Hello House,

I want to ask. Do I need to verify my BSc certificate, Waec, Transcript, birth cert. etc. at ministry of education/foreign affairs for Ireland study visa?

I read on their website that all documents must be attested. I am considering tge country for my Master's but I am not sure I can handle the stress.

No, its not required. However, clear photocopies of all credentials including your results, CV, Reference letters, passport pages of current and old passports etc must be submitted

Zealoy:

Apply to 2nd year programs in colleges or universities like ATU; TUS, DBS etc based on your budget of course.

Thanks

Not to the best of my knowledge. You will however need all your credentials , offer letter (inform your school ahead of your arrival date preferably), have proof of funds documentation in case of random check, proof of medical insurance and your temporary or permanent address in Ireland * this includes shortlets, School hostels , hotels etc. Keep all essential docs in your hand luggage.

Safe travels

Yes to both questions.

Hello , please I have two questions about studying in Ireland:

1.) Can a gift deed (of the 10,000£ POF requirement) be used as POF. Also is there a duration gift deed must have been made (e.g 3 months to the visa application).

In reality for my case I don't have living expenses issues cause I will be staying with an aunt who lives close to the uni. I have just my fee and 3k£ extra in personal savings account.

2.) Is an ielts compulsory for the embassy, if the university doesn't require one. And if I have a general ielts can this be submitted.

Thanks ....

I'm guessing they may start one by the MOD. I'm moving to other platforms - IG & linkedin

We emailed them on how to apply and cost of tuition for the program, and this was their response. So when I saw your post I decided to ask if the accommodation will still be available for next year 2024 intake

Dear Future International Student,

As we approach 2024, if you intend embarking on further studies please embrace intentionality and strategy in your course selections. In the vibrant academic landscape of the Republic of Ireland, some key disciplines stand out as promising avenues for professional growth.

Consider exploring courses in Nursing, Social work, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence for Business, Construction Project Management, Finance etc. These fields not only align with the evolving job market but also offer exciting prospects for global professionals.

However, it's crucial to exercise discernment when choosing a course path. In 2024, I advocate against exploring generalized courses such as International Business, Management, Law etc. Specialized courses, on the other hand, serve as a beacon, establishing you as an authority in your chosen field.
Remember, your academic journey is a strategic investment in your future. Choose wisely, focus on specialization, and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
Here's to a purposeful and successful academic pursuit in 2024!

Best regards,
Ibk-Blessing Oyewole

Souzin:
Honestly don't know what to title this thread.

Well, I never thought I'd japa any time soon from this country until recently.

The plan to japa was presented to me by my cousin, who will sponsor the entire thing but it has to be an affordable university < €10,000 for fees

Now, I have been trying to get Information on where one can go study for cheaps in Europe with less stringent visa application process.

Most the information/thread on Nairaland are either old or abandoned.

Please, I'd appreciate any information, especially from those who recently travelled or are in the process of travelling.

PS: UK is totally out of it.
I have a Bsc. Statistics - Second Class Lower
And looking to do a Master's in Data Science/Analytics

1. Republic of Ireland - Tuition from 9000 euros to 13,000 euros based on the Institution and your grade.(Post study work permit is 2 years automatic with possibility to extend for another 2 years leading to indefinite leave to remain (PR) after 4 years full-time work experience)

2.Canada have Colleges between 12,000 CAD and 13,000 CAD- Applications for such schools for September 2024 is closed and Jan 2025 is open (Post graduation work permit - 1 year for 8 months -12 months program and from 2 years to 3 for programs that last for 18 months - 3 years)

3. United States of America: Most American Institutions no longer ask for tuition payment before visa approval - you only pay after your visa is approved. Depending on the Institution, you will be required to present 90 days bank statement covering your 1st year tuition and living expenses. (Post study work permit- OPT ranges from 2 to 3years)

4. Estonia is affordable with fees between 5000 euros and 9000 euros - Post study work permit is 1 year* If you are excellently good at what you do, I've had students who got work sponsorship visa to work in Belgium and Hungary after grad as Data Analysts and Software Engineers (n.b: they dont have an embassy in Nigeria--- i stand to be corrected though)* students usually need to travel to Egypt , UK or US to apply

other European options including France mostly have 1year - 18 months post study work permit excluding the UK of course that has 2 years for Masters and Undergraduate students.
Language barrier is another constraint to consider when applying to European Countries.

100ongod:




Good day
Full fees paid
Sponsor is mother source rental yields
Source of fees is Property SALE,
Stunden balance 2 million sponsor balance 13millon
Annual income for sponsor 8 million
Sponsor has 3 properties worth combined 110 million

Property worth is necessarily not required for Ireland , just make sure the POF presented has a closing balance of 10,000 euros and additional funds for your sponsor. i usually advise 4000 euros extra - this should be okay for a 1 year masters program

100ongod:



Good day please like for proof of funds if the sponsor has 4 properties with 13million balance property net @100 million and student has 2 million ,rental income about 9 million per annum for sponsor.
Will it work??

Your fee payment status remains undisclosed, and we lack information regarding your sponsor's identity and the nature of your relationship with them. Equally, your sponsor's occupation, monthly income, and expenditures have not been disclosed. It's important to emphasize that visa guidance is personalized. Generic questions with limited information will not contribute effectively to your application.

Eculizumab:
Thanks, Please do i need to submit the bank statememt of the Euro account my tuition was paid from? Or Only the Bank statements of the account i intend to use to show the Cost of living

YES you do.

MatthiasChin:


So I should consider running my first degree in 9ja

Let me address a few important points:

Comprehensive guidance and consultation are typically personalized and tailored to individual circumstances. I am unable to provide meaningful guidance without essential information such as your academic background, current occupation, age, financial situation, and future goals. Public platforms like this one are designed to offer assistance to those who already possess a clear understanding of their path and need minimal support or advice. Therefore, due to the limited information available about your unique situation, I am unable to offer specific advice or recommendations regarding the best country for you at this moment.

I recommend conducting thorough research on the countries you are interested in. For instance, if you're considering Canada, visit the Canadian section and explore the resources available, ask questions, and engage with the community to gain insights. The same applies if you're considering Australia or any other destination. By actively seeking information and engaging with the relevant communities, you can make an informed decision to find the country that aligns with your individual needs and aspirations.

MatthiasChin:


Thank you ma..but how about canada if I'm able to pay the first tuition and process everything and get there can I be able to raise the next tuition from part time jobs because I intend running a 4 years bsc (LLB - Bachelor of Law) course there.

Canada in my opinion is worse- limited job opportunities when compared to the UK / USA.Students can only work 20 hours a week, with high cost of living globally its best you do not plan to pay fees from parttime jobs unless you want to breach visa rules

Eculizumab:
can one still apply after paying fees to resume in feb 2024?

No, it can only work for september 2024 / Jan 2025 intakes

The Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship is set to become available soon, offering the following benefits:
a full tuition fee waiver
and €10,000 for living expenses.

Eligible students must meet the following criteria:

be on the non-EU fee rate i.e be paying International student fee,
Have an offer for a 1-year taught Masters program
or 1st year PhD program for the 2024-25 academic year,
and come from a non-EU/non-EEA country.
The typical deadline for submission is in March 2024.

Eculizumab:
Have anybody submitted their application at VFS lagos lately? I heard at VFS Abuja, Original copies of documents are no longer required, How true?

No longer submitted at the VFS-only photocopies- i still advise going with them for sighting.

MatthiasChin:


Thanks for this... I read somewhere on the thread that the money one gets from working while studying can help them with rent and upkeep but can't be enough to pay tuition?

Please how true is this because I was thinking that when I pay the first tuition if I get on board I can be working to save up for the next tuition...

Clearify me on this.

True, reason why most Irish schools accept and prefer 100% tuition payment before visa application. With more International students requesting for asylum in the UK - they are also most likely heading towards 50% to 100% tuition payment before applying for study visas. Living expenses of 10,000 euros also apply per year excluding Tuition and from 15,000 euros if using a sponsor for a 1 year program * if your program will be longer than a year , more funds will be required as Proof

MTU-CORK Opens Application for September 2024 tomorrow.

They have tuition discounts ranging from 1500 euro to 3000 euros.

Other Entry Conditions apply*

You can't apply to NCI without an Agent. Contact your Agent and send an email to Michael if your Agent aint doing what they ought to do. I work with NCIRL BUT This is a relationship thing which I won't be getting myself involved in . My thoughts and prayers with you.

Navigating Job Opportunities: Prioritizing Skills Over Rankings

The question of whether attending a high-ranked university in Ireland guarantees job opportunities compared to medium-ranked colleges is a nuanced consideration. While high-ranked schools may attract prestige, it doesn't necessarily translate to better employment prospects for international students.

High-ranked universities often target Irish and EU nationals, leading to limited diversification in staff and support systems for international students. Opting for low-ranked schools isn't the solution either. Instead, the focus should be on selecting institutions that offer excellent courses, scrutinizing their curriculum, and prioritizing schools that provide robust support to all students, regardless of their background.

Smaller schools often boast diversified teams of staff and go the extra mile to ensure their students receive above-average support. This commitment frequently results in successful job placements, and satisfied students become valuable references for the school.

A case in point is the success stories from the National College of Ireland (NCI). Despite its lower tuition fees, students have secured impressive job opportunities, showcasing that skills and support often surpass the allure of high rankings. Conversely, even students from prestigious institutions like UCD, paying higher fees, may face challenges in landing professional roles.

The key takeaway is clear: prioritize skills over ratings. Whether you find yourself in Ireland or any other country, the critical factor in your educational journey should be the acquisition of valuable skills and the support system provided by the institution. Remember, it's not about the label but the substance of the education you receive.

In planning your academic path, consider schools that prioritize student success and offer the necessary tools and guidance for a prosperous career. Skills will always be the driving force behind your professional journey.

Hello Nairalanders,

I have this decision bothering me. I know it is a personal problem, but I believe everyone need some guidance at every point in life.

Straight to it, I have been considering Japa for over two years now and I think the opportunity might be here but I am having a cold feet.

I recently started working for a foreign company as a software engineer and the pay is decent when converted to Naira. Enough to live an averagely comfortable life. But my challenge now is that, I have been talking to some friends that are outside the country and they keep telling me how life is not easy there and cost of living is super expensive out there.

I currently earn $3000, which I plan to either save and travel or startup a business here in Nigeria. Please, Nairalanders with experience, is it worth japa to live an almost average life for almost the rest of your life or investing here in Nigeria and growing wealth?

The healthcare and quality education benefit is there as an advantage for japa though.

Thanks in advance for your responses!
