@PgrResearcher

Senior PhD supervisor. Using my experience of over 11 years abroad and valuable research to help you move abroad. Consultations/collabs- [email protected]

England, United Kingdom
Joined March 2013
April 2020 till 2023, about 17,000 people applied for the Global Talent Visa, 5,000 applicants were rejected. I observed some common mistakes people were making that became a pattern. Now that the UK government has decided to allow creatives apply, I decided to write a guide to help people through this entire application, so that the same mistakes don't repeat themselves. Here's the guide nestuge.com/3lzjiqhus Feel free to reach out to me for any clarity after digesting.
I have reviewed Global Talent Visa applications as a referee. Most rejections I saw were avoidable. Not because the candidates were weak but because nobody taught them how to make the case for themselves. I wrote the guide. The visa is not just for PhDs or professors. It is for nurses, NGO founders, educators, public health professionals, journalists, Creatives, Designers — anyone with sustained, evidenced impact. My new guide walks you through everything: the two pathways, the evidence framework, the personal narrative, and the exact questions most applicants never think to answer. ⚠️ Deadline is Early July. Do not sit on this. Available on Nestuge now nestuge.com/3lzjiqhus

A PhD applicant who was already running a PhD programme in another country got denied of a scholarship because they made a supervisory statement that was considered bad by the examiners. So in my opinion and from experience, even if you've not had the best experience with your supervisor, do not let that be the reason you give the examiners for choosing their school.

You could simply say for instance, I didn't think the topic I was working on was able to profer a solution to real-time problems and you saw their offer as one that would benefit you with regards to that, in short, they have what you've been looking for.

Who would have thought that UK educational system would be threateneed and have to resort to reducing their criteria. A++ Schools are reducing their criteria to B+, which is a good sign for international students.  If you're an international student who's been looking for an opportunity to further your education, this is your chance to do so.  Use the link below to speak with me on your application processes: nestuge.com/_7axdrfqy

If you're using a Skilled Worker Route make sure you check with the organization and ensure they meet the government-approved salary benchmark, so you won't be applying through this route in vain.

Don't copy personal statements that worked for someone else, instead, open with a moment, not I have always been passionate about.... Answer why this course, why this school, why now and why you. Retweet for someone drafting theirs this week. #personalstatement #studyabroad

Some UK schools want your financial statement before CAS, not after. If you're waiting until CAS stage to sort your finances, you may already be behind. Know your school's specific requirement early.
