Please what if he is going with a Dependant, is there anything that should be looked out for or is it not allowed to go with a Dependant

Purplenerd:


Its true maybe I should just focus on business or a management course since I am into business. Wanted to go back media because that was the last place I worked.

So I will just focus applying to University of East Anglia or University Exeter for business/management course. Although would like to stay back after studies either continue with my businesses or get a job in UK.

BouharryArtikou:


Getting a UK Management Masters is not in itself enough to give you tier-2 job after your program.
What is important is what skill sets you will be able to bring to the table of an employer.
Note that the skill set has got to be so unique so as to justify why it has to be you rather than a UK citizen, or an EU citizen.

Note also that unless some kind of clean hard BreXit happens, the priority for jobs in order are:
1. Highly Experienced UK or EU Citizen
2. Experienced UK or EU citizen
3. UK or EU citizen with some experience
4. UK or EU citizen without experience ( but who demonstrates that they are trainable)
5. Extremely Highly Experienced person from ‘Rest of the World’

In that order.


So....
You have to be on top of your game.


PS: you mentioned that you are a businessman. There is actually a UK visa category for Entepreneurs and Investors. You may wish to explore that. Google it and get details.

Sanmigbola:
Can someone please advice on the prospect of getting a job after finishing an MBA with placement(2 years) though this will be my second masters, my first masters was in production and operations management in Nigeria or maybe I should add some IT skills before the end of my MBA program.

Please I need advice to be sure am on the right track.

Check the list of occupations/skills in demand before you embark upon your chosen course.
We do not yet know how the Tier 2 visa scheme will operate a) After Brexit, if it eventually happens; and b) following the introduction of the post-study visa scheme; but as it currently stands, getting a CoS for a Tier 2 is not an easy endeavour at all. It's not impossible to get, but you should be aware that you must target your future specialisation carefully. Someone listed up there the order in which candidates are classified as a guide.

If I were you I wouldn't waste my money on a generalist MBA and would try something with a focus on corporate finance or along those lines. Ultimately, employers abroad usually prefer skills/experience to paper, so you should bear that in mind as wel
You need to do a whole lot of research; Nairaland can only take you so far. This will give you a better feel overall about the possibilities available in the UK these days for students and recent graduates.

Sanmigbola:
Cyberknight, This Masters is the second masters program I want to undergo. The first one was in Operations management. While this one is a generalist MBA and it's with placement(experience). I'm thinking of learning an IT skill alongside with my mba program.

Is a master's in finance in high demand than other areas of management?

Cyberknight:


If I was in your field of activity, yes, I would specialize in finance and be looking at investment banking, management, that sort of stuff. The generalist MBA has lost a lot of its shine since the late 90s.

Most Tier 2 visas are granted for the following fields: entertainment, IT and health, followed by finance/investment and insurance, in that order.

Again, I am speaking based on my general knowledge of what Tier 2 is like now - it may evolve into a wholly different beast in the years to come.

Sanmigbola:
Thank you so much.

what about being a Business Analyst that is getting certified? How's the Labour market for business analyst?

Can you suggest any school for me to specialize in finance?

Unfanthomable:
Urgent help please

I made a big mistake in the application.. I wrote a wrong passport number, the old one. Do I cancel the initial and apply again?
If I do, how long does it take to get a refund? IHS and application fee?

Please help oo

LaaJiblik:


Dear Nairalanders,
Please disregard this suggestion.
It’s improper to lie about previous visa denials.


By the way, the REASON for denials is always asked. And for universities like Anglia Ruskin, they ask for the denial letter. So unless the reason for denial was fraud or ‘yahoo-yahoo’ you have nothing to hide.

Experts please..
My MAINTENANCE fee is ready but,
My tuition fee would be ready for Payment in 2 weeks time.
Can I put the MAINTENANCE fee in my account to start counting. And pay my tuition fees before 28days ends?

Don't want to waste time. Or does it matters that I must have gotten my CAS/UNCONDITIONAL Offer before the count of 28days starts.?

Thanks

The main confusion am to be cleared is:
Must the start date (that is day 1) of the 28day should not be earlier than the day on Unconditional/CAS?

Thanks in anticipation.
