Hello everyone, I've really been seeking out a foreign school where I can apply for my MSc with low cost tuition and I found one but they've asked me to pay 1300euro before I even get an admission/acceptance letter. Nigerians studying in Portugal, please I need your contribution. I'll post the mail they sent me. The school is Polytechnic Institute of Braganca (IPB).

Dear Student,
I inform you about the IPB master program:

Foreign students who wish to enroll in a Master programme at the IPB should have completed a degree in a 1st cycle course, organized according to the principles of Bologna Process, or have a degree recognized as an undergraduate course by the Scientific Council of the higher education institution that bestows the degree.
The application process step by step

• Curriculum Vitae in English, Spanish or French;

The documents should be sent to the International Relations Office:

E-mail: natalia@ipb.pt
2nd step - Payment of emoluments
The emoluments for the admission process are 1.300,00 EUR, you need to pay this value when you formalize the application and send me the documents, and this value is non-refundable.
Only after the payment of this fee the process will be considered for analysis. The International Relations Office (IRO) will send you all the details concerning the bank transfer.

It is recommended that students acquire previous knowledge of all the conditions and coverage foreseen in Portugal. Also, you should present your Individual health bulletin with regularized anti-tetanus vaccine at your arrival at the IPB.
The IPB can’t provide accommodation for international students in the students’ residences. Nevertheless, the International Office can help you finding housing. Please contact us via email (natalia@ipb.pt).

Did you read through it all? It's not school fee brother and too exorbitant to be called an application fee. If my application process is to be considered I must pay that sum and it's nonrefundable.

if u can't afford it u choose another school na.. Is it such a difficult thing to decide on?

oga find another school o

It's easy to say. How do I find a school that charges roughly 1000euro for school fee per year and doesn't require a TOEFL or some kinda certification to be enrolled. I just assume it's risky to pay 1300euros upfront before getting an admission. I'd have gladly paid the amount if it were to be paid after admission letter.

Everyone wants to Jand by force
