If i go with msc pre registration. So we have made a conclusion that both should apply differently because I dont want marriage to affect my dream vice versa.
So my question is can we apply differently as an independent applicant? Thank you .

Hello,
@justwise, @mimilyrics I am here for advice. I am already in the UK for my PGCE course and i must confess it's really tedious. I never expected the the degree of shock I'm still in and i miss my family so much.
I was about commencing the dependant visa when a thought struck me, i thought it would be better i invite my family to come visit instead since i have barely 8 months on my visa and the cost implications aren't comparable . Although, they can still do the dependant route but i prefer they don't spend so much on visa and IHS.
I also thought to have my husband's niece come over to help with the kids. I would have preferred going home but i can't due to the nature of my course, it runs alongside the sec school calendar and breaks are averagely 2weeks before the Summer holiday.
Can i please get opinions, i don't want to complicate their application. I terribly miss home and it's having a toll on my mental health.
Thank you.

Hello,
I already responded, check your mail.

She didn't give any consent - written or verbal

I wouldn't know the type of visa he applied for but I know he's not a citizen

He has relatives in the UK

Adurami040517:
I understand the pain of this woman, but she needs to thread with caution so as not to jeopardize the advantages this kids will have over there compared to what is obtainable here, it won't be nice for this kids to get banned from entering the UK based on if their dad lied about the consent letter.

AltCtrlDel:
Pls what would you advise or what step can she take? I've gotten her to put up the story on Nairaland and Twitter. The topic is currently on the front page but no meaningful submission.

She has informed the police too but they are demanding for money before they will act

TheGuyFromHR:
There are no real benefits for the UK's leaving the EU, because generally the UK gave up the benefits of a huge free trade area for less than it already had. It was an emotional move, not an economic one.
As for any disadvantages, if you have no business with the Continent and as you have just arrived, you will not notice anything, there will possibly be some price rises here and there to absorb the consequences of all those border checks, most disadvantages will take time to show, but there are no advantages whatsoever.

AltCtrlDel:
No she didn't. Nothing like that. But I read somewhere consent is not needed for a husband traveling to the UK with children but it is mandatory for women.

AltCtrlDel:
Thanks. Since November 13,2020

I’ve literally been begging everyone I know in Nigeria (skilled professionals, of course!) to make relocating to the UK their priority in 2021. It’s high time they gave cold and snowy Canada a break and give UK a chance. Opportunities here would be massive in 2021, from PSWV to HSMP.

I predict a massive brain drain and mass exodus of EU professionals, which would lead to opportunities for suitably qualified non-EU citizens, including high flying Nigerians.

AltCtrlDel:
I don't know if this is the right thread to do this but I'm typing this with teary eyes. My cousin's husband absconded to the UK with thier 3kids leaving her in Nigeria. They've been having some marital issues in their 11years marriage.

Pls what can she do? Is there any authority in the UK she contact? Can she report to the UK Embassy in Nigeria? Pls help she's almost running mad
