Sunderland, South of England I guess...

Sunderland is in North East actually.

Ayotide2022:
Ok pls which location is it at

Can't you simply google it? Some of una too dey ask question like who no go school. It's really annoying seeing some questions here.

Please I need clarification on this, does it apply to children or just spouse. Asking because I intend going with my wife alone and bring the kids towards the end of my studies

Bros I don't think this plan of yours will work o. Your dependants can't join you if your program is coming to an end.

ARU is quite fast with their offer. I applied on April 10. Conditional offer dropped on April 14. I was told in the offer to go ahead and forward the required documents, make payment(£4,000 deposit) and request for CAS (which is their unconditional offer).

Because of the delays in FORM A and £1,000 discount given for early complete payment, I wish to pay all my tuition fees in one go now.

Gurus in the house, is there any risk in doing so?

Yea, ARU is super fast and responsive if you communicate with them. I was going to recommend it to anyone who is still trying to apply for admission before I saw your message.

I'm not part of the gurus here but I think paying tuition in full shouldn't be considered risky. If you have it, then pay it all to take advantage of the discount.

Good afternoon wonderful people,

is it too early to apply for january 2023 intake? if yes, when is it better to start applying for jan 2023

I believe it is not to early because the schools I applied to, there were options to pick September 2022 or January 2023 as the start date for the program.

So go ahead and apply.

Okay! I have replied to your pm. Since schools are on strike, the letter must not necessarily come from exam and records( since they are on strike) . You can get the letter from your HOD, a senior lecturer/ junior lecturer or Dean from your department as long as the letter has stamp and letterhead

When I chatted a professor in my department through WhatsApp ( though I’m closed to him and he knows me well), he advised me not to use his own letter since a letter from HOD has more weight reason, being Head of Department but I told him it doesn’t mean that I’ll make use of his own letter since I can easily get his own letter immediately all what the school want is just an evidence that I was taught in English language. I got mine few hrs after I spoke with him


Summary of all I have said is, anyone can get his or her letter from any lecturer in your school( department) that you know well instead of traveling down to school.
Below is the screenshot of the condition requested from me

Sup bro, have you made your Sunderland deposit yet?

It would be nice for us to have a group so that we can help and guide each other on the steps to take after having the University of Sunderland conditional offer.

I am have a problem filling out Coventry Uni application form. i cant seem to find a matching Nigerian qualification with the qualification on their drop down please help!!!!

Bbbw:
Thanks bro is this sunderland uni or which one and are the courses written conversion courses. What is the tuition and deposit allowed I want to change from finance to IT and looking for a lower tuition

Many schools have the conversion course, from all the schools I saw, Sunderland was the cheapest sha. Their deposit is £3,500 and tuition is about £13,500. And yea, from all the schools I checked, after u see the program name you will see conversion in bracket eg MSc Computer Science (Conversion) or MSc ICT (Conversion).

They will definitely accept you even if na French you study for BSc, just tell them reason why you want a field/career change in ur SOP.

Bbbw:
Is this masters or another bsc in sunderland How did you apply for the conversation course and any possibility of bsc finance getting masters in IT courses

It is a normal MSc program o, and you apply the same way you apply for every MSc degree. Just that the conversion programs are specifically tailored for people from non IT background who want to go into IT or computing.

claseek:
yes its a conversion course i applied for

Then have no fear, you will get admitted especially if you wrote a good SOP stating why you want to go into IT.
