Hi all. I have just found the study opportunity in Poland as an alternative to Germany.

I checked some courses online in Poland already and most have their deadlines for ending of this month August 2020.

This is approximately 2 weeks before deadline.

From your experiences, if i started (from zero) with the application this week, can i still make it before the deadline?

Your responses are most appreciated.

Thanks.

Im yet to pay tuition fee.. but I went to moe today for authentication of documents

Pre-application
My first choice was actually University of Opole, that was until I came to this thread and saw someone talk about racism in some parts of Poland. It struck some fear in me, I no go lie, so I decided to look at other universities. I saw university of Warsaw and the first thing that caught my attention were the tuition free courses. I finally settled on Sustainable Development and prepared my documents for application.

Application
The easiest part of the whole process. I created my profile on IRK after watching a Youtube video on the application process. I paid the application fee using my MasterCard and downloaded the questions for the qualification interview. I worked on the interview questions and studied extensively on the subject. As a graduate of English Studies, I was already at a disadvantage as there were others with first degrees relating to Sustainable Development so I had no choice but to study hard. The interview came and it was very brief. Some helpful tips in preparing for the interview:

-Prepare well: I was fortunate to prepare for the interview by seeking coaching from friends, rubbing minds with my fellow applicant (Kels) and reading extensively. I didn't restrict myself to the materials I was given but I read wide. Eventually when the interview came, I was prepared.

-Look for a quiet place for the interview: Since the interviews are conducted online with meeting apps like Skype, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet etc, the audio quality matters. Polish people have their own English accent and if you're not in a quiet place, you will not be able to hear them.

-Your interviewers will likely be very friendly: I found it disconcerting somehow, maybe because I'm used to the naija way of interviews where people in the panel act as if they want to decimate and embarrass you. The Polish interviewers me and my friends spoke with were very friendly. In my case, they were even trying to assist with answering the questions they asked and I was amazed.

-Put your best foot forward: Why? Because the interview will most likely be brief. Find a way to answer questions by going straight to the point from the beginning. The interviewers have a large number of applicants to attend to so they may be kind of hasty. It's best for you to get to the point and fast.

Give room for Polish time: They even state it before the interview, be prepared 20 minutes before and 20 minutes after the interview. In my case, they interviewed me almost one hour after my allocated interview time.

Pray well: Very important

Post-application
Five days after my interview I received a notification that I'd qualified for studies and I had four days from that day to send my legalized documents to University of Warsaw. I hadn't even gotten my documents authenticated, talkess of legalised so I asked for a deadline extension which they granted. I went about getting my documents authenticated by proxy (read about that here https://www.nairaland.com/2272115/polish-student-visa/98#92243017 ) I eventually sent my authenticated documents and long silence...

Then out of the blues, my documents would be rejected because they were not legalized. Omo, I was lost. I didn't know where to start from after I've already told my mom and friends that I'd been admitted. I eventually rallied and sent a mail to the school citing the pandemic as a reason for the non-legalization. I even called the recruitment officer at some point. Eventually she told me she spoke with the admission officers and they decided that my eligibility letter was sufficient for admission.

Brethren, that's how I got admitted to the University of Warsaw. I'm moving on to the next phase and Godwilling, I'll be successful.

Congratulations! More wins!

Factually:
Visa application starts 24th august #verified.

Claudia090:
Please guys, since i have done Authentication at MOE and MOF do i still need the legalisation at embassy?

saskatoonguy:
FINALLY

Amanee:
From what I deduced during my own process.
At MOE:
-You give them your WAEC scratch card to verify your WAEC results
-They authenticate your certificate and transcript with the crest and sign twice at the back with date.
-They issue you eligibility letter sealed with stamps stating 'original' twice.

At MFA:
-They sign on the already signed certificates and transcripts.
-They also crest the documents.
-They also sign on other documents that you want legalized at the embassy like birth certificates, eligibility letter from MOE etc.

At some point in one of the ministries they request your passport photograph. I don't really know the ministry because I did my authentication by proxy. If there's something I missed others can assist.

Attached:
1) sample eligibility letter for Masters/Postgraduate studies
2) sample cresting and signature done on the certificate
