emmanuelkim:
Hellooooooooooo Dahonestbest and the best guys in this room, please i am really interested in Finland programme, i wanted to apply for undergraduate, but my chance was slow them since the 20 schools i contacted told me that the only place to write the international exam was in Kenya, i have decided to do my masters.

I studied Agricultural Science Education, graduated 2010, got my result in 2012, i want to apply for Education Administration or Agro related course, please how do go about it, please i need advice, this / next year must not pass me by, i have already written the IELTS exam where i score 6.0. please i need advice on the process

Thanks

bumitek02:

Thanks all

adebasket97:
No probs man.

yes you will buy scratch card at waec office and add it to your documents. i think i added the copy of my passport and went there with my passport. seriously i cant remember right now but it doesnt make much difference. they wont do anything on your document before you go there. they will only treat it that day. but chill till its that time, the embassy will send you an email and you will see all the details needed there

adebasket97:
Thanks man....I saw one other thing, we are to submit all our original docs two weeks prior to interview.it was stated in a list I saw that we should submit our international passport with it BUT it was stated again that we must present our international passport on arrival at the embassy. Also, we need a result checking card..seems we gotta contact waec for that abi how person go get am......watz up on that.

well i dunno. me i didnt have that problem. just saying why a guy was denied

bumitek02:
but I think if the age didn't tally the person need to add court affidavit with the waec if it really his or her result

u will only need it when applying for your residence permit. make sure the age on it tally with your passport and all, a guy was denied cuz of that

adebasket97:
I don't think so.

yes they asked me about my bachelor thesis nah. the one i did in nigeria..

billydragon:
thanks boss. i tot bachelor thesis are for undergraduate not masters or did u mean your final year project here in naija? abeg no vex say ma question 2 much o.... me sef go prefer phone interview

send me a private message. imma get it [quote author=obiaguna post=28078419][/quote]

well i really dunno but i suggest you google the courses and check for the interview pattern.. mine was about my bachelor thesis and some questions like that sha.. and yes the interview was either through phone or skype but i chose phone because i no trust 9ja internet

billydragon:
boss, pls what are the likely question they ask during interview and Did they conduct the interview through d phone? I will b applying to 2 programmes in uni of oulu and they both require interview. Thanks

yes i know guys with 2.2. haven't seen anyone with third class though. your result isnt the only criteria, if you have first class and get 6 in ielts, you are not going anywhere and in case of my own department, we had an interview and even if you meet all the criteria and fail the interview, you are still out. your first degree will only be used when there are so many qualified applicants. Thats why its advisable to apply to many schools/courses

elemzbaba:
Are there schools with a track record of admitting students with low cgpa's. Do you know anybody that has been admitted with a third or second class lower? No vex say my question plenty.

lol. register on funmina nah.. shdnt take more than 3 mins. ofcourse its not to early. and sometimes the transcripts might take longer to be posted. i suggest you get the postman's number so u can always keep track. mine took 4 days to get to finland after it was posted but it took more than 3 weeks before it was posted. u dig?

adebasket97:
I will be sending applying for mine nextweek and it should get to finland within 2-3weeks....

@sirkezman, hope its not too early cos I have not registered on funima o

let him apply, even 3rd class can apply. you never can tell

ooluseyipa:
I am still on it,bt am busy for now.will do dat in dec,since dec is wen d application is starts fully.
@adebasket and oda NL in finland,pls Wats d chance of smebody dat ve 2.50 cgpa?i have a friend with dt cgpa,n I told him not to apply.do 2nd class lower ve a chance?

says who? dont discourage anybody nah. if they see you are qualified, they will give you

bestsolutionict:
No think am oooooO...a fish will swim on land b4 finnish embassy will give u visa for entrance exam.

still need*

Mickyboiz:
ok bro , bt i stil needs ur P. questions. Tanx

where your sponsor is doesnt matter. the most important thing is to get the funds in your account, get the sponsors statement of acct, and his proof of employment. then you are good to go

abbeyseto1:
Thanks a lot for the replies.

How likely will I be able to get RP, if my sponsor is in another country , say USA.

And how will I proof the genuinity of the money if my funds came multiple sources.

ok chill, they will contact you soon

bestsolutionict:
Present status is on "being processed" and it has been there since 3rd of october 2014

finland is in northern europe. the 3 transcripts was packaged together in one big envelope so i only paid for one posting instead of in 3 places. you will only write your application number on the envelopes you are sending yourself..and not the one the school is sending..

timyoghurt:
abeg how did you go about spending 14 k for 3 transcripts(I must say you are lucky) I wish UNILAG's transcript can be very easy and cheap too.
I tot you have to write your online registration number on the envelope.
and my last question please is Finland in western Europe or eastern europe ? because UNILAG has different prices for the transcript processing fee for different parts of Europe

what is the status on your migri account now? and since when has it been on the present status?

bestsolutionict:
I did online bro...the site shows they are treating family ties and somalis application......does that mean dey will not treat student for now?]

when did u visit the embassy? is it a paper or online interview? you should always check migri site to know the application they are treating. mine took just 1 month to get my permit card

bestsolutionict:
boss...abeg...do u have an idea of what could be delaying my RP, I av don d interview since late september and october don pass now...them never say anytin...do u av an idea of what could be delaying me...also...do u know any1 still around waiting for response from migri....I submitted all d rqd docs...even up till now, dey didn't ask for supplement...am getting worried as e don pass 1month now and they haven't communicated to me...pls I just need info on what u think could be wrong...

lol i never see a black getting a professional job here. even the menial jobs are hard to come by
May God help us

twaintoy:
I read it too but not to the end, its very discouraging. I wonder how they will grow.

no. transcript posting no concern registrar. you only pay to the school for processing, like my own school na another ppl de for posting. so na to just talk to that one since na inside one envelope he go de. like three transcripts in different envelopes inside one big envelope and they used TNT then. 50k too much o. dont dull

adebasket97:
Am paying 10k per one bro..x 5...that's 50bar. but wetin dy pain me pass na say na thag my registrar go chop am, and if I may ask, what fees do your school charge for sending 1 transcript abroad by courier (my school doesn't use nipost o)

LOL. 9ja guys sha. it doesnt actually make much difference getting multiple transcripts. l spent a total of 14k or there about to get my 3 transcripts to finland and it would have cost around 9k or so if i needed only one. also since it will be sent from your school, UAF do not expect your registration number to be written on the envelope. and i doubt if your school will want to make photocopies for you... except if na your uncle/family member de handle the process

Inufele1:
Na so o bro. Just thinking about the paying for multiple copies of transcripts. Instead, why not request for 1 copy and ask them to make coloured photocopies(as many copies as you need) that are as good as original copy. You can envelope each with your registration number written on them. Since its going to be sent by your school, UAF should accept it. Just saying... Dont know what elders think?

the school sent it. sent 3 copies.

adebasket97:
Did you send it by yourself or your school sent it?

i think u r wrong. i think u r expected to send transcripts for each course you are applying to. like i sent 3 transcripts because i applied to 3 courses. see this info i got on the FAQ

Please note that when applying, you must submit as many sets of officially certified educational documents as there are programmes you are applying to, i.e. a separate set of documents for each programme.

adebasket97:
NOTE: We are required to send our Transcript from our School once to UAF "even if you're applying for more than one course'

someone asked me about this through email.

@bunmie and sirkezman hope am right o

ok. i am nt in the helsinki province.. other people can answer you

ganasy:
closest station to my place is Malminkartona. my campus is at Agricolankatu. (Helsinki)

where in finland are you?

ganasy:
Hello everyone. As I said before, have arrived Finland for my exchange semester. Can someone suggest to me places to catch fun? clubs, lounges, or partys. also which church possibly with nigerians. thanks

20-25 as stipulated on their site.. but they no really send.. if u like u fit work as many hrs as ur job permits

haychPee:
Pls bro...how many hours can one work as a student in a day/week/month? Thanks
Safe!

yes. just as Bunmiemich said

adebasket97:
Thanks sirkezman...........

one question on application issue

Am applying for like 5courses, and sure I am to send each application in different parcels, Making 5parcels. Can I gather this 5parcels in 1 big envelope? Since am sending to the same UAF address. As that will reduce cost of sending through DHL.....Or how did you do yours

sure. if you get a job, depending on the hours. using an average of 8euro per hour, it shd be enough to renew and abt the skills u mentioned, i dont really know so i wont say anything abt that. any type of job can be used to change status

jeffoe:
what of casual/menial job that can provide u with that 560 Eur per month to renew your papers are they also difficult to come by
what of if someone has a skill e.g barbing, driving etc would it improve there chance of generating personal income.
just don't want to get stranded there.
some previous posters in previous post said understanding there language and being closer to the city would make getting a part time job LESS difficult.
can this part time job be used to change one visa status. if a professional job doesn't come by.
