Sure. If you are talking in general terms, 'almost' all the Swiss universities offer their MSc. courses in English. However, if you are talking in "course-specific" terms, then a couple of courses are in German and French as applicable. Like I said in my earlier post, I really don't know much about social science courses. Sorry. |

No reason to be annoyed, we are all here to help each other. To be honest, I don't know much about criminology but I think university of Lausanne offers it. Check www.unil.ch (Note, you have to understand french as most of the content on the website are in french) Good luck. |

As far as I know, most Swiss schools don't request for SAT, GRE etc. The semester fee is also usually around 500-800 CHF depending on the school. You might wanna check schools in Geneva, Lausanne and Saint Gallen. I can't recall any school that offer such courses from the top of my head but if anyone does it would one of the afore-mentioned schools. Good luck. |

AKDON: Everything you need about ETHZ can be found in the link below www.ethz.ch The site is in German (Deutsch/de) which you have to change to English (en) on the top right corner. Good luck |

rumplestilskin: Standard Chartered Bank has a branch in Geneva and is recognised by the Swiss authorities. The accommodation part is a bit tricky because most people putting the rooms for rent usually conduct visitations where they get to know you and decide if they want to give their rooms to you. The other alternative I can think of is to go through woko (woko.ch) and the likes. Immatrikulationbestaetigung = Confirmation of matriculation which you should get from your prospective school Studiennachweis = Transcript of records which you should have from your previous school. I hope that helps. Good luck |

Geofavor: Well, to generate a geological model you need to have a basic idea about some physical parameters of your system at the very least. Unfortunately, we don't know so much about Pluto yet. |

What do you mean inner component? We don't even have a photo of the "inner" component of the earth let alone pluto (except of course you are talking about geological models of the planet's interior). Geofavor: |

13. NASA Missions Have Their Eyes Peeled on Pluto: What's icy, has "wobbly" potato-shaped moons, and is arguably the world's favorite dwarf planet? The answer is Pluto, and NASA's New Horizons is speeding towards the edge of our solar system for a July 14 flyby. 14. Pluto By Moonlight: On July 14, New Horizons mission scientists will soon obtain the first images of the night region of Pluto, using only the light from Charon, itself softly illuminated by a Sun 1,000 times dimmer than it is at Earth. 15. Pluto-Bound New Horizons Takes a Distant Look at Neptune with labels:NASA's Pluto-bound New Horizons spacecraft captured this view of the giant planet Neptune and its large moon Triton. 16.

5. Pluto Image Sent to Earth on July 14. 2015: Three billion miles away, Pluto has sent a “love note” back to Earth, via NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. 6. Views of Pluto Through the Years. 7. New Horizons Close-Up of Charon’s ‘Mountain in a Moat’:This new image of an area on Pluto's largest moon Charon has a captivating feature—a depression with a peak in the middle, shown here in the upper left corner of the inset. 8. Portrait of Pluto and Charon: The latest two full-frame images of Pluto and Charon were collected separately by New Horizons during approach on July 13 and July 14, 2015. The relative reflectivity, size, separation, and orientations of Pluto and Charon are approximated in this composite image, and they are shown in approximate true color.

miccodb: Mr Miccodb, Thanks for your prayers and I pray your health continues to improve. While I appreciate your personal account, I also have first hand experience about the much touted Indian healthcare. I'm not gonna go into details because it serves no purpose but suffice to say I don't share your glowing appraisal of the Indian hospitals/healthcare system. Now, when you said "whether you like it or not we may have doctors but not equipments or certified labs", I believe that is a dangerous blanket generalisation. The laparoscopy and Endoscopy (Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy) diagnosis/treatment (which r231 mentioned in an earlier post) can be performed at the Nigerian-Turkish Nizamiye hospital right there in Abuja which begs the question of "how much do Nigerians even know about their own country"?. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not against the idea of flying him to India or anywhere else for that matter if the eventual consensus opinion is that it is best option but to presuppose that flying him to India will miraculously heal him (like some people are alleging) is what I don't agree with. Like I said earlier, my intention is not make this another long-winding, back and forth argument. So, please consider this my last piece on the subject matter and if I don't reply your subsequent comments, it's not out of disrespect for your opinion. PEACE 2 Likes |

I don't intend to turn this to another long, back and forth argument thing. I guess my point is that nothing is "guaranteed" and India is not exactly the "modern medicine haven" that you are making it out to be either. When the consensus was that TEHN should take over the case, it means we all trust their judgements and so far, DJ is way much better and there's no evidence of a relapse. What more could we possibly wish for? SHALOM 6 Likes |
Health / Re: RIP DJDOLA- We Will Miss You by Santino1(m): 5:49pm On Jan 08, 2015 |
Please you guys should stop pushing this idea of flying him to India as if it's the "be all end all" solution. Thankfully, DJ has so far been responding to treatments according to recent reports from the TEHN folks. I'm sure they would have considered all the viable alternatives. Give Naija doctors a break please. 5 Likes |

Caleycash: Like I said in the earlier post you quoted, it's only the Migrationsamt that authorises whether a visa should be granted/denied. In case, you didn't understand my earlier post, below is how the process works: When you submit your visa application (and supporting documents) to the Embassy in Abuja, the embassy forwards your application to the Migrationsamt in Switzerland. The Migrationsamt in turn contacts your school to verify your admission claims (and sometimes requests for some documents that can only come from your school) and evaluates (based on the supporting documents you submitted) whether you are "able" (usually, financially) to successfully undertake the proposed study. It is based on this evaluation that they decide to grant/deny you a student visa. It is this decision that is transmitted to Abuja embassy where they print your visa and stick it to your passport (if granted) or otherwise. So, strictly speaking, the Abuja embassy is NOT authorised to grant/deny a visa application; such action is an exclusive preserve of the Migrationsamt. Good luck |

Kingsleypower: Yes, they do. However, Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW) has some courses that are exclusively in English (such as facility management) while others are both in German and English. In any case, a level C proficiency in English and German is usually required for most of the courses. As per questions asked, depends on the proposed course of study whether facility management or environmental engineering. Kingsleypower: Everything is possible or so they say. However, I must be honest with you, German is a very difficult language to learn. Throw in the added complication of everyone around you speaking Swiss German ( which is different from German, by the way), then you have a perfect recipe for frustration. |
Travel / Re: Students In Switzerland/ Nigerians Living In Switzerland, your Experiences Here! by Santino1(m): 2:38pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
Kingsleypower: From MSc level upward, all courses are taught in English (At least for ETH and University of Zurich). Hence, you are not required to speak any of those languages. It doesn't hurt if you learn one of them though. |

Health / Re: I Need Help by Santino1(m): 3:26pm On Nov 08, 2014 |
Just some clarifications: Is TEHN involved in this guy's case? I believe some of us would like to help out but do not operate a Nigerian account. Previously, Paypal was used by TEHN to achieve this goal. I have read through the entire pages and there is no indication whatsoever, I guess this is only for the Naija folks. 1 Like |
