Update from my school. I believe most school will definitely choose blended learning approach for the first semester, this will not deter visa application unless one choose to learn from their home country. Hoping that our government will open boarder soon and the rest will be history.
Fingers crossed

Dear ,

As the Vice-Chancellor, I and everyone at Bournemouth University are looking forward to welcoming you to BU in September.
I am excited about the new academic year and I am sure that you are looking forward to it too. We are as committed as ever to providing you with an enjoyable and safe BU student experience - and we can’t wait to get started.

We have spent the last few months working hard to make sure you will be able to enjoy your course, your accommodation and your life as a student when you join us in September. We are determined to offer you the best campus experience possible while keeping you safe at all times.
We are working on the detail of our plans, which will change as government guidance changes. That means we need to be flexible and adapt quickly to changing circumstances. We want to share as much with you as we can now and we will keep you updated as plans change.
Although you have already accepted your offer from BU, once more information is available you can still change your mind and explore other options.

We are looking forward to showing you that while your BU experience may be different to begin with, you will be part of our BU community. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, our campuses will be open to welcome you from September.

Your course
Where possible, specialist facilities on campus will be accessible in a safe and co-ordinated way from September.
Learning will be supported online as a key part of all courses at the start of the academic year. This will include virtual classrooms where you’ll be able to interact further with your lecturers and get to know your classmates. We will be here to support you with learning in this new environment, and we’ll contact you again as soon as possible with more detail about the way your course will be delivered. We’ll also give you more information about sources of support with your learning and your options.
We hope to have a full programme of face-to-face sessions on campus for all courses by the start of the second semester, if government guidelines permit.

Your student experience
We are working hard to ensure our fantastic libraries, student support and some SportBU facilities will be up and running during your first semester. We are following government advice to make sure we create a safe campus by implementing physical distancing measures for all students and staff.
As well as our staff across BU, the Students’ Union at Bournemouth University (SUBU) are planning a wide range of activities and virtual events to help you join clubs and societies, find people who share the same interests as you, and settle into your new community.
You can find out more about all the events and opportunities available when you join us in your ‘Welcome to BU’ guide. This will be sent to you in August and you will have plenty of time to decide what clubs and societies you’d like to join and what activities you’d like to take up.

Your accommodation
If you haven’t already booked, you can visit www.bournemouth.ac.uk/accommodation to see information about types of accommodation available, the booking process and terms and conditions for each option.
Your new home in Bournemouth will be ready for you in September and we are working closely with our accommodation partners to ensure accommodation adheres to government guidance. We will contact you nearer the time with information about this.
I look forward to meeting you in September, in person or virtually, and to seeing you on campus as soon as possible.

Kind regards

Masters in IT. My only worry about the University be say their yanga too much. I no want who go give me wahala

.what Yanga are they doing my dear?

[quote author=pretty1986 post=90733499].what Yanga are they doing my dear?[/quote

I just dey watch them with corner eye.

dhsmalls:
Same course. I can't stay in a student's neighbourhood. it usually isn't conducive for kids. I am traveling with dependents.
I am willing to stay as far as Warrington because it's almost halfway between Manchester and Liverpool and that affords my spouse the opportunity to search for a job in either city.

OH right. Well thought out and I'm definitely taking a cue from that. Though I'm going alone for NOW, might have to move out of Childwall when my family arrives later on.

Pls anyone here who has done interview with Bournemouth university? Pls give me Insight, let me know how your own went..

Pls

dhsmalls:
Anybody attending Liverpool Hope this summer?
Can anybody suggest a safe & decent neighbourhood to rent a 2-3 bedroom in the Liverpool - Warrington area?

Lets talk please

You can message me anytime sir.

I renewed for myself, wife and 2yr old last week Wednesday. It cost 35k each.

I need to renew mine so please if you don't mind, did you get standard (NIN not needed) or enhanced (NIN needed)?
Also, was it processed outside Lagos or at Ikoyi or Alausa?
Was it done yourself or you used extra help?

Thanks.

I did my interview today with university of Chester and I was given an offer as she said I preformed excellently well. Also I had an offer today from Birmingham City University. PLease house kindly advice me, university of Chester offered me msc adult nursing while Birmingham city university offered me msc Cybersecurity. Which should I take based on job prospects and getting tier2 visa after studies.

It seems you do not know what you want to do as your proposed course is opposite of each other. Both courses are on Tier 2 sponsored list. What do you have passion for or are you about just getting PR without focus on your career fulfilment?. Everything depends on you as I cant advise you in this case. You need to know what exactly you want to achieve. Good luck with your choice.

Goodness - these two courses are extreme opposites.

Bros which one can you really do?
Which one can you showcase your talent in? Which one can you easily succeed in, without feeling depressed or bored at some point?
Which one do you have more experience in?

The first one that comes to mind, go for it.
They’re both good choices and have prospects for TIER 2.

All the best

Hello
Please are you considering deferring your admission? I am a bit confused, I got an offer for Masters in Cancer Biology at Sheffield Hallam University.

gsk4reality:


We are here o. Just got an offer.

pretty1986:
.what Yanga are they doing my dear?

They ask that I must pay fees in two weeks to secure my place when I am still watching how events unfold

Thank you very much �� this really helped

Hello

Let me try to help answer a few

1. There is a guide to that on this link, read through and you will see you could isolate in either places, it now depends on how comfortable you might be in a family friends house versus if you have funds for a hotel
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-how-to-self-isolate-when-you-travel-to-the-uk/coronavirus-covid-19-how-to-self-isolate-when-you-travel-to-the-uk

2. Personally, I would say No, and the reason is that sometimes the accommodation you see online may not be the true picture of what you meet when you arrive, plus you might be dealing with a fraudster. I can advise that you check through and filter what you seem to like and can afford. Send an email and perhaps request you view before moving in, some rentals do social distance viewing and some virtually but I'd rather be there personally and look at everything myself, ensure they are working, the size of the room etc

3. Shared accommodation means you will share the common areas with other people and have your room to yourself, meaning you will share toilet, bathroom, kitchen , sitting room etc with others. I don't know what you mean by private but that could be studio and flats and it's the opposite. Again shared accommodation are usually cheaper so it's down to what your preference is and what you can afford.

4. Rent per calendar month (PCM) is cheaper than rent per week (PW). That's the terminology used in accommodation sites

5. It depends on distance to school, closeness to the next bus stop, or the city centre or work, the rents, what bills are included and/or left out. It really depends but my first concern will be distance.

6. I skipped one... I know of Zoopla and Right move, you have to fine-tune your search though to reflect Sunderland. Again remember, the pictures may or may not be what it is, however, I think most agents have their contact emails attached to the accommodation listing, so you can engage them directly. Please remember internet and fraudsters so thread cautiously

Unfortunately, I can't advise on Sunderland because I didn't school there.

I hope this helps.

All the best

Tier 2 visa sponsorship don't come cheap. Even when your discipline is on the shortage list there are so many immigration rules employers don't want to disturb themselves with because there are alternatives they can accomodate and not sponsor. I have seen MSc in IT with Distinction but no job.

The advantage of healthcare jobs on shortage list is that everyone needs the service and there are no alternatives because the UK will not compromise it's standard for practitioners.

So if you love the two options equally and don't mind working for an employer for a long time, I will say you have better chance of getting sponsored with adult nursing.

Nursing and Cyber security? You must be a genius. Please did you use the same qualifications for both or how did it come about?

Please go for nursing, I repeat go for nursing. You can't go wrong studying nursing because as soon as you are done, you can register with the nursing board and you will get a job even if you need sponsorship. Vacancies in healthcare are endless. IT jobs are highly competitive and more so you need to find a sponsor. Just finished my msc in cybersecurity, no hope of finding a tier 2 sponsor. If I could start the process all over, I will go for nursing.

The fact that you haven’t gotten a job yet, doesn’t mean someone else won’t.

Everyone has their own grace.
I don’t see why someone with no interest in nursing should go for it because of work.
Peoples lives are in your hands abeg.

@Justwise and other well-informed gurus here

Good evening everyone.

Please I am asking for a friend.
They want to know between Forensic Psychology and Clinical Psychology which has a better prospect after graduation in the UK. It's for MSc.
Thank you

Thanks for all your advices. I will go for nursing. Although I graduated as a mechanical engineer and have been working as an assistant nurse for close to two years. So I applied for nursing with my engineering qualifications and backed it up with my health care experience, that was how I got the admission. And as for Cybersecurity I just applied hoping to get a positive outcome which I did. Thanks all, we move to the next stage

Do you apply with personal Statement and Reference from ur current employer?

Thanks.

I'm in Abuja and did mine at their HQ. Not sure what you mean by Standard/Enhanced NIN one this is however sure, you'd need your NIMC number when applying so you can either register at any NIMC office before going or you do both at the NIS office. I also had help, he practically helped with all the running around.

Dont mind the guy jor. That is y sometimes I ignore some questions. The guy is just disturbing us.
Since you already have experience in nursing, everyone knows nursing is the right and best option.
