Hello nairalanders,
for applicants taking IELTS, just get to the nearest British council office for your textbook. TOEFL and IELTS serves the same purpose. Wish you all good luck.

Usually, Finnish ECTS = 26 - 27 hours of work load for 1 ECT. It means, if you have studied for 27 hours, you have achieved 1 ECT. In the case of using Nigerian qualification, the unit of your courses can be used as the number of ECTS you have completed. eg. Cost Account - 4 units (Nigerian qualification), it also means 4 ECTS. It is simple as that.
Re: Studying In Finland (free Tuition) by Nobody: 6:57pm On Dec 19, 2013
Thanks @Callygood; only that I don't understand their statement that 60 ECTS = 1 year study, so 4 years = abt 240 ECTS but my total credit units in school is 170 in total so I don't really know how to equate this to ECTS.

Hello all. Nice post. Thanks for the info. You guys have been helpful a lot. Id like to quit my banking job and go for Masters in software engineering or embedded design, most likely in Chalmers university in sweden. This is a summary of the steps I've outlined in doing this. Kindly help correct if I'm wrong cos my deductions were from my study of this post.
I choose a school in Europe either Finland Norway or Sweden . I write ielts since TOEFL has been cancelled in Nigeria.I must have a minimum of 1.5million in my account for residency permit. I must meet a score of 90/92 in my ielts as well. I must also be able to meet other conditions I'm yet to grasp.

My hopes are I'll be able to be earning small change while schooling as well, that racism won't be a serious issue there, language barrier will not hinder opportunities. Amongst others.

I don't know if my assertions are on point.
Thank you

Finnish universities expects an applicant to have completed 180 ECTS at bachelor' level before applying for master's programme. 170 units will not be accepted as equivalent of 180 ECTS. If you have completed any supplementary courses, you can add it to your 170 units to make up 180 ECTS.

Another option is to go back to the very beginning of your programme i.e. year 1. Calculate the hours you have spent on each course, both in class and outside class. Write a letter about this which can be attested by the university you have graduated. In Finland, the number of hours spent anywhere doing school assignments, projects or tasks can be regarded as hours of studies.

I'm not sure if this will work but only giving an option for you to try. You can seek better options from people who know more about Finnish application system.

Do not take Finland, Sweden and Norway to be the same. Each country has different immigration requirements for studies.

@callygood, Thanks bro for your reply; I actually didn't do the conversion, jst inputed my own university's credit units n didn't convert it to ECTS cos I ws confused abt how to go abt it. 4 example, my project work was 6units while projects in ECTS are mostly 30ECTS n above so I jst left it 4 dem 2 do d conversion demselves.
