princetx: I don't really know much about PHD but I think with your MSC score + publication(s). It's fine. You can checkout these sites Findaphd and jobbnorge. Best of luck! |

Emia: Firstly, I'm not in Norway yet. Hopefully, I would be there late August max. For jobs, my friends studying in Norway have multiple student-jobs paying their bills. Let's go with a positive mindset that it will work out well for us by God's Grace! 2 Likes |

Precy102: Heisann Alle (Hello Everyone)! I will be attending to intelligent and researched questions about Norway. I started the application last fall (some schools start October, most November, few December and January). I applied to 3 schools (received 2 admissions) but deep down wanted my top priority school which I got - University of Stavanger. Let me talk about Universities' applications: Most Norge universities exempt Nigerians from submitting an English Proficiency test 'cept for University of Oslo and University of Southern Norway (the latter was the school that gave me a rejection though it was envisaged, I have no ielts or TOEFL). My advise is to go for the schools that exempt Nigerians from the ielts and TOEFL test, but, if you've it, it's a PLUS. For most schools, we are to courier our transcript to the host university. It's part of the application. The last is the block sum of NOk 126357 which we are to submit through a bank statement showing you've the sum + an accompanying sponsor's letter (for those that are being sponsored - like me). CGPA requirements: On their websites, they indicated the minimum requirement to be 2:1. In practical, that's not really the case. Norway and other EU countries use the ECTS arrangement which means if you studied English as an undergrad, you're to continue that way. You can't apply for an MSc. In Artificial Intelligence or msc. In Applied Finance and Analytics. Most people got a rejection because they acted funny. I know someone that studied Economics with a 2.94 that applied for an Msc. In Economics that got accepted likewise someone that got 2.74 in Philosophy that also got accepted for MSc. In related course. That's the secret, no CROSS-CARPETING lol This is all for the study application phase. The Waiting Period This is the period where we have to wait for feedbacks vis-à-vis our applications. The waiting period differs from schools and programmes. Some got admission in early February, some in early and late March, some April, extreme cases in May. After you've gotten an admission, the next step is to transfer the NOk 126,527 you presented during the application to the host school. We all used FORM A, getting official USD rate from the Central Bank. I'll advise everyone to use USD if in Nigeria as your transacting currency to avoid bogus conversion charges. After paying the sum and you've received a Confirmation of Deposit from the Host university, you immediately apply for your study visa + residence permit which comes with a Schengen sticker. Visa Process. Norge's visa process is pretty seamless, no long wait period, no interview except rare occasions, no calling on the phone to book an appointment or whatsoever. It's super fast - easy to get an appointment date and the documents to submit are readily available. Note: You receive your Nok 126,357 immediately you've gotten a Norwegian bank account and you receive all. It's not like others where you receive it monthly. So, one could do as he/she pleases with his/her received money. I think that's all. Ser du i norge (See you in Norway)! 22 Likes 4 Shares |

Ge0grapher: Oslo demands for ielts; if you've it, then no problem. Check this attached link for your perusal; https://www.studyinnorway.no/what-can-i-study?level=1&subject=23 |

VTJN: There's hope. Professional certs are not really asked. It depends on what the said school requested. As you said, the proposed MSC programme is akin to what he did as an undergrad. He should scale through. Someone that had a 2.95 cgpa got accepted last month. Baba dey JP now lol Tell him to apply to numerous schools. Skól! |

VTJN: Your cgpa is attractive. It will definitely fetch you admission offers. Apply for a course you did as an undergrad. God help us! 1 Like |

VTJN: If your school didn't request for ielts, you don't have to write ielts. I assume he gave the ielts advise just to make you more competitive in the admission process and have wider options. Above all, apply for an MSc course you did as an undergrad and be hopeful. |

seyipeters: Yeah, they do. This ongoing admission roll-out, someone with a 2.94 got an admission offer. Surprising? Yeah, you can say that again! The best bet is applying for what you did as an undergrad. Spread your applications and be hopeful!. 1 Like |

ikswiss: Nice-nice! But you lived in the Nordic region for 20 years comfortably, how come? Some people are using Norway as a first stop in their itinerary plans, and if Norway provides comfortability for one, the person will definitely stay. I know you wouldn't agree more. To sum up, destinies are different. We pray for grace. 4 Likes |

[quote author=ikswiss post=100380934]I should also mention that Finnish universities require tuition fees now I'm 100% aware. There are scholarships segmented into 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of tuition fees. Your bet should be 100%, thereby, documenting for only living allowances. If you get 75%, it's also fair. |

Ebdumi: Some schools (very few) close application portal by January. I think it depends on how fast your school processes results and how digital they're. If they're kinda fast like Unilag or some private universities, you can upload your student copy and make a swift preparation on how to parcel an official copy to the host university. I'll advise you write ielts, if possible, then you can spread your tentacles to Finland. Finland application comes up every January. 1 Like |

seyipeters: I think the conditions are different and country-related. If you're a UAE citizen, I think there's hope with reference to what I saw on the websites which I've attached. For a Nigerian, I even checked Ghana, it's the same condition. It's difficult to get a BSc study permit except rare circumstances. I've attached a weblink for your perusal. God help us! https://www.udi.no/en/want-to-apply/studies/studietillatelse/?c=nga#link-58

kashman411: I don't really know if HND holders are accepted, only if, you've incorporated to a bsc. You could probably email the school for accurate info. No visa for bsc application, dead that thought. |

dwilliams: Yes for the duo! During application, you present a statement of account, when given admission, you block (transfer) the funds you've presented. |
