Good afternoon my people , Thank you for all you do in this forum. Please I need your advice, counsel and suggestions on the current predicament of my wife in her study. She has a Degree in Chemical engineering and came in to study analytical chemistry after looking at the course module but unfortunately what was on the course module was completely opposite of what was in the course content in reality and this posed a lot of challenges for her on the course. To cut the long story short, she has to repeat a module but the university is giving her an option to graduate with a post graduate diploma/ post graduate certificate instead of rewriting the course. I have evaluated the whole situation and weigh the options and I think the best thing for her is to enroll for another master because the school is not ready to give her visa extension because our current visa expires January and the rewrite date for the course is also January and the results will not be ready in time for us to apply for the post graduate work Visa. This means the aim of coming in for the Msc initially is technically defeated. My question is that will her visa be granted if she apply for another masters from inside the UK using the postgraduate certificate/diploma. I look forward to your valuable contribution/ opinion/ suggestions on this matter. |

adedapodvirus001:With the way these universities treat international students, I’ve come to realise that these UK universities only care about one thing and that’s Money. During the Masters sef, you practically teach yourself. If her brain is still capable, she should take up another masters if not, I would advise you do the Masters instead so she can look for a job in her field as your dependant and hopefully (not promised though) get Tier 2 sponsorship. Masters isn’t required here to get a great job anyway, experience and certifications are what matters the most. Really sorry this is happening to your family but you have to make a decision fast as the clock is ticking. 6 Likes 1 Share |

adedapodvirus001: 100% understand but you need to make a decision ASAP. The records show she came for a masters but was given a pgde due to her inability to pass a course. I do not know if this will be considered during visa application but I believe you have a higher chance of securing a visa. |

Amarathripple0:even the experience and certification there is no guarantee of a job. Lol. Sometimes it might be whether recruiter likes you as a person even country of origin which are hidden cues. Sorry for jumping on your response. |

Amarathripple0: Not good advice. Nigerian experience is not always a negative. I had extensive experience back home, and I'm in a generic occupation, and I obviously got my jobs on the strength of my experience. It is experience, so there is nothing wrong with putting it on your CV. Racism, hearts and minds, those you can't change. Your African name alone is a pointer, irrespective of whether or not you strip out what could be possibly relevant experience from your resume. Bottom line - there is no certified way to bypass the subjectiveness of the recruitment process. 6 Likes |

adedapodvirus001: You see for you to be in this UK and thrive, you have to grow thick skin. You don't have to cower. Your wife is eligible for the student visa extension to enable her write her exam and get her result. Don't assume things, let her write to her department and faculty that she'd be retaking the module and would be needing a visa extension. Hear what they'd say first and take it up from there. I mean you paid huge amount of money for tuition, don't allow them take you for a ride even though you failed a course, that's the purpose of learning anyways. As an aside, you(not your wife) can start applying for a course as a plan B. Let this option not be your main focus though. 14 Likes |
