MrNigeria.:
@ Ayoade, please how easy is it to stay back after masters in the UK? or how did you go about it in your own case?

Donxavier:
Also there are many Nigerians here in Aberdeen but from what I have seen so far only few get very good jobs. I guess that's the reality anyway cos of the recession and all that. But the work wey guys they do after MSC d thing tire me ....Work they would never do if they were in Naija and all that...Why not just go back home..na talk for another thread be that

Before the floodgates open and I'm accused of not respecting the dignity in any Labour I don't have issues with doing any kind of legitimate menial part time work during full study. But if after spending almost 4M and completing your degree, and those kinds of jobs are what one is still staying behind to do in the UK then it doesn't look right to me. My opinion anyways

Hi,

It is difficult to stay back after your studies in this present time. The 2yr post study work visa is cancelled now so the only option is to get a job ( within the extra 4months usually on student visas ) with a company that is willing to sponsor you and then you can switch to tier2 work visa. A few int'l students still manage to land decent jobs and get sponsored but it is very difficult and depend on so many factors such as the uni you attend, your dicipline, your results, yourself, luck etc. In my own case, I did a B.sc not M.sc (Had HND in Nigeria so joined the B.sc program halfway) at an average university but one of the only two universities in the UK offering my course at bachelors level, so we have companies coming to recruit year in year out. I also made a good result and was lucky as well. I got my current job through my university but also got offers from outside.

Any other info, Please post.

Cheers

How about if one take option two?
Option one; tier 2
Option two; highly skilled?

Donxavier:

What do u mean by Option 2? I don't understand your statement.

fados4sure:
In UK, we have two major type of working visa. Namely;
work permit and highly skilled.
Work permit is when you get a job and the establishment is willing to sponsor you why highly skilled is when you apply as highly skilled after graduaton? The disadvantages of highly skilled is that you will maintain some amount of money in your bank account for some time or so. That is what i meant..

peteafrik88: @Skywalker; Pls I need advice on how to survive in the town. How to secure inexpensive and nice accomodation, part time jobs, etc? Thanx

peteafrik88: @Skywalker; Thank you so much for the info, I remain grateful. I am good with a handiwork, which is barbing and hoping to secure a part time job around that. Hiw possible and rewarding is that? Hope it will not be against the visa laws, as adviced by a poster in a previous post?

peteafrik88: @Skywalker; Thanx all thesame. For the barbing, I intend to work for people not start my own business there, it will be my part time job. I will also try to work in between the restricted hours according to the visa rules.

peteafrik88: Good afternoon folks, are there no new things on this our page. So that we intending students can learn before hand.
