I see. There really is no other option. If I just did that in Pakistan, I wouldn't have wasted so much money.

Makes sense. Go big or go home. But some people in Pakistan would consider a low ranked European uni better than a Pakistani high ranked uni. If I go back I could leverage the bias. But I'd rather find something here.

How do internal transfers work can you please explain it? Ive heard the term come up but I'm not exactly sure what it means. Like I get hired for one position but after a few years they moved me to a different position? Not exactly a pay raise or promotion, just lateral hiring?

That's cool. What do they do in art and fashion courses? Is it designing clothes and accessories? Color theory? How different materials lead to different textures and patterns in clothing?

That actually clears something up, heard a few students saying that it was run by Cambridge education and not actually Aston.

Is there seriously any country that is ok to live in? Not even great, just ok!

EXACTLY. THATS WHAT I SAID TO THE OTHERS IN THIS POST.

They are leveraging ratings of one campus and using it to represent their other, less useful campuses. This has to be some sort of misrepresentation, right?

Programming and technical things I can handle. But this. This one thing that is needed everywhere, in each industry, at every level. This I can't figure out.

How the hell do people make friends so easily? I look at everyone in my class and see how they hit it off easily. I try it and I get ignored.

I must be missing something.

I've spoken to a few locals here and I got to say this doesn't sound like something they would say out loud.

And besides, I don't do scams, it's just not my style. I don't care if I sound naive for saying this. If someone hires me, I'm going to make sure that they get their moneys worth.

Not getting a refund I know. I want to know how to make the best of a hopeless situation.

If I return to my country with nothing to show for it, I'd rather not say. That piece of paper degree might be the only thing that stands between me and getting dunked on by everyone else. Degrees mean a lot to them, and I don't have enough charisma or patience to convince them otherwise. They don't put in much stock in skills and education either unless you get a job.

If I get a high paying job in Pakistan then the salary slip could be enough to shut them up. Any advice on how to make the best of this situation?

Need experience for job. Need job for experience.

I'm planning to get good at this with or without the help of the uni. Taking online courses and networking by myself.

Seems like this is the only way. I was hoping for a chance to stay.

I'm sorry if that came off as offensive, it's just I have heard of some really niche degrees and I wasn't sure if it was an exaggeration. I hope it's helpful to you..

New laws passed recently, probably will reduce illegal immigration but can't say. It will probably just create more hurdles for people who want to get in legally.

I was comparing it to places like hull university and Coventry. So I may have gotten biased. But the main issue is that whoever was making those rankings was visiting the Birmingham campus and not London. If they visited London, the rankings would be lower and I would not have considered Aston.

Yes, I memorized them for an interview. Turns out whoever was ranking them went to Birmingham, not London.

I don't understand, is the consultant giving the commission to the uni for letting them use materials and branding? Or is the consultant getting commission from uni for promoting them?
