Forget what they say! If anyone searches for a Job in the UK for two years without seeing one.. bro that na spiritual problem.

Getting a job is not the problem; getting a job that would qualify for sponsorship and also landing in a company willing to sponsor you, is where the problem lies.

If you're single and studying far from London, yes. I spend less than that. My rent is 350, and I spend around 80 pounds on groceries. I don't do any other major spending outside those two things.
wow cool. Thanks for the heads up.

Better ask for where he lives first and find out if rent in the area you are moving to is also similar.

Hello everyone.

Please I got an offer to study MBA with Data analytics in the university of Bedfordshire, does anyone have any idea of the school and what to expect? It's a two year course

I also got an offer to study International Finance MA in the university of Greenwich, a one year course.

The fees for both is actually the same.

I'm having a hard time deciding which to go.

@akanniade samething salford did to me.. Meanwhile I got stress free admission to Leeds Beckett over GBP 4000 less than salford on same course. About rounding up my first semester now and am grateful I went the beckett route(more friendly to my pocket. lol). My advise to prospective student would be to get as must industry relevant skill set as possible. And look at industry relevant internships while studying as this would provide you with experience (even if your school doesn't do placement). I am yet to get an internship but I believe I would get one soon. We moueeve

Please I will like to get som clarification about Leeds Beckett as I am considering their conditional offer. I intend to study Data Science (Msc) with placement year. Kindly update me on the minimum deposit required for CAS and I will also like to know if the 14k tuition will be paid for each year of study or split into two for the 2years just like the case of Teesside University. Also, how is student life in Leeds especially with respect to part time Jobs for students.


I'm thinking along this lines too.. Will check if they have a January session

Go to Bedfordshire. Your university is located in a place called luton, diverse city. Nigeria and african population plenty so getting information won't be hard.

£1023 * 9mths * #581 is the standard for visa application. Black market is for your personal usage.

Most people are not planning on what happens after the two years post study work expires.

They don't know you will have to switch to another visa inorder to stay back otherwise you will find your way home.

So I really advice that as you are planning for your studies, you should also plan on your options if you want to stay back. Have a backup plan in place.

My candid advice.

I know very well that with the 2 years psw, you can take up any employment, but make sure you take up employment with a company that can sponsor you after the 2 years psw expires.

This is my concern, you spoke my mind

But can we start discussing about back up plans.

kindly drop any to help.

One of the best backup plan is to transition to the Global Talent route where you will be given a 3 or 5 year visa depending on whether you are an expert or promising expert respectively.

With the visa, you can work for any employer, self employed or do both without needing any sponsorship.

All you need is a sponsorship from one of the government approved bodies.

So from this, all you need is to know what is required for the endorsements and start preparing it. If it means learning an additional skill, you do so while you are still studying for your degree.

My candid advice.

The good part is that after the 3 years or 5 years, you can either extend it for another 3 or 5 years or you apply for ILR (permanent residency).

If you live for one year as a permanent residency, you are eligible to apply for citizenship.

Got an unconditional offer at University of Glasgow, September intake 2021. I didn't realize the fee was so high at first so I applied for the scholarship but wasn't shortlisted.

What's the best advice anyone can give?

I've applying to other schools with more affordable fees but yet to get response from any and I don't know how long this will take.

That is great, another plan B is to keep applying for PhD to other EU countries that offers free Tuition, another plan is porting to North America before the 2yrs finish
