Hello all, Please can anyone help to answer this questions to guide me.

As an HND holder do I have a chance of getting admission for Masters or an undergraduate course in a tuition free University or a school that offers scholarship in Finland. If yes kindly suggest such schools

If its NO for Finland kindly suggest any other European countries that offers Tuition free/scholarship program to HND holders or a top up course before Masters program.

Please help a sister

my sister i was once in ur shoes. the answer is NO. i had to do PGD still many schools no dey recognize HND and PGD so i will advice u enrol to National open university and get a good grade in your B.sc. you will get a scholarship

Hello, i just received my application today and guess what, the decision was made on a draft application of last year's submission mistakenly submitted around February this year. all efforts to correct this error proved futile so I continued to make this year's application and I alerted the authorities at the embassy and sought their consent upon which a diary number was created for this new app. only for me to receive a decision on the stale app.

any ideas how to go about this? thanks

i dont get you. do u mean your RP was denied with the same template of last year. if yes notify them immediately. moreover did u use the same portal of last year by clicking new application tab? or u created a new portal for application?

a friend of mine was delayed today at lagos consulate (8:00) . He was asked why the US and he replied that he wants to go because where he is teaching is sponsoring him. Asked if married and he said yes. Asked if he have travelled before he said No. He has paid another fee and refilled d Ds-160. The problem he encounters is in d booking page, there is no available tab where he can click and schedule a date but when he registered as a new user tuesday date was available and when he tried booking, a reply came that his data matches d data in his other email used to open d previous one. Have anybody encourted this and what is d way forward?

Jollof rice? That's cool! Next time, you ask them who is gonna pay for this jollof rice after preparing it and see how their reactions would be.

Interesting!

Teedawg:

the thing is people of the same background tend to click together so do the Koreans or Chinese do they like staying put within themselves especially when there is a good amount of them in the School.. I'm sure if you had a group of Nigerians in one school they'll likely form a group to and assist themselves unless other wise because our head dey touch sometimes lol. now when you're in a class there will likely be projects for and you'll have to form a team which will comprise of different kinds of people so in other to achieve you all have to play together to achieve a common goal so irrespective of your background you all have to work together. now maybe some few will have their indifference with you they'll rarely bring it to your face.. it's all about making friends though not everybody will be your friend but that is not because they feel superior or anything but its just life ( in summary not everyone in your group must be your friend its all about working together to achieve a goal. who knows you may get some friends from the group )hope i get your message lol i feel like I've derailed

Thanks man.U didn't derail one bit,you 're on point.

@Lagosismyhome,Mekurexx,DeeTus thanks for the insight.

Teedawg:
well i can tell you its not going to be as easy as me trying to decipher this firewall you just typed
bros what are you saying?

Somebody once posted here that Indians like working in group in the classroom and u know working together is friendship so that is why I asked is it possible to work in group with American citizen or do they feel superior?

Happy Sunday everyone.please I want to ask the gurus in Trumpland how easy does it come for a naija guy to make male America citizen friend(white) to female.please share ur experience.

Believe it or not. I know someone a visa officer told "everything you said is rubbish and doesn't make sense, but" I'll BE APPROVING YOUR VISA". This is someone I know very well. So you can't predict a VO nor his/her mood. But OMG tho [/quote

I claim it in JESUS NAME AMEN.

Pls house if WES evaluate ur gp (3.12/5) to be 3.05/4, what will it be if school evaluates it themselves.

nairaspace:
@All,

Found out a newer method but the problem about posting it on here is it becomes rampant. I know it is a public information and you can research it yourself. (if you like believe me, if you like dont, its your own cup of tea)

It is not by force and i am not charging you for anything, I will only be helping you. If you know you want my help, PM me(only if you have posted on this forum and this particular topic "Re: Lets Talk About Estonia" as a participant and have some ample amount of post, i will ignore any ghost nairalander)

This is for anyone that:

1. Has gotten admission offer and is ready to apply for estonia visa/trp.
2. Ready to travel by Jun 15th

If you try to send a message and i dont accept, dont be offended.

Thank you.

Good day bro. Please email me at collinsjeanu@yahoo.com

please house,Is it possible for someone who have gotten admission without funding of any kind and have not paid his fees but with a limited budget of 500,000 naira travel to American and succeed?

@bigfrancis21,I have read your article on gpa conversion and I can say is quite clear but my question is dis,does it mean that when school evaluate their own internally,the result will be different from WES.please shed more light on school evaluation.
gurus in the house pls help.

please house, any naija in Idaho or university of Idaho?hope is a high profile school and state?
@bigfrancis21
@Lagosismyhome
@others

pls gurus in the house,what can you say about university of Idaho and Idaho in general.Need your help brothers and sisters.

larrygal:

am abt asking you, when is your appointment with dem
is like dey will be strict dis year cos the tune of deir email is somehow. they capitalized on no rescheduling of appointment due to too many applicant and limited time
BTW how much is 6720 euro in Naira, cos my scholarship is 6200 euro per session, each session comprises of 10months..so am thinking of dropping the remaining 520 euro in my account in order to avoid story

Dont panic. The appointment email has been like that. Your stipend from UEF should cover it and I see no reason why u should include sponsor dox. Their maybe transactions that will not be clear in his dox that may raise a red flag. Migri on many occasions have granted RP to people with less money to 6720. So 6000 euros u said is ok

For those of us who got admitted and luckly with scholarship or stipends and have proceeded to the embassy please share experience so that newbies will learn instead of asking already treated issues. Thanks

Dude04:
Congrats to those offered admission, i'll advise those without stipends in their scholarship to have atleast 2.3 mil deposited into their account by their sponsor. Please note make sure your sponsor is working and earning above 250k monthly to b on the safer side. T[b][/b]rust me I dont want anyone to experience what I did last year. Got denied twice coz of silly mistakes, dont apply if ur cash isn't complete abeg. And for those borrowing cash do not return d cash till u gt to finland. Minimum amount in ur account after ur RP card is secured should b 2.2 mil. Rp application has to do with patience, it takes up to 2months frm d day u apply till d day u receive ur RP card. Best of luck all
Anyone heading to AALTO university plz hollla via mail rukeoredia@gmail.com

Longest time buddy. Are u in Aalto Findland now?. Last year was hell mehn. Lots of denials. This year will be much better I believe. Mine was declined cos I remove some of my funds and I redeposited when asked for supplement but I didnt reapply again. Anybody heading to the embassy? Drop ur paroles, advice etc for others to learn

tolam08:

please I don't understand. which one is Rp?
Can he process his insurance form Nigeria or when he gets there? And please how do we go about the resident permit.?

RP is residence permit. Yeah of course. AIICO insurance and mutual benefit. AIICO cost 31,000. Just walk in their office with your passport and d cash

Dguy05:


Kenya !... abeg he has a low budget for this visa thing. any better option for other schengen countries , I will appreciate... he wants to start his processing immediately... please help a brother

Estonia, but dey have no embassy here so na india or egypt or japan u will first go. Germany but u go deposit 8760 euro for a german blocked account. Norway but u go show prove of 4mill or something like dat. Oda bosses can add their own

tolam08:

MSc Computational engineering and technical physics

Ok. Tell him to start now time no dey. Rp na like 97,000 and Aiico insurance na like 31,000 plus courier fee to abuja. Remember main sponsor is from scholarship

lewislife:
Please house I need advice.... I am graduating by end of this year (part-time) and before my N.Y.S.C exemption letter will be out it will take up to a year..... I don't know if they will request for N.Y.S.C in any process of the admission/visa ... I was thinking of applying in TUT by December

I doubt. NYSC is just for naija runz. Abroad runz no need dat tin

Dguy05:
Good morning my wonderful people.. firstly, thank u all for this informative thread....more grease to ur elbows . secondly, I am new to the thread. and I will need ur advice on applying for an undergraduate course in Finland for a close family friend. thirdly, can he still make it for September programmes. fourthly, can he show his sponsor's bank statement.. since he's not having a good account balance.... abeg I need una help. least I forget.... happy new month to every honourable members in this thread

Do yourself justice by starting from page 0. The tread is majorly for Masters but u can visit the studyinfo portal for more details but I doubt he will meet up cos from observation Finland admits once a year for intl students. Undergraduate courses are taught in finnish, i stand to be corrected. Also undergraduate courses do take entrance exam in kenya so u have to move their

tolam08:
Thanks so much. He was offered MSc admission.

Ok.which course?

tolam08:
With reference to my previous post here, I need directions and advice.
My friend is currently on a program in Tanzania, he will be through by July. Please how do we go about the visa application and what can be done so he can meet up resumption by August.
Please, as regards the living permit and health insurance, how do we go about it?
Prompt response is needed please. Thanks.

Tell your friend to visit the Finland embassy website in Nigeria and I will advice he follows the online route at migri portal. Follow the instructions there and mark the radio button to scholarship in the sponsor section. Also as for the health insurance let in visit any Aiico or mutal benefit office but I advice he follows Aiico cos of bad experience peeps had with mutual benefit.

temmy2008:
congrats Larrygal and Frankie2k on ur admissions. All the best with your RP applications.

Temmy my man. How UEF dey and how are u fairing in Finland. Hint us more buddy. Seems many peeps didn't apply much this time around. I pray we the hopefuls make it through in securing RP

larrygal:

Yea, I was thinking that they might require me to provide d funding for d first 30days bfor UEF start paying

Your thoughts are good. Iceberg made justice to your guess. Try to present your statement but on the migri portal, your main sponsor is the scholarship from UEF
