If your wife is not moving with you immediately, you do not need to legalize anything. All you need is your passport, admission letter, bank statements etc

hikiki:

Pls can i stay after completing my study in Finland? How many years for PR? Job prospects in Finland? Can I move with my family?

Yes, you can stay after graduation.

damble:
Good morning family.... I am married, 35 years old, graduated in 2011 (philosophy) with 2.2

Presently, I am into confectionery and catering....


Please, what are my chances in Finland?

Do I need to change from philosophy to something else?

Please, what should I do?

I need GUIDANCE please

Hello,
You might not get a Master's degree course in Philosophy but in other courses and ur Cgpa is no obstacle.

Secondly, since you are a caterer in Nigeria, you can also take the Vocational route and apply to Vocational school to be a chef.
Thirdly, you can also apply to start a bachelors degree.
Finally, to be on the safe side, you can submit applications to all these options since application is free.

Best of luck.

Income requirement for students
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient financial resources for living in Finland. It is difficult for students to find jobs in Finland. When you apply for your first residence permit for studies, you cannot secure your income with work.

Before you arrive in Finland, make sure that you have enough funds for the entire time your studies will take. A residence permit for studies can be granted for two years, if you can prove that you have sufficient financial resources for your entire stay in Finland. You must have at least EUR 560 at your disposal every month to be able to pay for your accommodation, food and other needs. For a two-year stay, you must have EUR 13,440 at your disposal. If you only want the residence permit for one year at a time, you must have EUR 6,720 at your disposal in your own bank account. We will assess your means of income every time you submit an application to us. If necessary, we will ask you to submit additional documentation of the source of the assets.

Some educational institutions support their students’ residence in Finland. If the educational institution provides you with free accommodation, you need to have at least EUR 280 per month at your disposal. If the educational institution provides you with free accommodation and free meals, you need to have at least EUR 195 per month at your disposal.

When you are applying for an extended permit, you may secure your means of support with work. However, your work may not slow down your studies. Your studies must progress at a normal pace.

Yes it is possible to study with dependents but you have to show evidence of financial capability. For your two kids, you need to show 10,800 Euro minus money for your own upkeep and your spouse’s

Yes, you can study educational courses. You just have to be convincing in your motivational statements.

Thanks Prof for putting this in perspective for me. I am actually not applying to a specific advertised research project but was hoping to conduct research that can contribute to the development of the Nigerian education sector, now I realise why I have not been able to get a supervisor.

Thanks again.

wip7:
Firstly, I like to ask If you are applying for a specific, advertised research project, meaning the Ph.D. research project is already defined?

If the above is true; then your first point is to identify the supervisor that advertised the research topic and discuss your proposal informally to ensure it directly fits the intended interest and gain input on the scope, design, and feasibility of the proposal.


If the above is false, then I think this topic is very localized/nationalized if you are not applying for a specific, advertised Ph.D. research project.

For most of the supervisors like me; the first thing I check when I receive a Ph.D. research proposal is to check if the proposed research can be replicated/reproducible internationally or on a wider scale using the same input parameters. Will I be able to publish the results, observations, and trends in the research and making it reusable by almost anybody in another clime? If such a proposal does not fit this then I don't consider it.
You are going to Finland, your potential supervisor possibly a Finnish person and likely no nothing about Nigeria, and the government likely, not interested in funding such, also, during the Jury they may need to bring in many members that are conversant with your work to query your methods, results which becomes problematic etc.

Do you want to study a Ph.D. program for 3 to 5 years on the Nigerian Government’s Covid-19 Education Intervention?

In my opinion, you may consider changing your topic to something like "E-Learning and M-learning in a Developing Country: Implementation, Challenges, and Advances" This topic is not localized to Nigeria, the situation in Nigeria when it comes to e-learning is very similar to those in Burundi, Colombia, Chile, Kenya, Lebanon, Ghana etc......meaning your results, methods, observation, and recommendation will be very useful in these developing nations.

Also, any investor thinking of venturing into the e-learning business in these regions will find your work valuable, and also you stand a greater chance of being cited more than the earlier topic you proposed. It is possible for you to collaborate with key people in some of the countries you will get data from, understand their key challenges and your Ph.D. studies may find solutions to improving or solving these challenges...


That's my opinion..........!!

Best wishes

Hello Prof and colleagues,

Compliment of the season to everyone. Thanks for the contributions on this thread. I would appreciate if @wip7 and any other senior colleagues could look at my research proposal so as to guide me in the right direction. I am hoping to secure Doctoral place (Education) in Finland or Estonian. My topic is; E-Learning and Educational Administration in Nigeria Secondary Schools: A Study of the Nigerian Government’s Covid-19 Education Intervention.

Thanks again.

Greetings

I have learned a lot from this thread, am opportune to read about the research areas of aspiring researchers and established academics here.

Thank you all for contributing to this thread even during this challenging period. Meanwhile, I’ve learned that together we can support the research community, teach others to grow and nothing can stop us if we are determined to self-develop. I hope you have a joyous holiday season, and a very healthy and successful 2021.-----WIP7

Because they value MONEY above everything... So they have no problem abandoning their family to go chase some whatever, far away from their family. I fully understand why such desperate woman fall prey to men.

HI, I am thinking of visiting the Nigeria embassy in Greece to renew my Passport in August, I will appreciate your advice on the functionality of the embassy in Greece.

DiMComJour:
Hello fellas, nice to be back with you here, I hope you are all doing great.

Obviously, you might have observed that I chose to ignore questions that have been posted following my previous posts. It is deliberate and this is simply because those questions have no correlation to my posts.

So, let's move on...

But first, I need inform those interested in the masters program that I am currently a postgraduate student of The School of Journalism and Mass Communications of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. I am from the Southwest of Nigeria, the area people call Yorubaland. I am not the only African in the masters program, there is also a lady from one of the East African countries and you might be meeting her here soon.

I mentioned the above to let you in, briefly into the identity of the one behind this thread on the MA in Digital Media, Communication and Journalism.

Uniqueness of the School/ Program:
  
*Among the top 50 Media/Communication Schools in Europe
*The program integrates students' study, skills, and projects to match the needs of the real world
*Taught entirely in the English language
*It's cost-effectiveness - Low tuition fee (including relatively low cost of living in Thessaloniki)
*Availability of detailed information about the program on its website 
*A simplified online application process
*Highly competent professors

I prefer female sir.

I would like address this WhatsApp group of a thing, it seem people are being asked to pay in order to be helped book appointment. I think this is an Avenue to rip people of their hard-earned money. The Finnish RP processing is more transparent than that. And that is not why this thread was created. Everyone made it across through a transparent process and by doing it themselves. Please beware of whatever cannot be discussed on this platform. God bless our hustle.

OK bro. I want to study international business administration in Lapland university of applied science. They requested for something like upper secondary school transcript . am not talking about MSC application, I mean Bsc application. How do I get that secondary school transcript? Or when you applied, you didn't use it, but WAEC

Pls check the admission requirement for international students. But, you might need to take an admission examination somewhere in Kenya.

Time2win:
To study B.Sc or Msc? How many do you know that you are saying alot of people

I know quite a number at the University of Lapland

Time2win:
Lol schooling in finland is not the issue but battling with visa officer to approve your permit is the hurdle. Do you think it will be easy to convince them that you are going for B.Sc at 34yrs?

This is ignorance talking bro. A lot of people in that age bracket enter Finland to study. Stop discouraging people with unsubstantiable assertions.

Bro, there is secondary school transcript. check the requirements again

You can get admission at the Masters level with your degree. What courses are you looking at?

Herodutus:
Please I beg you all in the name of God. I have a question and I would appreciate it very much if a kind hearted Nigerian here attempt to answer my question.
Am considering either going for MSC in Finland or another B.sc. Am already a graduate with a cgpa of 3.60 .
My question is. From the requirements I saw on that site, if you want to apply for msc, you should have an evidence of working in a managerial position for at least 3 years, excluding your transcript. Is there any way around this rule , for those who have passed through this stage.
Second, aside having a WAEC cert, I also saw from that site that you will need to present your upper secondary school TRANSCRIPT. this got me thinking. Is there anything like a transcript in our secondary schools here in Nigeria ?
Hose that have applied before, did you guys use only WAec or you added the secondary school transcript ?
I hope you got my questions?
The 3 years working experience proof the require for my MSC is what I don't know how to go about it. That's why I want to leave it for another Bsc. Now in the Bsc they also seek a transcript ...
I need your helps plz.

Herodutus:
Please can someone who has applied for this Finnish program before send me his phone number so I can call the person. Av got some questions to ask. I hanks

Do ask the questions here so that others can benefit.
