Oga starflux and niyogeol, who is the motivation letter addressed to?

Please is it different for each school?

I didn't address mine to any one. I did mine like an article titled 'Personal Statement For Graduate Studies'.

Wow!! haven't thought of that. thanks sir.

@sunks

It is extremely difficult for a black man without knowledge of the Norge language to get a job in the northern areas of Norway especially a place like Bodo, the only jobs you can do there is newspaper delivery, which means you have to come with an international driver's license, and also buy a car, cars are not expensive here anyway. Its also a very cold, windy, boring and a lonely place, as there are very few Nigerians there and small black community. The Norwegians there are very unfriendly when it comes to mixing up with foreigners. But the school is nice. I have already left the town after completing my programme, I live in Oslo at the moment. Most foreign students I know like the Nepalese, I and another Nigerian, moved to Oslo to work after spending just a year there, So I completed my programme in Bodo from Oslo. good luck

pls I need more information on how to further my education in Norway.....am HND graduate in one of these fed poly am programs will I do before I can do my master.
2. I read online that there are tuition free university in Norway how can international student partake in it ...looking forward to read from you soon

I intend on studying Biotechnology, Masters level at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Anyone doing biotech in norway already with good advice or a better school to pick. Thanks

StarFlux:

What kind of visa?

All the information you need should be here: http://www.udi.no/templates/tema.aspx?id=4477
But I'm willing to help you past that if needed

@starflux. please I need more information how to further my studies in Norway ...I have HND in mechanical engineering please I need more information looking forward to read from u

StarFlux:
Not sure. I do know that ideally you'll need a B average from your master’s to be considered (at least in some institutions), but beyond that I only know that the project outline (as always I guess) is extremely important. Having some publications doesn't hurt either.

I have read the thread and I still need more clarification base on the question I ask early on

your questions are too vague. I believe the process has already been broken down here. which part has you confused?

Earthling:
Hi guys, It feels good to be part of this forum. I just moved to Oslo, Norway & I recently work and live there. Are there Nigerians in Oslo? Nigerians in the house who live in Oslo please make yourselves known. It seems there's a deep resentment for Nigerians in this country. Do you guys also think so?

planning to com over dere, Hw easy is it to get a job

Good day I wrote my waec in 2014 with six distinctions(A and B) and ive wanted to study out of Nigeria though i wrote this year Jamb and I had above 250 I want someone to please direct me on how to go about it and also an institution with scholarship I can apply for or if there's a means of working while I'm there to make up Thanks

Good evening all and happy holiday. I pray all our heart desire comes to pass.

please can anyone here explain the ECTS system. For instance, a course requires an applicant to have obtained 75 ECTS credits in physics. How can this be converted to the Nigerian scale of course units.

cc. Starflux, Niyogeol

portable300:
I also got an offer of admission from UIT. I haven't confirmed the offer yet because I'm waiting for other schools I applied to, but if I will be going to tromso, I'm glad I won't be the only Nigerian for this session there. I will need a female roommate please if anyone knows someone that will need too because their accommodation is very expensive.

Please is it possible I confirm two schools? not that if I should confirm one, I won't be able to confirm another one even though I prefer it to the first one and is there anyone on this thread that can share information about the school apart from the one on their website? If yes, please do, I will be grateful.

In some schools IELTS is compulsory at least I've confirmed from UIO for the 2018/19 set, I dunno about ntnu and I'll advice you send an email to the school if you're not clear on their academic or language requirement.

As to which is better, it depends on what you want

Hi.
I was also admission yo UiT. My campus is at Narvik.
I'm yet to pay for residence permit fees. How did you go about making your payment?

philoxy4:


Thanks @Bandeco

You're right bro @Bandeco. I've been very busy.Congrats to those that were granted residence permit this year.

Elizabethoni:


thanks

Had a lot of time lately so here goes for everyone:

1. NTNU says: "A bachelor degree where the language of instruction is English from the following countries: Botswana, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Jamaica, Gambia, Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Swaziland, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe".


2. UiT and UiS make use of the GSU list so go to http://www.nokut.no/en/Facts-and-statistics/Surveys-and-databases/GSU-list/ and search for nigeria. we're marked "nei' (no), same with other english speaking countries like U.S.A.

The lady was right about oslo though, they changed their english requirement to 'Yes" for nigeria.

anyone here who has gotten in touch with the schools personally on this issue can please shed more light.

Bandeco:

First Norway, Sweden and Denmark does not speak the same language. They speak Norwegian, Swedish and Danish respectively. Danish is quite dissimilar to the rest two. In another vein to work in Sweden or Denmark, you need their respective work permits. Getting work permit in any of these countries will be tough especially since ur academic/work background is not among the highly sought out profession. But I don't rule anything out. With luck on u you can achieve anything. If I may advice, I will tell you to follow the path of academia. Finish ur masters, do ur PhD and become a lecturer/professor in any of these countries including USA on African studies and literature. It is quite easy!!

And so sorry to say ur BSc in international studies and history cannot get u a Danish work permit in their temporary workers scheme. To be eligible to apply you must be a nurse, engineer, doctors, electrician, plumber and other skilled profession. You also need some work experience in ur field.

Really? Finland ranks as one of the best educational system in the world. Their certificate is recognized in every country. Yes, accept the admission sharpaly (except you just don't want to study there). Yes, Finland grants post study work permit to international students but their economy now is in dire strait. So jobs are few.

Norway is one of the richest and most prosperous countries in the world. They have great economy with oil exploration and export being the major strength of the economy. Unemployment is one of the lowest in Europe but finding part work can be a bit tough. More so, when you don't speak Norwegian. That is why UDI ensures that ur financial security is in place before giving you permit to come and study in Norway

To be granted Norwegian study permit you MUST post the sum of about NOK100,000(about N2. 4million ) to a Norwegian bank account opened for you by ur school. You can only avoid this if you are on scholarship. Some schools do give out free accommodation to lucky students that applied early.

About ur last paragraph, I have nothing to say. You have a fantastic CGPA look towards other like Canada, Germany etc that permits easy transition from study permit to work permit. Canada will be a fantastic destination. No language barrier, multicultural, diverse and immigrant-friendly country. Don't waste your CGPA man. Apply for scholarships aggressively. You stand a good chance.
Tack tack

please if Norway visa is not approved will the money be refunded back

I am bored, here goes:

Undergraduate studies are mostly taught in Norwegian. Only way in is to register for a Norwegian course and pass the exam before he is considered for undergraduate study.

problem: you have to be a resident to apply for said language course.
