Hello everyone,

I want to change my career path and apply for a BSc in nursing. I already have a first degree in Education from Nigeria.

Are visas granted to people who make such career changes and go for 2nd undergraduate degrees?

Also, I want to go with my family. How many years proof of funds should I show for an undergraduate degree?

I'll appreciate your responses.

Thank you.

For undergraduate studies, you can't go with your family.

This won’t be possible for an undergraduate.

Try the 2 year M.Sc Adult Nursing program; some universities take students without a previous science-related degree.
It's a postgraduate program, so you can take your family along.

The UK immigration border won't need to check your CAS, your visa is enough. The most important thing is notifying your school and getting your visa.

Cheers

Okay yes. I have also confirmed this from UKEAS. Thanks again. Cheers

mdeeokoye:
Okay great. Just got mine today as well.

Oh cool.

@dhsmall: how long did yours take after submitting the required docs?

Royalty63:
@Hermoney I'm also going to university of Sussex this September. Studying Msc management of information technology. I just got my offer letter on Monday.

@Royalty63. That's great! We have the same destination. I'm going for the MA Media Practice for Development & Social Change.

Congratulations on your admission. I got mine last week so I've been gathering info for the visa process. What's your next step? Let's connect.

Anyone else going to Sussex? Let's all connect.

PG certificates are usually shorter than masters even though they are on the same level as masters. If you enrol on a masters program and for some reason can't complete your dissertation, the school might be able to award you a PG certificate.
See the link below for a more detailed explanation on the difference:
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/postgraduate-study/postgraduate-diplomas-and-certificates

Most of the PG certificate courses I've seen are either part-time or for UK/EU students though based on the info in the link, international students with great English language skills can get on the program.
If a school sponsors you for that, it will most likely be on a short-term study visa since its duration is typically not up to 9 months for the full-time study.

I'm sure that you can get tier 4 sponsorship for PG diplomas though and I've seen schools offering this to international students.

Oby200:
This is such a wonderful platform. Thank you all for the job you do here.

Please I want to ask; what’s the difference between going for the pg certificate version and the masters version of a course.

I noticed pg certificate is cheaper and I am more inclined towards it. Are international students allowed to do pg cert, can tier 4 visa be granted for it and is it usually one year too?

Sorry if my questions are stupid but I haven’t been able to confirm for sure from university websites.

Thank you

Please for those that have done their biometrics visa interview,I need the list of documents to take to the visa application centre on the appointment date for self service.

Are all the names on the birth certificate the same as on your passport even though they've been wrongly labelled but not misspelled? If yes, an affidavit should help.

I'm not sure about the LG certificate but it should be tenable since it's a government issued document and UKVI has not explicitly stated that birth certificates must come only from the NPC.

Mobilipia:
Good Evening everyone. My kids birth certificate has an error ,my middle name was written in a place were surname supposed to be, so I went to the health center today to get a new one and they told the the one from national population commission has finished they only have the one from local government, my question is will the one from local government be recognized by the embassy?

You can get an affidavit to show that both name variants refer to you.

Bodyco05:
I quickly need a clarification from the house.
All my documents caries three names aside my passport and TB certificate with two names (surname inclusive). Should I do something about it?

It depends on your personal situation. Do you intend to return to your current employer after your studies? Do you want to prove this? If yes, you'll need a letter from your company stating your employment details (when you joined the organisation, current remuneration, position/job level e.t.c.) and also stating that you've been granted study leave for the period you'll be in the UK studying.

If you choose to include this in your application, the ECO might ask you what your expected pay and job level will be when you return to the organisation after your course. You might also be asked what value you expect from the course and how that value will be beneficial to your employer.

bayosegun:
@mimi, pls is employment letter part of docs to selfupload for t4 application?

Thank you very much. I got the Local government own, so I'll just use it.

Thanks for your response, very helpful

Does anyone have a clue on how to reach IOM? I've sent an email yet no response on how I can register for my TB test.

Click on the drop down menu on the left. Select 'contact' and then 'get in touch'. Send them a message from here, they'll respond. I was able to reach them via this, after trying for days.

Your passport, photocopy of your passport, print document check list, originals of all documents you have uploaded, printout of the email from TLS confirming your appointment date and your ATM Incase you are paying for courier to deliver your passport or paying for text message alert

Your school will issue you a new cas showing the last date of entry which in your case is 16th Oct. So you have no problem with UK immigration because a copy of the updated cas will be sent to them as well. I was in that same situation once

HerMoney:
I've received tremendous help and clarification here. I wanna say thank you guys. Nairalanders are the best.

Now that I'm clearer on the process, I'm still a bit concerned that I won't be able to make it in time for my welcome week, which is Sep 21 and start of lectures, which is Sep 28.

My school, Sussex University stated on their website that due to the current crisis and the unforeseen delays, they will allow students resume as late as October 16, 2020 and before that time, offer online classes.

My question now is, will UK immigration allow students entry into the country even after our start date has passed? For US, I know they refuse visas when you are applying past your start date and don't like to see students travel after this date. Is it the same for UK?

I should meet up with this Oct 16th date. I've emailed the school also with this question but while I await...

Anyone??

Who is going to Bournemouth University?

I am. Still waiting to receive my CAS. Whats your status

Hello good morning everyone,
This is my first time on this platform.

Please I would like to enquire about the student visa requirement on how to apply.
I got admission since March at the university of hull for masters in chemical engineering for septemeber2020 and unfortunately for me, I was not certain I would go. But I have decided to go.

Is it possible I can still make this September entry?
Also if I plan to defer, how can I go about the process and well the bank statement. My dad is my sponsor.

Alright. Thanks alot

Please @mimilyrics and those that have done this

At what point do we add dependents to the tier4 application. How do I go about it as I have already gotten to the payment page for the principal applicant.

Thank you

I filled the forms on Monday and I found that you can't add dependants to the principal applicant's application form directly, instead you have to fill a separate form for each dependant and make payment for them separately.

At the start of each dependant's application, you will be asked for the details of the principal applicant, including their name, passport number and GWF number (a code issued at the end of the principal applicant's process, after all fees have been paid) which will be used to link the applications of dependants to the principal applicant

18 of August and 19 are available now. Good luck

1. Do you have all the requirements ready?..all the money needed in your bank account for 28?

If your answer to all that question is No then defer your admission to Jan or next Sept because you can't make it..

Thank you for your response.
I have my ATAS and offer letter ready..
Also what do u mean by bank account for 28 and well as TB test?
Thank you once again
