Finally submitted my application, I can now comment on this thread, had to change my mind and start applying 2 days to the deadline :PFinally submitted my application, I can now comment on this thread, had to change my mind and start applying 2 days to the deadline

is it true that one must have received a conditional or unconditional offer from the admitting school b4 applying for this scholarship.
thanks as I await your response

BackToLife:
Thanks my broda.

Quite believe your story... I almost had same experience, except that God intervened... Some of these ladies are skimming snakes.. Sorry to the ladies folks and I'm not trying to make a sexist comment.

wizzyrich:
My opinion though.

But truth be told, the problems of Nigeria is very enormous, one person alone cannot single handedly solve her problems except if everyone comes together willing to solve it.

But I'm sure it won't be possible anymore because these problems are very deep rooted.

bro, it's simple... U take a chunk at a time...
The first issue we need to address is employment. Give 80%-100% tax waivers for all sorts of investors willing to enter into the manufacturing industry, or simply make Nigeria an international transit point for transforming raw goods into finished product... and watch the ripple effect.
However, various government institutions should be empowered by the constitutions to act Independently. It's only then will this suggestion, would become brilliant

ladyF:
Lol...this one is real photoshoot. You guys should stop killing these snakes, you are messing up the good chain, by the time you kill all the snakes in Nigeria and use for peppersoup, you will begin to see the adverse effects of their extinction. LadyF has spoken!

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again

yes... they help to keep the population of rodents in check. if not for them, farmers would have telling a different tale, famine would have engulfed the land.

so Nigerians keep on killing these creatures.

Solecontroller:
Not yet. Due to what happened last year, I'm taking my time.

so I guess you guys that got the link for the numerical part must have scored pretty high scores.
Though I'm still waiting for my own link.

Solecontroller:
Of course.. All screen shots are from my phone.

@solecontroller.. Have you done your Numerical test?

*recent conversation last week with a colleague of mine from PG school in the UK who is now an HR manager with pwc in Nigeria. Dude won't even leave Nigeria without getting a job in Canada despite all our advise of breaking into the market. i am sure he know much more bout securing jobs. Lol.*
* This does not apply to immigrants that came here on a student visa*

lols... career suicide, it's no joke. Taking that step away from reality into uncertainty; gambling of life.
Hello @Mrshinarambo

dustydee:
Here's something worth reading. I hear people say the UK gives you only 4 months to look for a job when in fact it is 12 months + additional 4 months after your studies.

plz, that's a subjective view of the writer and her opinion can't be generalised as regards the immigration policies of the UK, though she is in the rubric of the luckiest few fortunate to get a good job; regardless it's not a guarantee that everybody else would settle down, talk less of getting a job but one can only be hopeful that luck and fate work in one's favour.

dustydee:
google it, my friend.

I was trying to know if the "big four" you were referring to are in your field or do you. mean the normal "BIG FOUR" . lol

dustydee:
EE but your course really doesn't matter as long as you are good and understand the system. Most of the tier 2 jobs then were with the big four.

big four? who are they?

dustydee:
I'll you refrain from making statements of facts if you are not sure.
On the issue of not having enough time to apply for jobs, if between January and April you haven't gotten a job offer (for those that started their masters in September of the previous year) then it is going to be difficult to get one after that. One major problem I Nigerians have is that they believe there are no jobs even before coming. This, I believe, hampers their job search. It's a mind thing. PSW was stopped before I graduated but at least 3 of us in my class got jobs with visa sponsorship (2 Nigerians and 1 Ugandan). My spouse also got a job with visa sponsorship. There are a lot of companies that sponsor work visas and some end up not filling those vacancies. The govt has made it more difficult to hire foriegn non-EU workers but it is still possible if you prepare and sell yourself properly.

Thanks for boosting our confidence to some of us here.
plz what was ur course of study if I may ask?

I think many of this so called western countries are beginning to gradually shut their doors to international students settling down...

Sambar:

plz can you send me a copy of that write up. I'd be glad if could help a broda. "seunspace@gmail.com". Tanx

TrueSenator:
All I see is a product of poor upbringing and failed leadership. Just like Children from different mothers hating and cursing each other while poverty and violence capture all the values from their ignorance.

One thing is certain......the rest of the world is moving on and will never love you more.

Stop all these nonsense and let's grow up....... Our differences should instead be celebrated and not mocked.

... One of the few eggheads on this thread

mayoor15:
Can others that haven't seen an invite....check theirs and tell us what happening because personally I don't get this again

catchdwind4rmkd:
To simplify what HSIM has said, and made add a little:

After getting the right IELTS SCORE (at least 6.0), you need to meet all the criteria summarised above by HSIM. For emphasis,
1. You're 31yrs old or younger as at the time of application
2. You're a recent (within the last 2yrs) ENGINEERING graduate.
3. Your degree was obtained from a recognised university (Australian, Washington Accord, Sydney Accord). If you graduated from a UK or Australian University, you're likely to meet this criteria.

Those are the minimum. So, for your question, to be successful;

1. You need to submit an online application to be considered. This is only certain once you've paid the application fee.
2. You need to upload all required documents, viz
* scanned copies of
i. evidence of degree qualification (certificate and/or transcript)
II. Evidence of age (birth certificate or affodavit)
Iii. Valid Identification (International Passport and/or Drivers Licence)
iv. Valid Travel document (International Passport )
V. Recent passport photo (must meet the stated size or dimension)
Vi. Completed "FORM 80" (This is a duplicate of the online form you've already filled. So, you must save or print out a copy of your online application and use same to fill your form 80 to avoid contradictions.
Vii. Medical Clearance (You can only be able to upload your polio vaccination certificate. Your complete medical statement will be uploaded directly to your file by àny of the assigned clinics you choose to use. You can only do your medical clearance at selected medical centres which are listed on the application website. You're, however, required to complete an online self medical assessment)
Viii. Evidence of Good Character (Police Character Certificate from all countries you've lived in for at least 12 months in the past 10yrs. This too can only be gotten from selected Police offices in the country)
IX. Evidence of English Competency (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE)
X. Proof of Address (bank statement, utility bills, etc)

You don't have to upload all these at the point of submission of application. You have time to do this after you've submitted your application, but the earlier the better.

A case officer will be assigned to you about 2 months from the date of submission of your application. Your case officer may contact you about the status of or decision on your visa application if you've provided all the required evidence. He may also contact you to request for additional documents or evidence if you're yet to submit them.

If you meet all the requirements and have provided all the proofs, you'll definitely be granted the Visa. It takes between between 2 to 6 months to know the outcome of your application. Surprisingly, no proof of fund is required for this visa. I hope I have been able to help. Others can enlighten you more in areas that I've not been detailed.

Best wishes.

If you one bags a degree from a university here in Nigeria, so does it automatically rules out the chances of one getting this visa. Thanks in advance as I wait for ur reply

OtungF:
No, pry sch cert is not required

Nice one, Madam Fiiro *winks*

I'm sceptical about the payment of a thing

yet to get the invite, though I'm still waiting

yuddy2:
im so sorry, been really busy lately. Well, I'm not on sponsorship yet because I really did not try to get one. I can afford to pay fees at least for the 1st semester, for the 2nd semester funding is easily available depending on your rapport with your professors and English language proficiency. You shouldn't let anything deter you from your dreams, not even money. You should know once there is a will, there will always be a way. People of little mind will always find a reason not to excel. So my advise is do all the necessary test, apply like crazy, Source for fundings like crazy and hope for the best.

Thanks Mehn
