Please guys, i am planning to study Data science for masters, am a pharmacist here in Nigeria, whats the possibility of switching to that course and also is it easy to get jobs if one isnt planning on returning to Nigeria

Good data science practice requires domain knowledge so, good domain knowledge will count in finding job. In your case, this would be knowledge in pharmaceutical area.

Aside those, you need good data science skills which includes sufficient programming experience. This is because an MSc in Data Science doesn't mean an employer will prefer you to a BSc holder having good statistical analysis or good python programming skills who is a resident.

In summary skills and experience counts, though a distinction will help.

Some of you are obviously a clique

Please don’t sound entitled, you’re the one who needs help and not the other way round.


As I’ve mentioned earlier , just apply to those schools and make a decision once accepted.

@dhsmall and @Tomifolake. I responded to your Nairaland mail requests last week but didn't receive any messages from neither of you. I hope you both got my replies.

Please let's connect and sort out our accommodations.

arhyur:
I have checked but the information is not available on their website that’s why I’m asking people who may have applied there if they were given any discount.

Check under fees and/or scholarships!

Cardiff Met. Offers £1500 scholarship. I got an offer with them.

arhyur:
Hi guys, please which of these schools give discounts and how much?
Wolverhampton
Cardiff met
Coventry
Plymouth
Kingston
Thanks

Skymoore1004:
Still doesn’t change the fact fam
Louder for the people at the back
@ LaaJiblik is right. No one got database all of the universities here. It’s totally impossible that you did not find any information about scholarships or discounts on their websites.
Check again properly

Yeah, but this is different. Someone gave me a different opinion from what I've found on internet. That shows I did some research na.

I appreciate you all o. Biko...

dami24:


That means they offer 3500 scholarship? Is it automatic?

Yes it is

Thank you

SAMDEEA123:


Yes it is

Are you going to Teesside? Or you are already there

Also, pls I saw some people say it’s 2k discount they give. So I’m wondering if it’s different for different people.

Yes

justwise:


1. CAS

2. Documents listed in your CAS

3. TB test result

4. School fees + maintenance money

(a) £1,265 per month for living costs if you are studying in inner London for the majority of your study (more than 50% of your study time)

(b) £1,015 per month for living costs if you are studying in outer London or anywhere else in the UK, for the majority of your study (more than 50% of your study time)

The money should be kept in your account for 28days weekends included (school fees + maintenance money) ending no more than
31 days before your application.

Please considering proof of funds, if I already have a place to stay (e.g with my relative), do I still need to show the full 1015 per month since its maintenance funds.

LaaJiblik:


Yes

Oh okay. Thanks. I hope I get up to that too �

I greet d house, is Ulster university a good uni?
Jux got an offer from them

Why did you apply to them, if you had doubts?
Plus what do you mean by “good uni”? What is your definition of “good”?

There are more jobs in Biomedical Sciences. A Biomedical Scientist can work in:
- Histology
- Haematology
- Virology
- Microbiology
- Biochemistry
- Molecular Biology

Bioinformatics is restricted to molecular genetics only

Hello, how many years experience does a Nigerian trained biochemist seeking HCPC certification to register as a clinical scientist need to make the application successful?

I am starting MSc pharmacology and Biotechnology in Sheffield Hallam university by September 2020.
1. Who is going to this school by September?
2. I want to go with my husband as my dependent. Can we use an uncles statement of account that will cover for the both of us?
3. Do schools request for statement of account before issuing CAS?
4. Is it wise to find and pay for accommodation from here before going to UK, do they as for such in VISA interview.

This is unnecessary FR

1. Aye

2. NO!!! Your husband is ‘man enough’ to have the money in his account. You are ”Woman enough” to have money in your account.

3. Some schools do; some don’t.

4. No. It’s wiser to physically see what you are paying for.

Hope you know there is a difference between Experience & RELEVANT experience?

Do you mean someone who obtained a BSc degree in Biochemistry from Nigeria? If yes, I really really really doubt that you can register for HCPC even with a UK Biochemistry BSc degree.

Whatever fam, was only a question

Morning All, please what is the update on interstate travel and the resumption of flights? Thanks

Please I would like to confirm that the study visa application doesn’t include police report? Haven’t heard much about this here.

Tier-4 visa does not require Police report. Police report is for Canada study visa.

With my own understanding, The course you choose to study, the university and the location of your university will determine that. The school will also notify you if you will need a police clearance. I will be studying MSc Adult Nursing in September and my school has requested I should come with police clearance at enrolment. Confirm with your uni to be properly guided. Hope this make sense.

I see! Thanks

1.) I understand the difference between experience and RELEVANT experience

2.)Yes, i meant a Biochemistry degree from Nigeria

3.) A biochemist can be HCPC registered as a CLINICAL SCIENTIST, not as a Biomedical Scientist with a degree in Biochemistry


Modified: i'm volunteering at a government owned laboratory to gather more experience.
