Hey guys, I have a couple of questions. I would love answers and clarifications.

1. My campus is University of Greenwich, Medway Campus, my family stays in Samford, Totthenham. The journey is about 1hr 15mins by train. Can I stay in tottenham and school in Medway.

2. Average transport cost per day if I stay in tottenham is 25 pounds, in terms of expenses, will renting an apartment reduce my expenses?

3. Will I have to show maintenance for Inner London or Outside London now, since I will be leaving in Inner London while my school campus is outside london.

4. the names on my waec is different from all other documents of mine, same name but little difference in spelling, should i be worried and will an affidavit suffice?
1. Depends if u will be going to uni everyday or few days a week. Check Airbnb in Medway and compare prices.

2. Check for rooms and compare prices

3. The calculation will be done using the location of ur uni Campus, if the campus falls outside london then outside london maintenance fees will be used

4. To avoid stories that touch, get affidavit

MsChidi:
Hi everyone,

While going through my documents, I realized that I was able to get a letter of recommendation from my undergrad HOD since 2008. Is it possible to submit it for my postgrad application? It’s been difficult to obtain another letter of recommendation.

Also, in the place of absence of certificate, can I submit my statement of result?

I have been trying to get my certificate and letter of recommendation since May, to no avail as teaching & non-teaching staff are not available in the school premises.

Apply for provisional license from DVLA website £50

Buy the official DVSA theory test kit in App Store I think it’s £4.99 and start practising for your theory test. Get familiar with all the questions on there and you are rest assured to pass it easily

Find driving instructors in ur area to start practical lessons. Most of them give discount for new drivers you can find as cheap as 3 lessons for £50

or if u have someone with a FULL license for more than 3 years and over 21years old, they can teach you provided you buy an “L” plate and stick on the car.

You don’t have to pass ur theory before u start taking lessons.

assumpta1:
Hello my people. I know it has been discussed several times here and I’ve been searching all afternoon but I can’t locate the information I need. I need to start driving lessons. How do I go about it? I know I should do theory first. I will appreciate any information that would make passing the tests easy for me. Thank you.

1. Do you have to get transcript by hand to send to them or send it separate from my other documents?

You can attach a scanned copy to the application if required

2. Should I get a letter from Medical Science Council of Nigeria or Just include evidence of my registration with the body?

Get details of someone from MLSCN to use as reference. They will contact this person or the organisation to confirm your registration with them. Email addresses MUST be official emails as they don’t accept personal email. You could also get a reference letter from the association to support your application.

3. Can write I am in English-speaking country or a note from my school?

Since your first degree was taught in English, you can get a letter from your uni to that effect.

Another option is UK NARIC English Language Assessment. It costs £59.40 and will confirm your level of English using your submitted documents/qualifications.

4. What the chances of getting licenced and hence getting job using my B.Sc.?

If you can proof that you are already licensed and working in Nigeria and meet other requirements, it should be smooth sailing. Once you are HCPC registered probability of getting a job from Nigeria is VERY high.

Additionally, you shld apply for UK NARIC statement of Comparability test (costs £60) it will equate ur Nigerian BSc to UK Standard.

Good luck

Biomedical sciences is divided into
- Biochemistry
- Microbiology
- Virology/Immunology
- Cellular Pathology/Histology
- Hematology

You can specialise in any of the above.

RalphJean:
Question is:
What do you want to practice as?
Is there a Profession called ‘Biochemist’ in the HCPC list of professions? I guess no.
You want to practice as Biomedical Scientist?
Then you need to do a ‘top-Up’ in the UK or, you do a Masters in Biomedical Science.

Yes u are right, if u can register with medical lab council in Nigeria that will boost ur chances of getting registered with HCPC. I learnt to register with MLSCN u have to do another 2 years in uni if ur degree wasn’t MLS.

Alternatively, apply for topup modules in the U.K.

Babygal2020:
Hello sir, I'm a microbiologist. I'm not eligible to register. You wrote somewhere that microbiologists may need to do some top up modules to become a biomedical scientist. Then subsequently register for HCPC. Pls put me through

Proposed changes from January 2021

But this is a good initiative, CAS will carry more weight than usual giving the universities the power to “decide”.

Going by these, we might see more of English language exam requirements.

Those who will be in the U.K. when the changes start, it means u wouldn’t need to show proof of fund when reapplying from within UK and the maintenance finds looks fair

Rotimi89:
Uk is ready to take their students back from us and Canada.
No more capping on studying. No more maintenance for students already inn doing another program. You can come inn 6 months before course start. And above all 2 yrs post work.

Great opportunity my pple.

This is why it’s advisable to go slightly above the oanda rate for ur Acct balance. For example if oanda rate is 502, I’d use 510 just to be on the safe side.

Also I think they use the exchange rate of the date u submit ur application so it might be worth printing the oanda exchange rate page for that day even though it’s optional

My Ables,
Oanda exchange rate is fast approaching 500. Please, for some of us with 28days already running with an estimated rate of 500, what do we do if paradventure the rate swings more than in days ?

I was gonna challenge you about avoiding Aston but I realised you said it’s your personal preference.

However, I share similar sentiment about Alum Rock but there are some nice/cheap places in Perry Barr and Aston area.

Handsworth, Winson green, Jewellery quarters are also close to the town centre and have good rents, restaurants, night clubs,food stores etc.

Walsall, Dudley and Wolverhampton are also very close to Birmingham and are relatively cheaper than Brum

abubarakat:
I presently live in Birmingham.

These are some of the nice places I know in Birmingham: Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, Erdington, Edgbaston, Marston Green, Fiveways etc.

These are the places I would personally avoid: Aston, Alum rock, Newtown etc

It's quite big to be fair, so it will be difficult to have an exhaustive list.

TuniLove:
The information below may be of benefit to someone.


Good morning

Thank you for your email.

A deposit can be paid at any time but we can only issue a CAS up to 3 months before the start date of your course.

For the January 2021 intake, we will start issuing CAS in late October, exact date to be confirmed, but not before 26th of that month at the earliest. We will start asking students for their bank statements to be provided from about the second week of October onwards.

This is because any bank statement you use as financial evidence must be dated within 1 month of your subsequent visa application. This also gives us time to check the bank statements, which we need to do before we issue the CAS.

As an example, if your bank statement was dated 30 September (showing the money has been held for the previous 28 days), this statement could only be used for a visa application up to 30 October, not beyond that date.

There is no guarantee that we can issue CAS from 26 October so this does not give you much time to get everything ready to make your visa application by 30 October. It would perhaps be better to have a statement dated from the second week of October onwards as this gives time to make any amendments required and leaves a good amount of time for the statement to be used for visa application after the CAS is issued.

It is best to use the same bank statement for your CAS and your visa application. We check it meets the standards set by the United Kingdom Visa Immigration service (UKVI), who ultimately process your visa.

We have had students in the past who used different statements than those they originally sent to us and ended up with a visa refusal because they did not meet the requirements.

Obviously, everything depends on the ever changing response to the pandemic in the UK but hopefully things will be back to normal by then.







I printed my statement on 14th July
Got my CAS on 24th July
Submitted my visa application on 26th July.
Got biometric date of 3rd September.
Teesside University wrote on my CAS letter that i should apply with same statement within 31days from the day i printed it which i have done and uploaded.
Since my biometric is on 3rd September, will i require to print another on my biometric day?
NO!!!

Do you have any work experience in Nigeria? If yes why not do degree assessment, topup module online then apply with HCPC direct. That way you can apply for jobs even from Nigeria once u are HCPC registered. You don’t necessarily need a MSc to secure a job!!!

Bolded is misleading and confusing

mentored:
To be honest I don’t really know other schools who accept Nigerian O level results directly to year one apart from Coventry.

You can always send them (Other schools)an email to inquire though.

For old waec, if you are above 25yrs, I won’t advise you to apply for an undergraduate course. But if you are 25 and below, you can scale through with sound personal statement and proper guidance

I hope the above helps.
