In summary, toyclicks: Look for experience. You are only as valuable as the value you can give. If you can, work while you’re in school. It is better to graduate with an extra year and have work experience than to graduate without experience. |

There are more jobs in Biomedical Sciences. A Biomedical Scientist can work in: - Histology - Haematology - Virology - Microbiology - Biochemistry - Molecular Biology Bioinformatics is restricted to molecular genetics only mamacajah: Okay thanks. So which field has better job opportunities? because we can see bioinformatics with placements (which we think will give the work experience bit)...I am just not sure which has better prospects for getting a job after school? |

Applied biomedical science comes with work experience, the normal one doesn’t Bioinformatics is a different field from biomedical sciences. It’s more with analysing molecular data. So it’s closer to molecular biology/genetics mamacajah: @ omopapa, please could you explain why you advised doing applied biomedical science as against biomedical science..is it more lucrative or preferable for work opportunities? is bioinformatics also in teh same line? thanks for your response

Maybe she got the indefinite leave in a dodgy way and she’s committed in one way or the other (if you know what I mean) Although it’s easier and way cheaper to build a house in Nigeria than in the UK, rent is even cheaper while some live rent free. Mortgage is expensive in the UK and even if you have the money, other factors like your credit score and steady source of income will still be considered. It should be easier for her to bring you over Cus she’s already got her indefinite leave and you being in the UK, shld be a good thing for her as y’all can share the bills and ease the pressure ...but then again, back to my first point... LuvlyIva: Ok lets just pretend as if we don't know that this marriage is in ICU. :- bros I am hoping not at all. Since she got this indenfite leave last year she has bin acting strange, all plans still hanging to join her.
You can compare the UK to Nigeria on individual bases because there are Nigerians who are doing very well than many us here:- please why do you say so that most Nigeria are doing very well than some of u guys in UK? I taught the UK have every good thing in place and their money is strong and their pay is higer than we in Nigeria. Most bankers I know in Nigeria are earning very good money compare to bankers in the UK, please why? Thank you for your response. |

Any university that’s promising to commence lectures in Sept/Oct by attendance is sitting on a tiny string of rope.
First of all, the UK govt just announced that people arriving the UK from any part of the world (apart from Northen Ireland) will be required to self isolate for 14 days.
They are trying to contain the virus within the country hence the decision of when the borders will be opened is yet to be made.
It might sound harsh but personally, I’d open my mind to a possibility of Jan or Sept 2021 (for courses that doesn’t have Jan start) just incase Sept 2020 flops |

Maybe universities shld reduce their tuition by 25% for example and make first semester online but visas should still start counting from second semester and for 18 months mamacajah: one of my schools already changed their resumption to end Sept...doesn't change the fact that first semester would be fully online..... anyway..let's keep our minds open and have an alternative if possible.. if your course is available in another school that normally has Jan start, maybe you can start applying for it.. that's what I want to do now.. |

I need clarification regarding proof of funds for a dependant. I saw online that it is £6,120 (if the Visa will be granted for 9months or more) per dependant but was surprised when a friend in UK told me today that it is £16,320 (2years living cost).

I have received so many pms about this UK teaching stuff and I am always happy to answer the questions here. England is a complicated one to start with.

I can’t help but notice this moniker, don’t mind me I’m Yoruba  [quote author= Oloshi83 post=89435052]I’d suggest you email the Uni and ask them to extend the deadline for the deposit payment. You can’t apply for a visa until mid to late June anyway (for Sept start) so focus on your 28 day proof of funds for now and leave the payment matter until the end of May/June. I’m helping my cousin with his and that’s what we‘re doing. Things should be clearer in a few weeks. It is impossible to say what the Naira is going to do in the coming weeks but it’s difficult to see it going back to 460-470 in a hurry.[/quote] |

Not approved by NMC, yet. https://www.nmc.org.uk/education/approved-programmes/beautyfoch: Good evening house
I came across this phrase "subject to validation" on the course page for Adult Nursing, University of Chester.
Does it mean that the course has NOT been fully accredited by NMC?
I've written to the school for clarifications but no feedback yet.
Any idea on what this means before someone enters one chance of studying unaccredited course..

Not all schools require IETLS, some accept WAEC that’s not over 5 years. You can also get a letter from your uni to confirm that your undergraduate was taught in English. Another alternative which I just discovered is English Language Assessment by UK NARIC. You have to send them your degree certificates and transcript. It’s worth checking belovedtianah: Good day , I have learnt a lot from all the contributions on this thread. Please I’m interested in studying MBA in Uk but it seems IELTS is required by all schools . I currently have IELTS general and don’t want to re-write IELTS academics .

It’s not as easy bro. There are steps to it. First u need to get a statement of comparability from UK Naric to have ur BSc compared with UK standard. Next, you apply to IBMS for degree assessment. They will tell you if you need to do any topup modules Complete the top up modules AFTER your masters Then finally you can start applying for trainee posts to complete ur portfolio. However, trainee posts are VERY VERY competitive and limited so u need to have something extra like experience to stand out. Ways to get experience is majority by volunteering And rmba to get your transcript and course descriptor (document describing what each course you did entails, from 1st year till final year), you will definitely need it along the way. Capitalbase: Bro, I studied Parasitology and Entomology with 4...cgpa in Nnamdi Azikiwe University. So After the Portfolio ishh, I can now get licensed? |
