Summer runs from June. Month of May falls under spring

No! it depends on your school! Some schools summer starts from May. Some schools wouldn’t even be in session starting from June in Uk. For instance our summer break in Teesside University will commence from ending of MAY.

NomzyJust:
So that means people that started January 2020, one year Msc won't qualify.

As far you graduated from May 2021 onwards you are qualified! It says anyone that graduated during the summer or after the summer of 2021 is qualify!

I can’t believe you call Darlington cool but discredited Bournemouth. There’s no difference between someone in a small village in Ogun & someone in Darlington. That place is very very dead. Nothing happening there. Middlesbrough is boring. People go to Newcastle to have fun. Only care work and menial works are available from agencies like Primary care & Akari care. Yes facilities are new but not the best place. However if you’re looking for a very cheap place & tuition, then it fits you. Before you remind me of how I’ve not gone there before, I do my research, I know people there, I check indeed.co.uk , I watch you tube & I am always asking questions.

mr know all! He only asked me how is Darlington campus. And I replied him to the best of my Knowledge. I am in Middlesbrough myself and I am giving him a first class information he isn’t paying me anything or gaining anything if he comes or didn’t come too Teesside University. So what is your headache about? I aren’t paid anything in giving out information to aspirants or either I expect to be paid.


I have severally said it here, if you care to visit my previous posts! There are students Job readily available to do in Middlesbrough but less professional jobs. It a good city for a newbie in Uk because it is considerably cheap compared to other cities in Uk. Middlesbrough is the second cheapest city to leave in the United Kingdom. I have given out a formula my mentor told me before coming to Uk which worked for him and others that follow that path! Formula goes like this

Plan to study in Uk

Look for a good University

Preferably let the location be in a cheap environment

Save more save more when your work

Start sending out your CVs

If employed move out of the city

@TobexinThank for the opportunity to ask questions regarding Teesside university.

Hello House,

I got a conditional offer from Teesside University. I also got a mail from them asking me to apply for VC scholarship which is £5000.
Is the general scholarship for Nigerians different from this and automatically awarded to all applicants. I don't understand. I will appreciate any idea.

Thanks

it a general scholarship for all international applicants. For one to get the scholarship one must write up a literary piece of work. Winner would be picked randomly and awarded the scholarship.

Which area is better to study
Teeside, Bournemouth,or south Wales
Which of the fields would boom Programme Project Management or Project management or psychology

1.Tesside is a mid size town located in the north eastern part of England. Taking the coach to London from Middlesbrough is like 6hrs. Housing and cost of living is extremely cheap in Middlesbrough compared to other parts of UK and it is the Second cheapest city to leave in UK. The University is also a good one coupled with the moderate school fee and very nice payment plan.


2. Bournemouth is very close to London about 1:30 minutes there. Cost of living is extremely high compared to Middlesbrough. The University fee is also expensive but the University has an higher rating than Teesside University.


3. I don’t know much about southwales University because I have not been there before.


On your course of study

Project management is a very lucrative course because human beings must surely embark on projects and will surely need an expert to manage such projects. The course is an open course which I really admire it for being so. I think a Nairalander here Mikeer is a project manager in UK.


MSc Psychology is a conversion course for those that didn’t do Psychology In their undergraduate. After doing such you can enroll into another MSC specialization In Psychology or advance into the doctoral degree In Psychology which will give you the opportunity to practice as a psychologist. Nevertheless with the conversion course you can only practice as an assistant psychologist. Psychology is also one of the courses in the skill shortage list.

SyberKate:
Guys please, please I'm in a dilemma.

So far I got the following offers but can't decide on which to accept.

1. University of East Anglia, good ranking(top 20ish), gave £4000 fee reduction, but I don't like their course modules. Course not accredited

2. University of Greenwich, decent ranking(top 60ish), no fee reduction yet, love the course modules + course is accredited by a professional body

3. University of Hertfordshire, decent ranking(top 70ish), no fee reduction yet, love the course modules + offer placement. Course not accredited.

Please who has good ideas of these universities should help me decide. Thanks

going for a course not accredited is like pouring water inside an empty basket. There is so so much time for you to still apply for different schools in Uk. Simply do a google search Universities in Uk click on the Wikipedia result and navigate through the various schools alphabetically, their website will also be listed there too. Please don’t be eager to come to England to study an unaccredited course. Nobody knows tomorrow.

Skymoore1004:
I joined and read through messages to know that you’re a troublemaker. Carry your wahala dey go please

lol mention two monikers I have had troubles with here on nairaland? Just two person except for mikeer . You want me to notice you. You have gotten my attention now bravo!

Skymoore1004:
Just ignore that fellow. He’s a pure time waster and always looking for who to fight with. That’s why he’s always getting suspended. Not everyone is wise so at times you just ignore.


Stay safe

lol bro this account was open on 4th of April 2020. I wouldn’t talk much


Shallom

Pineberries:
Good evening. I just want to know about cost of living and life in that part of England generally as an international student. Thank you.

it is located in the north western part of England. Cost of living is moderately ok. You can get a shared apartment for like £300 a month inclusive of bills. The town is not that developed but it definitely lovely and serene.

Pineberries:
Good evening everyone. I hope you're all staying safe. Please I haven't read about anyone talk about Lancaster University here. I got an offer from the school.

what do you need to know about the school?

LaaJiblik:
Any experience that lumps a whole continent, and classify them as not brilliant is no experience (especially if your sample size is so microscopic.
Just learn. Learn. Read about it. Readers are Leaders

Lol being intelligent doesn’t make you brilliant! Read bro! Read bro! Readers are leaders!

LaaJiblik:
I wish I knew your level of education/qualification. It will help me answer your question.
I don’t want to waste time talking about sample size and statistical significance to someone who may not understand.

But I want you to imagine meeting a 32 year old Lithuanian who arrived a little town in Oyo state in January, 2020. This same Lithuanian (after 4 months) postulates that all Nigerians nay, AFRICANS are dumb savages. Based on his experience.
Will you agree with his conclusion?

i have been ignoring your mentions! But till you know the discrepancies between being brilliant and Intelligent that’s when I will have the time to argue with you. I am entitled to my opinion and that’s my personal experience. Two person experience can’t be the same even identical twins. Kindly share your experience let others learn from you. Even if mi experience is flaw as jolly just come then share yours as the landlord of London.

LaaJiblik:
1. That is false, absolute false. Maybe the brilliant ones regarded tryout school as 3rd rate, hence you haven’t met them.


5. Your school is probably a 3rd or 4th rated school, that’s why you haven’t seen/met a lot of Professors. Someone attending Federal University, Dutsinma in Katsina is likely going to encounter fewer professors compared with someone attending University of Ife ( I learnt they have changed the name of Great Ife - I don’t know what the new name is).

I am sure you didn’t study in Uk and parse if you studied you only met few professors in the course of your study. A professor in Nigeria is Usually not a professor in Uk!

rs172:
1. Europeans are not brilliant but intelligent

6. Asians are brilliant and intelligent


Lol, what of we Africans, especially Nigerians

I am an African so I can not say for myself because saying positive of my continent In this sense will bring prejudice in.

[quote author=justwise post=88519846][/quote]as far you have the certificate it is genuine and subsisting!

Just feel like sharing my experience in Studying so far with you all!

Yea my school officially resumed on 13th January and lectures were fixed to commence the following week. In my first day in lecture I was totally confused because the pattern of teaching I was used too From Nigeria wasn’t the pattern used here I believe you all know the pattern na! Where your lecturer will dictate notes for you and explain every bit for you if you have a good lecturer but amazingly here in Uk it is absolutely different! Lecturers doesn’t give notes! I was actually expecting the lecturer to give notes. The lecturers only come to class to give you an overview of what he or she uploaded in his or her lecture slides which could be found on your student portal. You are expected to read widely on your own, you are assigned a personal tutor for guidance and so forth. Things were really challenging for me owing to the fact I wasn’t used to this kind of digital teaching. Secondly Understanding the British accent is another challenging thing for me but gradually I started getting use to their way of speaking. So far so good these are the things I have noticed in Uk

1. Europeans are not brilliant but intelligent

2. Their way of teaching is absolutely different from Nigerian pattern of teaching

3. The Europeans make learning fun! We have like three-floor building in my school library. The first floor you are allowed to shout or do anything you wanna do while reading whilst the second floor is a quite zone! So you have the choice to choose where u wanna read: noisy zone or quite zone. In our library we also have beds to sleep lol! If you are tired you can jump on the bed and sleep! We also have pubs!

4. Respect is not seen in terms of sir or mar but in terms of politeness. I call my lecturers by their names

5. Professors are scarce! You will hardly meet a professor in Uk while doing your MSc unlike Nigeria

6. Asians are brilliant and intelligent

7. You don’t need to buy books while studying in Uk

8. You will get the marks you deserve! No bad belle lecturers.

justwise:
You don't need any of those really.

1.Did you do white wedding and traditional one?

2.Any picture taken before wedding?

3. Chat history?(Whatsapp, facebook messenger, sms)

even all those ones aren’t needed like that since it is not spousal visa!

The main thing is the wedding certificate, any other thing is Secondary!

Mindlog:
Is your first degree in psychology, if you don't mind me asking.

Bsc philosophy

Anitaamich:
Please is anybody studying/living at Hertfordshire?? I need to get an information about the area.. please don’t read and pass

what do u need to know! The area is close to London! And things are moderately cheap and lot of Africans there. Anything else?

Mindlog:
Which specialty in Psychology?

Psychology Not else classified

uche06:
Please between psychology or IT project Management which is better
Also can I bring my fiancee or would be wife along to UK

i am currently studying psychology in Teesside University. It a one year program and psychology is among the shortage skills. I will urge you to go for Psychology because it is a course that’s diverse and doesn’t limit you to any field.

Mans don’t care. . Mans cashing out

lol secure the bag

Franklyn4:
what will break will definitely break and black is black...lol, no need for regrets, the business helped you too!!!

i started my company when i was in yr1 and was runing my business consistently and made 2:1 with a determination of not wanting to make firstclass....

lol if they ask people that went to University to raise up their hands you too will join them to raise hands up? Lol Abeg No be National open University you go

Skymoore1004:
Not only for PSW, working more than 20 hours even affects your studies. Most students come out with 2:2 or merit or pass because they’re working more hours to pay tuition and bills. I regret doing business during my uni days because to say I read more, I would have come out with better grades. Earning money is good but certificate first

The fact still remain having merit for post graduate studies isn’t bad at all! If it was to be undergraduate studies you need aim far above

Just thinking aloud! The negativity on this thread is absolutely lousy and it would make you believe that as a Student in UK you can not make it but that’s actually not the truth as it being portrayed out here. I noticed those false alarms are proportionally being bLoaned by those that haven’t flown out of Nigeria before. My advise to all prospective candidates is this don’t mind what people are saying about UK here. Make up your mind to achieve the best and surely you will achieve the best. I have been in UK for less than 5 months and UK has been predominantly good to me in all entity. Atleast I don’t struggle to pay my bills and feed myself as a week work can settle all my expenses for one month. I even have a car in UK as an international student despite people portraying having a car as a big deal in UK. Go for the best and the sky will be your limit.

How can a couple that got married few months to their tier 4 visa application prove genuine & subsisting. No shared utility bills, council tax bills or joint bank statements as we are not really used to these stuffs in Naija.

cc Justwise

marriage certificate is the sole proof needed.

I said it! This country is a Joke. How can students be receiving lectures through NTA? Does that sound right?
