hello house, been following this thread, I really need your help guys. I currently applied for the University of Oslo scholarship based masters program to study human rights but the problem is I'm scared of not getting it. Finished uni 3yrs ago, I'd have to spend approximately 70k for TOEFL plus passport money, all of which would be borrowed cash.
Experts in the house, what are my chances of getting the scholarship please? should I take the loan and write the exams and have faith? if I get the admission would it be worth it?
Can't find the scholarship that you mention.

But as always: scholarships are competitive, and there's no way of knowing your chances without info on yourself and the specifics of the scholarship. Claiming anything else would be deception pretty much. I assume you've considered your chances before applying, so I think that you can probably answer the question better than anyone on NL.

With that said, if you do believe you have reasonable chances, I'd say it's worth it. If you get the scholarship you have basically nothing to lose by going anyway. You get to see a new country and make new friends. I speak only for myself, but I've found that connecting with people from other parts of the world is quite elightening, especially in the context of education. Norway is a welcoming country too.

Norway doesn't recognize Polytechnic, you should have made research by just inputting in Google: List of Nigerian higher education institutions recognised by Norwegian universities, you'd have gotten an answer there before sending your docs. Or alternatively Google GSU List Norway and download the pdf

okay I didn't know this but the GSU list only states the specific requirements per country it doesn't list out the recognized institutions, anyways and the Google search has given me nothing so far. Thanks for the heads-up about polytechnics though I'll just wait and get my first degree here first.

The degrees that are accepted is what is shown in the GSU list. They can accept SSCE for undergrad courses but I don't know if there are Norweigian undergrad courses taught in English. That would have been the best bet. Anyways, goodluck

yes there are that's what I applied for but it's usually with a proof of one year of higher education study that was why I sent my OND transcript. Hence the rejection.

Nice course. From your stay, what have you discovered to be the criteria considered in their selection? What is the minimum GPA that would make one stand a chance for admission? I have applied 4 Nat Gas Tech.

When it comes to PhDs, most of the time you'll be a part of research fellowships which will grant you the needed funding and which equals employment. A PhD thus requires no funding out of your own pockets, at least not most of the time.

Many thanks sir for the response. Does it mean that I wouldn't be needing to provide proof (statement of account) of Nok 103950(approximately 4 million naira) which covers living costs to both the Norwegian school and embassy? No need answering this part my brother. Because, from my research, there wouldn't be any need for it since I will be on full scholarship and possibly offered a job as a research assistant or something close to it. Tanx again

And what if the undergraduate degree grade is below the mostly sort after B grade(second class lower) with the post graduate (masters) grade strong enough, will it affect my chances of being admitted?
Kind Regards

Me thinks they have decided to go back to how it was before. Notice they only gave one month for document upload.

They will probably decide on a CGP cutoff mark and invite those who scale through to send transcripts.

Good day everyone, please If someone graduates with a 2.1 (a 3.5). Would someone be kind enough to assist me with some of the questions I have to ask.
1. What are the chances of someone being accepted with that kind of CGPA?
2. Do I need to write GRE to gain admission to a school in Norway?
3. If someone isn't that buoyant, what are the chances of getting a scholarship that covers accommodation and feeding if one hasn't started working yet?
4. In the question above, if I'm to complete admission process from beginning to end (IELTS, GRE, Passport, etc), what's the range of amount I need to budget.
5. Do I need to finish NYSC before starting any applications


Please note I'm in 4th year, computer science in unilag and would be done next year (5 year course). I also want to apply for computer science.

I'm going to answer to the extent of my knowledge;
1. You can be admitted with a second class upper degree
2. No you don't, I think GRE is mostly for those going to the US for masters.
3. There are no such scholarships in Norway because the schools are already tuition free, you just have to provide your living expenses allowance which is currently about N4.7m
4. 150-200k because you need your official transcripts and Nigerian universities usually charge for that. You also need other funds for the running around.
5. Nope, you only need to have money for the living expenses.
