Hello House!

As we approach application duration or period, I commit our endeavours in God's hands. God that gave us the wisdom to locate Norway as a preferred destination for our postgraduate studies - will also level and make us overcome all challenges(financial and emotional) we may encounter IJN,Amen!!

The time is Now! Let's start preparing our docs. Let's keep the thread and vibe going. We shall get there!

Good talk Arinze. The time to start preparing is now. Work on your letter of Motivation, write your English test if you need to increase your chances of application. Lay hold on your student's copy Transcript to enable you fashion how best to work on your motivation letter. Just know that the time to start is actually now. Cheers.

Please I am very interested in studying in Norway but this www.studyinnorway.com is not loading I would appreciate if you could send me your email or Cell number ,Thank you

Please go through the thread. I am pleading because I know it will be to your benefit. I work every day and hardly have time for personal use, yet I have read this thread more than 5 times from page 1 to End. It's this sacrifice that shows how eager and willing you are to get what you want. All the information i needed were right here on this thread. Some were hidden as far back as 2016. please read and read and read the thread all over. You will thank me later. Cheers

Hi guys,
I want to find out if there are Nigerians at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. I have been granted admission there and I hope to hook up with any Nigerian over there when I arrive. My campus is in Haugesund.

congratulations bro. Have you applied for your study permit?

Uchboggy:
so sorry I haven’t been on Nairaland in a while , I just saw your message , if you still need to ask me something kindly resent the pm

Good day bro, please I sent you a PM. Kindly reply. Going to study same program you did @ USN.

Easternheart:
Hello guys,

I will like to confirm if we need reference letters for the admission applications?

Thanks!

No you don't. I didn't use any when I applied last year.

Arinze01:


Impressive! Congrats on your admission and stepping to a new level!!

With the covid-19 pandemic all country experiences, what has your school put in place vis-a-vis to resumption of 2020 academic session for international students?

Also,I understand one have to show a sum of #5m during the application process, if my sponsor at the moment has in his account #3m,is it possible to still get the admission letter. I still know I have to transfer #5m but during the application process can I show #3m.

Hope u understand the question?

sorry for the late response. Please I would advise against that. Make sure the funds are complete and even in excess if possible. When it comes to finances, they can be very strict. My school is going to run a digital section for this semester. On campus classes are expected to resume by January 2021. Travelling to Norway or staying back in your home country for the digital semester is the student's choice. That's the current stance of USN.

@Arinze01. Process Technology. USN. Autumn 2020 Set.

You are really doing a great Job. Keep it up. I hope to be of help as much as possible when the need arises. Cheers bro. Please just to clarify, I am not in Norway just a prospective 2020/2021 Student.

Arinze01:
I have read this thread from the first page to the last page and also independently researched on most schools in Norway via websites, mails,Youtube videos and others. I can also offer my #1.
Majority of all schools requires Nigerians to send the under listed docs;
1) Transcript of records ( an original uploaded one and also the one send by your previous school to the intended school). Watermarked student copy won't be accepted,UiS told me that.

2)Diploma/Certificate ( all meaning the same)

3)CV

4)Waec/Neco Results. Or Waec scratch card(Nord Univ requested this) all as proof of English Proficiency and some need it to show as an evidence for o'levels

5) International Passport showing all ur details and photo.

6)An Enclosure form ( though its on their website,fill,sign,scan and upload it to them.

7)Documents of financing (2019/2020 session were asked to provided 121,220 Noks,though it might increase for 2021/2022(it basically covers ur wellbeing for a yr including accommodation but still hold more)

The aforementioned ones are the primary ones, the secondary ones demanded by some are;

GRe/GMAT ( NHH and Bi Norwegian demanded it)

9) motivational letter or statement of purpose ( some art courses requested for it.

10) ielts/TOEFL ( some private univ demanded it)


10) Online dance video( some dance programs asked for it).

That's all. The Herculean task is raising the 121,220 Noks . God will see us through, Amen!!

Your yearly blocked account money I guess. That's about 5million naira

Soleye24:


how much do I need to budget to run a master degree in norway?

I believe Johnkoping should be in Sweden not Norway. Stand to be corrected though

Paramedickelvin:
Jonkoping University

Applications are done online through soknadsweb. You will have to check the individual universities website to know the requirements. You will also have to send across your Transcript directly from your university here in Nigeria and for a school like USN, you will need ETS to send across your English language score as it's compulsory for all applicants from Nigeria. It's actually very straightforward. Hope this helps.

Voy:
Hi Aragon1 can u brief me on the process and procedure of applying for a school in Norway? My younger bro really needs this info; Would appreciate ur response... If u can share a numb I can reach u on, I won’t hesitate to call, thanks

Thanks for your response

StarFlux:

Thank you!

Honestly, I can't imagine this having any effect at all on the study permit. You have nothing to worry about from my understanding of the situation.

All the best,

I know Universities in Norway mostly Offer Free tuition Programs for International Students so I don't think the scholarship stuff is applicable for study here. Living Expenses though are catered for by the student through a blocked acct system. Check well online and you will get answers to the second question you asked.

fatsonm:



Answers please

Not yet. Hopefully by next month.

Jubrilx3:







Is the VFS currently open?

My University(USN) and my Department(Process Tech) has decided that the fall semester will be online but still encourages international students to apply for their study permit quickly, I want to know if this will affect our chances of getting the permit. My reasons for asking is that they have sent us letters we should attach while applying for the permit, stating that the classes for fall will be done online but that students are expected to report to campus before January 15th or lose their admission offer completely. I just want to know the effect this will have on our applications for the study permit. Just your humble opinion. Thanks. And it's been quite a long time. Great having you back online.

StarFlux:
If you want to apply, then you should start very early. Deadline is December for the fall semester (starting august). You should start already now and get all the papers sorted for when the application portal opens. It's much easier this way and less stressful for you.

Norway is one of the safest places to be right now.

Not yet. Till month end/first week in May

Augustofficialx:
Has anyone gotten admission from NTNU?

Nope they said till Month end/first week in May.

No you can't. Your best hope is a Bsc but most are not taught in English medium and the Norwegian Embassy does not grant visas to Nigerians coming for Bsc in Norway.

[quote author=Kunilefo post=88166548][/quote]
Process Technology and you?

Skymoore1004:
Does this uni accept 2:2?

I have a 2.1 and can't really say but I know with a cgpa above 3.3/5.0 one should have a very good chance of getting admission.

Skymoore1004:
Sorry does blocked account guarantee visa? I heard that if they are not satisfied with your job history or financial status they can still deny you/ please do you know?

I really have no knowledge of this.

Kunilefo:
Hi I just got offer of admission from uni south eastern Norway anyone here school there

I also got same offer. Just accepted it this morning.

nuggybabe:


Guy, I am telling u based on my experience. For them to give u admission they will need IELTS. I tried to dodge it but it wasn't possible

Please can you share your experience with us. Which University and course. Thanks

asphil:
Thank you for your timely response. May God's blessings abide with you. But please I need to ask again, without IELTS, they will treat my application if I forward my transcript to them. Or I apply now and later go for IELTS? Thanks again as I anticipate your response.

You don't need it bro. Just forward your application they will treat it and give you admission if you meet the academic requirements by the university. You do not need Any English language exam if you studied in Nigeria.

asphil:
I wanted to apply for Msc program in one of the schools but just discovered one of the requirements is IELTS which I don't have. Considering the timeframe, what do I do?

If you studied in Nigeria, you don't need it. Please take note. Your Waec/Neco and Bsc has taken Care of that. Go ahead and apply abeg

@all we need to also talk on this page. This is for future purposes. Many years later, someone can gain loads of information from what is said here as well. The group is good but then let's also keep this thread alive. This is just my humble opinion though. Any challenges with the application process? We can discuss it and get it solved. Thanks

Mrtrypes:
Hello, has anyone been able to apply courses for summer yet? Uni assist says study phase hasn’t started

Good day bro, Just check well. Go through the uniassist site very well and check all the schools there. Some are actually open for application. I submitted for two schools and have received a response from uniassist as regards one of them. They have forwarded to the school for final decision for summer 2020. The second school is still under processing. Like I said do a detailed check and you did be surprised. The schools I applied to are South Westphalia university of applied sciences and Emden/Leer university. You can also submit your documents to TU Bergakademie freiberg as they are also collecting hard copies for summer. I hope this information is helpful to someone.

Yekpa!!
Chaii, another blow after the BA increment and removal of 2.2 from Category A. They are making things really tough now and the changes are coming too fast... Soon they might make AL a prerequisite for booking AD. God help us.

Dlimitbreaker:
....


No that not true.. I renewed my passport in Osogbo and it did not show my old passport number... And i used it for my interview... Its only lagos... Abuja and portharcourt immigration office that issues intergrated passport..which shows ur old PS number and the new PS number on a new passport, All other office outside dis 3 will give u a new passport with a new number and it wont show the old number. To confirm this tweet @nigimmigration u will get a response and as for the person with this issue u can even inform them ,i can assure u ,ur issue will b sorted out speedily..

I don't totally agree with you on this o. I renewed in 2017 @ Awka immigration office in Anambra state and it was carrying my old passport number.

benjamin139:

Thanks.
