Msc Psychology conversion is for those who don't have an undergraduate degree in Psychology.
Okay thanks. Any Management or leadership or Economics course would have been a better option for his background and work experience.

Confirm that this is possible from your admin team. Some schools don't allow that switch, even when the courses are related. I know a friend that tried to switch from MSC Computer Management to full on Information and Artificial technology or so. They refused his request. International business to Psychology is a big leap.

Yea, the course is for people who didn't study in their undergraduates.
@Stenon
I have my TRCN already.

Is it compulsory to get a letter of introduction or study leave from employer because of my study gap when applying for visa?

You're the best. That was quite concise yet comprehensive. I'm more informed now about Cranfield.

Hopefully we'll meet one day at Cranfield (if God orchestrates my way to that place). Thanks & regards.

@ Yemsot FYI. it's called PVG in Scotland, but DBS in England. I think both should be the same processing , but try and read more information about it online, or try and ask your school more questions about it.

Thank you so much. I guess I'll let the people over there pick it up for me.

Not really, Psychology comprises of many field altogether. Industrial Psychology, organizational psychology , combined with my 6 years work experience in business field... so I don’t actually have much issue on that. I have 3 professional courses to back it up (project management, Human Resource management and Health & safety management), so with all ds, it can fly and I can defend it in interview if d need comes up..

Cov Uni also has a career team to review your CV and advice. They also usually have Job fairs on campus where companies come to talk to potential graduates. My only complain was that most companies were not Tier 2 licensed so it was no use for international students although i heard that was going to be improved on. For internship,some faculties esp business school help advertise internship positions in companies, i know i saw a couple at the Willam Morris building, try and find out when you get on campus but be aware that this is usually part of the study program not just summer breaks.

I hope this helps

Cheers

Not sure of what your definition of Big is. But see attached for list of Tier 2 and 5 Licensed companies. They are qualified to issue a COS to work under the Tier 2 Visa, one of the routes that could qualify for an Indefinite Leave to Remain(ILR)

@others can jump in and offer more advice if you need more

duchess90 has made some good points.
Check the list in the link. Any company not on the tier 2 sponsor's list cannot sponsor an international student except the company applies for a tier 2 sponsorship license. A company doesn't need to be as big as BMW to be a tier 2 sponsor.

That's the mistake most international students are making. Don't wait till you finish your course before looking at the companies, start now, mark them all, look at their requirements and start working on your self.#mytwocents.

CoS is not just an employment letter wey you just fit jam for express road. The requirement alone is scary for most employers. It's easier to have a plan B apart from eyeing or focusing just on the CoS.

I applied for Social work, the school called(through dia representative) and said, I must have 2.1 & also foreign English test. I wanted to go for Psychology in society, it’s for September. I asked for available course for January, the only course I could pick was lnternational Business. I don’t want September/October batch be so I don’t want pressure.. I don’t know when Nigeria will open dia airspace for me to return and apply for my visa. So I moved it to January, by January I will be in Nigeria to start my documentation.. when I get there I will change to any course that can benefit me in future.
