Getting a job in the UK thesedays got little or nothing to do with how much you paid in school fees, graduating from the 'good' university is not even good enough in most cases.

If you don't have full-right to work in the UK your chances of landing a job is more than halved, a Nigerian i know just got a job, she did not graduate from the best ranked university but she has full-right to work, the job was not even advertised, just through network of friends.

i've acquired permanent residency about a year ago nothing changes, i was able to save £200 after 8 month of deep cleaning job just immediately i came in this country then had to engage myself in that odd job because there was no job in england,
even during that period all my tuition fees and living expenses have been paid for ( combination of my family and my sweats from naija ) but just wanted to make
extra money for myself.

Will be graduating next summer with bsc hons Business and computing i'm 27yrs now thinking of working in naija or starting a business, TRUST me england are deceit and SUCKERS. the modern age 419 grin

How is that possible within 4yrs as a foreign student? Only if its through marriage.

I can understand the feeling, many people are feeling the same but i don't think you were promised a job plus admission before you left Nigeria.

You haven't even graduated and you complaining about not getting a job?
Re: Does Undergraduate Degree Worth The Price Abroad Especially In Uk? by societalMision: 4:09pm On Oct 28, 2012
dont't tell me after paying HARD currency of £80,000 to £100.000 to graduate is not a good university and not able to get job!

(tuition fees and living exp) had a national diploma @ The Manchester college which cost £20,000 a year
which can get me admitted into the best university in the world 3 years undergraduate £20,000 per session plus other expenses meanwhile this is not still enough
for the system! what a massive rip off!

may be i've bin brainwashed to be an entrepreneur seeking knowledge with all this amount!
if i have invested 10 milion naira in buying and selling in naija i would have gone far rather than wasting my money and energy in GREAT britain ( bullshit)

Forgive me for saying this but i think you are exaggerating issues here, £20,000 a year for diplomat course in a college?

HND course not even diploma in Manchester College this year is between £7,000-£10,000 and i'm sure that 4yrs ago it was less than that. Four yrs ago maintenance money was not a requirement, so i don't know how you come up with £20,000 figure.

The system is not a rip off because we all knew the cost before coming to study in the UK, nobody was promised a job as part of admission.

And if you have permanent resident paper as you claimed then you should be paying much much less in school fees then other foreign students.

The UK govt does not own us a job, Nigerian govt does, we should be blaming our system and govt.

you are not sure it has bin expensive since 2008 when the name changed originally to THE MANCHESTER COLLEGE so you pay £8- £10.000 for the course what about living exp, besides google the college it's got about 17 campuses when i was there!

i've paid off all my fees before acquiring residency because it takes one to be home student when you have permanent stay so i don't want to jeopardise with my education that's why i made payment!

pardon me but i can sense you did not study here grin
when you say the uk gov don't owe us job so why are they deceiving people with school prospectus telling the whole world that you can work and study and acquiring good job with british education. less be real people should stay in nigeria and study except you are going tp study rocket science even the rocket science self na for oyinbo the imperialist!

societalMision we both know that this story doesn't add up, i assumed that you come in 2008, did your a yr diplomat and start your degree in 2009, so you should have graduated by 2011 or at least this yr but you haven't.

As far as i know, in the UK you pay your school fees semester by system or year by year, you are not asked to pay 3yrs school fees at once.

Yes you can work and study but they never promised you a job, many foreign students work and study and some do get a job after studying but its not guaranteed.

You are just beating about here, tell me this...how did you get a resident permit after 3yrs in the UK as a foreign student?

You have only managed to tell a lot of pokies here, paying £80,000 to £100,000 for 3yrs degree and getting resident permit within 3yrs indeed.

The only way you can change status that quick is through marriage, no other way, only if you have been sold forged resident permit stamp.
