This is possible at some universities for international students eg if you have a first-class degree. Such places are very competitive. However, there are other types of scholarships which you can also apply for such as half-tuition scholarships and other scholarships offering £2,000- £4000 off your tuition also depending on the University. Contact your local BCIE offices for more details on this.
We will guide you through the entire visa application process, and should you follow our advice to the letter, you will have a more than 98% chance of securing the visa. Our members of staff are not only well trained, but have vast experience in advising students on visa applications.
If you were applying to Canada, it could take 4 to 5 months to get a response, and if your application is to Australia, it could take between 4 to 6 weeks, Dubai takes only about one month, the UK 3 weeks and the USA is based on appointments. The time frame differs among countries, but what is important to you as a student is to ensure that you give yourself enough time, by applying early. Avoid the risk of last-minute applications by applying for the course and paying the fee deposit as early as possible. This will also ensure that you give yourself enough time to prepare the documents and meet other requirements for the visa application.
BCIE offers you a comprehensive package of services that will take you from deciding what and where to study, to finally arriving at your carefully selected university. We will assist you with deciding on what and where to study, help with putting in the application, provide you with information on tuition fees and living expenses as well as on financial aid available, on accommodation and importantly provide visa counseling. We will also provide you with a pre-departure briefing. We will ensure that the process is as seamless as possible for you, as we do all the worrying and chasing up for you. Remember – we have direct links with all of our network universities.
Here are some main advantages of using BCIE:
Yes you can, but you usually would have to do a pre master’s programme or equivalent first before you can progress to do the master’s course. However, there are exceptional cases where students with rich work experience for a considerable number of years have done the masters without the premasters. Contact our offices so they can discuss your individual cases with you and ensure that you are getting onto the best course option available.
There are two main choices - Halls of residence or private flats and houses. Halls of residence are University/College owned international student accommodation (full board or self catering). Or a student can stay in a rented flat or house. Private accommodation - is typically a room in a house or a flat shared with other students.
If you comply with BCIE on the visa application, it will be out of the ordinary for you to get a visa refusal. In the rare event where the application is unduly rejected, BCIE will assist you through the administrative review. We have a professional section in charge of Visa counselling, BCIE also organise Visa counselling seminars in order to assist the students, guide them and keep them informed with the latest news.
There are many benefits of studying in the UK. The UK has a long tradition of quality and internationally recognized education. As a student, you also get to experience a multicultural and diverse study atmosphere as the UK is a study destination for students from around the world. The biggest benefit is the time. Qualifications in the UK are finished earlier than in other countries. It takes just 1 year to complete your Postgraduate studies and 3 years for Undergraduate qualifications.
Deciding to study is an investment with life-long consequences, and in so far as the returns on the initial investment will be much higher, with much better job prospects and a worldwide network of contracts, then we cannot say that it is expensive!
A typical undergraduate degree in the UK is 3 years, while a postgraduate degree is 1 year. However, we have universities that offer 2 – year fast track undergraduate degree programmes. There are also top-up undergraduate programmes lasting one year for students who may have previous professional qualifications, ordinary and national diplomas, or extensive relevant work experience.
That will be impossible as you won’t be working long hours or where you will be paid enough to cover tuition fees. However, you might be able to cover your basic needs such as food, transport and clothing. The UKVI and other High Commission rules however will not allow you to apply for your visas unless you can show that you have the full tuition fees and living expenses for the first year in your bank accounts.
The standard time is fifteen working days after the application has been submitted, but we usually encourage our students to apply very early, if possible 2-3 months before the start date of their schools. If this is done, a VISA can be ready in 8 working days. If Visa applications are submitted very close to the start date, there is a strong possibility that the visa will be refused because it was submitted too late.
That would depend on the area of the UK in which you intend to Study. As defined by the UKVI, how much money you need depends on where you will be studying. You’ll need either:
Depending on the level (Foundation, Undergraduate, Postgraduate) for Masters Level, for example, you will be required to provide academic credentials (WAEC certificate, Degree Certificate/ Statement of result, Academic transcripts), a valid passport and referees.
No, you can scan your documents and send them to any of our offices (contact details are on the home page). Processing can then start. Also, you can deal with any of our offices that is most convenient for you. All our staff are well trained and understand that not all our clients can come to the office all the time.
If you are working with us, you can be sure that you are in safe hands but if for any reason you apply on your own and you get a refusal, we will assess the situation and advise you accordingly.
