Whatamidoinghere: That would depend on the immigration and visa rules applicable when he is done with his studies. I hope you know that Uk is not the only place he can work or live permanently. If he does 4years UG and 1yr PG IF he then gets a job with an employer under the CURRENT Tier2 visa rules then he can work in the UK. But its his employer that determines the length of the work permit. If he gets up to 5Yrs then based on the CURRENT rules he can then apply for ILR which is indefinite leave to remain. Notice my emphasis on current visa/immigration rules. Visa rules in the UK change regularly so there is no point spending 5 years in the UK without keep g your options open to other places. The whole I have family there does not hold water because you are all adults so no right to family life that appears here. Besides school fees in the UK is one thing but the real expenses are living expenses. That's where you will spend since you can not continuously scrounge on others. |

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your effort and answers... Justwise What about, if he's still studying and he decided to extend his visa in order to get a job after school, is it possible or must he travelled back before he can then apply for working visa permit?? Don't be upset with my questions. |

Whatamidoinghere: This question and the last one i answered are the same and my answer remains the same. |

salsera: I think you are referring to Tier 2 and not Tier 1 visa? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 12:56pm On Jul 04, 2016 |
salsera: I wouldn't regard myself as British citizen for now though that will be the case by the end of this month. 4 Likes |

claremont: What I don't understand is, why don't they take the opportunity and finish their studies, get a good job and..well, you know the rest They even have access to loans and benefits |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 4:10pm On Jul 04, 2016 |
spikesC: Yes that combination works before last August when the rule changed. That combination does not work anymore because there is a limit on number of years you can spend in the UK on student visa. Many schools have that information on that website and ukba just included on tier 4 page as well. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 4:12pm On Jul 04, 2016 |
spikesC: No chance getting benefits as a student, just loan for undergraduates |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Whatamidoinghere(m): 1:06am On Jul 05, 2016 |
justwise:The loan will be refunded back when? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 6:31am On Jul 05, 2016 |
Whatamidoinghere: Yes when you get a job and earn certain amount a year. This loan is not for foreign students though...only home students |

Please what does it take to do master degree in Manchester univerity, engineering |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by fizzile(m): 10:21am On Jul 06, 2016 |
Chiscomax:Its very easy bro. Just go to the school site, check the programme u want to run, check the requirement, the tuition fee and necessary things expected, then you kick start from there. First of all whats your budget? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Chiscomax(m): 10:25am On Jul 06, 2016 |
fizzile: 7m |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by fizzile(m): 10:46am On Jul 06, 2016 |
Chiscomax:First of all just check the school site, then check the tuition then we can start up from there. Will be willing to help in any way i can. There are more gurus here too but just get the info first. |

@olowob I have a lot of gold jewelleries which I use and will be selling some of them before I leave in the coming months by God's grace. I already got some good deal from mallams because dollars is higher than it was when I bought them then,but I was told that it is costlier in the UK and that I should go along with them and sell them there and that it will also bridge the gap of currency conversion being that it is sold in pounds. Plz what is your honest opinion on this. Cc . claremont, justwise et al |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by spacyzuma(m): 2:42pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
Dynamitehimself: tbh, I'm not sure about the £/$ price it may fetch here, but I think it's a good idea. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Dynamitehimself(m): 3:20pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
spacyzuma: @spacyzuma Thanks man. Any idea on possible sellout price will be appreciated if you dont mind.tanks |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 4:25pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
Chiscomax: That amount won't work for University of Manchester. It won't cover the tuition fee not to talk of living cost. You might look at other schools in Manchester like Manchester Metropolitan Uni or Salford Uni |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by OlowoB(m): 11:21pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
Dynamitehimself: I do know you can sell them in UK in all these pawn shops. How you will get them to the UK, i do not know. How much will they pay you depending on the carat or weight compared to how much those mallams will pay in lagos, i do not know. But come to think of it, if you can get them to the UK and get good price for them with this current high value of pounds, after selling, you can send the money back to naija and get huge money in naira (i am assuming you won't be using the money for school fees or feeding fees). I am just thinking out loud. Definitely selling in the UK will give you more money (when you convert the pounds to naira with the current exchange rate) than selling in naija. Modified: I just saw on the other thread that the gold is just going to be a small box of personal effects, so that should be no big deal in transporting to the UK but please those people that asked you to sell it in UK, are they also professionals in the business? if they are then you should go with their advice. 1 Like |

OlowoB: @olowob Thanks for the contribution.i gave u some answers in brackets for a clearer view of my point, just thought I could get a contrary price hint on the amount compared to what I might have in mind just to be on a safer side.I don't want to be too excited to ignore any possible disadvantage . Thanks all the same. |

Hey guys, Greetings I got offers from Lancaster, Glasgow, Portsmouth, Exeter and Loughborough. Eventually picked Exeter cos I got a tiny 3k scholarship and the reputation. I hope I made the right call. Anyone going to the University of Exeter here? 1 Like |

Dynamitehimself: Do you have their receipts? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Dynamitehimself(m): 9:07pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
justwise: Yeah I have the receipt. Just that the total quantity in the receipt has reduced compared to what I have at hand because I sold some out some time ago.But the original receipt is still intact. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 9:23pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
Dynamitehimself: You may be able to sell it if they can verify the origin because jewellery theft is very rampant here so shops are very careful to avoid buying stolen item. I think they have sort of database where they can verify any original jewellery and ascertain immediately if it has been reported stolen |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Dynamitehimself(m): 11:08pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
justwise: @justwise Oh thanks for the response i am most grateful. I just hope the receipt will serve the verification purpose. Plz do you have any hints per gram price of maybe 18 karat.Or anyway you could confirm I would appreciate. Thanks in anticipation. |
