Hello guys, please is it possible for someone with a third class to gain admission for masters? if so can you recommend schools to apply to with affordable tuition.

LagosismyHome:
You either didn't know or read the rules.... you cannot apply using company account. Your father should have transferred the money to his personal account or your account

Administration review will still lead to rejection because its not the rule to have used a company account. Its better to re apply again using either your personal or your dad personal account

Good morning @justwise and everyone. Got a refusal
On my student visa and reason stated was Just that they didn't contact the bank at all or possibly because I used a MFB. Please @justwise @scooby what do you think I should do. While tracking my application, I discovered it's still showing still at DMC. Can I still put in for Jan intake for same school or another school. But what surprised me is that even the school contacted the bank for my POF and issued me a CAS. They even sent me a mail before contacting the bank and now I'm been refuse based on using MFB. I called my course advisor and she asked me few question and suggested I send a mail to the school compliance team which I did and I was told to State reason for the denial which I stated but they told me to await their response by Monday.Someone also told me I can request for a new CAS from same school without paying another tuition fee but I really don't know how true this is. Please house what do you advise I do and what do you think could be the cause for the refusal.Thank you all as I await our response. @justwise @scooby please I need your advise and assistance in sorting this out and way forward. God bless you sir/ma

If you are coming to the UK to hustle please sit back at home. You need maximum concentration here. The study is competitive. All the best. I have been here for a month now.

Callmed:
if you have been here for a month what should we now do about that?

So out of your busy schedule and "study competitiveness" you still have the time to come and type rubbish here.

Guys, come to the UK and hustle! If you're smart enough you will know how to balance school and work life. If you're not...you will learn.

Click on the link or check Howoheye in the search bar, you'll see schools that accept third class and HND for masters,then check individual school in terms of affordability.

Hello Phadriz,

What if I do a walk into IOM and plead that I be attended to. Will they attend to me? Has anyone been in this position?

ChudiOgudo:
All commercial banks.

justwise:
It’s important that you declare it first then state that you can not remember why you were refused, they know anyway.

Crenzywilliams:
If you are not in Lagos, you can go ask someone in Lagos to go to IOM office at Ikeja to book an appointment for you manually, am sure they can get an earlier date for you, even this October. That's how I booked my appointment. Good luck.

Enraf:
Lol….. the priority is an added service. You will add the £220 to the standard visa fee

Jaylo79:
This is a confirmation that they send refusal emails?

Princetayo5bois:
Please have gotten the CAS


My brother don’t panic I’m September and I haven’t gotten mine too

Igweokolo:
Good morning house,please can somebody help me with names of schools that have January intake in UK.

Oshay53:
@justwise,

Please, is there a validity usually attached to the police report?

phadriz:
Walk in is not allowed again in IOM Lagos, just send the mail you will be given a very close date, that's what I did for my family but if the date given to you wasn't favorable you may reply the mail to appeal for a closer date.

I insist don't go there if you don't have appointment, because you won't be attended to, it is clearly stated in the memo paste on their gate.

I wish you best of luck.

Hello, Please does anybody know if University of Salford still receives application for their Data Science post graduate course for January 2022 intake...

With regards to the work and school discussion. When people who are here tell you it’s a challenging combination. Take it as the truth. When someone tells you it’s impossible, take that too cos he/she may be speaking from experience.

I don’t think combining any two activities at the same time can ever be easy and I think working and schooling is difficult in any part of the world. I know guys who work and study and I will tell you it’s not easy. Believe me. It’s very challenging.

Is it possible? Yes very possible and you can still get a good result.

Will I advice anyone? ….hmmmmm….

Here’s what I will advice:

Try to get something (enough money) to cover your first semester, during the first semester, use it to understand how your Univeristy function and it’s difficulty level. Trust me, the difficult level for University’s varies. Some Univeristy are more difficult (especially those at the top), while some are not so difficult. (I purposely did not use “are not difficult” and that because difficulty is self defined)

After the first semester, you will be able to decide for yourself how you intend to merge the work and school. And possibly you would have made friend(s) that will give you some school update and assist you too.

The reason why Mr(s) A was able to work and school could be because his/her Univeristy was not as difficult as Mr(s) B. Hence why Mr(s) B would tell you it’s difficult or impossible to work and still get good grades.

Above all, don’t ignore advice from people because it’s not in line with what you want to hear or believe. Take every advice you get, Use only the ones you believe and trust. Everything no be argument and curse. Person wey tell you say make you no work and school no go de when you begin face panel for plagiarism because you could not properly translate what you have read into writing.

Trust me my brothers and sisters, e easy for this UK to just change for person eyes like magic oooo. All those plans and imagination wey you don dream of go just turn tears and regret.

In the voice of my people: God no go shame us…

Blessings

Please we have an issue now and need urgent advise . My wife is already in the Uk isolating. A while ago she said that she was bathing when the door bell rang. When she finished and came out she did not see anyone again. Her mind is telling her that the Uk people has come to check on her. What can she do? Is there a mail or number to call and tell them that she is in the house but bathing when they visited. No other person in the house apart from her

sniperaz:
OK.

So there's been some conversations around affordability of a masters degree in the UK and all the twitter post.

First things, education is not an exclusive right f the super rich. If your family can afford it fine, if they cant, then take a student loan. As long as you're sure that's the best step for you at the time and it can be justified. Student loan is not a new thing! More than half the students in your class (if you have Britons, Americans or Europeans) would be on student loan. So if you're thinking to take a loan from nig to fund your education, please go for it. The people granting your visa are aware!!, That's how most of them went to college. You wont be the first and you wont be the last. Africa and student loan is a different conversation altogether.

Secondly, hustle. There's no problem with hustling as long as it doesn't affect your education!! Again you need to understand how their system works. Its slightly different from ours. For us, we finish secondary school, write JAMB and move straight to Uni. No need to work. Education is already heavily subsidised. So for most of us, its already very affordable especially if you're in federal or state university. For Britons, its not the case (except you're scottish - another conversation as well). Education is expensive. Infact, you really don't have to go beyond college (secondary school) if you cant afford it. Masters is almost exclusive for super brilliant students - and that's why you would hardly have Britons as masters classmate. Mostly your classmate will be Africans, Indians and Asians (a few Euopeans)
Back to my point, after college, most of the ones that want to continue education would take a year out to work (usually what you call menial jobs) to raise money in addition to the student loan they would take for when they start uni. They would usually work as carers, bar attendants, cleaners, shop attendants etc

So if you put these together, what they do is not very different from what you will do when you arrive the UK. And because you haven't taken a student loan, there's alot more pressure on you to achieve much more in such short time frame (thank God for PSW now) - hence what you call 'hustle'. And ofcourse, with our very weak exchange rate, even your Nigerian savings doesn't really cut it.

For those who want to work while they school, be rest assured the system understands. As long as you stick to your 20hrs during term time and your school work is not suffering.

And if you're so rich or supported that you don't need to work, please face your studies and have fun - most of the Chinese students don't work. Either because their govt supports them or the language barrier.

ChudiOgudo:
