UK Visa Exempts Nigerian Graduates by apexmall(m): 7:03pm On May 06, 2022
The United Kingdom is set to begin issuance of a new visa that allows holders of first degrees, masters, and doctorates to travel to the country and work in fields such as science, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship by May 30.

The visa – high potential individual visa, allows applicants to relocate to the UK without a prior job offer or sponsorship. Meanwhile, some of the requirements exempted those who graduated from Nigerian universities.

The UK government had said that in order to qualify for the HPI visa, applicants needed to have been awarded a degree from an overseas university. The university has to be one of the top global universities as published in the global universities list by the Home Office.

The government noted that the list would be compiled annually and would comprise institutions included in the list of the top 50 universities in at least two of the following ranking systems: Times Higher Education World University rankings, Quacquarelli Symonds World University rankings, and the Academic Ranking of the World Universities.

Also, the applicants must have been awarded a degree, equivalent to or not less than a UK bachelor’s degree.

Meanwhile, checks showed that Nigerian universities do not appear in any of these global rankings.

The UK had been one of the choice destinations for many Nigerians seeking to relocate abroad for academic and work purposes.

Of course nah. They want people who graduate between 3 to 4 years, not people who use 6 years to do 4 years courses because ASUU is permanently on Strike.

See how brexit has helped Nigerians who want to work in the U.K

Lol... did you guys read the write-up?

In case you missed the word "exempt", here is the last paragraph:

Meanwhile, checks showed that Nigerian universities do not appear in any of these global rankings.

OP, maybe you should have used a different word. The word "exempt" makes it look like the schools included are bearing the weight of some unwanted obligations, thereby making it seem as it's a good thing Nigeria was 'exempted'. Oh wait, OP is amongst those that didn't read the write-up. Lol

I don't expect Nigeria universities to be among for obvious reasons, how can undergraduate be at home for months in the name of ASUU and expect to produce the best of them.

This country is cursed unless the citizens wake up we will continue to be rated below par
