Kuulme:
Is there anyone for nursing interview for University of Lincoln or any other Uni? Please let's rub minds together.

CULLED FROM NAIRALAND

University of Hertfordshire
Dear Nursing applicants,
Here is a list of questions I was asked during my interview before the admission:
*I was asked about my personal experience, as stated in my Personal statement
*I was given case studies and asked a few questions based on that. (How I would react in such situation)
*I was asked to talk about a time i had an argument with someone
*I was asked about leadership qualities and how well I have performed in such role (based on my CV)

Someone else I got know was asked different questions, like
*A story on why he chose to study nursing (from personal statement)
*Whether he has ever taken care of a sick person or vulnerable person

My advice,
*Please read the NHS policies, the 6Cs of NHS, NHS code and NHS values. These helped me appropriate give answers to the questions
*Read about recent trends in UK Nursing - latest happenings in UK Nursing
*Know your personal statement very well, and if someone else assisted you one way or the other, learn how to personalize it.
*Read about your school and know why you chose the school. Be interested in the school and know a lot about it

All the best

kayguy2:
Congratulations

Sent you a pm bro

Odedenshi1:
Thank you. Already found all the answers I needed.

Hi bro, sent you a pm.

Yemzzyy:
Hi, I really need your help, amongst the documents required to be submitted, phot identification needs to be certified by a barrister or solicitor. How did you do this please

I have responded to your email. Use your biodata page of your passport as photo identification. Let’s communicate via email so as not to derail the thread.

It’s a very very straight forward process. You don’t need any barrister or solicitor

Yemzzyy:
Did you have to get a letter from a lawyer? Cos that is one of the requirements I’m seeing on the website

I did everything myself. It’s pretty straight forward. Use the email option

Yemzzyy:
Hi everyone, the uni I applied to has requested to see my previous visa denial letter which was in 2015 before they can give me CAS and I don’t have that letter again, does anyone know how I can access a denial letter

You didn’t mention the country where you got the refusal so I am assuming it is the UK.

I don’t know how fast you need this letter, however using this link will give you full details of your UK immigration history including the letter you seek. I received mine after 3 weeks of application.

TundeChris:
For university of sunderland, when you say english proficiency letter what do you mean? Where do i get that from?

A letter gotten from your university that describes English language as a medium of instruction. In other words, a letter that says that you were taught in English language.

Just thought to drop this for those who needs it;

English Language Requirement:

Sheffield Hallam: waec/neco

Oxford Brookes: waec/neco with scratch card for verification.

Uni of Chester: waec/neco

Uni of Salford: waec/neco

Uni of Sunderland: English proficiency letter

Leeds Beckett: waec only

Uni of Brighton: IELTS or equivalent

Bournemouth university: English proficiency letter if you graduate within 2 years of making your application, IELTS or equivalent.

When I say equivalent, I mean toefl, Pearson test e.t.c and not our regular SSCE with at least C6 in English language

You can add yours

Tomyusf141:
Just thought I should let this out there.
The PSW is an offer that every student is eligible to but yet conditional. Idk if you guys saw the “brightest and best international students part “
So I’m guessing that means if you graduate with (distinction or merit) only.
But if na pass or fail you carry
Muritala straight !!!
Have a great day everyone

Lol!!! Forget grammar, they simply mean students who successfully completes their degrees.

That’s the only condition.

Iyafife:
Lol, but this is funny though, if I come born another pikin nko after I get graduate 'whatever' will they return d baby to naija ni

Pikin wey you born go get status pass you sef cos the pikin no dey on any visa category yet. Pikin wey no get visa wey dey live for UK legally na boss pikin. Nothing like illegal immigrant or overstayer or anything of such.......... Just joking

But normally nothing can happen cos the baby was born in the UK.

Damidolly:
I dount if this is the interpretation. UK cannot tell you that your dependent cannot come over,highly rush counties self dey do dependent visa.

They actually can. It’s their country it’s their rules.

No be by force

Iyafife:
Please oo, kindly elaborate for better understanding. Does this means after July 1st, no more dependants for tier 4 visa?

If your dependant did not enter UK when you are on student visa, you cannot bring them in when you are on psw visa.

If you travel to naija to get married on psw visa, your spouse won’t be able to apply for dependant visa.

RalphJean:
I would use Ms

Okay. I asked this because in my uni admission offer I was referred to as Mrs.

I just wanna know if I should stick to it or email them that I prefer to be addressed as Ms. in future documents.

Does it matter?


Ps: I am married and I have my marriage certificate.

Quick one guys: Can i use a “Mrs” with a maiden name?

Aprokodaughter:
Check leeds trinity university as well.

Their Journalism course is also accredited by Bjtc and Nctj.

If you have good grades you can check university of cardiff and university of sheffield

Thank you. I checked the nctj & bjtc sites for the accredited schools like you said.

omopapa:
If u need a licence or registration by a professional body before you can practice, the professional body will not grant u the licence if your degree isn’t accredited

Hence, I’d avoid any uni that their course hasn’t been accredited by the professional body

Thanks, I would avoid such schools. But how is it that some schools offer courses that aren’t accredited by the body regulating it? This is amusing honestly!!!

justwise:
If the course is not accredited it means that employers will not be able to verify it, there is no way to know if the awarding university meets high standards of quality for that course, if you have a job already then accreditation does not matter that much

Thanks

Bourne007 Omopapa Justwise LagosismyHome mimilyrics aprokodaughter and others

Are there any implications if I study a course that is not accredited by a regulating body. In my case, I am going for MA-Journalism.

I noticed that journalism in the UK is accredited by NCTJ & BJTC.

Some of the schools I have in mind don’t have the course accredited by these bodies. Schools like MMU, SHU, Uni of Chester and Leeds Beckett don’t have this course accredited yet they offer it. I went the extra mile of checking their websites just to be sure. (nctj & bjtc websites).

From experience, what do you have to say or advice.

Bourne007:
No worries. All the best mate

SAR received today after 3weeks . 50 pages pdf, very detailed. Biometrics, filled application forms, refusal notes (2008, 2012, 2013) e.t.c. I haven't applied for a new visa yet though but there is this deep relief down my spine. I must confess, i really appreciate. *thumbs up

Adoreberry:
Unfortunately I couldn’t recall all that happened then but I didn’t use agent am sure of that.
Is there a way I can request from UK.gov site how to get this info?
Thanks for all your responses.

Same shoes. I had my first refusal in 2008. Subsequent ones in 2012 & 2013.. I can’t remember the exact months as well.

Don’t use the online appplication except you have someone in the uk as you will be needing a UK address. Send them a mail and you will be prompted on what to do.

It’s pretty straight forward.

Bourne007:
I just checked. He used to live in the UK during his MSc days so he used a former address. All communication was done by email though and Request took 2 weeks to process.

Maybe someone you know in the UK can help process it for you

So after several back and forth mails and supplying them with the information they needed, my subject access request is being processed. Thanks for the insight.

I decided not to use my UK contacts anymore since they said my request can be processed using my naija address.

Bourne007:

Thanks for the assistance. My mom and sis live in the uk (British citizens). I will ask either of them to take it up for me.

I have been looking for a way to get those exact dates gan gan so I can put in accurate details when filling my visa application form against May 2021 intake.

Thanks once again, I appreciate.

Bourne007:
Sure. Just request for the basic and you will get a
summary of your immigration history with all the exact dates.

Thanks for the information but while filling the form (basic request), it won’t let me go past where it asks for an address. It’s insisting I must be living in the uk and asking for my uk address.

Bourne007:
In order to avoid misleading or deception, just jejely request for your dependant's immigration history

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration

A friend did his recently and wasn't up to 2 weeks when all info was sent back.

Mr Bourne, can I use this link to get the actual dates of my 3 refusals. I can’t remember the months, but I surely remember the years. 2008, 2012 & 2013. OR do I just fill any month and use the summary box to explain that I have lost my refusal letter hence the reason why I can’t remember the actual months.

Is it possible as a Nigerian (masters student) to apply for the Federal Skilled Worker Program from the Uk.

kingsilly:
I’ve been seeing words thrown both way, so I had to gather information before posting. Gbp is up Ngn is down
Below is a screenshot from someone in Uk visit visa and image from his denials and calculation by the embassy and date
He was denied visa on the 26th of November
Below are the rates. If you still think you are right after this, nothing can be done

TKO

Wahala for who sabi and who no sabi use oanda currency converter. What I will advice is to use the exchange with the higher rate sha, just to be on the safe side.

From testimonies, I think both are correct.

Quick one guys. My sister is a British citizen, when filling my uk application form do I also need to fill her husband as a relative. Or only my sister is ok.

Also in my wife’s form, she would be filling my sister as a relative (sister-in-law), does she also need to fill her husband? @Justwise @LagosismyHome @mimilyrics

Still awaiting my husband passport collection email.

I’ll still come back and share my husband visa approval news by God’s grace.

Thanks everyone.

Congrats to you and your husband. I sent you a nairaland pm, thanks.

justwise:
Declare any visa refusal, be honest when completing the application form.

How about in a case where you can’t remember the exact date and reason for refusal.

What do we fill in the column where we declared that “yes” we have been refused a visa before.
