There's no disadvantage. My son paid half of his fees as deposit and I know someone from this forum who paid in full. And even recieved a thank you message from the school for doing so.
So it's your choice.

Thank you so much for this

Newbie123:
Please I'd like to know if there's any disadvantage of paying more than the required deposit before getting to the UK.

I wanted to pay half or full tuition but a friend said I shouldn't until I get to the UK

Good morning MR justwise
Good morning everyone
PLS READ for your safety

Please let’s be careful with who we chat/ send mail for Tier4 enquiry , he will now send u one of his number to chat him up and starts requesting for video calls with d excuse that he doesn’t like audio just to track ur face , and he likes to deviate from important conversation
, go to talking plenty rubbish later wards , be careful When you chat this guy ( ELVIS FRUIT his WhatsApp number ending 090…..2163
He was angry I told him I paid to another university.

I choose not to be his friend or talk to him cos I perceived violence when he talks , he always demanding for video calls when I want to make enquiry from him as if I am his lover . I only chatted him when I saw he said he has done PCI ( January Intake ) , just for me to make Enquiry about the Ulster university, I regret saying a word to him.

HE GETS SO ANGRY WHEN I DONT PICK HIS VIDEO CALLS OR CUT HIM SHORT ON VIDEO CALLS .
He will start sending abusive words to trigger my anger all the time , even wen I try to make peace and tell him am not interested in his nonsense that I only want info of his university since he has done PCI .

He is higher killer and Assasin ooo that is what he is going to ULSTER to do . Imagine a full grown man moving to UK to constitute nuisance.in 2022 , instead of building a new life , and he claim to have been in Germany ( I guess prison ) that is why he is going to Uk after constituting nuisance in Germany , he has stained Germany now he wants to stain UK with blood

He is going to Ulster university January intake , I guess he left this february, that is if he has left to UK

THIS IS THE MAIL HE sent after I blocked him on WhatsApp

I also screen shot the mail

Okay, I was just playing around with this uk admission thing and I applied to a school sometime last month . After a week , I received an email on something they called ‘conditional offer’ and they requested for my official waec result . I was kinda reluctant but I just summoned courage, went to ikorodu and pick up my waec transcript . Uploaded it on the school portal and I just checked the portal now is says I have been given an unconditional offer for sept intake . School fees is £14,000 and deposit required is £1,000 . Please does that mean I have been given admission? I didn’t submit more than my passport and waec result oo. Please I need answer .

Something wey people wey apply since last year dey fin. E reach your turn you use play collect am in wan week with only passport and waec

Congrats jare

I've been waiting for this new thread!

This is the thread I get to type VISA ALERT!!!

LuchiBianca:
This people play too much.i think they mean payslips.

Hi sis, please I DMed you

A bit of tip....Look for school with lesser school fees, affordable city and go for Jan admission.

Jan starts have longer visa duration and holiday, so you will have 2 summer holidays while Sept starts have one and shorter visa duration.

Look for schools with such time table...it will be outlined on their websites

Thanks this insight

I know a guy way back in 2009 who enrolled on a 1 year course in London. He only paid a deposit for his tuition from Nigeria and had the intention to work to pay off the balance. He worked legally and illegally in London, and paid off the balance of the fees. However, he ended up failing the course and also failed the resits as he had no time and energy to study. He has been living illegally in London since 2011 when his visa expired.

It's much better to pay all the tuition fees upfront, and then work to pay accommodation and bills. It still wouldn't be easy and your final grade would get hammered, but at least, you don't stand a risk of getting kicked out of your course and your visa being curtailed.

Thanks alot.

I really appreciate all the responses

I would say face your studies squarely, coming from a science background, Cell Biology and Genetics, University of Lagos worked for a big telecom company in Lagos, started my MSc Business with Business Analytics, Sept 2020, Northumbria University graduated Nov 2021, with a distinction, a mother of 2 boys. I moved with my family, the plan was to finish and apply for the PSW but my Husband got sponsored by the Telcoms company he was working for, he is a Specialist Engineer. I am currently working for Amazon as a Process Analyst.

My take is, do not deviate from the purpose.

Duly noted. Thanks

Nothing is impossible but it’s impossible for you to pull that off.

You have only 4months of summer holiday to work full time, to hit your target you to be taking home at least £2800 net monthly for that 4months then when you are back to school you return to 20hrs which may take care of your rent , bills and feeding.

Thanks Justwise

justwise:
How much is the school fee per year?

15k

LagosismyHome:
The biggest problem is that legally you can only work 20hours a week term time and 40 hours holiday time....... that 20hours will just about get you rent and living expenses. To gather rent, living expenses then full tuition from 20hours is extremely difficult

If you go ahead and work more than 20hours then it possible to gather more but you will be robbing Peter to pay Paul because later during visa renewal your NI can flag up and it becomes a major problem so choose your battles wisely. Life after been a student is just as important as student days

True true. Thanks for your input. Duly noted

AirBay:
Chief, if you're coming with a dependant, yes it's possible.

If you're single, don't try it, unless you want to break the visa rules. You can work to pay your house rent and feeding. If you have a back up in 9ja, you can go ahead.

Speaking from personal experience.

Wow. This is noted too. Thanks

This is one topic I notice people are always careful to talk about and I think it is because it causes lot of arguments. Justwsie didn’t give up when he was called different names in one of the 2019 debate.

As a brother I will say, it is not going to be easy. But very possible. Nothing is impossible in life again. Also I think a 3year program may not be as choked as a 1year program, so maybe there will be time to work and still give attention to your studies.

Question for you to ask yourself are:

1. How good are you in the area you are studying. If you have good knowledge then classes and projects won’t take you time to complete. But if it’s a new area or an area you are not so good at, it will be very difficult and possibly depressing.

2. How much is the fees in questions. If the fees are much, then you will have to work more hours. Remember have just 20hrs a week term time and possibly be placed under minimum wage (or even lesss).

3. How good are you in multitasking? Some people are not nice in groups, some will frustrate you with their over-sabi, while some won’t fail to report to the lecture that your contribution is not adequate. Can you keep up with both requirements?

I think there are more questions others will add.

In all, it’s all about your drive and what you want in life. Like I said nothing is impossible anymore on earth. Not even with short vacation trip to other planets by Elon and Jeff.

Thank you soooooo much for this. I haven't thought of this from this angle ☺️.

Would wait to hear from others but in the meantime, i'l brood over this.

Thanks again

Hi Newbie

You have to pay your tuition deposit and 3 years IHS and run your POF and run your daily prayers

You don’t have to pay full tuition

I know. Just asking if it's something that can be done...2 years isn't easy let alone paying for 3 years

Newbie123:
Guys please can anyone speak to studying a 3 year course in the UK?

If you have 80-100 percent of the first year fees prior to resumption, what would it be like working to pay off the remaining 2 years?

Thanks

Any answer/advice?

Aprokodaughter:
As una dey pay school fees when dem never give una cas.

Thought a deposit is mandatory for cas to be issued?

donogaga:
I wouldn't know.

Four of my colleagues are in this terrible situation. It's crazy.

Sad

donogaga:
Teesside University has really messed up big time.

A lot of students were not issued CAS and they are supposed to resume this January. Crazy experience for a lot of applicants.

Please, kindly do your "due deligence" before applying for admission.

Don't just think because perhaps the tuition fee is cheap and again it's a two year program then you fine. It doesn't work that way often.

When it comes to issuance of CAS, some schools are just terrible. I really feel for those that are affected my the inability of Teesside to issue CAS at this present time, even after paying Tuition deposit and meeting all the requirement. How sad.

Will they be refunded fully?

Chreze:
You can ask your questions here, no body judges anyone and the good thing is no one knows each other personally (I believe).

Well I attended dundee interview for adult nursing. One thing I would advise is to be your selves watch the video and jot down what you observe according to NMC code of conduct. Mine was a group interview and it wasn’t hard. Remember to be natural and project you’re a caring person that posses all the C’s of a nurse.

Best of luck to you dear

Hi Nalai,

Please how do you intend to cope with paying tuition for 3 years? That's my fear or did you claim the RPL?

Rapture07:
Hi guys.
Pls for those that applied for nursing and were scheduled for interview and passed it, can you pls share on possible questions being asked, and another helpfully tips.
Thanks

Please which school are you scheduled to have interview with?

Icesnow:
I'm hearing this for the first time. Can anyone please confirm this statement?

Not true

captainhoo:
It has been mentioned here that one cannot practise nursing with only Masters in nursing (the first degree must be in nursing too).
Just to let you know

I actually know 4 people who got admission to study Nursing. 3 of them studied art or business courses and no they didn't have any experience or a first class or 2.1

I also never mentioned my background

Hi gurus in the house,

Please I have observed that 95% of students who apply to study any form of Nursing in the UK also apply for Social Work.....including me.

Right now, I'm in a dilenma and I've been soul searching and trying to gather information on the internet to be able to make an informed decision. A lot of people don't really talk about Social Work prospects in the UK compared to Nursing which even a child knows about

So I'm posting so students who are ALREADY STUDYING Nursing or Social Works and also those who have graduated and are now NURSES and SOCIAL WORKERS can please through more light on things like...

Their experiences while studying
Their friend's experience studying the other course
Job prospects especially Tier 2 sponsorship because that is also why we're spending the little we have to pursue a masters abroad
If you had to redo it, would you choose the same course?
General advice?

I know I'm not the only one on this soul searching journey.

Yes on surface level, it's tempting to say choosse Nursing but remember that lots of people have gotten fraustrated along the line and are cooling off in jail or have lost their pin because of a costly mistake that could have been avoided years ago. It's not always about the money. Youtube is filled with people who drop out midway or switch so it would be nice to hear from people here which is the beauty of Nairaland. Personal undiluted experience

So what do you do when you have a passion for both?

Hoping to read from you all. BIg thanks

Chrishertz8:
SU and NU was suppose to be for this January

Oh I see

Chrishertz8:
Stirling University
Northampton University
Buckinghamshire University
Swansea

Hmm. Did you check some of these schools well?

Swansea doesn't accept international students for that course.

SU, NU are January 2023 intakes or is that what you're aiming for?

Also applied to Bucks but haven't heard anything

Chrishertz8:
Pls what course did you do for undergraduate and which school is giving you social work with scholarship? Is it full scholarship?
I have been trying to get social work to no avail, I studied tourism and hospitality management for undergraduate.
Thanks as I await your response

Studied Nutrition. Dundee offered me 5k scholarship but the fee is still high 15k. Many schools increased their fee this year. The thing is tiring

What schools did you apply to
