Wrong thread

ur question has been answered on the other thread

Funmibiyi96:
Hello Everyone,
Please I am new to the page and would like to ask a question

How much can I expect to earn as a work placement student in the UK?

I got admission into Teesside University for September 2020 (had to defer from Sept 2019) for MSc Food process Engineering - 1 year of coursework and 6 months of work placement. Tuition fee is 15000 pounds but I get to pay 7500 per year (2 years masters). I can raise the initial 7500 pounds and upkeep costs before resuming for the first year but I am hoping to earn the remaining 7500 during the work placement. Can that work? i wouldnt want to go without having a plan and get stranded.
Please gurus, respond.

contact unis with ur transcript for advise I don’t think u need a pre-MSc except ur applying to a course that’s different from ur first degree

Eduboy27:
ok...I studied FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND AM AN HND HOLDER,,THATS WHY I NEED TO DO A PRE MASTERS....
REGARDS

Most placements don’t pay students. You are allowed only 20hrs of paid work weekly and minimum wage is £8.21/hr

UK TIER 4 student visa is one of the “easiest” to get because it’s point based system. Getting admission from UK uni is very easy all they want to know is do u have money to pay the tuition, do u have enough maintenance fee, if u tick all those and manage to get a CAS (confirmation of acceptance of study) letter, you are most likely guaranteed the visa.

Be specific, what’s ur speciality and why do u need a pre-masters?

Eduboy27:
Hello house . Please am new here..am trying to apply for a pre masters program in the UK against January 2021 and I don't know how to go about the whole process ,,pls can someone put me through ...
I will b glad if I get a contact I can communicate with ...
Best regards

Start by doing a google search of the course you wanna do for example MSc Marlianology UK then read through their eligibility.

Any other questions, then bring it forth

I did my Biometric 02/01/2020
Picked up my visa today ... Glory be to God .. even after 2 USA visa denial and 1 Australia visa denial .. God indeed suspended protocols for me ... I appreciate each and everyone of you that have supported this whole process... One love

Statement showing the 28 days period u can add one or 2 days to show the closing balance

ademola020:
Please, for the statement of account when it’s complete 28days , how many months am I supposed to print out.

Your WAEC or NECO is enough but u can also get a cover letter from your uni that ur undergraduate was taught in English language. Contact your uni if I’m doubt

excelchips:
Happy New Year house. I'm new on this platform and I plan to apply for Masters in CyberSecurity in the UK university for September admission but I will like to know if language test IELTS (Academic)/PTE is compulsory to obtain UK Tier 4 Visa. I notice each school has its own requirement as regards language and the school I'm applying to do not really needs it since you can convince them that you took you undergraduate course in English. Please, expert here kindly assist to elaborate, and if it is, which one is better to take out of ielts and pte.

The best thing u can do for ursef is equip ursef with plenty info even before u enter UK that way ur not gonna be a novice novice (if u get what I mean). Good luck with ur application and be rest assured that we are here to answer ur queries

Mindlog:
Good advice. I intend starting September and by the time I finish in 2021, I should have gotten the professional license to practice in the UK as a therapist and get to change my immigration status.

YES!!!

1stdami:
Even if I already Lecture in a university in Nigeria

Congratulations to all the January starters that got their visa approved. While in the UK don’t just focus on book alone, make sure u explore, network, make contacts and gather as much information as possible about work experience and possibility of changing your immigration status in a legit way. All the best and wish you the very best in the Queen’s land.

Congratulations

Do u mind sharing the documents you submitted and how it went for you so others can learn from.

pinkkystel:
Congratulations

Hi All,
Update I have gotten the Visa

U need post graduate certificate in education to teach/lecture

1stdami:
Hello Guys,

what are the best route for someone with a Ph.D. in botany/microbiology related field and about 7 years experience lecturing in Nigeria to immigrate to the UK, preferably to continue lecturing?

First of all, does she work in Nigeria or what level of educational qualification does she have.

Does she have travel history? Has she been to the UK before

You need to give us more information

Maiyakz:
Hello Guys,

Please I need your tips and advise.

I have been working in the UK for some months now and recently engaged my girlfriend who resides in Nigeria. I would really need the help of you guys in this thread to help me plan for her moving here with me. Any form of advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply and as he hasn’t booked any ticket yet, I’m sure he will be flexible to enter via the province the majority are going

Ozzz:
Even though you find people, there is a rare chance you all are going to the same province or destination, it's just for him to always ask questions from airport staff when he travels, and prepare to answer questions at the port of Entry into canada.

Good day house, please I want to make an enquiry for my elder brother. He got 2 years Canadian Visitors Visa but because he’s a first time traveller people have advised that he goes with group of tourist to make his journey stress free especially at the point of entry. Do we have group of tourists travelling anytime soon on here please

It will be hard bro, don’t complicate issues further as u already have something to deal with.

Apply first and if granted u can apply for them to come visit you when you are on break in uni

Thebody:
I will do just that, someone stated that an undergraduate can't school in the UK with dependant (my wife and kid) is there any way around it? Can I convince them that my income from my business can take care of my family, while am in school? My wife is the 2nd director of my company and own 20% shares.

Have you decided the course you want to study? If yes ring the course enquiry team of the university of interest and explain to them your situation stating why you have left it till now. They will most likely ask for a cover letter / personal statement which must be very convincing to grant the admission.

Thebody:
Hello house compliment of the season, please I will like to know if there is any school in the UK that will admit a 30yrs old for undergraduate studies. I graduated since 2008 but couldn't go to higher institution because of sponsorship. Been working since then and I now own my own registered limited company and making decent money. My SOA is close to 7m and I can still be making money from my business even if I am in school. I am married with a kid, been rejected by a couple of schools abroad because of the age and school gap.

Proposing an MBA after ur PhD is a risk.

Not sure what u majored in ur PhD but I guess the best option for you is the tier 1 entrepreneur visa.

Gather the money u want to use for the MBA in an account for 3 months.

Get someone to write you a business plan relating to what you studied at PhD level or even any form of business showing how you want to invest that money in the British economy.

jamela:
Hi Justwise and good fellows in the house,

I am currently on my Doctorate Extension Scheme visa after completion of my PhD. The following is a summary of my situation.

Summary:
Point 1: I'm currently enroute a comfortable 6 years in UK continuous residence and hope to make the 10 year ILR.
Point 2: I have spent 5 of this 6 continuous years studying without breaks. the 6th current year is on a Doctoral extension scheme (1 year visa) expiring next year.
Point 3: I now need to earn 4 years more to qualify for the 10 year ILR.

However,
Point 4: The UK has an 8 year maximum study cap. As I have also held a previous (since expired) tier 4 visa on a masters course for 17 months (i.e the standard 1 year 5 months visa), it doesn't count towards continuous residence now. This is because I went back to Nigeria after I completed it and spent more than 180 days there before returning to the UK to study again. Even so, this study period is still counted by the UK Home Office as 1 year 5 months used towards the 8 year study cap.

Therefore,
Point 5: My total study period in the UK so far adds up to 6 years 5 months, which leaves me with 19 months (1year 7 months) left to use on the 8 year study cap. (but remember point 3 above).

At Present:
I learnt about the return of the Post study work scheme, though it isn't yet in effect, I heard it would only be valid for those graduating from 2021 onwards.

My Intention:
I plan to leave the UK after my DES expires next year for 6 months and return in less than 180 days to start the MBA. (This gives me 6 months of continuous residency even though I wouldn't be present in the UK for that time as long as I return within 180 days).

After the MBA programme:
6months (outside UK) + 18 months (MBA) = 2 years
Post study work visa = 2 years
This adds up to the 4 years that I need to qualify for ILR.

Questions:
Will the new PostStudyWork visas start automatically after 2021 Masters completion, or these would have to be applied for?
Is it possible for me to apply for an 18 month MBA course, even though I now have a PhD?
Does anyone know any UK universities that offer 18 month MBA programmes that begin in March/April 2021?

Would there be any issues with my current situation and intentions above?
Other suggestions are welcome.

Within the same uni, they might consider. They could tell you to finish year one before changing or just grant the switch immediately.

However to cross to another uni, they might ask u to return to ur home country to reapply Cus u are changing sponsor. Though I think u could still apply to change sponsor while in the uk but sometimes their head dey touch

liliberth:
Please I want to ask is it easy for someone to switch courses in the uk?

Please I need answers.

It looks like it’s getting late already for January start considering the Xmas holidays and the time it takes to complete the refund.

Consider both unis and the cities (living expenses). If you decide to take a refund u might be looking at using a super priority service assuming your course start date in January is on the 20th or 27th.

Also if refund is coming to a Nigerian account it will take some time’s to reflect and bank charges too will apply

Nodicrix:
Good day gurus, pls my school has refused to issue me a CAS after I have made deposit and submitted bank statements. They said the class is full and I am on a waiting list pending if someone cancels their admission. I am considering requesting for a refund of the deposit so that I can make payment into another school that has already given me admission. My friends think I should wait till the time frame for the waiting list is exhausted which is 2 weeks from now. But by then it may be too short to pursue CAS and Visa for the other school which also resumes in January. What do you guys think?

You are already an adult might be hard to be a dependant on your father considering your age.

toulouse:
Good day NL
My question is that,is it possible to join my father in the UK,he has a British passport,I am already 29.Can he still file for me.looking forward for replies.

Ulster university seems to be one of the cheapest universities around as its registered as a charity organisation. Data science is studied at the Magee campus, one of the 6 campuses mentioned in their website. I advise u consider the APPLIED Data Science as it Comes with placement (pls confirm from the uni)
Find below their contact details

Magee Campus

brashear:
Hello good people, someone recommended Ulster university data science program to me. I checked the website and I found a Nigerian number for further enquiries. I'm confused, how is that possible?

Congratulations

BTW do they interview all students before granting them tier 4 visa now or they pick randomly

Josephalex:
My biometrics was on the 9th of December 2019 with super priority package, I was called on phone for interview on the 12th of December (25 minutes call) and today 16th December I received the collection mail in the morning and collected it in the afternoon..VISA ISSUED.. ALL GLORY BE TO GOD.

Where did you get this information? Is it from a reliable source because as far as I am aware they are planning to bring back the post graduate visa and Students are allowed to work 20 hours a week.

CTGVenturesFCT:
Good day everyone, please I need answers to be sure of what i'm doing.

I'm currently in the process of applying for Masters in Public health in University of Derby, UK.

While browsing today, I saw a comment that students on tier 4 visa will not be allowed to work and once you are done with the program, you will be shown the exit door.
You won't be allowed extension of stay.

Please is this true?

I bet you don’t knw how much these “professional caregivers” charge per hour. Obviously if you can afford it, why not, by all means but the person who posted the question is just settling in UK and needs support while she goes to work.

When it comes to people watching your kids you can’t be too careful even the professional ones have incidences. Some Nigerian families take turns to watch each other’s kids so the parents can work night shifts. It is certain that there will be instances where u need someone to watch your kids for few hours without having to pay professional caregiver so what do you do?

seyisanya:
Please let no stranger(in the guise of a church member) watch over your kids for free(or less) in a foreign country, even if this person is from your hometown in Nigeria. Please, if you cannot get your mother to help in this situation then you are better off getting a professional caregiver for them regardless of the financial implication.

It’s possible sha and that’s just 3 working days out

LagosismyHome:
Ok. ... I listened to a school webinar where it was said the embassy closes dec 24 to Jan 2. Not sure if that applies to all UK embassies

1. Usually universities issue CAS between 3-5 working days as soon as they confirm the initial deposit and you meet the condition of their offer.

2. Yes u should state it

3. Best to apply on your own, maybe after your first semester you can invite them for the summer holiday

4. Yes they stand a good chance as dependants. But for now, I’d focus on how to get a job and change my status after studying.

jidesamuel:
Good morning great minds,

I just got an admission into Salford University for MSc program starting in March 2020. Please I have some questions to ask

1. Having submitted all required documents and instructed to pay the tuition deposit, how soon will I get CAS

2. I have once been denied visit visa about 2 years ago, do I need to state it when applying for the tier4 visa

3. Is it advisable to apply for student visa along with my wife and daughter or I should apply alone. (which one gives a better chance)

4. At the completion of the MSc program, what chance do I have, if I want my family to reside with me in UK

I didn’t count Xmas, Boxing Day and new year. I counted working days, bank holidays excluded

LagosismyHome:
Aren't they closed between xmas and new year ?

You have 26 working days from today till the 24th of January which is the Friday before the Monday 27th of January when your study starts. Tier 4 application generally takes 15 working days

Newbetterphase:
@justwise


Please I need advise. My program starts on the 27th of January, my question is should I do normal standard visa or priority visa?
I actually want to do standard visa because of lack of fund but I want to get proper guidance from the Ogas here.
