Just used Globus bank but they debited me with rate at 579 and charges about 24k

I used globus too but they debited me in dollars instead of pounds and the figure ended up being over what it should have been.

Please how did you know you were charged 24k cos my debit carries only the dollar value I was charged and when I converted my needed pounds to dollars, there seemed to be an additional 100 dollars which is certainly higher than 24k naira.

I don't even understand.

Getting Placement is not easy as you would have to apply for placement all on your own which is the same as finishing Uni and applying for a job. The school does not help with placement. I would advise you to go for non-placement. Placement was once enticing because of the lack of a lengthy Post study work visa. Now that there’s post study work visa that’s valid for 2 years, I don’t think you should waste your time doing placement. My 2 cents.

Yes the school needs POF before you can get your CAS, they are really slow with processing documents so send these documents ASAP.

POF for one year is enough. You don’t need POF for 2 years if you are doing placement.
Thanks so much for this information, please how long does it take for one to get CAS after submitting all documents.

Yeah, I've been looking at schools with placement,, NTU in particular, the extra bit of "UK work experience" will give you an edge I think. And besides, from what I gather, even if you don't get a placement cos you'll only have to finish your course as a one-year program and switch your visa to fit that, so it's a win-win. But I still want to know, will you need POF for one or two years, cos of the extra year due to placement?

Rightly said... Employers value experience and placement gives you that exposure.

Your POF has got nothing to do with placements as POF is only for the first 9 months of your stay in the UK as well as the tuition for your course. So, if your course is for one year or two years, POF is still for the first 9 months. But your tuition will certainly rise a little, when you are adding placements to your academics.

Thank you very much
We'd look towards care jobs then

Beyond the advise given, driving in Western countries require a lot of period of time learning in the driving school... Of which if you're going on a student visa, u no go get time for that long learning route before you start earning money for your upkeep and bills. Remember you've to make out time to study for your MSc as well.

Driving could pay more (I am not sure) , but even with your Nigerian 50years of driving experience, that wouldn't automatically earn you a license to start driving in the UK. So my advice is to consider quicker means to earn. A care job is auto-start and pays well too.

Pls any suggestions will be welcome.

Wow interesting. Sorry about this.
Does this mean they didnt check your documents? They didn't even notice the dates don't match.

Also, they approved a visa for October in January. I thought we could only apply for visa maximum of 6 months to resumption.

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by Fibonacci2021: 2:51am On Feb 25, 2022
This is typically called 'English as a Medium' in Nigeria. It's a document you request from school much the same way you request for transcript. Unlike transcript that most schools send to institutions and organizations directly, I think your school can give you a copy of this.

See ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM below using UNILAG as an example

Please I need advice.
My brother renewed his passport after he has done his biometric and capturing. He applied with his wife and son(dependant) and they have been issued their visa. His passport would expire in June and because it does not cover for the duration of his stay in the UK he had to renew.
Now the issue is the embassy is saying he has cancelled the first biometric he did on the old passport and the probability of him getting the Visa is shaky right now. He also has a deadline to resume in the school by month end.
Is there anyone with experience of such and how we can handle this. He has also sent a mail to the embassy explaining why he renewed (also because of the rule in Nigeria of renewing a passport with 6months validity).

Please I need advice and guidance on how best this can be resolved

there is no such rule in Nigeria. He could have gotten his visa, then applied for renewal and then travel with 2 passports. The BRP is what will carry his full visa length and not passport. Even for individuals tht apply for 6 months visa with a 5 months visa they are still given the full length on their passport irrespective of validity dates on passport.
So he cancelled his biometrics or how? I dnt understand what you mean by the embassy is saying probability is shaky. I think is best you guys continue to liase with them as they are in the best position to help you and/or guide you. I’ve not heard where embassy will say probability of visa is shaky.. they dnt even comment such way. So pls explain what u mean by biometrics was cancelled. Who cancelled it? What exactly did the embassy say

Hello house ... I got offers for MSC Artificial intelligence and data science at Sunderland, derby, ulster, suffolk....all September intake ...but I'm planning to settle for Suffolk because of the fees and scholarship discount which might reduce my school
fees to about £11500 or £12000.
But was required to make my offer I have to do any of the following which I'm opting for a TEST WAIVER...

IELTS (academic): 6.5 overall with a minimum score of 5.5 in all components, or a University of Suffolk approved English Language Test, or Test Waiver where eligible. Visit www.uos.ac.uk/englishtests


My questions on SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY are :
1)who is on this page with me, should kindly advice how I go about the test WAIVER

2)the initial payment and payment plan was not stated in the mail or stated in the attached file in the mail. I need to know the initial deposit as well as the payment plan.

3) I saw they offer accommodation for students 3k for a year.. people that have passed through this university or are currently enrolled there should advice if the school accommodation is a good choice for an international student, is that amount for a 12 months or a session which is 9 months, is it better to opt for accommodation in that area(outside the university) or I stick to the university accommodation

Have you tried submitting your waec English result ?
Also, you could try proving your degree was taught in English via submitting a letter from your uni.

You should read the entire offer mail. Sometimes the initial deposit required is written at the top with your name and course info or at the bottom of the mail after the main body of the mail stating your offer requirements.

Renewal of passport takes time these days. Date of capture is now automated. If you want to apply for September intake I suggest you liaise with a trusted officer at the passport office and see if you can start renewal earlier than the stipulated 6 months.
It's not impossible but may cost you extra fees.
