Hey guys. I’m very new to this space and was hoping to get some insights from the community. I’m looking to apply for a masters program in the uk. Something in management (PM, DM,HRM) I have a bachelors degree from South Africa and also with extensive work experience.

Is there anyone that could advise on a cost effective institution for these types of programs? Also what are we looking at in terms of average budget to make this a successful application?

Thanks for your support.

On the search bar you can type “ list of schools in the UK with tuition fees” you will see where I posted schools with heir respective tuition fees.

PS: You can still apply to meet up to Coventry University to meet up with this September 2024 intake.

Please has anyone Amended this TLC appointments booking.. I mistaking chose support services instead of self-service. I have already paid but I don't mind amending because I want to upload my supporting documents myself. I don't want to carry them while travelling..
Any idea? Will they request me to pay again or can they refund the fee I paid for them to upload my documents... Because I have all my documents on my system and have no need for their service.

Good day guys, please is there anyone here going to Salford or Northampton?

Visa Alert!!!
Application - 30th July
Biometrics - 31st July
Transferred to DMC - 31st July
Transferred to VAC – 2nd August
Email for collection – 2nd August (Didn’t go and pick up because of protest)
BRP Mail – 4th August but letter was dated 1st August
Ikeja Standard

*A number of factors could be responsible, but don’t know if my application was this fast because of generally low applications or low applications due to impending protest the next day (cos it was literally empty the day I went for bio, although on pickup day there was a little crowd but not so much in my opinion).

Documents Submitted
CAS
Employment letters
Certificate from School
TB certificate
NYSC
WAEC
Printed bank statement from bank (signed and stamped)
Letter explaining what I had been doing since graduation.
Reference letters from a employer whom I didn’t have an employment letter for and a current client as I am a freelancer currently.

Even though I had an agent who guided me, this forum was very helpful to me, so I felt the need to open an account on Nairaland just to thank everyone who has contributed and helped newbies like me through the process. Wish everyone else applying speedy success like I experienced!

I'm also a freelancer and wondering how I'll prove I've been working since I graduated.

Coventry University that is damn expensive, I bet the fees should have hit the £20,000 mark

Mb1993:

No I didn't prints from the day I deposited the 60m, I started from the second day.
So I don't know the reason why they are requesting it again? Please what can I do about it?

Omo, I don’t know, I haven’t seen something like this before.

Please someone should help me out, this what the I recieved this morning about my application?

Honestly they want you to explain how the money came about. They suspect you dump the 60 million in block. If you sold anything to make the money send it or you got a loan. They hardly ask for source of fund but your case different

Hi guys I already got my visa on the 9th but I'm willl be staying with my brother though I didn't mention that I have a relative in the uk I intend saying I will be staying in an hotel in the port of entry before moving to my accommodation I hope this won't be a problem

Ndukweagwu23:
Good day guys, please is there anyone here going to Salford or Northampton?

Hey please what program is you doing at Salford. also what’s the initial deposit they require ?

Is there anyone going to University of Gloucestershire this September? Who is in Gloucester? Are jobs available there?

Partynextday:


Hey please what program is you doing at Salford. also what’s the initial deposit they require ?

Initial deposit is £5500.

I'm also a freelancer and wondering how I'll prove I've been working since I graduated.

On which platform are you freelancing?

You can use evidence of your earnings or work as a proof of what you’ve been doing, if you’ve graduated more than five years ago.

All the best!

I have similar concern. Do you think they will ask for proof of the hotel reservation?

Hi here. Anyone going to Chester/ Liverpool around mid September? Please let's connect and show each other around while discovering new places.

Hi guys I'm really worried on what to say on the port of entry about my accommodation it's giving me serious concern I haven't sorted my accommodation yet my brother is staying there but I stated in my Visa application that I have no siblings in the UK so I don't really know what to say to avoid any suspicion I need answers please 🙏🙏🙏

Guys I came up with this I don't know how it looks please I need answers on this 👇👇👇
I booked a two days stay in Premiere Inn hotel, and once I leave this place, I will be heading to the hotel ,and drop my Luggage then after that I will be heading to the apartment I want to pay for which is in New Adgate to look at it,if it's as advertised I will make payment.

This is also what I came up with 👇👇👇
I will be staying in an accommodation at new adgate, it's located at commercial road London, with the post code E11df. I have seen the accommodation and it's very nice but sometimes I have had a history of booking a place online and then at the end it's not worth it, and then the policy for the flat is non refundable so I will like to go there, that's where I'm heading straight from here I will go there then check and pay for it if I like it but if I don't like it I already have a plan B of checking into priemere Inn or travel lounge hotel which is very close to my school.

Just book premier inn for 2 days as you said and let them know you have a booking for accommodation which you will go and check and make payment because you don't wanna pay without viewing it showing them evidence for viewing and you will be fine
