Igbinsf2:
it can't be September because some persons are to resume by September first, and their names are not in the list of the 313 names so I believe befor July runs out, they you should bring more list out because the time given? Don't you think so?
July will be used for visa interview for the over 313 students.
So if there to be any list, that will be from August ending going forward.
August will be used for visa approval from embassy.
Even if the person is to resume my September it does not matter, it is when he get visa appointment that he can submit his application.
I hope you are aware that some that got admission last year are also among the names of the 313 released for appointment.

If You mean at ministry of education, after you uploaded your certificate,then you will need to be assisted on that for it to drop..things have changed now..they said everything is online now and no physical visitation to the ministry, but if you do not get someone to help u for it to be drop in your email you will wait for months..that is what it is now.
Some uploaded few days and there's have drop because they screenshot their remital number/number and send to someone to help them to approve it.
Just try and do that if not you will wait for long.

Layohrt:

Some of you that ask me if it is possible to get a school with ongoing application for September
That will assists them with appointment date at the embassy.
Please check university of Aveiro, even university of Porto depends on the department and
Nova IMs with your legalize documents o..though Nova IMs accept with unlegalized documents..but i advice you legalize before applying because of what happened to others last year.
So only transcripts are to be legalized through the embassy right?
Re: Anyone Studying In Portugal!!!! by MouthOdor: 12:01am On Jun 30
Guys, I need help on applying for a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. Please any advice?

Your Bsc and transcript certificate if you are going for masters and your O level and transcript (ss1-ss3) if you are going for Bsc these are what you need for embassy legalization and admission application.

You can use your Bsc&transcript, master and transcript, you will authenticate both, at ministry of education and Foreign Affairs.
You will submit your masters and transcript to embassy for legalization, but embassy will want to sight your authenticated Bsc&transcript to know weather you past through university before obtaining the masters. So it is your masters and transcript that will be legalized.
Then you can proceed with admission, though there are some schools also you can apply with unlegalized documents.

My Bachelor's is Nigeria and Master's is UK, can I still legalize through Nigerian Foreign Affairs and the Portuguese Embassy?

Getting PhD admission is easier and in most cases, the tuition are cheaper if you already have your masters. You stand a better chance to get scholarship as a PhD student too . You may want to contact ajanovoconsults@gmail.com for more info.
All the best!
Is this your agency?
Re: Anyone Studying In Portugal!!!! by yusman14(m): 5:29am On Jul 01
Good day everyone.
I submitted my Portugal study visa application at VFS Lagos on Monday, and I was told that I will be having an interview at Abuja next week.

It's really weird because Portugal is known for not doing interview, I don't know what's happening.

I'm going for masters degree (Erasmus Mundus program, Engineering).
What kind of questions should I be expecting?

I'm not the only person called for an interview though.

Bro just as you kn that the process have changed, that means you want them to bend the process for you..I don't response to this kind of questions but I just say let me educate you.
1 There 2 visa appointment, one for principal applicant (student) and the second appointment is for the dependant, now embassy have scrab the visa appointment for dependants it no longer exist. So that that makes it impossible for you to explore that option for now.
Re: Anyone Studying In Portugal!!!! by freedomtours(m): 2:00pm On Jul 11
My age
Why I choose Portugal
I’m I planning to get married
Can I speak Portuguese
How much I earn
How much my sponsor earn
Where I work
Where my sponsor works
Two women white Portuguese said I should speak some Portuguese language
Do I have a girlfriend
Where will I stay in Portugal

These is one of the questions that was ask one of the applicant last week.

If you are applying for admission do not apply to Vocational sch and avoid those courses taught in Portuguese and also try and apply to courses that relate or align with what you are doing currently..this is affecting the current set of applicants that just submitted and are being interviewed.
Re: Anyone Studying In Portugal!!!! by Foreverbeauty: 10:24pm On Jul 12
