[QUOTE="Momo, post: 140803, member: 26089"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] i d like to ask for your opinion on this. Im an international student pursuing my LLM in the UK currently and I will be completing my LLM in June 2023. I will be converting to the 2 years post graduate visa in hopes of securing a VS or TC. I do have family members staying in London so i will be staying with them during the period. The issue is I am interested in applying for a business associate program that is 9 months long in the Middle East. It consists of academic courses explaining fundamentals of business and consulting and also work placement with a few of the well-known companies in the Middle East. This program starts in September 2023 and ends in June 2024. After contacting previous candidates, they mentioned the 9 months program is intensed leaving not much free time to do other activities. So this will clearly put me out of the next application cycle for VS. Furthermore even if I secure a VS in the UK or Middle East itself, i wont be able to attend it as there is only 1 week holiday for this program. i am conflicted whether I should apply for this program because I dont want to miss out on securing a VS during the next application cycle since my end goal is to secure a TC. At the same time, this program provides valuable work experience esp in the business sector, which I feel i may be lacking in my CV. Currently, my work experience consists of 4 internships all in a foreign country where i did my LLB (4 months at an MNC legal department, 3 months at a law firm, 2 weeks mini-pupilage and 1 month at a bank). So i was wondering whether I should still apply for this business associate program or stay in the UK and work other part time jobs until I secure a VS. Thank you in advance, and sorry for the long explanation. Wanted to give some context to the issue. [/QUOTE]
