Dear Fellows

UK has always been a fascinating place to live and study, and to fulfil my fantasy I had also moved to London. I have completed my studies religiously and now here living peacefuly by the grace of Almighty. This attainment of peace hasn't come to me with much ease infact I have been through all of the hardships as is the case with many of us. For me there was no proper guidance and I am proud to say that I have carved my way by myself and by the grace of Almighty Allah.
Now is the time I feel to pass on my experiences to the most genuine of the students. If your ultimate aim is to get here for fun or money, I am sorry I wont be able to help you but if genuinely want to study and need guidance including admission procedure and institution information I will be able to help you. Anyone with a sincere desire go study can contact me.

NB: I dont have any links with any consultants and my services are charge free. My information should be considered as a guidance only and I should not be held liable for any outcome.

Alee.! I just didn't get your purpose of coming here. If you wanna study then certainly Glasgow is not the place. And I dont know how your friend compared Glasgow as compared w.r.t other cities. Ofcourse London is the most vibrant city and the part time job prospects here more here. Give me some more details, which course you want to study, what you have already studied.? Whats your financial circumstances.? Only then I can advised you.!

As per today's situation of UK, don't ever think you can earn any handsome amount on student visa. First of all you will hardly find any part time job here even work allowed on your visa. If you found any, forget the university fee, you will even not be able to cover your living expenses.

Yes there is there great misconception abroad that coming to live in London is easy, and finding a job is easy. Think again, it's not! Very expensive and a general hostile environment to foreigners from the general population (and the UKBA

)

not really out of all countries UK people are most welcoming. UKBA have to do this as most people from 3rd world counties abused their system. so they got clever.

Yes getting job is hard and you cant pay for your school fees by working here. if you have money this is the best place to come and study and go work any where in the world.

I would agree that paying fee is impossible by working here...its impossible to save £10K by working even full time here... I would suggest come for Masters programme..which is a one year programme...complete your degree and try to find a job in Canada..or UAE..! As the value of British Degree is still high in those parts of the world..!

Actually,my univ fee is £6k for a year,i've talked to my my friend and he told me that by working hard you can get ur fee somehow for univ,he said that it's impossible,yet it would be so hard.

Regardless of whether you are able to earn enough to fund your course, you need to show that you have the funds for your fees and your living costs in order to obtain the visa in the first place.

Which Uni are you intending to go.? As per my knowledge there isn't any uni which charges 6K..! There are colleges which are offering Uni degrees and which charge this range of fee. Look it depends on your purpose of coming here..if your purpose to come here, is to earn money..then you shouldnt be worrying for your next year's fee or if your purpose is to study..then you should come prepared.. My suggestion would be save this money complete your undergrads from Pakistan..there are still quite a number of good institutions like LUMS or IBA..which will cost a lot less than a degree from an average institution here.! Then come for one year Masters programme.!

glyndwr university london is costing me around 6k for a year! If you are asking me the purpose of coming there,then listen,i just wanna study my course,and for the completion of my graduation i will need to work hard to get my expenses and tuition cost!

jaidkhan · Post by **jaidkhan** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 3:29 pm

Trust me..the standard of Glynder Uni is even lower than an average Pakistani..Dont waste ur money on this Uni.. Go for Uni of Sunderland London Campus..which wouod cost you almost the same fee..but its a better Uni..ai am repeating dont waste your money on Glynder..its London campus comprises of 4 rooms..!

I bet you wont even able to earn your room rent in London on student visa. That golden era has gone sometime ago dear. Plus Glyndwr degrees has no value at all either in UK or Pakistan.
