Lol UK will humble alot of you with high expectations.

£4k/month(net) as take home is £48k/year(net). Do you know how much your gross has to be for you to take that amount home??
Like I said, “Average IT support” who is working normal 37.5haaaaaarrrssss per week. If he run night & weekend shift, he’s surely making more than that. Na you wey know wetin carry you go Uk go know how to double your hustle to pay bills till you stand on your feet gallantly.

One with multiple streams of income won’t even feel it. I have an acquaintance in Manchester charging £1k daily as a business analyst.

All these you wrote won’t matter if you strategize well before leaving naija.

Before embarking on this japa process, I had enquire about cost of living and job opportunities, these pays a high role in considering planning of expenses, before choosing schools in these regions, it not just all about applying to any school, but being strategic about it.


Bottom line is, IF you are an IT professional, that’s serious with his career and has a goal, you will never suffer or regret your movement to UK.

I still don't get it. Why spending this much. Does it worth it?
Well it depends on your career and your goal in life.

An average IT support earns 150k - 250k per month here which practically finishes without savings at the end of the month BUT same IT support can earn as low as £3k - £4 k per month.

Let us assume 50% goes with all expenses including tax, £1,500 - £2,000 balance remaining will make you know this process is worth it when you convert it to Naira @ N780/£ and duly enjoy basic amenities you are been taxed for.

I am looking for a school with a very friendly payment plan and 2000 pounds deposit before CAS is issued. I am looking for a friend who is trying to get a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Please help me with any information that you have.

The friendly installment plan is very important, so if you know a school with friendly installment plan and requires 3000 pounds deposit, please let me know, that would not be bad. Thank you.

After the deposit for CAS, you will still pay 50% of the balance for enrollment.

So I thought until i got here and most employers are requesting for covid-19 pass. Forget about what the site says, alot of business still sees covid-19 as a big deal. Some places like hospitals will ask u to put on your mask before they allow u in.

Besides, like i said.....qatar airline will ask for your vaccination card before allowing u check-in your flight and i am speaking from first hand experience. i don't know about other airlines
Okay. Thanks for the heads up.

khasm:
Please pardon me,
Is it compulsory to be vaccinated before you can travel or leave Nigeria?
igbsam:
you should try to be. cos those who claimed not to be vaccinated were asked to step aside from the line. Besides, here in the UK, if u intend to work, you would need a covid-19 pass to get some jobs. so either way, u still need to be vaccinated.
But according to UK gov site, it's not necessary anymore. So where did you get yours from?

Actually I think being a “FIFO mode”, and each branch has an allocated quota, getting quick response might be subjected to one’s luck at the specific branch you go.

If you chose uba and chose their head office marina branch it will be faster. All other branch will still have to forward it to their head office first. Choosing marina branch is the fastest

Pls am equally interested in this question.
Mablove:
Congratulations to you and yours
Pls how much did you show for POF for your family of 4.

Visa fee and NHS.

I have a family of 4 too and still on the process. This will help me to plan well.
For Applicants

Tuition fee:- Assuming the tuition fee is £16,000

Admission Deposit Fee for CAS:- 2k

Tuition fee balance:- £14,000

Cost of Living (Per month outside London) :- £1,023 * 9 months = £9,127

Total Cost for Applicant = £14,000 + £9,127 = £23,127



For Dependants

Cost of Living (Per month outside London) :- £680 * 9 months = £6,120 * 4 dependants = £24,480


POF
Total Cost for Applicant + Total Cost of Living for all Dependants

£23,127 + £24,480 = £47,607

Using OANDA currency calculator, value in Naira == £47,607 * N560 (Advisable to use this amount instead of N545 on the website in other to factor bank charges and exchange rate flunctuation)

N26,659,920

Your assumptions could be incorrect because you did not factor in the population of the city. Lagos is a coastal city with a massive population that boost economic activities whereas places like Canterbury with a population of around 50,000 or so may not be better than Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester when it comes to employment and opportunities. Even though they are not coastal cities.
Talking of cities with job opportunities and low cost of living, the coastal cities with a lower population still has an edge. Especially if you are an IT professional that can work remotely.

Please I got an offer from the University of Plymouth, but I didn't get any good reviews about the place. I would like to know if there is anyone that can tell me about Plymouth.


Is the location a good place to stay and hustle as I am about to make a deposit?
According to discussions with friends in the UK, the best place with jobs availability is the south side of London and as you can see from the location of Plymouth on the map below, it is a port city located on the south coast of Devon, south-west of London. You can easily get a ship to Paris for vacation. or propose to your babe grin

If not for tuition high costs in some schools, cities like these (Brighton, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Southampton, Canterbury, Colchester) are the best places to school because of job availabilities in the location. If you are coming as a family, let your wife be the applicant, and target these areas as you that will be dependant will get jobs easily and make more cheese cheesy

Just like Lagos. Now imagine the opportunities Lagos economy is benefiting from having the major port entry to Nigeria.


So do your maths cool

Please who has offer from Bolton what is the initial deposit before getting CAS and do I need to pay 50% of my tuition before getting CAS?
Deposit before CAS - £4,500

4months after resumption - 50% of the balance

4months later, - final 50%.

But according to the school representative that I met at the intake study fair, one can always discuss payment terms with the finance department when one resumes.

For Admission
Tuition fee:- 16k
Admission Deposit Fee for CAS:- 2k
Tuition fee balance:- £14,000
Cost of Living per month (outside London) :- £1,023 * 9 months = £9,127

POF
Tuition fee balance + Cost of Living
Total = £23,127

For Visa

IHS Fee
£705

Visa fee
£348

TB Fee
N57,800

I also got the same fee of 14,700 without discount and the offer letter comes with conditions requesting for my waec result which I have wrote to them and expressed to accept my offer.

In the offer letter, there is a part that says one can apply for a scholarship and discount which I have done, hopefully, I get favoured
I wish all UK schools can be straightforward and BOLD on International student fees like the University of Derby
