Hello guys...
Pls I have been trying to apply to some schools recently but yet to achieve my aim. I have a first degree in biological sciences.

Pls any useful information on a suitable institution and health related course will be appropriated.
@ frank, lekibobo et al pls help a newbie
Hi

Even though admissions are competitive, at times applicants need to do some evaluation that can help position him or her as a competitive and strong candidate for some of these admission and schools

That being said,

Do you have a 2.1 or 2.2?

What year did you graduate ? (TO ADDRESS STUDY GAPS)

Did you have a strong GPA like 70% upward in your last two years in the University e.g your 400 Level and 500 Level if it's a five year undergraduate degree?

Are you working ? if yes, what type of job and what are your job duties (to see if your Job relates to your field of study)

Sorry for not replying earlier loads of stuff going on
Based on your not long Study Gap and your work experience, you have two choices here

Either you go for something related to your degree
E.g PG. Cert in Financial Planning, Marketing, Accounting , Finance, Business Management etc. at a college


or

you go for something related to your work experience e.g
PG. Cert in User Experience (UX) design, Digital Product Design at a college

You welcome

You might likely get the admission (admission ain't a problem) but during your Study Visa application, a Visa Officer will likely see no career progression in this path you wanna follow cos you have an HND which is higher than a Diploma ,going for a Diploma is a Lower Academic Progression and that's a red flag on your study visa application, you have to go for something higher that's why a PG. Cert is the best shot for you.

You can go for PG.Cert BUSINESS MANAGEMENT if it's the business line that interests you

As an HND holder you are qualified to apply for a PG.CERT (Post Graduate Certificate program) in Canadian Colleges. Loads of HND holders on this platform have gotten PG.Cert admissions at Canadian Colleges.

To get possible PG. Cert programs and colleges offering your program, answer the following questions

- What did you study?

- What year did you graduate? (to address study gaps)

- Are you working? IF YES, how many years now?

- Is your work related to what you study for your HND?

I don't think Marketing is offered at PGD level in Canadian Universities. It's either Masters in the Universities or PG.Cert (Post Graduate Certificate) at colleges

Good day, Mr Anon123.

Thanks for the professional advice that you continuously give to applicant free of charge, May God bless you richly.

I am a graduate of Chemistry, Second class lower.
My career path in the last ten years has been more of Site supervision and management.

From the Nairaland thread, I realized that the preferred program to go for is a two years PGD.

I have checked more than 50 colleges and still counting to search for colleges that have PGD in chemistry related courses, the best fit so far are the 2 colleges stated below:

(1) Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Kwantlen University College)
Admission requirement :
The Technical Management and Services (TMAS) program is designed for emerging technical professionals who have competed a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a technical program such as applied sciences or information technology
Url: https://calendar.kpu.ca/programs-az/business/technical-management-services/

(2) Lambton college
Admission Requirements
A university degree in Science, Pharmacy or Engineering with appropriate preparation in Maths and Chemistry
Url: https://www.lambtoncollege.ca/custom/LambtonApps/Programs/International.aspx?id=2147510964&location=Toronto

Please should i expand my search to include business or management program based on my Site supervision and management role,
Or which other PGD program should I include in my search?


Thanks for your support and prompt response.
Hi,

Due to your Site supervision and management 10 years work experience, there is no academic nor career progression going for a Chemistry related program. A Visa Officer will/might likely see this as a red flag in your Visa Application. A Visa Officer will expect you to go for a Program related to your work experience.

It's better for you to go for a PG.CERT program related to your Site Supervision and Management work experience, that shows a career progression

PG. Cert in
- Construction Management
- Project Management
- Construction Project Management
are good options for you


Since you will be going for a Program not related to your degree, but related to your work experience, go through the contents in the link below

I graduated last year sept with HND in Accounting, cgpa of 3.33 and till date I have less than 8 month working experience as an accountant.

Do your research on each school to know the tuition amount of the program for international students so as to know if it's cheap or not.

Reach out to the international and Admission office of each school via mail to know if their admission is still open for FALL 2022 or not

Thanks as always Leki. Always coming to our rescue.
1. Her cgpa is out of 4.
2. Her last two years gpa was 2.6/4.0.
3. She did not get a supervisor first. She just applied.
4. She sent both a chinese and english transcript to the school.

She is currently confused on what course to take considering her educational background and future job opportunities in maple land.
Ok

Many things might have caused her not to get the admission

As required by the department the Pol. Science faculty

- Her last two years might not be enough (70% upward )

- Her Statement of intent (also known as SOP for admission) might not be convincing enough. They require 70-75% GPA in her last two years in the University.

- Her writing sample in English might not be dope enough etc.

- Her not securing a supervisor before applying can be part of why she didn't get the admission

- It's possible the admission committee of uvic didn't see course prerequisites that can make her good a fit (eligible) for a Masters in Political Science

- Competition as well with others etc.

As it is said on Uvics website, she needs to secure a supervisor before applying for the admission, cos most of these Canadian Universities, securing a Prof. makes the application of an applicant solid and it's usually a requirement for a thesis-based Masters in Canada

Your niece know her strengths and areas she has ability in. She needs to seat down and do research on the area or areas she knows within herself that she has potentials, Strength in as related to her undergraduate background.

Due to what she studied in China, She might want to consider the likes of

Masters in Economics

Masters in Accounting

Masters in Finance

MBA

Masters in Insurance

Masters in Marketing

Masters in International Relations with research focus on Economics or International trade

Await additional suggestions from others

Please what do you suggest that I do now? Getting admission letter means I'll have a very little time to get a VISA.
And like how much should I have in mind to spend sir?
Yes...

In my own suggestion, go for a Program that starts WINTER 2023 (January) and apply for it, that will allow you more time for the admission and Visa Processing, cos if your target is FALL 2022, you might not meet up, getting admission can take some time, visa processing needs enough time as well, it can take months.

For How Much You gonna need,

Check the program you want to study and look for the TUITION AMOUNT of that program for INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, then you need to have a minimum of $10,000 Canadian dollars (CAD) for your One year Living expenses.

Once you know your tuition amount as an international student, add it to that 10K CAD , then you will know the total amount of money you gonna need

Probably....

The thing is ,Canada don't really care about Degrees (degree don't count) it's your skill set, work experience they want, and a PG. Cert program at a college will offer you that cos you will be taught industry-based, hands-on Experience concepts that will e required by most firms, companies. You will be taught very little theory.

In terms of Job in Canada, they hire more College graduates for Jobs than those with Masters, PHD

Please we are looking for a university that van offer admission in masters or PGD in art related programs with her 2:2 in British Columbia


Please if u have answer to my question don't ignore. Thanks
Hi

Her chances of getting an admission into a university is slim cos the minimum requirement to do a Masters in Canada is a 2.1.

She should go for a PG. Cert program in a College in a program related to her field or a Program she can apply/tailor her field to.

In her best interest, she shouldn't be too specific about a Province, what if the college in British Columbia don't have a PG.Cert program related to her Academic Background.

To me I feel she can/should go for Journalism and this is the reason why. She should take her time and go through all contents in the link below and see why and how
