With however many and no matter, it might come down to a matter of preference or how the sentence sounds. I personally use however many in a positive sentence (I'm gonna win the award, however many times I have to try) and no matter in a negative sentence (I'm gonna fail this exam, no matter how many times I try).
:):)
i.e. "provided that you want to make your career secure" = I think that you want to make your career secure, so I will talk about this
i.e. "providing that you want to make your career secure" = I'm not sure if you want to make your career secure, but if you do then I will talk about this.
So..
Basically, the word "provide" means to give, usually information.
provided = you have given me information
providing = if you give me information
Hope that makes sense.
British universities will accept students from abroad as long as they have good English score.*Since you want to talk about British universities in general you have to use the plural form because there is more than one university in Britain. When you mention students again you can use the pronoun form rather than repeating the same long phrase to describe them. I would say score rather than levels. If you use the word level, it should not be plural.
Working for a large company can be a fulfilling experience providing that you want to make your career secure.*Actually the two parts of the sentences have no correlation, so while the "if" sentence structure is correct the sentence does not actually make sense. Better sentence would be: Working for a large company can be a fulfilling experience providing (provided) that the company allows you to grow. There is no difference between "provided that" and "providing that" both can be used in a sentence interchangeably. With the conjunction "provided that" or "providing that" you can actually omit the word "that."
Most banks are happy to lend customers money unless they (customers) have complaints about the high interest rates.*In this case, they is unclear as to who it is referring to (banks or customers) so it is better to go with the noun rather than the pronoun. You need the article the since you are talking about specific noun.
The environmental situation will continue to worsen no matter how much effort you put in.*Make is the wrong verb. Either "put in" or "apply" are the correct verbs for this sentence.
There will always be long waiting lists at our hospitals no matter how efficiently we run our systems.
