Those currently in Finland, it's important to also share your experience o. I have a guy there who has condemned the country so much. He said jobs are almost impossible to find yet things are so so expensive to buy especially now that the Naira is as valueless as the virginity of Nigerian girls these days. He's lowkey regretting his decision to go there. Of course there are ups and downs, don't get me wrong. He has simply criticized the job opportunities there, the discrimination. So, just try to let the European dream chasers know what they're coming to face. It's just a suggestion.

That is the reason why peeps are supposed to make enquiries and research before making such a major decision.
Jobs are difficult to get everywhere even for naija. Therefore I will advise anyone coming here to have a solid plan. What are your competencies, what do you want to do in future when you get here. The finnish language is essential for white collar jobs in small and medium sized companies. The big and some medium sized companies don't require working knowledge finnish. From my personal research and enquires guys in IT have a good chance of getting a good job, but u will be competing with them Indians and Pakistanis.

Part time Jackie jobs are quite easy to get in Tampere, I don't know about other cities. I know some guys that applied to some cleaning companies around October last year and started working some weeks ago.

Concerning discrimination.... most people don't understand that a high percentage of Finnish peeps start working as early as when they were 16 years old...summer jobs.... part time jobs etc. I learnt from my professor that they value all forms of experience as they believe that people with Finnish work experience are easy to deal and communicate with. So coming from naija we will be competing with guys that have 4 to 5 years working experience already, therefore one needs to know his/her onion. If you were an employer who will you employ?

In conclusion, I will advise guys arriving by August/September to come with enough cash o. Reduce spending as much as possible....2.60 euro student meals and home cooking should b ur thing... no go dey chow 6 to 10 euros fast food for Subway and MacD o.

Dear Applicant,
This is to confirm that we have now received your transcript of record from School of Post Graduate Studies.

I also sent another email asking if they have received the Hnd and Ond I sent via nipost but they have not replied. I am kind of worried seeing that the deadline is on 27th Jan. What do you think?

please has anyone's transcript got to the school after deadline and it was processed?

Hi Everyone, i am new here but i have been reading this thread for a while now. I have also just sent my transcripts and still awaiting confirmation too. feel free to ask questions on procedures. Thanks

mavinc4u:

and yes you can still send after the deadline cos there is a supplementary deadline to update your documents which is usually 2 weeks after the deadline for application.

You have to pay application fee to fill the form, print and send along with your documents. How did you manage to fill the form?

Really? I filled the form then I was sent both the application form and payment link. Check it on this https://studyinfo.fi/app/#!/korkeakoulu/1.2.246.562.17.36541415927

When it opens, scroll down and you will see fill in application and add to wish list. Please check and let me know if I am seeing double. Thanks.

I think it changed when applications for undergraduates begins, before you have to pay app fees first before filling the form but now it's the other way round.

No you are not seeing double, that's how it is.

Hope you also know that once you pay, you can apply for as many courses as possible starting at the same period. The link you sent, i can open it cos i have already paid. But if you didnt pay at all, then its quite surprising to me. Please make sure you pay to avoid any of their stories in the end.

i think that things works only for undergraduate application. i have two gmail account. if i log into the other gmail account the studyinfo application portal wouldn't open unless i login with the gmail account i used in paying the application fee. "that thing na nonsense anybody can fill that stuff with someone else gmail account i doubt if they would be able to detect someone who didn't make the payment".

Lol

I don't think anybody can use your account that's why you are given application number moreover, if anybody does I doubt they will receive any message from UAF unless the person knows your gmail password.

Calm down. They probably have closed by the time your parcel arrived at the destination university; they'll deliver it tomorrow...
