The whole team did very well. For the first time, I was proud of the super eagles. My man of the match is Dike, for scoring a goal and disturbing the Italian defence with his skills and dribbles.

Before you start sending your admission application, it’s important that you find out the application deadline for that particular institution. This is because schools most of the times reject application sent to them after the deadline. I have decided to post the admission deadlines for study in countries like Austria, Finland, France, Netherlands, Spain and Luxembourg.
Application Deadline for study in Austria
There are two general admission periods for studies at university in Austria with the deadlines as explained below:
• September 1: submit your application before September 1 for studies in the winter semester.
• February 1: for studies in the summer semester.
Extended application period for EU students
After the general admission period expires, the extended admission period starts. Through the extended admission period, students from the European Union can also apply for university studies in Austria according to the extended deadlines listed below:
• November 30: for studies in the winter semester.
• April 30: for studies in the summer semester.

Application Deadlines for study in Finland
If you apply for studies at a university or polytechnic through the joint application system, you will have to consider the application deadlines as seen below.
Application deadlines for studies at Polytechnics in Finland
For study programs conducted in English, the usual application period starts approximately 6 months in advance of the beginning of the program. For example, if your program starts in autumn, the deadlines will most likely be by February. Please note that you must submit all supporting documention before the dealine expires in order for your application to be considered. About 2 months after the deadlines expires, your university of applied sciences/polytechnic will inform you whether you have been admitted to the program you applied for. You will have to confirm you accept your study place after that.
Application deadlines for studies at Universities in Finland
The application period begins around November and runs through February - April depending on the study program. Please, check at the institution website the specific deadline for the course of your choice.
Application Deadlines for study in France
The academic year in France begins on 1st October and ends on 30 June, and it is divided into two semesters:
• First semester: runs from early October through late January
• Second semester: runs from early February through late May
At the end of each semester, students are called to take their exams.
It’s advisable that you start the admission process by January.

Application Deadlines for study in Netherlands
Application deadlines in the Netherlands vary depending on the study program or course. In general, you should apply for studies some months in advance before the academic semester starts. The winter semester starts in the first week of September and the summer semester starts in February.

I will advice Nigerian graduates to develop enterpreneural skills rather than wait for a job. There are very few jobs in Nigeria and only people with oga's at the top get it. In 2011 when I finishd my nysc, I decided to create a blog cos I new it will be hard to get a job with the level of unemployment in Nigeria and today by God's grace I make close to what most bankers get on a monthly bases. So I'm encouraging all graduates to create jobs for themselves rather than wait for government.

We'll get there one day...

sundayk: Thanks for the information. Kindly throw more light on the nominating agency and example in Nigeria. Thanks.
