I know they have fast track degrees I'm Universities like Staffordshire, City University London, etc but I fear I might be unable to keep up with the strenuous and Herculeanous workload.

You need to decide what your priorities are!
If you want to complete a degree course in a shorter time it is obvious that you will have to work harder.
You must make time in your life to do this, or make another plan.

@Spikesc
You have no point here. I don't even know where to begin to prove you wrong


You have all the time in the world, How about you start proving me wrong.....I don't know when this became a contest though but in the spirit of using your words. What are you proving.
The lady made a statement, I made my contribution. What are you on about?

It is not a fight, okay.

For the fact that she's ready to pay around £10,000 gives her the right to chose the best school that would offer her better education and future prospects.
She doesn't have to chose any shitty school just cos she came from Nigeria.
Your argument there was overly myopic, but you would understand better when you meet people here who studied for 3 years and a masters and still couldn't get a worthwhile job.

Guys Happy New month! smiley... Interesting exchange of conversations and ideas here!.It has been really helpful. I think the previous conversations between those 2 guys was interesting. Since I joined this thread, I have received realist information and also Alarmist informations. The guy that earlier pointed out to me that I should drop my UK admission and go to Canada made an alarmist comment. Most people that cant get into Canada for Masters do so through PGD(Post graduate diploma). And most do so because they are on second class lower divison. Even the 2:1 and First class folks dont get in easily, but some do!. I think people having drumming Canada as a land of goodies(no doubt), but in reality, it is tough. I have two friends that are in Canada presently, one finished with a 2:2 from a private uni, the other I think 3rd class from a private uni too. Their PGD program ends this month, one of them applied to 5 schools for masters for pharmacology, 4 rejected him, his hopes are hanging on one,if it doesn't work out, he has to come back to Naija as visa will expire, the other one also applied but got rejected, still hoping on one or two. For the UK, my only problem is the exchange rate, all this immigration and job palava is everywhere. The only thing im worried now is the ranking for the schools. The babe that complained about Robert Gordon dropping some places, I looked at the school ranking, I looked at the school I got admission into, I started having low self esteem. Tbh. I still strongly recommend going to the UK to do masters is better than going to Canada and passing through to do PGD, you spend all that money and time and struggle to get a job, and then cant even get in for Masters. I called that wasted investment. My folks doing PGD told me that most international students (indians) in Canada looking to get a good job and stay back all have masters + job experience (from UK or abroad), its only the Nigerian students that have only First degree. That makes them(indians) more competitive and better placed to be picked for good jobs, not carrying a 2:2 or 3rd class Bsc and then you get an Ontario graduate Certificate/diploma and think you can pull off a good job? I dont think so. and In summary, I have a few questions to ask and points to make:
1) What is the point of going to Canada (for people without first class), if after doing PGD you cant get in for Masters?, or are you going there for the ''benefits''?
Since in UK you can work part time (20hrs a week) and then all fees are paid, one should strive to get a distinction and leave the future to God. I have stopped worrying since I got warm advice and real talk from a member here, it truly inspired. Its okay to give out reality checks, at the same time too, everyone has different destinies, all we should try to do is encourage one another and I pray God directs us to achieve our various dreams and goals!. have a blessed week kiss

Nice one sir. I'm here aiming for a distinction and applying hugely for jobs already. Used my school's career service to help. After this Master's GOD can still make it happen for us here in this UK.

Good talk, fact remains UK cert. are still prestigious. if not for the "almighty" exchange rate pple might not want to stay back after studying to look 4 jobs to atleast get part of their fees back. Heard Canada is gradually changing their immigration policies too. Try to look beyond the general rankings look at subject rankings and graduate prospects the rgu lady probably dint do that.

You made a valid point. But I think you left out those who actually have the entry requirements for Direct Masters in a Canadian university. We can't generalise everyone as only able to get in through PGD. It's only human that you seek admission where your qualifications are accepted. If your aim is just to get a Masters, UK offers you that in the quickest time possible. Nevertheless, I agree partly with the statement about Rankings as the Companies are likely to recruit along those lines (especially from Russell group universities). But I must add that UK companies are under law to prove that no home/eu student has the requirements they seek before they can employ internationals (As a Tier 2 sponsor). Therefore the premium is placed on your experience and what other qualifications you have that can outsmart the home/eu students. Is this the same case for those in Canada? I wouldn't know, not done much research on Canadian law neither do I encourage/discourage anyone who intends to study there. What I do know is assess your reasons for coming to the UK carefully before diving in.


Note to the quoted author above: I understand you were referring to your current situation/priorities and not everyone. My post is rather more of clearing the air in a general sense for those with different priorities and situations to assess their positions properly, as some of the things you referred to might not apply to them.

Note to others: I do not assume everyone needs UK certificates solely for the intention of staying in the UK indefinitely. Many friends of mine have studied in the UK and used their certificates to get jobs in other countries, while a few got jobs in the UK(after PSW was removed). Nonetheless, there are many other reasons (and I'm sure you all do) for achieving your respective certificates in the UK. So this post should not be misjudged as discouraging anyone from studying in the UK.

Note to self: I have taken the time to make this lengthy so my comments are seen for what they truly are: Critical Analysis.
Thanks for reading.

. Yh you are right quite high they host large career fairs and have strong links with various companies. Although I don't know if high graduate prospects include a large number of either international students or Home students, or even more of undergraduates than postgraduates.

Sir, I didn't know. Besides the insurance site says it's not compulsory to have one before getting a job. You can apply for the number after getting the job and tell the employer you have applied for the number. In any case I'm applying for one now.

Uuuuhm black market jobs? That's equally news to me. Any nice benefits from there? grin

Forget it bro. Garthdee/Kaimhill area, budget £400 - £450 for rent, and around £100 for bills. Here, you have no need to take the bus to school. Your church, friends, work may however take you to town so, a bus pass may be in order, see below.

City centre, rent: £300 - 400. Bills: £100 or less depending. Quarterly bus pass £135 Or term pass (only available in September) £300.

All bills are quoted PM, and include: Gas, Electricity, Internet. Water is free. So is refuse disposal. NHS offers free health care.

Maybe the earlier message was a little ambiguous. The rent I quoted is not inclusive of bills. Although you may end up paying the bills to your landlord...

Garthdee
--Rent: £400-450PM
--Bills: £100 or less PM
--[Bus pass]: Quarterly bus pass £135 (£45 PM)Or term pass (only available in September) £320 (£35.6PM)
Total: £585.6PM (max)

Town
--Rent: £300-400PM
--Bills: £100 or less PM
--Bus pass: Quarterly bus pass £135 (£45 PM) Or term pass (only available in September) £320 (£35.6PM)
Total: £535.6PM (max)

The [url="http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/aberdeen/tickets/student_bus_travel/tickets.php"]First Bus Aberdeen[/url] pass is valid from 01 September 2015 until 30 June 2016

So, whatever you might think you'll be saving if you stay in Garthdee is eroded by the rent and the fact that you will most likely end up buying a bus pass. You can buy daily or weekly tickets, but that is more expensive.

Honestly, staying in school accommodation has it's down sides too. You'll be asked to leave when the school term ends (40/50 weeks)..Surf Gumtree, flatroommates for flatshares if you want private accommodation..
