olujastro:
So how did you port to Sweden, further studies? Cos that looks like the easiest way.

Yes Yes

Sassyp:
I am trying to save myself the stress of reading through from the begining thats why i asked the question here...if any1 wants to be kind enough to tell me pls do...if you cant just park well thank you...

Bro you are lazy, arrogant yet beg to be spoonfed..

olujastro:
Strange question. It's too complicated to answer. It all depends on what your plans of staying here are, and I'm not in your mind to know your almost every plan, things you plan to spend on/shopping, accommodation plans for 3wks. Can't help you plan your expenses so I'm surprised at the question.
Just have more than enough money cos Norway is an expensive country. Google can easily tell you that.

Lol... People can ask kindergarten question sha

olujastro:
I would easily recommend Germany ahead of Norway.
Germany is the heart of the European economy largely built on manufacturing, while Norway is an oil based economy with little or no manufacturing sector. This means a form of 'employment recession' during bad times such as now when oil prices are low. It gets so bad that even part time jobs are very difficult to get during the lows. Stavanger is the oil capital of Norway so that should tell you it's highly affected too. Let me take this chance to advise people not to borrow money to come hoping to easily pick up a job. As it stands, there's a high probability you'll be miserable after returning d loan. Several examples abound here.

For certificate recognition, each country recognises its own certificates first before that of other countries provided the jobs are available. Norway particularly gives preference to their graduates here.

Germany gives 18 months post study visa while Norway now gives 1yr with stringent conditions I already told you before.
So that should easily inform your choice.

Best of luck!

Word. I studied in Norway and moved to Sweden upon graduation as the swedes are more liberal and has less stringent immigration policy. Also the Swedish economy is more comprehensive than Norway's. Norway is richer though

bizza009:
hello guys,pls i need an advise,university of stavanger specified that university transcript and certificate from Nigeria must be certified by the awarding institutions,Does it mean i cannot certify them at the high court.Please someone should advise on how i can certify theses documents in my school.Thank you

You didn't understand the instructions on the web.. Go and read it again.. This time pay more attention

jasinto123:
i was also refused last month...Even with my traveling experience .. and also i still have 1year valid Canadian visa on my passport.i was refused without any genuine reason..

Ehyaaaaa that's bad

dentrice:
dont listen to anybody's write up. go to the university site and read about the entry requirements. How can it be when you have done 100L in a university that you are qualify for an admission.

Have you done research yourself to find out if the information is true or not....Before you come to cast aspersion on an information because it does not augur well with your imagination do simple google research.

Don't be lazy.

Rapahel1116:
Norway or Germany which is better in terms of high paying jobs

For low and middle skilled jobs I think you earn pretty more in Norway because there is not much difference in income levels in Norway as the income gap is narrow.

But if you are highly skilled professional or CEO in Germany, I think you earn more in Germany and coupled with the Comparative low cost of living in Germany, you end up having good bucks left with you at the end of the day.

FIDELITY24:
I also attended st John primary school, from nursery to primary four den later moved to Douala to stay with my dad. I came back to Nigeria since 2002.

Which year did you leave St John. And were you in group 1,2 or 3

FIDELITY24:
stayed in treasury street and also buea road

Wow... Very close to ours. I stayed near Krammer junction as if you are approaching mimbo Village.
I also stayed briefly at fiango (bad place) and mbonge road.

I attended St John primary school, kumba town and Gbhs kumba, PHS kumba and ccas kumba - - all for my secondary and high education.

I have been to different cities/towns around the world but kumba remains my best and will forever remain in my heart.

When did you leave kumba? Perhaps we might know each other cos treasure street is still my area.

ngwababe:
Blood of God! Make God kukuma take his life na and save the children from this wahala... HIV pass this one oo

FIDELITY24:

Was born in kumba too.... Attended primary and secondary school in kumba.

kwenu:
Thankf for the reply , i am very grateful. may your visit to Norway Bring you great blessings.

men will serve you in Norway. IJN

Amen :-D

kwenu:
Hi guys.

Pls with just o level result alone can one gain. Admission on. Norwegian. Universities.

I have never been to a. University. Before
.do I stand a chance to getting admission?
Pls help me with answers

Sorry you can not. In addition to your o-level you need atleast 100 level University education.

You can look at neighboring Sweden. With just waec you can get admission. But know that Sweden charges TUITION FEES. The least you get is SEK90k~3.1million per year.

Canada too offers BSc admission for Nigerian waec holders. Tuition also applies

Philistine:
fool @ 62

65 not 62.

But he is not a fool. Don't be an idiot that lacks manners

whizfache:
Thats true bro, norway tuition is low as 23,000 naira when converted to naira

Norwegian public universities don't charge tuition fees. I guess the amount you stated is student government contribution.

whizfache:
but the living expenses is very high,

Agree.

whizfache:
for a year one most hold atleast close to 1.5 million naira to live a normal life

It is actually more than that even for students. As of today students need to document 3.8million naira as living expenses for 1year.
Non-students need times two of this to be granted a resident permit to seek employment.

whizfache:
but all d way norway is a great country, jobs are in norway for students, atleast it will reduce d load

I agree 100%. The best country in Europe in my opinion. Probably only Switzerland could rival Norway.
Unemployment is the lowest, salaries are amazing in a way that the most menial of jobs could afford u a comfortable living.

DAVECENA:
One thing people don't understand about studying in tuition free countries is that the standard of living is kinda obnoxious. E.g Norway,Germany and public universities in some Scandinavian nations. So before you apply,have it in mind that what you may spend annually is much more than you expected.

I guess u wanted to mean COST OF LIVING. You are not the first Nigeria I came across miswriting standard of living when they want to mean how expensive the country is to live in - COST OF LIVING . They are two different meaning. Don't know why (Nigeria) people misuse it. Laughable tho

BTW the standard cost of living in Germany is not "obnoxious" as you said. Germany is actually one of the cheapest places to live in Europe

hustla:
None of the above
If it's not

Germany
Canada
Yankee
New Zealand
Australia
South Africa if you're ready to school and then get a stay
Maybe Leichestein if you can learn German and
Austria, same as above


Do not Go
Or else na suffer head go end am.. If you like argue and do strong head, ma ur hand e dey oo

So

Sweden,
Norway,
Denmark,
Finland,
Austria,
the Netherlands,
Switzerland
The UK

Are missing on your... No no.. This your list should be your personal preferred countries. No other person should take it serious.

And how is South Africa better to immigrate to than any of the countries I mentioned?

maternal:
Unless it's Canada, America, UK, France, Australia, or new Zealand, you're simply jumping from one 3rd world country to the next.

Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland are not on your list therefore they are third world countries and not worthy to immigrate to?

bosslady1991:
Yeah, quite different from ntnu and the rest. Target is engineering. Environmental engineering. Masters. What about you?

I am a former student at NTNU. But currently living in more liberal and neighboring Sweden. But I have a younger brother who is an applicant to UiS. He applied Marine and Offshore technology (msc) there. With other applications to other universities in Norway and Sweden.

bosslady1991:
I couldnt upload anything online. More like, there was no option to upload sef. So I sent them a mail to be sure and they told me:

"Dear Ronke,
Thank you for your interest in the University of
Stavanger and your application.
As a non-EU/EEA student you are not able to upload
the required documentation. Everything has to be
send to the university with post or courier.
Please find detailed information as well as the
University’s address here: http://www.uis.no/
noneudocumentation""........


I guess my school will send my transcript to them, then I send the rest myself.

Okay. Quite different from others Norwegian universities where you just upload documents to soknadsweb.

Which program are you gunning for?

bosslady1991:
*whew* finally got to the end. Why is this thread silent now. Guys, come on, let's ginger ourselves. Anyhow, I'm about to send all documents required to UiS. Certified all necessary documents. Infact, I over certified sef..lol! To prevent stories that touch. Infact, I wrote down key points from these thread. Let's hope for the best!

Good luck with your application

Are u sure u are sending all documents by post.?

Last time I checked, it is only transcript that ought to be sent by regular mail and this transcript must be sent directly from ur University, by your university

pachman:
Thank you
Would try to check up some
Please do you know what schools in particular

It seems you just want to be told what you want to hear.
You come across as someone that can easily be deceived.

Listen, as a NON-EU citizen, you must pay
1) Admission application fee (SEK900)
2) Tuition fees (ranges from sek90,000 to sek150,000 depending on the program)

Yes Scholarships are available just like they are available in the UK and Canada but sholarships are reserved for very academically - talented students. In this case if you made first class honors, you may stand a chance.

But having first Class doesn't guarantee you anything cos competition are stiff from around the world and number of potential winners are very limited.

dokkitaa:
Even up till now they still offer tuition free as their own way of scholarships..... If you are serious about it enter Google yourself and none will toss you to and fro.

I don't get what you mean by the bolded.

The question is-- Are Swedish universities tuition-free for students from non-EU countries?

Answer the above in a coherent and less confusing manner

fados4sure:
hahaha
My brother travel to Sweeden in 2011 on a free tuition university & later transfer to Brandenburg Technical University in Cottbus Germany because there was no job in Sweeden in 2011 & am currently in Germany now on a research work

Hahahaha... From 2011 to present is how many years apart?

How could you rely on something that happened more than 5years ago in an ever changing world.

One would have thought that you'd do little research on that topic before posting this your most recent comment

You fall hand big time .

Kondomatic:
I didn't say we are God, did I?

And you should know the answer to your question if you are a Christian but if you're not then I don't see why it should bother you...

But are we not like him (likeness) and his image.?
There also is a verse in the bible where we are told we are gods.

Since we are like him, why do other life forms(viruses, hiv, ebola, mosquito etc) which he created in the first place, feast on humans(his image and purpose of creation) bringing death and misery.


Please explain to me why these happened if we are the sole purpose of his creation, if we are like him and the apple of his eyes

Proffdada:
if prayer doesn't work you will be at the cemetery. I've been praying for people like you to live and testify the name of the Lord

F u and prayer. Ridiculous nonsense

Kondomatic:
Bro. You are created in God's likeness. God is almighty so you should at least be mighty because you are his image.


Why should I pray the ......... Prayer for self-care when the step by step guides on how to care for both my physical self and inner self are written in the bible?

Why should I pray the ......... Prayer for peace when I already know what it takes to be a peaceful person?

Why should I pray the ......... Prayer for self-worth when it is something that I can work on and come out with beautiful testimony?

I don't get what you mean by when you're in pain, if it is physical pain then I will go to a hospital and get myself treated. Jesus wasn't kidding when he made a doctor an apostle.

But if it is psychological as in trauma or something like that then maybe I may need a little prayer, good counselling etc.


Faith without work is nothing and we sometimes rely unreasonably on prayer when a little effort from us can get us out of our problem.

Some prayer points these days makes the unbelievers question our sanity.

Why do viruses like HIV, Ebola etc and other parasites and bacteria live off humans (God's likeness and image) causing misery and death.

Don't tell me viruses can survive and thrive inside God too

fados4sure:
I said so sir.

Then you got it wrong
