It's okay to just say thank you for the information and walk away even if it's not useful. Someone took out time to respond to you and is not being appreciated. This is why most people don't even try to help and honestly I don't blame them. Maybe we do not know about transit visa or what it entails but this is why the thread is titled 'Australian student visa enquiries'. Nigeria is frustrating enough and the time difference (inclusive of workload + study) for those is Australia can also be exhausting. Let's all do better and not make it any harder for each other. A little love and 'thank you' hasn't killed anybody.
Love and light peeps ✌

They are indirectly forcing you to commence on online study. Try to contact your agent to know the next reasonable step to follow, best regards.

@Kess2020.. since it's a nursing program and it was clearly stated that it can't be taken online, maybe you'll be granted an exemption coz some students that got in this year were given exemptions because they're medical students. Regarding getting into Australia this year, I personally doubt it, even the Astra Zeneca they're using can cause blood clots which has led New South Wales to suspend it's use recently. We're all in limbo with no end in sight but you have a better chance than a lot of us.

@Aussiejoan @AyaE and everyone that has been helping on this platform.

Thanks will be waiting to hear from you all soon heros .

This whole thing is very serious and annoying.

I have two offers from my chosen University (UTAS) right now.

The first one, I've received the unconditional offer, I even defered it from February to July 2021 and I doubt if I can defer again cos their policy is just one deferment for an offer.

I planned paying for my fees this month but I won't pay again for now to avoid being tied to starting online.

The second one (Social Work) came with a bridging course to do for six months before Masters proper. This one starts July and my school said it cannot be done online and that's good for me cos I'm not in for an online study.
However, if I don't start this July, the deferment will be till next year July because the bridging should run from July till December so as to start the Masters which has only February intake.

Right now, the next year thing that I never bargained for is turning to a reality like play like play.

I remember telling a friend who outrightly deferred till next year because of the border drama that it's going to be a long wait for her but just see my life now, I'm gradually sliding into her long waiting shoes...

I'm really confused ooo...

AussieJoan:


What's the first course you were offered.
Secondly, why can't you do the bridging course online ? Personally, I would have done that online and just start the main thing when I get here.
But this year is looking kinda bleak for international student arrival.
Let's just hope the Federal government will listen to the state on their proposals

VickayThrills:
The first course is Tourism, Environmental and Cultural Heritage. I actually planned changing to Social Work from this if I eventually travel with this cos I was initially scared of applying for visa with my Social Work offer that came with a bridging course.

My school told me that I must be on campus for Social Work as it's not offered online and that's good for me cos I really don't want to do online study.

Since things are pointing to next year, I'll just wait and stick to my Social Work.
I was informed that the bridging course won't affect my chances as I was earlier worried/scared, so I'll just respect myself and endure with beliefs that it's for the best...

Hello house,

My wife is intending to study nursing in Australia. She has Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology from a Nigerian University.

She wants to do Bsc in Nursing. Or should she do a master's degree program in related course?

Please, which good and relatively cheap nursing school or University offering nursing in Australia do you recommend?

We are making some research, but I decided to also ask here.

I don't mind if the university is in the outskirts of Australian major cities.

Thanks.

AussieJoan:


She should try Masters in Nursing (coursework not research)
Nursing course is expensive so expect to pay a minimum of $10k per semester (I don't know if it has increased)
Check for schools online, their tuition fee is normally displayed on the website.

Is it possible to do Masters in Nursing without doing BSN? She did Microbiology.
