Nfest: I already got admission to Kobe Institute of Computing. If you have the millions for it then go ahead, if not just decline the admission and target national universities, if you're below 35 years you may secure some generous scholarships, go through the StudyinJapan portal as Mr Gerrard suggested 👍 |

AmEagle: --> If your Tuition fee per Year is 10,000 PLN and you're going for BSc. Ensure you have 10,000 PLN x 4 years = 40,000PLN cooling in your Sponsors Account. --> Include your 1 year Accomodation; Assuming your accomodation in a month is 800PLN. Then 800PLN x 12 months = 9600 PLN --> Include your feeding allowance too; assuming 300 PLN Monthly depending on you & your stomach infrastructural language. 300 x 12 =3600PLN
Total = 53,200 PLN
If your sponsor is still actively working and earns a salary; He/she can have 80% of the estimate and add his/her with supporting work documents. Many thanks, I'll go through the Polish website as advised. Please can I self sponsor? I don't need a sponsor. I'm going for Masters! |

Anyone that has a BSc should dust it and immigrate to Europe now that it's still possible. I don't think Europe will allow Nigerians in their countries 10 years to come. UAE displayed visionary leadership by banning Nigerians, Nigerians don't believe in law and order, worst now, Violence and Terrorism come join. |

Amgoodtogo: It depends. If you're going alone or with family. Iceland requires a minimum of ISK 240,000 per month. And that's around 2.9m to 3m naira. So if you calculate for 12 calendar months that's about 36m to 37m naira. In my case as at the time I was arranging my pof, the naira was really low I needed about 40m.
So to answer your question, you will need between 36m-40m give or take. Many thanks man |

uniqNurse: Hello everyone please I need help on this information, apart from UK, Cyprus, Turkey, Poland and Malta what other European country can one study abroad as an undergraduate within the age of 35-40, I have searched and I can’t get an answer so I’m genuinely looking for. Throw in the insults it’s fine I’m just looking for one helping answer. First of all no one will insult you, Naija is in a despicable state right now, so any legitimate japa move is welcome  Right now, Japa is all about affordability and visa success rate, they're some countries in Europe aside the ones you mentioned above that still makes sense for your profile like Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia & Romania. All these countries are in the Shenghen Zone and you can secure undergraduate admission regardless of your age but most of BSc courses are not English taught, meaning you'd have to learn the language of the country. |

I am a HND graduate too, I enrolled into National Open University of Nigeria last year and I was admitted into 300L, I'll be done by December so form next year I'll use my Bachelor Degree to look for admission in any school and country of my choice across the world. I'll advise you to do the same! Don't worry about your age, I believe I'm older than you, I'm 41 years old, so you see you have all the time 👍 |

OkanlawonB: Pls, while advising you should not undermine the role interrest, ability and passion plays in choosing a carrier path. People should not choose a carrier path based on the ease of securing a stay through a particular occupation. Nobody should force him or herself into an occupation he or she is not interrested in or have passion for, because you may even land yourself in trouble doing this. PLEASE!!! Leave Interest & Passion one side. The countries you're immigrating to are telling you that they prefer people with STEM backgrounds and you're talking sheet  If you want to pursue your interest and passion, remain in your country. It's useless talk like this that made Nigeria raised generations of unskilled people in the last 30 years where many became Criminals, Terrorists, Bandits, Prostitutes, Corrupt government officials etc People should embrace Health Sciences, Mathematics, ICT, Engineering, Skills Trade and Agricultural Studies, these are what the developed countries are looking for  |
