No, I'm not coming. Some people have spent their life savings there and ended up with no job. Gone are the days man. Thanks for the offer though.
i am not an agent for anyone and i am not advertising for the school.But, i want to advice anyone coming to school in England there are things u need to know if u r planning to comeQuote:

make your advise public, it could inspire guys to wish 4 it
about 12 of my coursemates went 4 their masters programmes in uk, since over a year now, it's only one of dem that has bn able to get a job. i had to terminate mine. so what's d use????
@Poster, if you have anything reasonable to say, post it here for everybody to see. Or do you want to start demanding for money? I believe there shouldn't be anything fishy about studying in UK. Naijahotjobs.com is an open forum and not a secret forum. One love.
What about Univ of Manchy that u can't post here for everybody to see??..
i hope u r not quoting me wrong? UK schools r one of the best universities in the world and i am proud i am here i just feel there r other things nigerians coming here should know that will be of help to them plzz be informedQuote:

It is not rossy in the UK and most UK graduate here would not tell you what they do for survival, my advise to anyone coming to the Uk for study is for you to plan and pray for God's favour. God bless u!
yes u r right but if u have the money just come-good education is goodQuote:

Man you said it all, the guy is studying at imperial where he is paying the top pounds .Their tuition is about 22k pounds for master.Moreover UK schools are not all that good. They are just interested in Int, Students fees. Imagine universities offering oil and gas engineering course to someone who read biology and had no engineering background. From my observation UK schools are similar to Naija where you cram pour and fashy the stuff. You are only adding more to paper certificate with no work exposure, though it might be a stepping stone to some jobs and can give one edge over other who dosen't posses the same certifificate.
IF YOU DONT HAVE MONEY FOR UK EDUCATION,YOU CAN ATTEMPT SOUTH AFRICA EDUCATION...IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE BEST
One of the best in which course? We talking of oil and gas, engineering, medicine, art, law, etc not violence, robbery, murder, burglary and rape.Quote:

Plssss, can anyone offer adivce on the current US Visa Interview tips / experiences? Your simple information could go a long way. Thanks.
House, I mean can anyone help with info about the current US student visa interview tips or experience. No info is useless plsss. Thanks.
Last-last d J.O.B. na God hand e dey ...
Sometimes too na we be dey cause our palava >:(... i know one guy wey read Naija Bio-Chemistry for undergrad come here come do Masters in Gas Engineering for Salford ... My pipulu, how can we relate these two courses??? ???
Thinking of coming to Salford for M.Sc Oil and Gas engineering. All I've been getting are tales of woes and scary stories. I've got my funds though and read a relevant course, but during this period (economic crises et al), value is the most important thing. So I ask, if a
UK masters is worth it on the long run, does it have a short term advantage i.e quick job offer et al or is it better to secure a relevant job here (*?!) and get a study leave. (Current status-job seeker).
smh...some people just don't get it . There is no university in this world that will guarantee you a job after ur masters or whatever u study. At the end of the day its down to the individual to distinguish them-self and find their calling. Some of u are talking about job job job is that all there is to life, what about going to further ur study just to give you a different perspective of your subject of interest. I don't think any serious minded organization will bother employing some of us who just come out and make statements that lack deep thinking. To get a job is harder than keeping a job, you will have to work hard at developing yourself to sell urself as an idea...and if u have masters degree and can't do that I feel sorry for you. There will always be tales of woe and tales of triumph, u make ur own story. So don't come and be knocking off other people's idea of getting masters as a waste of time, if thats what you want go for it...the only thing I can say is make sure the school you go for has history and reputation of producing the best and work hard yourself at the end of the day its not a sprint to who gets the best job, its a walk to see who makes the best out of it all...time and chance happens to them all.
@ house, true talk, gone are the days when we hear going abroad and we start wishing. Nothing dey dere o! Oil and gas sef except na for known schools like imperial no dey sell again o! one has to be careful when chosing a school and course, make e no be say u don throway money o! Id rather go to IPS dan go abroad se to do Pet Engr. Well said, allow God to guide you. Finally methinks its all about the benjamin.......
One luv
@etiese. You made a mistake by trying to make a good advice seem very fishy. What was your initial plan in asking the house to contact you directly for your solomonic "advice"?
@ucheson2007. Please, don't misinform the house. There is no basis of comparison between Nigerian and British schools. All of the people I know who undertook their masters degrees in the UK are of the opinion that we don't have engineering schools in Nigeria. How do you compare the "theoretical engineering" we have here in Nigeria with the "practical engineering" in the Uk?
asked any one who attended engineering school in any western world.
I repeat again, is the same, the only difference i see is dedication from staff member and some of the courses have been modernized to suit current trend in engineering.
Those practicals were not obtain from university, the only thing you do in the uni lab is verification of principles you are taught. you only have insight into the practical per say if you are enrolling for research where you will be using more of lab equipment.
Mind you to be called an engineer in the uk, us canada after bachelors, you must have graduated from accredited school and trained on the job for the minimum of fours yrs, this is even supervised training not any how training. Those practical are acquired in the field period. No university will equip you will practical skill if you like go to even MIT Engineering.
masters na masters any where. 9jaooo ukooo usoo its all the same. no engineering masters degree will make you a pro in the practical aspect. its the same calculus, Laplace transform, and fourier series. nothing more.so whatz the hip for? they cheat in exams every where.9ja not an exeption. the msc has not added so much to the industries apart from class distinction.

It seems quite true that UK schools are very much interested in International Students Fees (who wouldn't? when we have to pay so much). I also agree that the M.Sc doesn't automatically secure you a job (not even in USA). However, you cannot compare the level of exposure and competition you are faced with here in the UK with what is obtainable in 9ja (we are talking about a First-World Country here). Over here you're dealing with up-to-date innovations and ideas rather than out-dated theories. If you can afford it, then I'll advice anyone to pursue a master's degree in UK, especially if you have a sincere love for knowledge and hard work. If you think you're coming here because you want to get a job and earn big money afterwards then you're making a big mistake; you should instead turn into a business man. This is not to say you can't get a job after studying here, but let that not be your primary purpose. For me, whether or not i get a job after my studies, i'll be happy that with what i have learnt so far, I have added unquantifiable value to my career and life as a whole.
True talk my brother. Some people have even concluded plan to sell their parents only plot of land at Lekki in order to abroad for masters not minding the consequence of such action.Quote:
