Hi guys, I got an offer to study at the University of Hull and Nottingham Trent University. I have applied to other universities and got offered admission but I was turn between these two for some reasons. However, having spoken to a friend in London and was given some good advice I have decided to go with the University of Hull.
I will like to advice some people here based on what I was told.

-Getting a good job in the UK takes time, most times they require some UK experience so you shouldnt just expect to get a good graduate job immediately you complete your studies, go for the one available, gain some experience and then try applying again for the one you have had your eyes on all along.
-Most employers in the UK check the ranking of your University before considering you for a job.
-It is very rare to get a permananent job with your 20hours student work permit only parttime/temporary jobs are easily gotten.
-You can change your location after your studies to a place where the chances of getting the kind of job you want and/or qualify for is in abundance. -If you do not get a job after studies please do your self a favour by applying quickly to leave the United Kingdom for some other country that her economy is way stronger than that of the UK before your Visa expires. Coming back to Nigeria shouldn't be an option with all that is happening here, but if your situation is different and your connect is strong here please do come back.

In summary, do what works for you, individual situations differ.

Nice but what give you job is your skillset and experience and not any university ranking.

That is why UK are still recruiting from those who studied outside UK. Show that you can do the job
and you are good to go.

Only Oxford and Cambridge have bragging right of ranking.

True, but experiences differ. Some organizations check university ranking trust me, Universities like University of Oxford and Cambridge like you rightly mentioned and some other A list universities like LSE, University of Leeds, University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, University of Birmingham, University of Sounthampton, University of Nottingham etc. I did my undergraduate in the UK so I know what I am talking about.

hosey:

That will help but wont give you the job.

My wife went to a very low ranked UK university and just got a job with NHS last week. She is still in her final year. Will begin the job in September.

Do you know what really made her get the job over her counterpart? Her experience as a Care Assistant as it tallies with the health sector. She also had First Aid training and End of Life Care Skillset with strong reference from her line manager and her course tutor in school.

Stop wasting your time in university ranking. Focus on the course, how it tallies with your career, tuition and whether there are job opportunities. Get skillset and relevant experience.

I REPEAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR UNIVERSITY. HAVE RELEVANT SKILLSET AND EXPERIENCE, AND THE JOB IS YOURS.YOU WILL BE THE ONE SELECTING.

Yes sir, you are right. Some organizations still discriminates, it is not the right way but it happens. NHS do not because they need hands, any job related to health anywhere do not necessarily care about where you acquired your university degree. I still insist that experiences differ.

hosey:

In that sector, get the right skillset and stop complaining. Send your CV and let me reccomend and advise you on what to do to make employers look for you. You are in the UK. This is not Nigeria.

PtBlank:
I thought so too only to find out we are about 6 Nigerians in my department. You have to understand that not everyone is on Nairaland. And yes, I'm at Staffordshire University.

Dopekidd:
Hello guys, I'm just about to start submitting my application to schools for September intake, please when is the deadline for September intake?

yormieK:

Anyone proposing sept entry with them?

Anyone going to GCU September entry? I defered till September 21 with acknowledgement of my deferment from the school but haven't been issued an offer letter about 2 months. When I contacted them, they said they're updating their admission cycle which affect their marketing/admission processes coupled with the busy jan entry schedules. Anyone with application there?

Simi2345:
I am not complaining. Getting the right skillset is the plan. Thank you for the information, I am sure a lot of people have learnt from what you have shared, that's the goal here.

Nkechi48:
Please if you are looking towards September 2021 admission but hasn't started like me, let me know biko.
