Plz kindly reply me. I send pm to you.
Uchboggy:
. The kind of confidence you speak with ehhhh, one would think you’re speaking from experience.

It takes over a month at least for the funds to be available. Like @olujastro said , it depends on how fast you finish your police registration and get you Social security number then open a bank account, mine got ready in October (3months)

And again, there is no restriction when the funds get to your account, you can send any amount to any account anywhere you like

boss i have 2.57gpa graduated 2015,studied mass communication. what are my chances and wish schools can i apply to



quote author=StarFlux post=71734575]Your chances are pretty slim I'd say. Know that many master degrees require a Norwegian C average. Third class is a Norwegian D so you'd fall below the required grade in most cases. They may or may not weigh your work experience (most likely not).[/quote]
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by olaadesie(m): 9:39pm On Sep 29, 2019
which courses are less competitivesir?? pls post some here
Semose:

Admission of MSc in Norway usually begins in October down to February ending.. Depending on availability of admission placements by schools... You tend to have good chances if u have a good result at first degree... If u happen to come out with second class lower... I will advise you go for less competitive courses.. You might be lucky

wages vary by industries but at least, you're sure of 110---130 Norwegian Krone per hour after tax and you work 20hrs per week during school period and unlimited hour during break. 1NK = 40 naira, do the remaining maths and get the required result per month and per year. However, odd jobs pay very well if gotten, at least the pay should be enough for you to live a vibrant and decent life like travelling, Skiing (major outdoor sport in Norway) accommodation, feeding and all that but not luxurious lifestyle. Student accommodation is between 3000---4500 Norwegian krone depending on the area your school is located in. in minor cities ( when I say minor, they're developed than your FCT Abuja) you won't spend more than 7000 NK per month likewise in major cities, you won't spend more than 8500 NK per month in accommodation, feeding, transport and other things if you live a low key lifestyle. however, if you smoke and drink expect to spend 12000--- 15000 Nk per month because drinks are costly and cigarette is very very expensive because of high tariff imposed on it by the Norwegian government. Oslo (the capital city), Trondheim and Stavanger (oil capital of Norway) are expensive but have more Student jobs and numerous opportunities for int'l students than other cities so I prefer the aforementioned cities. it's advisable to learn Norwegian language in other to integrate and get what you want as regards post graduation opportunities. after MSc, you can apply for skilled working visa if you can present the sum of 200,000 NK that's about 8 million naira to Norwegian immigration department www.UDI.no and they will give you one year post study visa to look for job and the job must be in line with your academic discipline. if you can learn their language before you finish your masters and have up to 8 million, you are good to go with this option but unfortunately, you can't learn Bokmal and Nynorsk ( Norwegian languages) within just two years. some schools offer free language course once you're admitted to a particular MSC programme e.g NTNU also Look for their girls and date, it will make you to integrate very well and learn the language very fast. However, my advice for people upon MSC admission to a Norwegian school is to immediately apply for PhD while in 2nd year of your MSC programme in fact, most of the MSC programmes have career paths to PhD and even if yours doesn't have, look for another MSc programme and do to gain more ground In the country and to enable you immerse yourself deeply in their language after all, education is free so keep studying for greatness you shall see the glory of God. PhD students are paid 45000usd----50000usd per year, the higher you go in level, the higher the pay ( for e.g you can receive 45,000 USD in 100 level of your PhD programme and 50,000 USD in year two or three and it goes like that) as a PhD student, you will be given maximum respect as an employee and you will travel round the world for research purpose, seminars, book lunch and inaugural lectures related to your field. running a PhD programme is the best way to acquire Permanent residency and Job and you must have learnt Norge by then. I.T as well as nurses, doctors, engineers and other health related disciplines are highly sought after with very high pay. Norway is geographically an European country but politically not an European country because its not a member of EU but its a member of Schengen. It has borders with Sweden and Denmark and it's one of the 26-member schengen countries so with it's student and resident permit, you can travel to other 25 schengen countries without any hitches but you must not exceed 90 days in your stay!..My advice again is to settle down and marry their girl, it will bring a lot of opportunities. there girls are good if you're sincere to them and are ready to face genuine way of life to making it. EDUCATION and MARRIAGE is the best way to go as regards Norway, my elder brother studied nursing and married there also and today, he's not regretting it.... I did biochemistry at university of Port Harcourt and I'm relocating soon for nursing or MSC in Biotechnology. Just try your best, focus on God, and you will make it ...GOD bless us all. Lest I forget some doctors and nurses make 1 million naira and above per month some even 2million, 3 million depending on specialty, experience and how good you're. the working period is flexible 38hrs per week except overtime and must be financially beneficial but you must also know that Norway is " you earn more and spend more" but you don't have to live large, just focus on the money first and live a low key life and you will make it very well considering the country you're from. when you strike balance in life financially, you can live large if you wish. its one of the richest countries in the world with a very high standard of living and a GDP per capita of 83,000 USD as at 2018 whereas Nigeria is just 2000 USD. free education from undergraduate to professorship for both citizens and foreign students free healthcare, good food, beautiful environment and with a population of 5,700,000 it makes it easier for wealth to be distributed. nothing like poverty to them, everyone is wealthy but they don't show themselves. very humble, smart and hardworking people. they have enough seafoods ( you will eat and become tired if you have the money). my elder brother is a Nurse ( specialties: midwifery and geriatrics) he has been there since year 2007 and he speaks bokmal and Nynorsk more than some Norwegians, he is already a citizen since years ago. any further inquiries, add me on Facebook Prince Chidinma Victor God bless us all!

there are Jobs in those sectors, you will work in the hotel, museum or other related sectors but you must learn their language for permanent job acquisition. per time student job is not that hard to get, you will get it don't be scared the country is good and there is room to switch to other disciplines if you so desire. after all my brother told me that his friend did microbiology in the university of Nigeria Nsukka and he came to Norway and switched to nursing and he's doing fine to the glory of God

I just have a question for the house especially those over there in Norway.

I believe this question had been asked buh I wasn't so sure of the response cos 2 persons gave dissimilar views.

Q: This 5million naira been deposited for visa/embassy study permit; Can it be withdrawn back after all necessary paperwork has been done on arrival in Norway and sent back to Nigeria comfortably? Say 3 months time??

Cos, na borrow I wan borrow as e stand once the response is established.

Thanks in anticipation.
bro it's advisable not to borrow money for this kind of movement. once you deposit the money, it will take you like 2--3 months before you get it because you have to go through so many legal applications, through the student welfare department of the school, they will open a bank account for you, deduct like 6000 NK for accommodation, semester fee and other registration fees depending on the school and transfer the remaining money to the account they will open for you there in Norway, then you can now start using your money. however the reason why I said it's advisable not to borrow money is because you might stay 2 or 3 or even 4 months before you get job. how will you feed and pay your accommodation as well as transport fare?. once you apply for admission and they grant you the admission, you will be given receipts for accommodation and the money you deposited. which you will use to apply for study permit at Norwegian embassy. study permit costs 5300 NK about 211,000 naira and if granted, the next one you will apply is the resident permit through the police department and you will be given a social security number without all these no way for you in Norway and you can't get job.

Norway is located in the northern most hemisphere of course we have about 7 continents in the world and you must belong to one of them as a Nation, so when you check on Google, they classify Norway as being a country in Europe but if you mingle with them, they will tell you they're on their own with lots of mountain and lake it borders iceland

I'm not quarrelling with you bro, we learn everyday. if you check world map, you will notice that Iceland and Norway are situated far from other European countries but situated close to Sweden and Denmark ( generally call Scandinavia) for instance Germany which is in western ( the most central European country) Europe has a short distance interconnections with Czech republic, Belgium, Austria, France and Netherland and you can easily travel to all these countries using train or road than travelling to Norway via the aforementioned routes. Norway is surrounded by water ( Atlantic ocean and Norwegian sea) even to go to the neighbouring Scandinavian countries, you go by land or air or water... let me just say Norway is in Europe and not in Europe. I can remember a Norwegian friend I met in Guangzhou early last year, then I called her " European buddy" she smiled and said she prefers being referred to as Scandinavian than the aforementioned European Buddy ".. so in general, Norway lies on Europe ( Yes geographically they lie on Europe " but far away from" but politically, they don't accept they're Europeans, they prefer the noun " Scandinavian" thanks....

I said "GEOGRAPHICALLY", they lie on the northern most hemisphere of the European continent but " POLITICALLY", they are not part of European union and they prefer to be referred to as Scandinavians to Europeans. Just as the UK is trying to secede from EU, via the platform of BREXIT . does it now mean that if they succeed, they're no longer in Europe?. when I started this conversation, I said earlier on that we have 7 continents in the world Europe, Africa, Asia, N/America, S/America Antarctica and Australia and a nation must be on one of the continents... so read my write-ups very well before you jump into issues....please let's forget about this issue of geographic location and political perception of a thing and discuss about how to enter the country which is the most important thing. the location of Norway will neither put food on our table nor bring money to us. what I want to hear is that everyone yearning to go there has entered the country!
