The fact that your mechanic can write the part names properly means you went to a modern workshop.

If you do not like the quote, get another.

Lol!! Actually, it's not mine. I'm helping a work colleague out. He's kinda naive to the car world so he had to go to a modern car-workshop to avoid complications.

What are JD of the two offers? Is the Lydia job a marketing job? I know it is a Fintech anyway and what about the lekki gardens? Furnish us with this and we can advice better.

They're both marketing but not fixed on commission. We are paid salaries.

Hi Nairalanders!

I recently got job offers from 2 different companies. I'm to resume next month for the both.

Location ; Lydia is at V.I and Lekki is at Banana Island.

Remuneration: Lekki Gardens pays higher a little.


What do anyone know about Lydia Investment Ltd?

I have searched for employees' reviews. Sadly, didn't see any.


Help me out!

ditha:
Hi

You can apply to as many as possible

Okay, I get..

Hope it won't have any effect on the previous one cos I'm scared to apply for another MasterCard scholarship.

ditha:
Go ahead

Hello House!

Trust our day is going peachy.

I'm a 1st class graduate from the University of Lagos ( 2019 graduate).

I write vis-à-vis MasterCard foundation scholarship. I currently submitted my application for University of Edinburgh MasterCard foundation scholarship, pls can I also apply for UBC MasterCard scholarship? Will it have an effect on University of Edinburgh?

Hence, to widen my options and make me competitive.

Thanks in anticipation!

Cheers!

Thecreatorx:
Ok everyone, I study Engineering at Rivers State University and we've been scheduled to resume academic activity on 5th of October, we are basically resuming straight to exam halls and right now I just feel so disorganized, I'm an above average Student within the 70-75% range, if I say I'm excellent then that will be a lie, I need to study very hard to get an A and sometimes I still end up with B's.

I have been studying from time to time at home but honestly I've forgotten a lot and this resumption news has just disoriented my calmness, I feel so tensed and scared. my cgpa now is 4.02 and I was planning to get a 5.00 this semester, I started very serious and was even a course rep but now all that motivation has died and I'm struggling to devote my self to reading, please you guys should help me, maybe tell me ur experiences and how you graduated with first class despite ur lack of motivation.
Yes first class is my goal, even if first class isn't everything, it's just a necessity cuz I'm the first born and my younger ones look up to me for motivation and my parents too trust me, but now I feel lost.

Please help

Hello!
I'm so-so amazed seeing my name.

I understand your plights cos we all passed this route you're threading.

Foremost, Losing motivation is wrong bcus you've a goal and your goal is definite,to excel each semester - and the way you can excel and beat fear is by Reading and practising with diligence. Be dedicated and devoted to your goal that way you've re-ignited your zeal.


Towards exam season,we all feel tensed up and pressured, but your confidence should increase more. When you're confident of your self,then you can prevail. Remember you're working towards a goal which is to excel every semester(forget about the 1st class for now,just read to excel each semester and surprisingly, you might make a first class)

Read and make sure you ask yourself questions after reading. As time goes on,you'd be confident.


See you at the top!

Cheers!

amaka157:
Yeah ...i did apply, got admitted... But the çorona messed things up.. I also gave birth.... So everything got mixed up.. I will be going to Norway soon tho as my family reunification was approved after years of application... Norway is a tough bite.. thank God for his mercies and kindness.. onsker dere lykke til...

Oh!
Congrats on your birth delivery!

BlaqScarface:
you guys that plan to travel, where are you seeing thid 5million to hold in your account? , will that sustainability money guarantee your admission?

Lol. It's not that we are that-rich. We are just trying to secure a better,saner life for us,kids and family which is lacking in our dear country. The block sum is worrisome tbh but it doesn't get better(in Nigeria tho) and it doesn't get lesser(the block sum). We are just keeping our feet on the pedal trying to make our 1+1=2 and surely we shall achieve it..

And Yes! The money is okay for one's sustainability though it's subjective but a prudent spender should be able to. A breakdown of the yearly expenses indicated on the website showed it should be more than enough for a prudent spender.


The block account is not only the requirement for an admission. There are other factors/requirements in place too but to me it's the most herculean of the requirements.

amaka157:
Am considering applying this fall, not decided yet

You were much active by this time last yr.

Did you apply last year and prolly due to the pandemic and then the school made drastic changes to your program?

amaka157:
Hmm... Sorry about the mix up tho...tot you were amongst those that got admitted early this year but were not able go until next year... Anyways, lykke til..

No wahala.
Are you in Norway? Or applying this fall too?

amaka157:
Hey Arinze, tot you have been admitted already from last year? Don't know if am getting it mixed tho...

Lol No No o. I dey Naija o.
I'm a Prospective Student. I just have strong info on Norway admission and visa processes. Got some here,got some through research.

StarFlux:
I believe Nigeria now uses a 4-point scale, while Norway still uses the same 6-point scale.

Tech jobs are fairly easy to get from my understanding of the labor market.

GRACE is the Alpha and Omega. All these job opportunities/no job opportunities doesn't move me. The 2 major nuggets are:
1) pray for Grace
2) NETWORK
Then understanding of the language(this is minor).
The aforementioned nuggets have been pivotal to me.
I graduated last yr December, I got a Graduate Data Analyst job by January 2nd at V.I.
I don't play with networking and God's Grace..


We shall all make it!

Easternheart:
Yeah, I did. I emailed the school, so they said scratch card is fine to check the result online. No need of mailing hard copy to them in Norway.

Ok,Perfect!
That was my school instructed too. UiA and Nord University..

What's yours??

Easternheart:
Thanks the info.

No lele!
How did you go about the WAEC scratch card confusion?
Hope you got what you were looking for?

Easternheart:
I saw this Norway travel regulations on the Air Emirate website. I just hope things get normal by next year so that Norway will accept international students.

Exemptions were made to those laws. International students are free to come ..It was stated.

trinityconcept:
Nawao but please o for those that have gotten have u seen anyone admitted with a cgpa below 3.3

I didn't see,but I read it here. Someone gave a testimony on how he got accepted with a low cgpa...

Give ur shots

CuteTj:
@ Arinze01

Calm down. Do not be deceived!!

Thats not the final statistics for 2020. How can just 8 people apply out of the usual number of thousands??

Year 2020 final statistics will be updated in November. In the mean time, work with the years preceeding 2020.

I for say lol. Okay

CuteTj:
@ Dumebi213, Arinze01 and fellow prospective applicants. Check the statistics for higher education in Norway including the number of applicants for your interested courses, number of people offered admission and other statistics at https://dbh.nsd.uib.no/ (use on chrome browser so it can be translated to english)
,ope this valuable information helps you have an idea of the acceptance rate of your interested courses.

Do not let the number of applicants and acceptance rate dampen your spirit. Also, do not forget that not everyone granted admission eventually accepts the admission therefore you definitely stand a chance in your choice course.

As Arinze01 earlier said, no one here has a say or can predict application outcome. Just apply to all schools that matches your bsc requirements and hope for the best. You should be amongst the lucky ones granted admission.

All the best guys...

Thanks for the link. Schools applications plummeted this year even mine was so so low compared to previous years... Take a look at NMBU business Dept,just 8 people applied.


My guess, it would be lower for year 2021(which is ours).let's apply and be positive

Morale high! God take control!!

Indescribable scenery!I Love nature and Norway has always been my dream destination for MSC studies and hopefully, I shall get there! Imagine studying in a place beautifully surrounded my nature( the glaciers, fjords, pulpit's rock,mountains,northern lights,midnight sun). Eww!The feeling would be exhilarating..

Norsk ,here I come!

danielinyang:
i want to study law in university of stavanger, the mode of instruction is norwegian but the university offers a on year norwegian language course so am waiting for 1january which is their application date, in the mean time am more concerned on the visa please how hard is it to get a visa ?
And how is stavanger, it hard to get part time job there?

You said earlier that you mailed their Embassy. Prolly wait for their response. I don't want to sound discouraging but from previous threads, they hardly give visa to Bsc applicants. Just chill for their reply. Most folks here are MSC applicants.

PS: UiS application opening date is Dec 1st- Jan 1st. Take note

Joohan:
Hello everyone.
I graduated with a 2.2 in Business administration.
My question is what are my chances in getting admission into Norway for MSc.

Thanks

What's ur Cgpa? Norwegian requires a minimum of "C" for their programmes..

danielinyang:
Alright thanks for info i sent their embassy a mail am waiting for reply

Madd o,una no get chills. Are u not the BSC guy?

@cutetj,abeg share that link wey dem dey take check Norway acceptance rate for boys. Tausen takks.

danielinyang:
Hello bosses please i want to ask if my sponsor must be from norway to get a student visa?
If not then do i need just a later from sponsor and bank statement?
and secondly i heard that if you have a part time job in norway that pays enough to take care of cost of living in norway you dont have to document proof of funds please i need your answers thanks

1) your sponsor can be anywhere,not necessarily Norway. A Nigerian ( uncle, aunt etc) can be your sponsor.

2)you need both a letter of sponsorship from your sponsor and your sponsor's bank statement.

3)in your 2nd year, you're to show a proof of fund like the way you did in your 1st year but you ain't blocking anything unlike the 1st year. A student job can sustain you in Norway if you live a prudent life.

For Public Health @ NTNU in 2018 - 491 people applied, 105 was offered admission, 75 accepted while only 60 met for the start of studies. In 2019 - 359 people applied, 55 was offered admission, 50 accepted while only 40 met for the start of studies.

For Global Health in 2018 - 431 people applied, 40 was offered admission, 35 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies. In 2019 - 537 people applied, 65 was offered admission, 40 accepted while only 25 met for the start of studies.

For Global Health @ University of Bergen in 2017 - 540 people applied, 55 was offered admission, 35 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies. In 2018 - 754 people applied, 60 was offered admission, 35 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies. In 2019 - 613 people applied, 70 was offered admission, 45 accepted while only 30 met for the start of studies.

For Biotechnology @ NTNU in 2017 - 251 people applied, 25 was offered admission, 15 accepted while only 15 met for the start of studies.

In 2019 - 438 people applied, 35 was offered admission, 25 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies.

@ Dumebi213 and Arinze01, Norway too has where you can check. The data is public knowledge.

Noted! What's the name of the website. I need to check mine. Thanks

Dumebi213:
Please how can one find out how competitive a course can be

.


For your programme or courses,there are number of students needed per course(like mine is 10,I have seen 15,the highest I've seen is 25 per specialization). Do the maths,10 students only would be accepted across all countries. From my analysis, I feel each continent is apportioned a quota. So imagine how competitive it would be, high number of individuals jostling for 10,25 slots due to its tuition free.

Like in Sweden, you could check how many people that applied for a course and the acceptance rate for the course,that I'm not sure of in Norway.


Don't let this deter you,be hopeful and tenacious!

Juoflife1:
I mean 'studyinnorway.no' didn't give me the information I was looking for.
'free-apply.com' did. I think that's another way to get info about schools in Norway like you said.
I searched studyinnorway.no for food and nutrition and got nothing. When I searched free-apply.com I got 6 schools offering the programme.

Wow!!I'm in a state of awe. I don't want to sound ignorant,hence I decided to check the stated website. It looks authentic. . I remember the saying" there are different ways to kill a bird"and you just showed us one. Did you ensure to check your preferred school website to see if truly their(free-apply) information is correct? I tried with my intended course,kinda different and cumbersome. Subjectively, I'll stick with the known,approved website..

If you're cool with it and you saw what u needed, no lele. All way na way!

Ensure to mail the school to get more information.

trinityconcept:
I did biochemistry first degree,
I want to apply for public health or global health

But if that will be very competitive I don't mind going for biotechnology or biochemistry msc.

No one here has a say or can predict application outcome. We only advise and guide. But if your undergraduate courses aligns with the intended MSC academic requirements and equals the needed ECTS, then you should apply.


My advise is to apply to all schools that matches your bsc requirements and hope for the best. You could be lucky - and note that high cgpa isn't the only determinant to being accepted for MSC studies in Norway. There are other considerations like ECTS requirements et al.

Aim for the moon(all) and if you miss you could be among the stars(receive admission to one or 2 perhaps).


Immense luck!!
