A good time to repost this especially for people with biological science background


omopapa:
1. Go and apply for your transcript and course description from your uni

2. Apply for MSc applied biomedical sciences (I think Leeds, liverpool, Coventry and Glasgow and some selected unis offer this)

Applied biomedical sciences allows you to do placement while ur studying which gives u experience and will allow u complete registration portfolio to be registered with the HCPC.

3. Without HCPC registration YOU CAN NOT work in NHS labs. NHS is the highest employer of biological science graduates in the country.

Thousand of students graduate yearly without experience and hence finding it hard to get into the NHS labs for jobs. The smart ones are those that did the UNPAID placement while studying and was fortunate enough to be registered with HCPC.

Once u graduate with ur name on the HCPC register and of course the experience U gathered while studying chances of getting a job is 99.9999999%

Or better still apply for nursing degree.

Follow these steps and thank me later �

It’s possible especially mental health nursing.

WhyNa:
Hey guys,

Please help.

My brother has a Bsc in Psychology and was planning to do an Msc Nursing in Hertfordshire, UK.

The school rep says it's possible but some friends who studied there says it's not possible since he doesn't have a background in Nursing.

Please house advice.

hello lovesavvi

The interview is most likely going to be via Skype, if otherwise the university will communicate this to her and rearrange to a more convenient one.

About the interview, she needs to knw about the 5 C’s of nursing; commitment, conscience, competence, compassion and confidence and be able to give example how she will apply each C in her career as a nurse.

She shld read a little bit about the nursing degree at the university of derby incase they ask her “why university of derby”

I’m sure this question has been answered a million times on this thread.

1. Booking.com and select no credit card required for booking

2. After ur booking u will be sent a booking confirmation mail which you can print and attach to your application

Good morning house. Please I have two questions:

1. How can one book for an hotel in the UK? Any link please? Do I have to pay all the amount for the number of days I wish to spend or only a percentage?

Thanks as you answer.

Head office told you so or ur branch

Vittor:
But I was told they weren't contacted neither through mail nor phone calls.
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by omopapa: 9:24am On Feb 01, 2020
I guess bank statement verifications are usually done via the headoffice

Vittor:
Is fixed deposit not allowed?
Because on their site fixed deposits are allowed if you can provide the certificate of deposit..
What do you think?
I thought on verification they meant the bank didn't reply to them via email or calls...so I met with the bank and I was told they weren't contacted by the UK home office...and they agreed they would support me by writing a letter showing that they weren't contacted while going further to write on the genuineness of my fixed deposits and the other bank statement to go along with my administrative review
I also have a case of miscalculation in that my bursary of £1500 from the school was no taken in to consideration as written in my CAS Thus an inflated fee.

Bros, just leave UK for now. Maybe try other countries like dubai, South Africa and other countries with easier immigration.

Concentrate on building ur travel history, business and ties to Nigeria then try again in a year or 2.

If u reapply again, it will be seen as desperation and there’s a very high chance of a third refusal, avoid it.

I don’t knw much about the process but what I do know is:

It is VERY VERY competitive to gain admission into medical school even as a British let alone international student

I know some people that did biological science degree and crossed over to medical school after graduation

And as u might have already been told, It is VERY expensive.

It could be cheaper to study in Nigeria or any other country then write PLAB exams to migrate to the uk after

The uni will give u some time to pay off and you could use the bolded to get some extension.

However, if you fail to meet up with the extension, all access to uni login will be ceased and they will inform the home office.

Except u get someone to squat with, if u are unable to pay for ur accommodation u already knw the outcome of that.

Hi guys,

It’s been a while I posted here. let me share my story with you guys

Arrived Coventry on the 22nd of September 2019 for my MSc. On my arrival, I had already paid £8,000 tuition with a pending balance of £5,300.

Fortunately for me, I wasn't going to be paying for accommodation till January because I was going to be squatting with a friend.

I came into UK with just £1,000. Guys I had to hustle oo, it wasn't an easy ride. Starting working from the 2nd week after I arrived. Registered in like 3 agencies and was working back to back. Don't get it twisted tho, I was still focused with school work, comfortably passed all my 4 modules in my first semester.

All I lacked was a social life and to be honest, that was really frustrating.

Fast forward to January, I’ve paid the school an additional £3,000 with a balance of £2,300 and I’ve now moved out to my En-suite flat which I paid upfront for 3 months.

I'm a bit exhausted at the moment and I really need a break but hey....I just have to keep pushing.

If you're coming to the UK self-sponsored like me, condition your mind oo, it’s not easy.
