Pls, someone should help me out with this :
Do UK schools accept NECO result?

For undergraduate admission or masters? You may check your choice university's website if they have country specific requirements.

I applied for masters with my NECO result and Bsc. certificate and was given admission.

Aphrodite007:
Wait, you got rejected by a Welsh Uni? When you submitted your application, who wrote your Statement of Purpose?... Wait, a Welsh Uni ! I'm sorry dear, it must have been hard for you to be turned down by a Welsh Uni !

Make sure you have your SOP written properly, then also get a letter from your school stating that you were taught in English. That should do for you!

you could have had a little patience, read my post carefully, think about it, before commenting.

I pray God gives us all wisdom , understanding and patience...

LaaJiblik:
you applied to “ a number of schools” fair enough.
But you still cant say categorically that IELTS. Is not required by UK Universities.
Because a lot of universities may not require IELTS, a lot of others do require it.

you are very correct @LaaJiblik. I applied to a uni (Glyndŵr University), they sent me a 'conditional offer' last week, requesting for IELTS result before the offer can be changed to 'unconditional'. I have rejected their offer though as I've now realized they are low ranked(128 out of 130 top Universities in UK).

Whoever needs to apply should first check the course's entry requirements or send email to the Uni for any clarification.

Aphrodite007:
baba, unless you get a scholarship in the UK, stick to Ireland- its more affordable and has more chances of giving you a 2-year post study visa, unless you want to return and see buhari's face.

you're the best! Scholarship or I keep my money.

LaaJiblik:
‘Breeze can easily blow away your 2:1?

I meant " i don't think my 2.1 is strong enough"...Just replying @Aphrodite007 suggestion about getting a scholarship in Aus if i have a strong 2.1

Aphrodite007:
I don't think you should look towards Aus unless you have a strong 2.1 and 1st (for scholarships), like you said, it is expensive. Even though there are scholarship opportunities after your first semester, having the down payment to get into the school, in the first place, might just be difficult to get. If you are looking towards a PhD, NZ will be gold, don't try it for a master's, its as expensive as Aus.

Thanks. I have a 2.1 though, but breeze can easily blow it away. I guess it's back to Ireland and UK then.

Please anyone attending University of Westminter this September?

Phenmeson:
Tendency of getting Certificate of Sponsorship(C.O.S) is 10% because not all companies have the right to sponsor an employee.
Coming to UK & after completing your course,you are expected to return back home.
Few university in UK offers 2yrs visa for M Sc which i suggest you applying to because 1Year student visa runs out quickly.
I will advise you to gather more dough and focus on Australia university because you have 2yrs visa + post study and 70% chance of getting a Permanent Residence.
I got friends who migrated from UK to there.
UK students visa is just for you to come in,study & go home with your certificate

Thanks Phenmeson. I totally agree with you. However, among English speaking countries, tuition seems to be highest in Australia. Also it is a very far and lonely island (my opinion).

Ameera2018:
This may not be the right forum, but i am new to nairaland and gurus in the house kindly advise.

1. What do you thin about doing an MBA vs doing a specialized course like logistics and supply chain management in the UK, taking into consideration of getting a job when i move back to Nigeria and international employment opportunities.

2. I have a 5 years UK visiting visa will it be cancelled when i apply for a tier 4 visa?

Thanks

First, let me say this is a personal opinion and I will attempt to answer only No 1.

Any Uk degree certificate will give a superior recruitment advantage over other applicants anywhere in the world.
Both are management courses; while MBA teaches more about leading and managing people, Logistics and SCM teaches more on operations and transportation.
while i might be tempted to go for Logistics and Supply chain Management because it sounds specialized and employers might fall for it, an MBA can also work in the same field.
For job prospect, i would go for Logistics and SCM, if I want to start my own company that is not transport related, I would opt for MBA.
However, If my plan involves scouting for job in the UK, i will first check the timetable for the academic year and see which one of the two gives room to search for job and work during the day without interruption ( please never dream of working regularly at night, it's a bad thing, avoid it if you can).

Finally, let me say this "Life and success depends on many factors: being in the right place at the right time, luck, hard-work, focus, (maybe what you studied), ...and also what do you really want?"

Hello Everyone, i do not wish to derail this thread. Certainly, leaving the country and having an international degree gives a competitive edge. However, i do notice there are lots of people like me on this thread, not born with a silver spoon, trying to succeed no matter the challenges . And since UK does not allow one to remain after studies unless you get a job offer from a reputable company.

Questions:
1. how easy is it to get a company to sponsor one after studies?
2. if there is no sponsor, what next?
3. then is it worth it for silver spoon-less people like me to gather so much money and then drop it in one country that does not want me around for so long...

your candid (and if possible brutish) comments are welcomed.

primeson1:
good day guys, please is the free/low tuition still applicable for masters programme?

please enlighten me.

thanks.

To the best of my knowledge, if you are studying courses whose medium of instruction is not English, then yes, tuition is free. If not, then you will have to pay.

But you can check Norway (tuition free) , Germany and Austria (about €350 per semester).

Hope these helps.

Please is anyone going to Nigeria. I have #30,000 cash to sell for Euro. Thanks

Anyone here already in Espoo who can help with accommodation because the one month private rental I arranged was cancelled as I was asked to pay six month rent as he could no longer rent for just a month. I am already in Finland, Espoo city and I am not finding it funny.

I had a similar challenge. my accommodation was cancelled because I couldn't pay on time. and I was delaying payment because my application wasn't yet concluded. but once I got a positive decision, i immediately informed my tutor student about my accommodation challenge and within six hours, I was given another accommodation. Am now in Kuopio.

Send a mail and chat your tutor student, they will help you.

heading to kuopio. interested in sharing a room? let me know ASAP

Kindly include price tag Sir

Make I siddon for middle row

weirdarkhitekt:
Late admission means that one may not be able to secure accommodation?

not exactly, but i understand that during July/august period, securing student apartment is usually difficult cos you have lots of student applying.

iceberg54:
But you can apply regardless. You would indicate when you want to move in, and there is no financial implication. Waiting till after you get Rp might be too late and you might not get a place. And not securing a student apartment would be a disaster. Private apartments are expensive. So you're advised to apply now.

thanks boss. I'll do that ASAP

iceberg54:
Hi, there should be a student housing body in that city. I am sure the school included info about housing when you were granted admission. For example you can check moas.fi for Mikkeli. Its easier if you can get an apartment as a student, then you can get someone already here to share with. I only know much about Otaniemi campus and not the other campuses.

Cheers!

Boss Ice, thanks for the response. I want to wait for a decision to be made on my application before applying for MOAS accommodation. I am alerting the house in case I get a late decision and unable to get a room.

Thanks once again.

@ olabode et all,

I am still waiting for a decision to be made on my application. Please can you help with anyone ready to share a room. I don't want to be stranded on accommodation when everything is finally sorted. Destination is either kuopio or mikkeli (aalto).

Thanks for the anticipated response.

katolistic:

abujasingles:
Not sure that's true. I had 20wpm and I was invited for buddy session

Dear nairalanders, just to inform you that although the typing test is important, but even if you have 96% and 20wpm in the typing section but failed in other two sections of the CBT, you might still end up getting regret mail. whoever had 20wpm obviously performed very well in other sections. Be guided.

Dude04:

aril:
Bachelor’s Programme in International Business (BScBA) requires you to have a very good SAT score and the program is in English. No entrance examination is required. All they required is just a good SAT score.

hello aril, I just bumped into your posts and I must confess you have been doing excellently well helping people. Pls I want you to help me on the SAT score issue. What did you score or what exactly is a good score to be accepted for this aalto programme.

what am even concerned with is that if Trump can be so vocal-with provocative words to blacks and muslim communities-and yet still has a lot of supports,then obviously,there are still a lot of RACIST in that supposed "God's own country"...my one cent though

it's 12 hours ago, no pictures yet??

Chief,i realized this is the second time you're uploading this post. You might want to upload real laptop pictures since the system is with you rather than internet downloads.

Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump overwhelmed their rivals in the Arizona primaries on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, a show of might from two presidential front-runners who are hoping to avoid prolonging the nominating contest and begin training their fire on each other.

But Senator Bernie Sanders thrashed Mrs. Clinton in the Idaho and Utah Democratic caucuses, demonstrating his enduring appeal among liberal activists even as she closes in on the party’s nomination. And Senator Ted Cruz, who won the Republican contest in Utah, captured more than 50 percent of the vote, giving him all 40 of the state’s delegates and sustaining hope among Mr. Trump’s opponents that he can be slowed, if not stopped.

It surely looks like the two main parties frontrunners are 'good to go', but as it stands,there are limitless possibilities!


Republican Delegates Democratic Delegates

Trump----- 738 Clinton------1,214
Cruz-------463. Sanders------901
Kasich-----143

Nice write up.
