Hello guys,
I am not too happy but am sure all is well. I've been searching endlessly for schools that offer Masters Degree for HND students but all to no avail. I never realize how unfortunate HND certificate is compared to B.sc until now. I've been on this thread for a while, reading transcripts, suggestions, opinions etc. I thought i would have the same privilege to share my success stories like the rest. Its just so sad i can't visualize the dream coming true. I'm sorry am not being pessimistic, that's just how i feel right now. Congrats Ratchy, texrem etc.
Love this thread anyways.... It very competitive out there so i feel you, even those with BSC still get rejection . Its not easy but dont be discourage ....... Maybe you can apply for a PGD program(outside of the US) first before a masters. Or target one of those countries that have free tuition like Germany or Nordic and do a PGD first ....... UK do accept HND but UK so expensive and you wont gain anything back in what you put it, so UK for now is not worth it. Maybe their immigration policy will change if they leave EU . Make we dey see . Also have you had WES evaluate your transcript , because if WES grades it as BSC equivalent then you can go back to this email and ask to review your case based on WES evaluation. However that is speculation on my part that WES will equate BSC and HND as equal . I dont know for sure but explore that option Best of luck........never give up if you want something . If there is life there is a way . ....... 3 Likes |

Hello guys,
I am not too happy but am sure all is well. I've been searching endlessly for schools that offer Masters Degree for HND students but all to no avail. I never realize how unfortunate HND certificate is compared to B.sc until now. I've been on this thread for a while, reading transcripts, suggestions, opinions etc. I thought i would have the same privilege to share my success stories like the rest. Its just so sad i can't visualize the dream coming true. I'm sorry am not being pessimistic, that's just how i feel right now. Congrats Ratchy, texrem etc.

Hi Everyone,
My Visa was approved Wednesday morning and the whole interview was less than 2 mins. I was asked only 3 question. No document was asked.
I will post the transcript here later in the weekend, also the lesson learned from the start to the end. Hopefully someone would learn from it.
Thanks.
Thanks to gunther6, sirriddy for answering my questions and thanks to those that refused to answer.

Love this thread anyways.... Question for you bro. Did u evaluate your transcript? If not, evaluate your transcript, make enquiry to any school of your choice by sending them your transcript and ask them what courses u will need to take for pre-masters. Or better still, after evaluating your transcript, send it to your school of choice and apply for undergraduate as transfer student after which you can apply for msc. Talking from experience, u have a better chance of getting your visa. If you go through that line, u stand a better chance of getting employment than someone who came in only for MSc. 1 Like |

VO: What do they do?
Me: They run a company that is involved in handling building contracts and real estate management. They also own a hotel in PH.
