Please anyone going to Queen Margaret University or knows anyone there already?

Please does anyone know anybody that is going to Queen Margaret University or also applied for this Jan intake .

Please did anyone applied to University of Law here or knows anyone that is in the school? I need some information because I just got an offer and I want to proceed but I want to know better first from someone that knows the school already

Please guys, who can recommend schools in the UK that can offer admission to a student that has just been denied student visa recently…

Hello everyone, please I need your advice.

I recently received a conditional offer from Anglia Ruskin University for the next intake, I actually applied for a UK student visa for the September intake earlier this year, but I was denied after the UKVI interview. The refusal wasn’t due to any fraudulent documents — it was mainly because I couldn’t clearly convince the consular officer of my study intentions. The decision letter only came through recently, about a week ago, so when I was applying to Anglia Ruskin University, I didn’t declare that I had been denied before, since at that time the refusal decision hadn’t officially been issued.

My question now is:
👉 Should I inform Anglia Ruskin University that I’ve had a previous visa refusal (and explain the situation), or
👉 Since I already have a conditional offer and I’m about to proceed with payment and CAS process, is there no need to mention it since this new application is with a different school and I’ve learned from my previous experience?
Please I need your advice guys
Thank you!

Please I will like to get in contact with any of them cos I just got my conditional offer and I will just like to know someone who we can be sharing update about the process so I don’t miss anything out

Please does anyone know anything about Anglia Ruskin University or has anyone gotten an admission for Jan intake

Please when denied a student visa for this September intake because of an interview, is it compulsory when reapplying to another school to let them know you have been denied before or it’s not necessary and there is no way the school can know that

Good afternoon, please I need you guys help, UKVI just recently denied my student visa after an interview with them for sept intake , they sent it after waiting for almost 3 months, so now the schools doesn’t allow me to differ and they only want to refund … so now I need to find a school that offers any business analytics program with an advance practice cos I will love a 2 years program … please I would love if any body can recommend any school in the UK that offers an MSc in business analytics or related courses and that their tuition deposit is around €4000 or thereabouts, also is it compulsory I tell the new school I’m applying to that I was recently denied a UK visa
