Hello, please after getting admission to Teesside. How much tuition deposit is required to be paid. Or there is none?

£4,000

randomShek:
Of course you can.Learn as you go, you’ll discover it’s not as overwhelming as you think it is.

Take it one step at a time and you’ll be fine. Trust the process

Thanks a lot for this...I appreciate.

@Ejiod and other gurus in the house.
Please I need your advise...

I don't have a computer science/statistics/Mathematics background at undergraduate level.

I studied Accounting and Finance(2:1) and also a chartered certified Accountant(ACA, ACCA, ACMA, CGMA).

I have a very strong passion for data science which is driving me crazy, this made me apply for an MSc in Data Science and Analytics.

I just secured an admission(MSc) in Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK (commencing Jan 2022).

But now I'm beginning to develop cold feet as to whether I can do it considering the fact I have I have no prior computer or programming knowledge and I'm getting a tad worried.

What do you advise?
Can I study it at MSc level without prior computer/programming/mathematics knowledge at undergraduate level?? (Though, if there's something I know about myself, its the fact that I'm smart, and can learn).

Please I need your input/insight on this.

PS:
Pardon me if this issue has been addressed before, I just stumbled on this thread tonight, and I've followed through to page8, and didn't come across such.

Oga, this is not about motivation. It's a matter of calculation and an objective feasibility study. Motivation will not make you able to work more than 20 hours per week, or to earn more than the average wages if you're doing part-time work. It will not make your school stop hounding you for your fees, or for the Home Office to penalise you (perhaps by denying you PSW visa) if you attempt to work illegally to earn 15k plus living costs, which isn't even really feasible.

Best to listen to your brother and take time to optimise your plans and save up before heading out.

Okay boss.
Well said..I appreciate.

Its actually a 2 years MSc program.. I didn't mention this earlier..

What are your submissions on this premise.
Awaiting your response.

Thanks once again.

Either you look for a 2 yr course which will make you pay 7500/yr or less which is more doable or go to the US

15K in one year is not going to be easy with studies

I sometimes wonder how lots on people on this thread want to do it without help from home

The course is a 2 years MSC program.
The admission is for spring (January) 2022.

I deferred from September to January 2022.

IAMSYLVIA:
Well, you have to consider your options,
Are you for September or January
If for January, there’s a long study break between May to September, which you would be entitled to work full time and make some better wages.
If it’s a 2year programme, same thing applies.
You just have to confirm your academic calendar.
However, you should have some money saved to cover your deposit and at least first installment with some upkeep money handy..
If you’re very sure of getting the US scholarship, it’s a better option though

Thanks a whole lot for this input.
My admission is for spring(January) 2022 session. I deferred from September to January 2022.
And NO, the US scholarship isn't guaranteed.

Yes, its a 2 years MSc program.

If there's anything I've learnt about success is not to under estimate your strength, courage and hardwork. Determination is the key to success and there's no limit to what you can achieve . I know a person going to UK for a 19k pounds school fees , don't get me wrong this person ain't rich but she has this belief in herself and I know she'll scale through. Now if you afraid of the unknown, it's your weakness , if you believe you'll succeed. My advise believe in yourself or trust in a person.

Thanks a whole lot for this input, very encouraging.... I'd weigh this option up..

You have zero chance, listen to your brother

Hmmm...
Okay, thanks for your input..I appreciate.

Hello Folks,
Please I need all the advice I can get so I don't make a costly mistake.

I recently secured an admission in Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK.(Data Science and Analytics)..

The tuition fee I'm to pay is approximately £15k ( over 4 or 5 instalments).

Now my question is:
What are the prospects of me being able to raise this sum of money from side jobs I'd take up, considering the limited work hours permit for student visas. (£15k looks like a lot of money and I'd overstretch myself to meet up with payment).

My bro has been advising me to ignore the admission and apply to US schools next year and see if I can secure admission on scholarship ( He's currently schooling on scholarship)...

He says trying to meet up with the £15k tuition payment would wear me out and drastically affect my performance at school, which makes no sense in the long run.

Please House, what do you think?? Are there chances of raising such funds within the 1year period

Please I need all the advise I can get.
