Thank you so much for this enlightening piece.

Yes, I have a strong passion for ICT. There is some kind of affinity between the two of us and I feel at home whenever am tackling/solving any computer-related issue/problem. Should have followed my passion back in the days but my parents wanted something else and their will then was stronger than mine. What doesn't kill a man only makes him stronger.

If I decide to go this route, hope age won't be a barrier ( am 25)? Hope the embassy won't be wondering what's up? Hope my WAEC of 2015 is still relevant and I can apply with it (What of NECO)?

Twale!

Do not waste your money on courier service. Normal nipost registered mail (400-650 naira depending on your location) will deliver your documents here within 14 days. I have used Nipost for more than 6 times with 100% success

Bro I'm in the same situation you are in o ! I am looking for a trusted courier service to use . I contacted UPS and to my greatest surprise dem tell me say na N14,500 to send transcripts shocked shocked shocked . Someone told me EMS / NIPOST registered mail service costs a little above N1,000 and that their service is very reliable and that the docs are delivered in about 7 days however I have my reservations concerning NIPOST. Anyway I would like to know if anyone here has used NIPOST / EMS to send docs and transcripts , if yes what was the service like?

Boss......no waste money except u have a strict deadline to meet. I used NIPOST registered mail throughout. Both for transcripts and other application docs. Except when they were on strike and had to use dhl twice costing me about 25k.

Nipost costs less than 1k and gets delivered within 14days. Sometimes faster. I only dont trust nipost for receiving documents. I never got my admission letter by post. But they are quite reliable for sending stuffs.

Cheers!

but the problem with nipost is that you can't track your documents, and you know how 9ija things use to be, some times they may get some kolo mental, before your document will get there it will take 4 months or even lost

Hi everyone , I hope this isn't a silly question its just that I don't know how the whole notarization thing works. Regarding the notarization , do I just walk into a high court (Ikeja high court for example)and ask them that I want to notarize my secondary school certificates ? Would I take the original or the photocopy, I actually plan to send my transcripts to 4 different schools (I was told multiple admission entries are allowed) so how much should I have on me ?
Re: Studying In Finland (free Tuition) by samyan12: 10:42am On Dec 04, 2014

Study in Finland shared the following link and had this to say about it:

Tuition fee discussion update & preliminary info on application fees (2016 ->wink

Since this has so far apparently only featured in Finnish-language news, here's a brief recap of a recent Helsingin Sanomat news story (http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/a1417576186654) regarding the recent governmental tuition fees suggestion www.studyinfinland.fi/tuitionfees

1) Tuition fee suggestion not likely to go forward

According to the news story, it seems unlikely that the current government would present the tuition fee bill to the Finnish Parliament after all. Basically this means that the plans to introduce tuition fees for non-EU/EEA students appear to be shelved, at least for now.

The Finnish student organisations SYL (university students) and SAMOK (UAS students) have already welcomed this "no tuition fees" news on their own websites (in Finnish only: SYL http:///1FXDbB0 and SAMOK http:///1CEXnJN)

We cannot of course know whether or not the fee issue would be on the agenda of the next government - governmental elections are forthcoming in Spring 2015 - this remains to be seen. But at least for now, it seems "game over" for the 2016 fee initiative.

2) Application fee from 2016

This is only briefly mentioned in the news story, but according to our preliminary information the new application fee would be:

* charged from the autumn 2016 entry application rounds onwards
* approximately 100 euros "per application round" - regardless of how many applications you submit during one semester
* not based on nationality but charged from *all* those applying with non-Finnish qualifications

The application fee payments would be administered by the Finnish National Board of Education (www.oph.fi) - so also in the future, on no account should you pay any "Finland application fees" to any agency or consultancy in your home country.

This is all we know of the application fee plans at the moment. Detailed info on the planned application fee will only be available later on, in 2015.

Stay tuned! smiley

Hi guys, what's this exam you guys are talking about again? Do you guys means if I am offered admission I have to go to Kenya to take a test before I am finally allowed to go to Finland?

That guys who says he has his language certificate already, how do you plan to send it to UAF? Because I know u probably didn't attach them for the result to be sent to them.

Also, do FuniMa charge processing fees? Thanks

u need int passport, IELTS toefl etc, then if eventually admitted you need 1.5 million in your account, but I fear you can still meet up cos msc application have already started.
