Can imagine...I really wanted to go there. I saw like applicants from 5 years compliaining on Studentsroom website that GCU don't respond on time. Till date applicants are still complaining of the same issue.

I sent them a mail like 3 weeks ago they responded to my mail that my application is still with the department.

I have already lost interest decided to accept DMU offer I can't come and kill myself lols.

Oh I even thought maybe Nigerian network, I have been trying to go through the course outline since they said from next week I will be considered for interview but the website doesn't seems to be opening.

Good day,

I got admission into the university of Essex to study Finance and Big data analytics. I want to know how sell able the course is in the UK because I plan to stay back after my studies.
Also, my total fees was 18,000 but I got 4,000 off. However, I may have the difficulty in paying the balance. Please I will like to know if there is a way I can pay when I travel.

Thank you.

STENON:
Based on what you just said now... A quick look at Dundee MSc nursing has no pre-registration with NMC as been offered by GCU.
Better to go with the right advice that has long term advantage , than because of money, go for the wrong path with no long or short term benefit.

Another scenario apart from this IELTS is for any school requesting for UKNARIC. Please do not run away from them, kindly do it as this is an opportunity to further register with some Professional Bodies in UK.
Without UKNARIC, you can not be registered to practice as a Professional in UK.


**note : I am not referring to Professional bodies like APM, PMI, or others.

mimilyrics:
Finance and big data analytics is good but getting a job upon the completion of your course is dependent on you (job search, knowledge demonstration, experience e.t.c).
What do you mean by difficulty paying the balance? Issues with bank transfer, delay in sorting funds, insufficient funds? Any other reason apart from this?

zaynabola:
Insufficient funds to be specific.
I can manage to pay 30%

Good afternoon Stenon,

Please what is ur advice to someone going for PGCE with the hope of getting QTS in Mathematics considering the fact that teaching mathematics is in UK shortage occupation list. Is it a good investment for easy stay after graduation compared to going for MSC instead of PGCE.

STENON:

Please i am changing my school due to circumstances beyond my control. I have checked quite a number of other schools, though I have a conditional offer from RGU and Coventry which was my first choice. I want a school in England. University of Huddersfield appeals to me, though I'm not really comfortable with their modules but I can make do with it.

I have read quite a number of different views online about the school but I would love to hear you guys thoughts, possiblity of getting student jobs, the city life, and just any other useful information anyone has. If you have other suggestions on schools too, I wouldn't mind.

Thanks for all your contributions in advance.

Hello.
I'm planning to study as an undergraduate in the UK (under a scholarship). Presently i do not have the requirements to apply so i plan to use the remaining of this year to get prepared then next year I would apply. I will also seek admission in a Nigerian university (UNN to be precise) just incase i dont get the scholarship. The thing is; will it be easy, if possible, to transfer if i get the supposed UK admission?
Thank you

hosey:

To be candid, forget about obtaining undergraduate scholarship in UK as it is very competitive. Also A Levels is being considered for admission ? Do you have Cambridge or ATS A Levels? Your O level and A level should be mostly A's.
*I only have WEAC; 2 As, 5 Bs, 1 C and D. I can write another exam if required and if the funds are available*

If you want undergraduate scholarship, focus on USA schools and apply here:
https://ng.usembassy.gov/education-culture/exchange-programs/opportunity-fund/

You can also try Federal Scholarship board undergraduate scholarship or Chiese undergraduate scholarship.

Most importantly, just focus on getting Nigerian university admission. Try and score high in your JAMB as I hope your O level is top notch. Aim for first class. Then you can get postgraduate scholarship. Also with your first class CGPA in school, you can apply for many undergraduate scholarships like PTDF, Oando, Mobil, Shell, MTN, Total, Seplat, Chevron, Agbami, Agip and many more.
*My JAMB this year is good and getting an admission in Nigeria wouldn't be a problem. I just thought that studying aboard will create more opportunities for me. I opted for the UK because it is more easier for Nigerians to get admission there, just got informed about their scholarship though. Thanks*

I got two undergraduate scholarships and it was more than enough for my studies. * were they for Nigeria or abroad? And please how likely am I to get a scholarship in the US.*

Hi ELff, not sure of this, do you need an insight on all 3schools or just Huddersfield? I can help give an insight on Coventry, I'm sure there are many more Cov students here to help as well...

I need insights on Huddersfield and possibly Northumbria University, the city life, possibility of getting student jobs, just about any relevant information.

Good morning all

I have a question

Is it a red flag for a 38 year old to apply for a study visa via a masters program?

LagosismyHome:


There is no age limit for master education.....why will 38 be a red flag?

Cyberknight:


Why should it be?
The UK needs the fees international students pay to balance its universities' budgets, so you are all welcome. The policy is to let as many as possible in, take their school fees money then allow them to work a couple of years (think eldercare) to earn some money back. Win-win for the UK economy.

justwise:



When you have the requirements try the UK, check commonwealth scholarship and schools in partnership with them,

Check their requirements so as to help you during the period of preparation.

Applying for scholarship is free so give it a go.

realking:
Yes

Plaouse:


Thank you. But will i be able to transfer if i become a student in a Nigerian University? Seeking a scholarship isn't much of a problem - whats the possibility of getting one (I dont have a straight A result nor a great CGPA its more like Bs)
Like hosey advised, is it better to seek these scholarships at undergraduate or postgraduate level?
