Hello good people, It seems this whole thing is heading somewhere. While digging again, I just found out that Salford just added a new course Financial Technology. I seem to be satisfied with it based on my initial concern about the management choice.

https://beta.salford.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate/financial-technology-fintech

But it looks like the University is not yet decisive if they are starting with this session. There is a pop up that reads

New programme: Salford Business School is delighted to present this new programme, aimed at both recent graduates and professionals with a financial, IT or business background looking to expand their understanding of technology in finance.

Subject to academic approval, the programme will open in September 2020. If you want to register your interest, please email:

UK / EU Course Enquiries enquiries@salford.ac.uk
International Enquiries mail to: international@salford.ac.uk

That "Subject to academic approval" clause is my concern. If they have not made up thier mind about it by now, I don't know....

Also, I hope sending a mail to indicate interest won't give me a negative kick back since I had earlier secured admission for a course with them.

Your advice are appreciated. Thanks

Greetings to Everyone in the House!

You guys are doing a great job.

I got admission/offers to study MSc Project

Management from the following schools:

RGU
NTU
MMU
BCU
SALFORD

I am okay with their respective tuition fees, course

contents and structures.

They're all accredited by APM and some by PMI.

However, where I need your advice, is the cities these

schools are located.

Which of these cities have a good job prospect after graduation? Again, no one can determine this. THE CITY DOES NOT CARRY JOB AND GIVE YOU AS A RESIDENT. Else everyone one in London or Manchester will be employed. It all boils down to your efficiency and what you have to offer in a job. Don’t restrict yourself to your environment. As you’re studying, be applying to jobs in other cities & countries if possible. You don’t know where your luck lies, don’t get too comfortable in a particular city because you’re familiar with the environment

Low cost of living (including accommodation)? Cost of living in the U.K. honestly depends on the area in any city you’re heading to. London is the only place that’s super expensive. The rest you can find an area not close to city centre that’s affordable. Check SpareRoom, Gumteee, Rightmove for ideal prices to look out for. Transport fares , food etc are relatively the same. Perhaps only £1 or £2 difference.

Low crime rate? The U.K. is a safe place I will say except from London with terrorist attacks. Every country has crime, so you just have to be careful and watchful all the time. You’ve got bad guys everywhere. However bigger cities like Birmingham, Manchester will slightly have a higher crime rate than NTU, RGU

Friendly to International students? and so on. U.K. na hub of international students. There’s a high chance of seeing a Nigerian or african or Asian in every street. RGU/BCU are headquarters for Nigerians . Apply today, get offer tomorrow. MMU is in Manchester which is a big city for tourists, so very friendly. Salford is close to Manchester, so the same. NTU should be the same in Nottingham. Just always know that they’re racist everywhere, so learn to dey your dey and do what’s right at all times.

I would appreciate any other advice/ suggestions about

these cities.

Thanks.

Still here in Nigeria, making plans and searching options.. no possibility is left out.. you can never tell which information can meet your need. and now I a mnot offended..although your last words reminded me of the idiom.. curiosity ...( don't mind me.. I am an old school mystery fiction lover.. you could say a budding amateur sherlock holmes's partner..lol..just kidding)..

mamacajah:
Precisely my point when I wrote "things have changed"... which is why my counsel is really look before you leap.. UK right now needs people more than ever....so why not make yourself versatile and appealing to not only them but other developed nations. Let's learn to be more long sighted when planning this investments ..think outside the box..is this program I am investing in now able to help build a good foundation for my desired tomorrow? 5yrs, 10 yrs, 15 yrs from now?... that needs to be your driving force.. for me IT is the top choice but as is evidenced, without experience, the degree can only take you so far... but it is doable. this is the millenial age people..anything is possible, as long as you work at it!

I would always advise any body embarking on this journey, spend time researching everything about the place you want to go to, why you want to go there and devise the right plan/strategy of getting there, within the right means of course . Au revoir!

mamacajah:
On this topic of Management, let me say a few words. I did MSc Purchasing and Supply Chain in the UK (2011), came back home and got a good job after some months. Of all my class set, less than 5 people were able to get jobs in the UK after graduation, even those with distinction and merits. A lot had interviews till the last stage and then were told ..sorry you do not meet the "requirements"...a lot tried to hustle till the end of their visa.. no way.. the ones who were fortunate to get jobs were in other fields. Although this was the period of no post graduate work permit, yet some outstanding students were able to get jobs in their desired field while others had to settle for what the ycould get or started another program immediately. Some even moved to Canada to continue their pursuit of a better life.

Management is generic field, so unless you just finished school in the last 3 -5 years, have a job that requires it for promotion, I definitely wouldn't advice you go spend all that money on it... additionally, things have changed. The current strategy should be look for a course that is in demand in any developed country. Since time immemorial...health field jobs are never out of style.. then IT and Engineering.. even the Business Analyst is a combination of Management and IT. So for those venturing into overseas study, please and please, be strategic. In today's world, there is nothing like I don't know that course o.. I can't do it.. .. a lot of nigerians after immigrating, go and start school again in either nursing, social work or IT... doesn't that tell you something? Unless you absolutely want to become an academic, then you can go do the course you like to PHD level... get a job as a lecturer and fulfill your life dream.

Okay, that's my two kobo on the matter... back to the main discussion... I have trying to read back on the 3rd thread for possible interview questions. Could anyone direct me to a specific page or range? Thanks!

Greetings to you brothers. Please kindly extend your helping hands to me by putting me right. I am a graduate of Philosophy (B.A in Philosophy) and I wish to travel to Austria .
I have two intentions either to go for my Master's Programme in Social worker or I go there and look for job. In other words, either by work permit visa or Student Visa.
As it stands now, I am indecisive of whether to go there as a master student or to hustle first which if I stand , I will register for my Master's Programme there. I am indecisive because I don't know the best way to immigrate and I don't want to enter there illegally. I need you people's candid advice.
I contacted an academician who based in Austria and he has been helping people to come over there either by work permit or student visa . You are the one to make a choice . He said that he will collect #1.6m to do it . The #1.6m includes both my legalization, flight ticket, everything involved . That what I need to do is to go to any bank with his barrister and two of us will open a joint account and put the money there . Once my Visa is handed over to me, two of us will equally go to the bank and I will release the money for him but if the visa denied, I will take my money back. He also promise to help me get work doing.
Please dear brothers, what are your advices to me. I have not told him my choice whether school or to work.
Asiwaju and Juvante, come and help your brother oooo... even if I can get your contact, I will like to speak with you on phone.
Thanks as I await in anticipation.

Okuda:
is your husband doing the programme too? does he have EU residency? if not forget it..applying as an individual is complicated enough for rejection talkless of what you are proposing at the moment...

SegunWamiri:
In my opinion, MSc. Management is a total waste of money especially when you already have up to about 5 years experience in the same. Honestly, I don't think you'd gain anything tangible. The curriculum is usually too broad not zeroing on a specific aspect of management.

My advice however, as you have begun to loose interest in sales, is to find and choose a program with specialization in other aspects of Management - Human resources, accounting, etc.

In addition to this, @skymoore's advice on related part time work, internships and certifications would come handy while studying ANY management related program in the UK.

Cheers

First of all @mimilyrics was correct and I didnt see where she said that she couldn't get dependant visas for her kids; I can see where she said that only her husband and kids apply as dependants. She gave the lady options which she is entitled to take or not take. You are arguing off point
Can her mother in law be granted a visit visa? YES. Let's assume she applied for a 10 year visa and was granted, she spends 6 months and then leaves back to nigeria to travel back to the United Kingdom let's say, 1 month later, by the time she does this twice it would mean she has spent more than one year in the united kingdom than Nigeria which should be her primary country of residence. You said if she explains the situation than they would understand but as far as the UKVI is concerned, the woman would be considered to have lied on her visa application. And for your information,
the mother-in-law looking after the kids in the United Kingdom will be considered work even though she may not be paid in cash but payment in kind is also considered payment by the UKVI.
The UKVI asks for maintenance funds for a reason, they would expect you to pay for child maintance by yourself should you need one in the United Kingdom. You can't say that you have maintenance funds but need your mother-in-law to help with the kids. The funds are there to help wih the kids.
Secondly, by the third visit (after staying 6 months on each trip) mother-in-law's visa would be cancelled in situations like stated above, the United Kingdom is not Nigeria where we run things based on sentiments.

@Skymoore1004 ...Can you just learn to calm down and see things in perspectives. She didn't just come here to get a Yes or No answer, she came to seek counsel and possible ways of getting it done. Politely make your contribution and allow others do theirs as well. The lady will sit over all and make her final decision. You have no right to say someone's suggestion is needed or not.

rs172:
Dear Dupylola, i beg you in the of JESUS Christ, please don't take your kids to any family member, it is better they are with you, than them to pass through unbearable pains from relations..
Please let your kids be the priority because people are wicked irrespective of relation or not..

My condolence..

mimilyrics:
If you read her the post again you'd see where the poster stated that "I am considering applying for his mum so she can help with the kids"- this implies that there wasn't a plan for a nanny or childcare outside of the fact that her husband would watch the kids when she was busy with school or other things. My responses have been based on this.
This would be my last response to you since you're deliberately refusing to understand the lady's situation.

mimilyrics:
No one is arguing with you. You're choosing to see from just an angle. There have been precedents and yes, it raises red flags. The visit visa is not for full 6 months stay. Also, your suggestion on a nanny falls under adequate childcare arrangements which I mentioned in my previous comment based on my assumption of that not being included in the couple's initially planned expenditure.
Don't lead people to believe that they can circumvent the immigration rules without penalties; that some people have done it and gotten away with it doesn't make it seem right.

mimilyrics:
Calm down and take a deep breath. Now go back to read what I typed. Did you miss the part about adequate care arrangements which obviously includes their upkeep of which finance is a factor?
My response was necessitated by the fact that she stated the fact that she needed her mum-in-law around to help with the kids which implies that she may have trouble doing so alone.

mimilyrics:
That's an option that UKVI has never shied from exploring since there's someone (mum-in-law) in Nigeria to care for them while she's in school.
The mum-in-law can't stay for 6 months on each visit because that raises a flag that she is more in the UK than Nigeria, her country of residence and this might be a critical factor as to whether subsequent visa applications are approved or rejected.

mimilyrics:
May God grant you the fortitude to bear this loss and may He comfort you now and beyond.
That's a tough one. You can only bring your kids and husband in on your Tier 4 visa.
With your husband's death, it might be difficult bringing your kids over because you'd have to convince the UKVI that you've got adequate care arrangements for your kids in the UK without them getting in the way of your studies. If you state that you're bringing your mum-in-law to help with the kids, it opens you up to the option of leaving them in Nigeria with your mum-in-law.
You'd be better off finishing your program and securing a full-time job on a Tier 2 sponsorship as that would enable you bring your kids in when you're in a better situation to pay for childcare (this is based on the assumption that your funds didn't factor in extensive childcare costs for when you're in school and/or at work). Your mum-in-law can visit your during school weeks to help with the kids but then, there's a limit to how long she can stay and how frequently she can visit on a visiting visa.

pretty1986:
. My dear,am speechless. I don't even know where or how to start.This is very painful. Am really very sorry for the death of your husband. May his soul Rest in peace Amen.Firstly, It is not possible to apply for dependent visa for his mum. Secondly, if your kids have grown,I will also suggest that u take them to any of your good relation,then as soon as you are done with ur study and secure ur Tier 2 visa by getting a job there in UK u can then bring ur kids over to join you. why I said so is that it may not be easy for you to take care of them over there while studying.pls plan very well.I wish u the very best.

pretty1986:
. Bros trust me,that US denied u visa in 2016 is never a factor In getting ur UK student visa, except there is a serious issue behind ur denial. a lot of people in this thread got their UK student visa, even though they were denied visa by many countries. pls go ahead with ur UK student visa application if u are ready pls.but don't be in a hurry to pay ur deposit, let see exactly what is happening in UK educational sector. I read that UK government have refused to Bail them out,because they are facing serious financial crisis as a result this Coronavirus and sharp decrease on international students.
