This is a scheme that permits individuals from Ukraine to join their family members in Uk. A new scheme however was also launched on Friday the 18th of March 2022, this scheme is known as, homes for Ukraine scheme. This is a scheme whereby Uk citizens or residents offer their homes to individuals from Ukraine, as a way of supporting them. These schemes were created as a reaction to the Ukraine invasion by the Russian government, a way to support Ukrainians during these tough times. A lot of Ukrainians have been rendered homeless and stranded. For the UK to prioritise the Ukraine Family Scheme and the homes for Ukraine Scheme applications, they had to suspend Priority and Super – Priority work, study and family visa applications in Nigeria. The total number of visas that had been issued under the Ukraine Family Scheme as of Thursday, the 17th of March 2022 had a total of 6,500 Here at Negxy Concept Limited, we have gotten a lot of inquiries on this topic, a good number of our students are scared. They are worried and they think that the UK has suspended all work, study and family visa applications; however, this is not the case. Standard visa applications are still ongoing but may take a longer time to process. COVID UPDATE; TERMINATION OF COVID TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS IN THE UK Thankfully, the spread of the Covid 19 virus, which kept the entire world on edge for more than 2years, is gradually easing up. So, the Uk has finally taken down all the Covid-19 travel rules. Such as the Covid test, the 10days quarantine etc. One of the news updates for Uk student was posted on the 18th of March, 2022, and this is that the passenger locator form was scrapped. This means that students going to study in the Uk are not required to fill out the long and tiring locator form before they can be allowed entry into the Uk. ADMISSION UPDATE; UK STUDENT TARGET FROM THE YEAR 2022 TO THE YEAR 2030 To promote growth, the Uk government has set a target of international students that will be accepted in the Uk between this year 2022 – the year 2030. 600,000 international students have been set to be hosted in the Uk every year until the year 2030. This is a great opportunity for you to gather your funds to study in the UK as soon as possible. Be amongst the lucky ones that would beat their chest to say that they are a UK student. Do not relax and think that you still have enough time as thousands of Nigerian students set out to study in the Uk every year now imagine other countries? UNIVERSITY UPDATE; INTRODUCTION OF CREDIBILITY INTERVIEWS IN UK UNIVERSITIES As we all know, not all universities require an interview to be done before issuing CAS (Confirmation for Acceptance of Studies). In this case, as soon as you receive your unconditional offer from a Uk university, all you need to do is pay up your tuition deposit and then request for your CAS. However, part of the news update for UK students is that some schools in the UK now require credibility interviews to be done before the issuance of CAS. This is so as these universities want to ensure that the students coming to study are well qualified. Reach out to us to know the universities that now require a credibility interview to be done. Do note that this interview is for students who receive their unconditional offers this March 2022.

More Opportunities for Third-Class and HND Holders in the UK

MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIRD-CLASS AND HND HOLDERS IN THE UK There is no education that is ever a waste, no matter the grade, educational institution or country attended, there will always be an advantage for every knowledge gained. One of these advantages is the study opportunities that third-class and HND holders in the UK have. Who said Third-class and HND holders can not study in the UK? Yes, they can, they have the opportunity to study a Top-up programme, a Premasters and Master’s degree programme and even a direct masters programme. They also have the chance of getting permanent residency in the UK. Students with a third-class or HND however, should be aware that they are certain requirements and conditions needed before they can study in the UK and this varies by universities in the UK. TOP-UP PROGRAMME This programme is a one year programme that is strictly for HND holders, third class degree students are not open to this option. With a Top-up, a student can get a BSC certification that will enable them successfully apply to study for a master’s degree in the UK. Do have in mind that the types of courses opened to this programme are mostly IT, Business and Engineering courses. Doing a top-up programme in the UK will enable a student to stay back in the UK for as long as 4 years, this is so as the top-up is 1 year, the master’s program is 1 year and students are given a 2 years post-study permit. Before the 2 years post-study permit ends, a student can find good employment that will enable them to stay back and work in the UK. After they have stayed in the UK for as long as 5 years, may then can apply for permanent residence. PREMASTERS AND MASTERS DEGREE Students with an HND and Thirdclass can go for a Premasters and a Masters degree programme in the UK. The duration of a pre-masters program is determined by admission officers in UK universities, based on the Cumulative Grade Point Average of the student. The course duration can be as low as 3 – 4 months and as high as 1 year. A student can study any course of choice during a pre-masters study, however, this depends on the courses available in the University. After a pre-masters programme, they can apply for a one-year master’s program. Students going for a pre-masters and master’s degree has the chance to stay in the UK for as long as 2 years, and are entitled to a 2 years post-study work permit. This gives HND and third-class degree students the opportunity to stay in the UK for a long period of time. DIRECT MASTERS Students with an HND and Third-class degree can go for a direct master’s in the UK, however, the programme that they are entitled to is an accelerated (extended) master’s. This is a 15 months master’s program and not all universities in the UK have the option of a direct master’s for third-class and HND holders. Courses opened to HND and third-class degree holders in some UK Universities are business management courses however, there are just a very few universities that permit HND and third-class degree holders to study health, IT and Engineering courses. Most universities in the UK expect students with HND and Third-class to have good working experience before they can go for this program in the UK. Without working experience, most universities will not accept students for this program. Students going for a direct master’s has the opportunity to study in the UK longer than 12 months and if they are able to find good employment after their studies in the UK, they have the chance of getting permanent residence. SCHOOLS IN THE UK THAT ACCEPTS THIRD-CLASS AND HND HOLDERS There is a good number of universities in the UK that accepts students with HND and Third-class degree for Top-up, Premasters and direct masters. Here are some of these universities University of South Wales Coventry University Edinburgh Napier University Robert Gordon University Sheffield Hallam University University of Sunderland University of Wolverhampton University of Huddersfield University of Chester University of Hertfordshire University of Westminster At Negxy Concept Limited, we are here to guide you and ensure your admission process is successful and smooth, therefore, for more questions please reach out to our counsellor.

Opportunities for prospective Ireland Students

OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS LOOKING TO STUDY IN IRELAND If you are interested in studying in Europe or in studying abroad, then you should consider studying in Ireland as there are a great number of opportunities for prospective Ireland students. Ireland, which is mostly known as the Republic of Ireland, is located in the northwestern part of Europe and its capital is Dublin. Ireland is known to have a population as low as 4.8million, this makes it a peaceful and safe country, which can be said to be one out of the numerous opportunities prospective students with the intentions to study in Ireland have. A lot of our clients come to us looking to study in the UK. Yes, the UK is a great study abroad option but Ireland is also an amazing option too. The Republic of Ireland is a good country to study in, this is why the immigration authorities ensure that Prospective students coming into the country for their studies are well qualified. This explains their strict admission process, like providing a 6 months bank statement and writing an English Level Test, are there are lots of opportunities for prospective Ireland students in the country Let us take a look at the privileges that Ireland has put in place for students with the intention to study in the country. FEES ( TUITION FEES, PROOF OF FUNDS ) FOR PROSPECTIVE IRELAND STUDENT One of the opportunities for studying in Ireland is the affordable tuition fees. In Ireland, there are tuition fees that range between €10,000 – €15,000. (Euro) Tuition fees are expected to be paid in full before proceeding to the visa stage, therefore, the proof of funds to be provided should only contain the student’s cost of living, which is around €7,000. €7,000 (Cost of Living) + 15,000 (Tuition fees ) = €22, 000 With around 10,000,000 – 11,000,000 naira, you can comfortably scale through the admission process and the visa process and successfully study in Ireland. It is a great opportunity as the fees needed for your studies are more affordable compared to that of the UK, Canada or even the USA. SPONSORSHIP FOR VISA PROCESSING Unlike the UK, which permits only parents to sponsor a student’s admission, Ireland permits all types of family members, both nuclear or extended. As long as proof of relationship is shown (such as a birth certificate), then any family member can be a sponsor for your studies. This is an opportunity for you as a prospective Ireland students that makes it possible to successfully study, as you do not have to wait until you have saved up enough funds before you can travel for your studies. PERMANENT RESIDENCY You are entitled to a 2-years post-study work permit after your master’s program in Ireland and there are a lot of jobs for students. After this permit ends, you are allowed to apply for a work visa as long as you have a permanent job. In the UK an employment letter from a licensed organisation must be provided and the organisation must file a Certificate of Sponsorship request before a student can be considered for a work visa, however, this does not apply in Ireland. To apply for a work visa in Ireland all you need to provide is your offer letter from the organisation where you work, the organisation does not need to request a certificate of sponsorship. After being in Ireland for more than 5years, moving from a study visa to a work visa, you can go ahead to apply for permanent residency.

Breakdown of Funds Needed to Study in the UK

BREAK-DOWN OF FUNDS NEEDED TO STUDY IN THE UK Before making plans for your studies, you are advised to enquire about the funds needed, to ensure that you are capable of studying and living in the UK. However, know that Negxy Concept Limited got you 101% of the time, this is why we will be writing the breakdown of funds needed to study in the UK just for you! To successfully study in the UK, you need to be able to bear the cost (the funds) that is needed for both your admission process and also your visa process. Let us give an example on the breakdown of funds needed to study in the UK with a student going to study Management and International Business at Birmingham City University. FUNDS NEEDED FOR YOUR ADMISSION PROCESS TO THE UK Students who have received an unconditional offer to study Management and International Business at Birmingham City University for September 2022 intake should already be aware of the tuition fee and cost of living in the UK. The tuition fee for International students studying this course is £16, 300 per year for 2022 September and January 2023 intakes, and the cost of living in Birmingham City (Outside London ) is £9, 207. After an unconditional offer is received, students are expected to pay up their tuition deposit. The tuition deposit for Birmingham City University is £3000. Once this payment is made, the students can deduct this amount from the Tuition fee, in order to know how much is left to pay. £16, 300 – £3000 = £13, 300 This means that the student is left to pay £13, 300. Birmingham City University requires student’s bank statements (proof of funds) to be shown before a Pre-Cas interview can be done or a CAS can be received. I am sure you wonder, how do you calculate your bank statement? It is your Tuition balance + Cost of living Which is £13, 3000 + £9, 207 = £22, 507 When doing your conversion to Nigerian currency we always advise students to add an extra 50 – 70 Naira, due to currency fluctuations For example, using bank rates, £1 = 557 Naira, however, we always advise students to make use of 620 Naira. Therefore, for conversion, multiply the sum total of your tuition balance and cost of living by 620 Naira. 22,507 X 620 = 13,954,340 The student must show a bank statement with the sum total of 13,954,340 Naira and these funds must be in their account for 28 and the latest 29 days. FUNDS NEEDED FOR YOUR UK STUDENT VISA After CAS has been received, the students are expected to prepare for the UK Student visa, they should be aware of the funds needed for this process. For the UK Student Visa, students are expected to do a Tuberculosis test, pay for a Visa fee and an IHS fee. Tuberculosis Test is 57, 800 naira Visa Fee is $500 IHS Fee is $1003 for 12 months course. In essence, the funds needed for students going for Management and International Business at Birmingham City University should be over 15, 000, 000 Naira. However, it is important to reach out to our counsellors on the breakdown of funds needed to study in the Uk, as these prices and fees are often updated. Stay updated on the funds needed to study in the UK at all times. Negxy Concept Limited is a study abroad agency in Lagos with over 5000 successful admissions and visas under her belt.

Why an up-to-date CV is needed for your admission

WHY AN UP-TO-DATE CV IS NEEDED FOR YOUR ADMISSION A CV is one of the requirements needed for your admission process and it must be an up-to-date CV. This means that as a prospective student, you must provide a CV containing updated information about yourself. I bet you wonder why an up-to-date CV is needed for your admission right? Well, let us take a look at this scenario. SCENARIO Ade has decided to study abroad and made up his mind that he want to study in the UK at Coventry University for May intake. He comes to us to help him with his admission process, we let him know that he is putting in his application at the dying minute and advice him to send in his documents as soon as possible. We give him the list of admission requirements needed to study at Coventry University. These requirements are an International passport, Official transcript, Degree Certificate, WAEC/NECO, Personal Statement, updated CV and a Reference letter. He provides all these documents but due to the lack of time, he was unable to update his CV with recent information about himself, like, filling in the years of gap in his CV (Which is, updating his work history) and ensuring that the contact information provided is accurate. His application is done using the contact information on his CV and his documents are submitted. The admission officers the University receive his documents, they see his Passport as proof of his nationality, his transcript and degree certificate as proof of his educational background, his WAEC as proof of his English proficiency, his personal statement as proof of his intentions to study at Coventry University, his reference as proof of his character and past performance then they go through his CV and they are unimpressed. Ade graduated from the university in the year 2012 and on his CV it states that he worked at Aqualand industry between the year 2016 – 2017 and he is currently working at ABC Ltd, from the year 2020 till date. This leaves the university admission officers wondering about the 3 years after he graduated and the 2 years gap between working at Aqualand and ABC ltd. The CV does not accurately prove his professional background, therefore he is granted a conditional Offer, with the condition to provide an updated CV. His offer letter is sent to the email address which was provided and our agency’s email address is copied in the mail. We reach out to him to inform him about his offer and tell him to check his mailbox for the offer letter but he did not receive the mail. We then realize that the email address provided on the CV was not accurate. Ade immediately presents the updated CV and thankfully he will still be able to meet up with the intake. THE END DISADVANTAGES OF PROVIDING A CV THAT IS NOT UP-TO-DATE Providing a CV that is not up-to-date can lead to getting a conditional offer or even completely missing out on your opportunity to study abroad. We have had cases of clients whose contact details (both the email address and phone number) were wrong. To avoid being a victim of such situations, you must provide a CV containing updated information about yourself for your admission process. You should know that your CV is one of your selling points to the University as to why you should be accepted. Another lesson learnt from this scenario is the importance of doing an early application, keep in mind that you may not be as lucky as Ade. Start your admission process early and provide all the necessary documents. Do not forget to present an up-to-date- CV. Reach out to us if you need more details on the importance of providing an up-to-date CV.

The Latest News from the UK Home Office

THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE UK HOME OFFICE For people to stay updated on the latest news from the UK home office, they are being advised to follow up on the UK home office website Do you wonder what a UK home office is and what its responsibilities are? Then you should know that the UK Home Office is the lead government department for immigration and passports, counter-terrorism, drugs policy, crime etc. They are in charge of keeping the first duty of the government, which is maintaining a high level of security. They do this by keeping citizens and the country safe and secure, they are responsible for ensuring economic prosperity in the UK. COVID 19 UPDATES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS The outbreak of the Covid 19 virus, in December 2019, caused the UK to put up strict travel rules to curb the spread of the deadly disease. Travel rules such as Passengers Locator form The pre-departure covid test, Day 2 Covid test Day 8 Covid test, 10 days quarantine Fortunately, Covid 19 vaccination was established and has been distributed and administered to citizens in their different counties. Following the release of the Covid 19 vaccination, the UK gradually eased the travel rules, whereby, vaccinated individuals were requested to only provide just the day 2 covid test. However, the UK home office just released the latest news on a new covid rule, which is to take effect from the 11th of February, 2022. This new rule states that fully vaccinated passengers arriving in England will no longer need to take any mandatory Covid – 19 tests. The current requirement for the day – 2 arrival test will be removed but the passenger locators form will still be provided. Those who are not fully vaccinated will still be required to provide a pre-departure covid test and a day 2 covid test upon arrival. Therefore, students with the intention to study for a program in the UK are advised to get vaccinated before beginning their admission or visa processing to the UK. LATEST NEWS ON THE UK STUDENT VISA In the first week of December 2021, there was an outbreak of a new Covid 19 variant, known as the Omicron covid variant. This virus was spreading rapidly and was known to be highly contagious. For the UK to be able to curb this covid variant and protect its citizens, they put up strict rules like Pre-departure covid test for both vaccinated and unvaccinated students, they banned visitor visa applicants and most importantly, they stopped the priority and super-priority visa. What are priority and super-priority visas?

The UK No Longer Trust Nigerian Proof of Funds

THE UK NO LONGER TRUST NIGERIAN PROOF OF FUNDS It is shocking for Nigerians that the UK no longer trust their proof of funds, this troubling news broke out on Friday, January 14th,2022, when the UK started questioning the validity of Nigerian proof of funds (bank statement). These past days and even weeks truly have been a roller coaster for Nigeria. The ending of the year, December 2021, had its own drama, this drama being the Omicron Virus (Coronavirus Variant) which led the UK to put up strict rules for Nigerian students and even ban Nigerians planning to travel to the UK with a visiting visa. This year, not up to a month ago, another commotion between Nigeria and the UK has arisen, this commotion affects strictly Nigerian students who have intentions to study in the UK. As we all know, students are expected to show a bank statement (proof of funds) containing their tuition fees, alongside their cost of living before they are being granted CAS or a visa to successfully study in the UK. The total balance in their bank account at the time this is being presented, convinces the university admission team and the immigration authorities that the student will be able to complete the tuition fee payment and also, can afford to comfortably live during their studies in the UK. However, all of their efforts have proven fruitless as a lot of students find it difficult to pay up their tuition fees after enrolment into a UK university. Succeeding this issue, on the 14th of January 2022, there was a new headline, stating that Nigerians may be obtaining loans so they can show UK immigration authorities that they have accurate funds in their account during their stay in the UK, loans which they later return after acquiring their student visa. This not only made headlines here in Nigeria, but it has also gotten to so many Universities in the UK and proves why most Nigerians are unable to make their tuition payments after getting to the UK, therefore, this has led to a lack of trust towards proof of funds provided by Nigerian students. To contain the issue, some UK universities have put up measures and conditions to guarantee the ownership of the funds presented by the students, measures such as additional documents. WHAT ARE THESE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS THAT MUST BE PROVIDED TO BACK UP A NIGERIAN PROOF OF FUNDS? A few weeks ago, the issue of lack of trust by the UK towards Nigerians proof of funds escalated. Some students who got admitted to study during January intake in the UK were made to provide new requirements by the university admission team and the immigration authorities to back up the proof of funds that was presented. Some of these new requirements are: A statement showing transitions from a previous period (different to the financial evidence provided and within the last six months) The front only of a bank card or Cheque book showing the account holder’s name Signed and stamped letter from the bank (produced on a different date to the statement) outlining the duration for which the account has been held DOES NEGXY CONCEPT LIMITED OFFER PROOF OF FUNDS SERVICES? No, Negxy Concept Limited does not offer proof of funds services for prospective UK students. It is important for you to know that Nigerian Students are not the only ones being affected by this issue, study abroad agents are also affected. There is certain news flying around stating that study abroad agents may be lending money to students for the sole purpose of deceiving the UK immigration authorities. This news has put Nigerian UK agents in a tight spot, as they are being scrutinized and monitored by the UK immigration authorities to prove the validity of the news. WHAT TO DO IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO STUDY IN THE UK Get a job and begin saving up until you can afford to pay for the tuition fees and cost of living while studying in the UK. Seek assistance from your parents or spouse to sponsor your education in the UK. However, they must place the funds in your bank account. Speak with our counsellors for more advice and information concerning how to successfully study in the UK. Negxy Concept Limited is a study abroad agency in Lagos with over 5000 successful admissions and visas under her belt. Some of our clients say that we are the best study abroad agency in Lagos and others say we are the No 1 study abroad agency in Nigeria, but what do you think?

This change affected a good number of Nigerian students who had plans to study for the January 2022 intake. It also affected universities, as they had to make adjustments to suit the changes that were made by the government, like virtual classes for students who were yet to get their visas or begin their visa process, and also, deferring student’s offers until the next intake etc Students who did their admission and visa process for January 2022 intake early, did not have to bother about this. Therefore, putting in admission and visa applications late in the year 2022 should be avoided so as not to end up in a situation whereby your offer is withdrawn or deferred due to unforeseen circumstances like Covid 19. Early admission and visa application should be done to ensure success in your travelling process and studies abroad this year 2022. Technological Advancements One of the trends for study abroad matters is Technological Advancements.

Yes, studying and living in these countries especially as an International student will be a great experience but most Nigerians relocate seeking better opportunities due to the poor state of the country. Every year, thousands of Nigerians travel to study abroad as they experience numerous problems that are occurring in the country, problems like Insecurity, poor economy, corruption, low exchange rate, low standard of living, and the upcoming issue which is a phobia for elections, as major elections are on the way, etc Due to these problems, Nigerians have taken to studying abroad most especially in the year 2022, as a means to avoid election phobias, to have a better and safer standard of living, for greater opportunities and all the benefits that come with studying abroad in these countries.

The push factors for Nigerians in this year 2022 are Bad Governance Insecurity Upcoming Elections etc The Canadian government created attractive policies that pull foreigners into the country. These policies can be known as migration schemes, they are point-based programs that attract citizens into Canada, (Nigerian citizens that fall under any of the categories) Some of the pull factors that attract Nigerians into Canada are Education Program Canadian experience class program Federal skilled workers program Federal skilled trades program The education program is one of the major pull factors in Canada because of their scholarships.
