What's the average score ? What's the criteria for which they invite for the interview? Cos I know of some people that scored 33 have been called for the interview and others that scored 37 have not been contacted. Any reasonable explanation ?

Hello peps , how was the interview ?

djbiskit:
Need your thoughts.

1. Can NDDC pay the awarding university all neccessary fess if you decide to do their online program and remain here in naija cos of your job.

2. Would you forgo NDDC SCHOLARSHIP already awarded, if you just got good paying job with an annual salary of over N5,000,000 with a car here in nigeria. You have to choose between going to some UK school and getting Masters and then coming back to get a job OR accept this job offer as stated above (by the way I Already have a Masters degree from UNILAG.

My fellow nairalanders, your thoughts pls

Please do not throw away yor job for a masters abroad. I have several friends that went for masters in the uk. Almost all of them still came back to Nigeria and are job hunting. I would advise that you take the job and do your masters in Unilag or if in a few years yu can take sabbatical and go and do your masters abroad. Masters is not everything!

but can nddc sponsor an online UK MSc?

Hello people! una don collect upkeep una don quiet. lol!

Please guys that deferred till September 2015 how far? Have you started preparations?

I have applied for my CAS and they asked for a new sponsorship letter because the old one said 2014. So I sent them the letter NDDC gave me for change of school and deferment. I am hoping they accept it.

Hi michelle5567, trust you are doing great. I asked for my ATAS certificate for a visa and was successful. Hoping to ask the school for my CAS. Which school you apply to? We could go about the process together, sharing useful info and all.

I applied to Manchester Metropolitan University. They say I need a new sponsorship letter because the old one says it will expire 6 months from the date on the letter (13th October 2014). I felt this would happen but kept praying it went through. Now I have to find how to get another letter from NDDC and I thought all the NDDC running around was over. Chai!

@ Bethiano, why posting what u just posted? this is not the true spirit of a fellow comrade. we are all praying and hopeful but u jst spoilt our fun and anticipation by throwing abuses and curses on this wonderful forum.

Your post shows u don't trust and believe in God. U see @ Bethiano, in 2012 NITDA scholarship, something happened to me which I still give God all Glory and has moved on in Life.

I was shortlisted for the NITDA scholarship. I passed the exam and was invited to collect my AWARD letter. On Getting to Abuja on the said Day, I was asked to Present my Local Government Origin which I did. The second person from my state was a Female and coincidentally, we were from the same Local Government Area and Village.

Guess what, I was told that there is no way the scholarship can be given to two people from the same Local Government Area. Despite I scored higher than the Lady, I was denied my Award and the person that came 3rd who happens to be a Guy and my then classmate in the University and who has congratulated me on my Award was called and the AWARD given to him.

@ Bethiano, I didn't sue NITDA neither did I place a curse or abuses cos I believed it was the will of God.

My man, u must not know any god-father to be favoured by God cos God chooses to bless whoever he choses

pls can u help me wit d materials u used in studying 4 d exams?

Guys, I trust you have all been doing great.

I am on the verge of applying for a visa which means I need to present my bank statement. However, people have been saying the embassy will bounce any application when they review the bank statement and realize that there was a sudden influx of cash within the period (28 days) of application. I need counsel from guys that left last year and applied to Cranfield University or any school where they were required to present a bank statement.

GUY. Since u ar on scholarship, u dont need bank statement. Scholarship award letter showing your course of study, session and amount of award for living expenses and accommodation is what u need. Your Tb cert should also b Student with Scholarship. gud luck

The scholarship can only take care of tuition fees and so I will need to present proof that I can cater for my living expenses.

@spawne ... yh u nid an account statement . u can use that of a relative like father or mother and add a letter saying that they are willing to bear the cost moving forward

This post was originally published on 13 July 2015, at a point when the government’s new policy was not yet confirmed. It was updated on 14 July 2015 to reflect the official government statements confirming the new measures as well as the initial industry reaction.

The British government confirmed new rules this week that will eliminate the opportunity for further education (FE) students from outside the European Union to work part-time during their studies in the UK. In addition, non-EU FE students – that is, those enrolled in non-degree post-secondary programmes – will be required to leave the country at the conclusion of their studies and will only be able to apply for a work visa from outside the UK.

Home Secretary Theresa May tabled a Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules to this effect in the British House of Commons on 13 July 2015.

In an accompanying statement to the House, Minister of Immigration James Brokenshire said, “The Government is reforming the student visa system to reduce net migration and tackle abuse. These changes will help achieve this, whilst ensuring the UK maintains a highly competitive offer and continues to attract the brightest and best international students.”

Under the new policies confirmed this week:
◾As of 3 August 2015, new students from outside the European Union enrolled at [I]public FE colleges in the UK[/I] will lose the right to work for up to 10 hours per week (and full-time between semesters).

◾As of 12 November 2015, further education students will not be permitted to apply for a work visa at the conclusion of their studies unless they first leave the country.

◾Also as of 12 November, the length of FE visas will be reduced from three years to two. And further education students will be prevented from extending their visas unless they are demonstrably progressing in their studies and unless the institution in which they are enrolled is affiliated with a university.
