daryoor: There's no school here that offers free accommodation except you apply for quota scholarship. However, quota scholarship is only for schools that has bilateral agreement with schools in Norway. The only school I know as per UiS is university of Uyo. Also, you don't need any TOEFL or IELTS to study here except for TUC. Thanks! 2 Likes |

lequatee: It's simple, go to your institution. Tell them to write a letter addressed to school in Norway stating you studied in English during your bachelors. That's all you need bro! Best of luck. |

monica90: Monica! Racism is a complex word and can be used to mean something different in many context. I have argued with someone before in this thread about this. However, I will still clear my views. In my opinion, I see it is natural that some people will choose not to be friendly because of cultural, religious, ethnic differences. It happens everywhere even in Nigeria. I love Africa and Nigeria specifically but our reputation dwindles because of media report manipulation, corruption, and what we have made them believed we are. What do you expect? For example, the first African here were slaves and refugees. That indelible mark remains in history and even their children studies it, carries it along generation but we need to stand as true Africans, show good reputation, correct their beliefs and match on because the future belongs to Africa. If we don't go, we will not have the opportunity to break words man to man, if we don't speak they will not hear but if they hear us there may be change. Your little piece of speech towards the revival of our continent is valuable. I will say racism exist every even in Nigeria but not as people think...do your best, strife hard and you will see success awaits you. "It will never make them judge you wrongly for what you have won". You need to win not desire. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

chemenger: Yes! The address is correct. I also got admission at NTNU. I don't know if the format has changed but as at last year, you have to submit a preliminary application. During this process you don't need to send any hard copy by post only upload your documents. By December 15 - 25, candidates that passed through the preliminary screening will receive aa mail to send their documents to the above address before February 1. Hope it helps, good luck. |

monica90: Monica, I was at the admin of my school yesterday to inquire about BSC admissions. From their answers, you must understand Norsk before you can be admitted. Also, if you don't, then you must go tru a 1yr course in Norsk and pass before you can be considered for admission. The 1yr Norsk program is only possible if you are already in Norway according by them because they will not assist you in getting visa for this one year course. So I understand it's for people that are already here. For Hostels, yes they will provide you one. In fact before your arrival because you need to show Norge Embassy that you have somewhere to stay before your Visa app can be granted. You have to pay between 3000NOK to 5000NOK depending on place and city. I hope this helps, wish you all the best of luck in your application. 1 Like |

Obiwannn: Your question tof sha. The truth is you must survive. I may not have a specific answer to this because it depends on what you want. Firstly, when you arrive norway, pls focus on studies for the first semmester and get good grades. It will opens doors of opportunity for you- teaching assistance, intern, etc. Other tins will follow. Secondly, focus and serve God. I tell people that it's not by accident dat dey are here and so God will surely take care of His own. However, the oil economy is a bit shaky now but will peak up soonest and if you want some to do some jobs ofcourse u can and every job here pays but not all jobs are easy to do especially in the cold. Nigerians in Norway is a big family with reputation and they will always show you how to be successful. 2 Likes |

Abeg make una no vex o, i been dey busy before but ok am here. Genfront: You are correct. However, try to sign your letter of motivation. Also your recommendation letter must be signed. It will be good if the recommendation letter is written on institution's letter headed paper. After the transfer and no visa, the money will be transferred back to you. Although I know of a friend that told the school to keep it because he want to use it the following year and that singular action made the process very easy for him. I think this will help a bit. 1 Like |

amii131: @starflux and@ inyzx plx i have another question o i want to apply for 2 Courses i love much in health field bt is been offered by 1 school uniberg precisely would that be a risk applying to these various department in the same school? Amiii, its not a problem but I think it good to spread your tentacles by applying to another school as well just for back up sake. For Q1, I applied to NTNU and UiS and both gave me admission so don't worry much because I think it cannot be a barrier |

Hi Amii, I will get back to you with your answer please just give me sometime. However, let me answer some. 1. Get back to you. 2. It varies from one to another, start checking now and most ends December. NTNU ends December 1, for UiS starts December and end march. 3. Norway for me is still green, even in advanced country health courses sells. I may not have time to do research on this but try to google more about this but i think it should sell. 4. Your NYSC cert is not compulsory 5. I don't know much about other cities but I know, Bergen, Trondheim, Oslo and Stavanger are good cities for employment but one interesting thing is, you can live any where and do a job somewhere else especially during summer 6. I will get back to you. This is just the little I know, may be StarFlux will have more. Tusen Takk (thanks so much in Norwegian) and good luck . amii131: hi greetings to everyone i have been following up on these thread am so thankful to everyone that give up their time to reply . |

Okay, For statement of purpose, yes get some knowledge from previous ones but its better to make it original. That's speaking from your heart. I will advise start cooking up something and review it on a daily or weekly basis as you always find something new to add or something odd to remove from the draft like i did. For TOEFL or IELTS, its not necessary but if you want to do it, why not? I didn't do it anyway. However, you can send a mail to your school of choice to inquire more about it like i did to ask them if they require it. For sure you must write it if you wanna go for Telemark University College but for NTNU & UiS, its not necessary, however may increase your chance which i don't know. For Transcript, you can look for an insider, explain to him/her and may help you get it out so you can send it together with your document sealed. If you didn't succeed finding some help, the allow them but keep track by contacting collecting an insider's phone number and telling him/her to track it for you. Most school uses UPS they also have tracking system and so may know when your document arrives Norway. Good luck man. Gambros: |

Gambros: Please Inxyz and co, I need to be clarified on some things. I would like to do my masters in NTNU. I studied chemical engr and had 2:1. I am a bit confused on how to even start up the process,like what n what to put together first. I have gone through their site but really am not clear on how to start up the process. Please I need assistance. Thank you. Just read this thread to get more understanding on how it works. However, prelimary application - final application - Admission. The most critical part of the application process for most of us was getting the finance -deposit. Get your SOP - statement of purpose ready, transcript,degree result,international passport ready and certified by either the issuing institution, court or police. Then, I advice you get all the deposit if you can because its an expensive place to live so you can have a soft landing. Nevertheless, I borrowed part of my deposit and transfered it back after my arrival in Norway. So you can as well do same. The most important thing is, you must show a bank statement with a balance approximating 98,000 NOK ( for University of Stavanger) before you will be granted admission so you can look for someone that has such amount of money to print his/her statement of account to act as sponsor and also must transfer same before you can be granted a study visa as a self-financed student. I think this little may help. Good luck. kennycanny: Hello all, especially to Staflux, INXYZ, ashimiyu ,and other peeps that have been sacrificing their time to contribute valuably to this trend. Pls I need advice/guidance from those that have good knowledge about going about studying in Norway. Kenny, i think Staflux has said it all. kennycanny: I am sorry to say,this is more personal because it depends on the career path you want to follow. If you want to move here, that is okay. Then I will advise you to look up for courses that are less competitive and may be recently introduced in the school if possible. This may increase your probability of getting admission. As long as you are admitted and transfered your deposit, I will say your chances of getting your visa is more than 90% as at this year's rating. Good luck man. 1 Like |

If you use Google as a base of your posts, then that's ludicrous.

pansophist: justwise: I don't know what you guys are talking about. Home? What is home, can you mention any country in the world you can call home? Even Nigeria my country is just by birth because home is where you find comfort. Can you live in Borno state or comfortably stay in the Northern part if your are a southerner, is it not Nigeria? and you talk of racism. Can you contest as a governor in Edo state when you are from Lagos state. The truth is saying Chinko alone is racism. It took the white patience, sacrifice fairness, commitment, patriotism to take their country to where it is now and you must respect that. If they allow you to behave or have full right you may destroy it, so you don't have to blame them for that. I could not get some Job in Nigeria even after passing medicals because I am not from a particular area, this is my experience and you still talk of racism. Yes we have oil in Nigeria, do you have the skills? Or educational expertise to gain employment? What is the status of your government, are they doing anything that will foster development? Remember traveling outside your comfort zone alone is not only just a life time experience but also broaden your horizon. If you behave well you live well everywhere you go. No body will be happy you want to share what belongs to them, so get that and be guided. 21 Likes |
