The new UK points-based immigration system

What is it? How will it affect me? What can I do? Who can help me? Is there still hope?

These are just some of the questions surrounding the new UK points-based immigration system. It has many question marks and is regarded by most as another hurdle in the UK immigration system for Nigerian students. For many this may just be the hurdle that causes their dreams to stumble and fall.

DegreeAngel UK can provide professional assistance to Nigerians seeking loans and other forms of assistance to study in UK (comment on this post with your contact details to find out more - comments are hidden for confidentiality). But here is a straightforward outline of what you need to hopefully help those who wish to help themselves also!

Here are the main hurdles you need to jump to get a student visa:
1. University acceptance letter (including the institution's sponsor number - they act as your sponsor and have to justify your acceptance - must be a fulltime course)
2. FULL University tuition fees (held in your account for at least 28 days before you apply)
3. FULL first year Maintenance fees (£600 per month for London and less for outside London - also in your account for a minimum 28 days)
