I am starting MSc pharmacology and Biotechnology in Sheffield Hallam university by September 2020.
1. Who is going to this school by September?
2. I want to go with my husband as my dependent. Can we use an uncles statement of account that will cover for the both of us?
3. Do schools request for statement of account before issuing CAS?
4. Is it wise to find and pay for accommodation from here before going to UK, do they as for such in VISA interview.

I am going to this school this September by God’s Grace.
No, use your personal statement of account. Your uncle can send the money to your account.
No, you have to pay the Deposit and CAS will be sent to you.
It depends on what you prefer, I will prefer to see and check the accommodations myself before payment.

Your answer about CAS and bank statements is not entirely correct. Some schools ask to see a 28-day bank statement before CAS is issued. He/She would have to find out from the university of choice if a 28-day bank statement is one of the conditions to be met for issuance of CAS

I was replying based on Sheffield Hallam University. My bad, I should have indicated that.

Skymoore1004:
Why did you apply to them, if you had doubts?
Plus what do you mean by “good uni”? What is your definition of “good”?

(1)

For someone who studied English for first degree in Nigeria..what course is suitable for masters in the UK? Can one study French or any foreign language in the Uk..I anticipate your favorable responses

What course gives you butterflies?

@ALL, what do you think about this?

This accommodation thing is now a dicey situation. Yes, ideally one should do Bed&breakfast booking for a few days while looking around for one's most preferred accommodation but with the 14 days quarantine rule coming into play having to provide an address at the port of entry, that doesn't seem feasible. It seems one would just have to take the risk of paying for a place in absential (without physical viewing).

Abi person go quarantine for bed and breakfast for two weeks ni??

jaeybee98:
1.) I understand the difference between experience and RELEVANT experience

2.)Yes, i meant a Biochemistry degree from Nigeria

3.) A biochemist can be HCPC registered as a CLINICAL SCIENTIST, not as a Biomedical Scientist with a degree in Biochemistry


Modified: i'm volunteering at a government owned laboratory[b][/b] to gather more experience.

So you are hoping to register as a CLINICAL SCIENTIST. Cool.

You are currently volunteering in a Govt Lab as a?
CLINICAL SCIENTIST? No? Yes?
Do you see why I mentioned the difference between Experience and Relevant experience?

That rule is currently under intense debate in the UK.
They may scrap it.

Some schools are offering quarantine accommodation for international students, confirm from your school and if not you could raise this up as a concern

Cheers

Hello, [b]how many years experience does a Nigerian trained biochemist seeking HCPC certification to register as a clinical scientist need to make the application successful?[/b][b][/b]

Have you tried sending an email on this enquiry? https://www.hcpc-uk.org/contact-us/registration/, if you scroll down the link there is an email address there.

That should clarify your doubts if any

Cheers

hI GUYS, Please a lady wants to apply for tier 4 visa with 3 dependants,(hisband and 2 kids) but came up short on funds. Can she apply alone and go? When funds drop later the husband and 2 kids can Jon her. The issue is the second daughter is currently 8 months old and will be 11 months by Sept start date. She wants to drop the girl with grandma.

Can UKVI issue the mother visa to go ALONE or will they check the dependent details she will be leaving behind and make a decision?

Dependents can go at any time or not got at all. It all depends on the applicant pocket and choices.... the only stipulation is that for a child to apply the second parent must apply together or previously given.

Hello can the money in your account exceed 28 days. Can it be in your account for over three months ?

Lol yes. It doesn’t matter how long it’s in your account for. What matters is that it is in your account for at least 28 days prior to your application (statement must be less than 30 days old etc)

Is there anyone living in Stirling, Scotland? Looking for indepth information on jobs, children schools for a prospective student come September..thanks

I doubt this will still fly by September. They were proposing a £60 test fee for a family of 4 as at yesterday. In other words, every traveler is tested for a Covid 19 on arrival. It will become clearer before September I believe.

Hi is there anyone going for PGCE course, and which university?

To be honest, i don't think there's a job title in Nigeria as 'Clinical scientist' but i hope to modify or adjust my role there to align with HCPC's roles of clinical scientists

Please who’s going to the University of York?

This is a very good university, among the top. You’re gonna be a scholar

Please who’s going to the University of York?

UKVI has now opened but they are handling passport returns for now (I guess those are for old applications)

Goodevning house.. Please I need direction from the house and I will be as honest as possible..

I want to apply for a UK student or visiting visa.. I'm a first time applicant so I'm a novice.. I spoke to an agent who processed for a friend(outside London and she went for masters, for 3million)some money were also deposited into her account and she got it.. Now in the UK.

I spoke with the agent to help me process mine and he told me not to go for a student visa because it might be denied reason being that, it's a long time I wrote my SSCE(12years back) I have not done my degree but my friend did.

I have a registered company with a business account.. I haven't transacted any business with my business account, I have been using my personal account for all my transactions.. Should I apply for a visa with my business account or my personal account? I'm into importation of second hand wears but someone is helping me buy and send.. I have the receipt of some of the goods pouchesed for me but shipped with someone else's name.. I have pictures of most of my goods and when I'm selling them.. Can I get all these together and with some money in my personal account apply for visiting visa, telling them I'm going to buy goods..?

Another option.. I have a family friend that has been to the UK with the family And came back.. Can I act as their house help so they can apply for me as their help who will help them take care of the kids over there? How will the embassy now they have good travel history.. Would they be asked to show their passport?

I also have a friend who has a very big old company that said..hey, I will look for a way to get you a UK visa but knowing that UK doesn't look at anybody's face,...can someone get one a visa with his or her company name or influence Is so big

Please someone should help me on the best way to go about it.. I'm scared of denial that's why im looking for the best way.. Thanks in anticipation.

1. You don't need an agent to complete your visa application if you read the tier 4 rules and read up on previous posts in this thread. As long as you can defend your reason for choosing to study in the UK and why you've been out of the academic system for a long time, it wouldn't affect your application.
2.You don't need your corporate account for a tier 4 application, your personal account is what is required.
3. Act as their househelp as a way to circumvent the rules? Even if they agree, are they willing to pay you as much as you require for your services?
4. The only way a company in the UK can get you a work visa will be to sponsor you on a tier 2 visa and the requirements are no child's play. Those who have the tier 2 sponsorship will not give it if you don't have what they require.

If you want to travel to the UK genuely then forget eveything the agent, your friend in the UK told because non will work.

Firstly can you afford to student in the UK? It will cost you at least 20M naira.

If yes then search for school online and apply for admission, this is completely free and you can do this in a day or two.

Read first page of this thread for cost of studying the UK and how to go about it

Good evening sister.
Please relax..you came here for help and help you will get.

Now that agent is looking for easy clients, so he told you that. UK is not Canada..even for their citizens, there is called Mature student.

Even if you don't have a first degree, but you have been doing business, even with your personal accounts. So I think with proper preparation, you should be fine.

Let's take it one issue at a time.

1) Which course are you interested in doing? Is it business related or any field? You need to decide this first.
2.) Do you have the finances for schooling in the UK? The average amount for undergraduate studies in the UK is around 15k pounds (for school fees alone for international students) + 9200 for maintenance..= 24 -25k pounds ( 12 -13m naira) per year. This is excluding other costs like visa fee, IHS charge, TB test, flight ticket, etc. so I would round it up minimum 15m...
Remember Undergraduate programs are 3 years.. calculate that cost..
3) If you just want to relocate, then I would advise also considering other european countries like Germany/Netherland/Norway/Sweden etc... this is because these countries either waive tuition fee or have reduced fees..and less costlier than UK. I hear Undergraduate in Netherland is btw 3-4m annually.. do the research..
4) You wll need to do your research...it is very important in this relocation journey..
5) For UK, the first step is getting the admission, other things will follow if you do the right things and follow the process
6) If someone wants to employ you as their child care giver, there's a lot process and the length of time you can stay there is not long.. so check and verify
7) Any other thing that doesn't sound right or legal ..I can't talk about it as I don't condone it nor use it.. so I am unable to answer that question

Okido..your responses will help us help you better.. so over to you..

[thanks for your response... The Friend's company is here in nigeria not in the UK.. Again please can you explain better what you mean buy if the people I want to act as their house help can afford the money to pay.. I intend to pay for the expenses if they agree since they already have their visa.. (I pay for my visa, hostel for us..

But what I understand is that you are advising me to go for a student visa and explain why I have been out of school for so long?

Thanks for the clarification. A Nigerian employer can't sponsor a UK work visa except they have a subsidiary + T2 license in the UK.
Aside from the money, the rules have changed a lot with lots of restrictions as a result of human trafficking amongst other reasons. You can now only spend 6 months in the UK on the domestic worker visa (you'd also need to have worked as a help for 1 year prior to application) and it's subject to your employer's stay in the UK. If you're looking at moving to the UK, biko negodu that route. Pls don't be too desperate to move from Nigeria to avoid falling victim of misrepresentation, scams or other undesirable schemes.

Your friend's company can sponsor you to study in the UK if it's an international company; the company can't sponsor your visa as a domestic staff without justifying it with payslips, employment confirmation e.t.c.
If you're interested in a visit visa, ensure that your company is paying you (pay yourself a salary even if you are a sole proprietorship) because a company's funds isn't for personal use. You can back your personal account showing your salary for 6 months + your company docs. This shows that you have funds available to you + ties that to Nigeria.
If you would like to study, you can but you'd need to do your findings and be prepared for the attendant financial investment required. Don't make any decision in a hurry to avoid filling in information that could come back to bite you in the a**.

To add to what others are saying ..What exactly would you want to do

1)Study in the UK?
2) Visit the UK?
3) Work in the UK?

You can't want to do all of them
