Go for human Geography (University of Oslo) instead

thanks for your input

But is there a reason why we should opted for human Geography instead of the initial course we intend to put in for

Do you also consider the course prospects in relation to job opportunities?

Thanks!

aurorae1:
No to the PGD result, as it's the bachelor's degree that matters when applying for masters.
As for his 2.7 CGPA, this translates to a 3rd class, and most Norwegian universities ask for a Grade "C" at least, so it will be difficult to gain admission with it. He may try some schools, especially with non- competitive courses, but I personally wouldn't bank on it. Just being realistic.

Let others weigh in.

please what's the chances of someone with 3.48 cgpa?

isetoluwase:
Good day all. I just got admission into UiS for masters in City and regional planning. I actually wanted to study construction management but that was the only course available that is related to my first degree (Architecture). Pls gurus in d house, what's the job prospect for international students after this degree

congratulations bro!

Please i and my friend plan to apply to same school and course, we both studied Geography and planning as degree

My CGPA is 4. 20/5
His own is 3.48

Please what's our chances to be considered for admission?

Does our course related or match with city and Regional Planning?

Thanks in anticipation!

Arinze001:
There's hope. Professional certs are not really asked. It depends on what the said school requested.

As you said, the proposed MSC programme is akin to what he did as an undergrad. He should scale through. Someone that had a 2.95 cgpa got accepted last month. Baba dey JP now lol

Tell him to apply to numerous schools.

Skól!

interesting!

That guy must be truly lucky

Which course and school does he got the admission?

Arinze001:
Your cgpa is attractive. It will definitely fetch you admission offers.

Apply for a course you did as an undergrad.

God help us!

thanks very much bro!

A friend also had 3.48cgpa/5.0 with a 3 years professional certificate related to his first degree and the intending master degree

Please does he have any chance?

Thanks!

Sir, I'm sorry to say this, we are the ones suffering ourselves. Is school not supposed to be a normal thing? Go to the north and see how they beg people to come to school.
They organize test as though they don't welcome bribe.

Yes you are right, the northerners are not too educational inclined. They don't like going to school. Though not all, but the rate of uneducated fellow up north is much more higher than that of the south


They tried to come up with different things that will encourage them just to get them enroll, most of those social and humanitarian empowerment are solely to help push them to school and support them all

But down south, almost everybody want to go to school, unfortunately the school can't admit all because each school has a carrying capacity

Therefore, they are left with no other choice than to scrutinise them to get what they want

Historically, i learnt UI was the first school to come up with the idea of writing post-utme

This happened when some students with all distinctions wasn't able to live up to expectation!

Note that it was just an oral interview then after jamb, not necessarily a written postutme

After such horrible experience, the school management decided to use jamb and postutme, i think their postutme has a higher percentage than that of jamb

They concluded that students cheat easily with olevel exams just to get a better grade (special center) they assume no special centers in jamb CBT and post jamb.

I hope you get that clearly now?

oakslid:
Competitions are high these days, depending on the university of your choice, you'll need minimum of 75% CGPA. For the top schools, may be 80% and above. University of Tromso accepts First Class Student only (for some courses am aware of). It will do no harm to send mail to the corresponding universities.

sorry please, which schools would you recommend for someone with 4.20CGPA/5.0?

Thanks in anticipation!

Secondly I am a final year student in Lagos State University studying Insurance. I want to further in my education by going to the University of Oslo for a course in Entrepreneurship or Stochastic and risk management. Although Risk management is very related to my course of study. I will be graduating with a cgpa of 3.90 by the grace of God. I have been doing petty petty research and I want anyone that wants to apply for the admission when it opens in October to make us work together so we can achieve our dreams.. I might even forfeit NYSC, because I can't serve a country that hasn't served me. Please let us hook up good people, and if creating a whatsapp group would be okay please early preparation prevents failure. God bless us all. Do we still have statflux here? Make una help us oooo

my fellow lasuite! Please have you been able to secure admission? If yes, which school? If no, are you still on it or you've considered something else?

Thanks in anticipation!

Kunilefo:
Not yet still making plans..
2.2 can get admitted these are some tips

1. Write ielts
2. Apply for courses similar to your first degree
3. Apply to all schools
4. Be steadfast and prayerful
Goodluck

Thanks a lot for your swift response

I thought not all schools requested for IELTS as part of their requirements?

Are you saying a 2.2 product should write IELTS irrespective of the school just as a backup to complement the class of Degree?

Thanks!

Florence2021:
I was about to ask too

not in UI, university of ibadan assume most students cheat to get their waec grade. Therefore, they don't use that to determine their point of entry mode

They rather set their test, come and prove yourself if truly you worth those distinction you carry up and down in your olevel result

You choose what you want to believe on how rotten or irredeemable the country is. I am not perfect neither am I holy but when I know this is the right thing, I will do my best to stick by it.
Over 100million people go to church or mosque everyday in Nigeria (yourself inclusive) but it's a shame that we still find ways to justify our wickedness, crookedness and hypocrisy. If this is who you are and what you believe, then you lack every moral right to castigate any Nigerian politician or leader cos in actual fact, if you are there, you will do likewise.

Absolutely, i can't agree less!

Because the system is messed up then you felt the best you can do is to futher mess it up

This is what i do call BLACK MAN MENTALITY

They worship money alot!

zeeace:
that is what they will tell you, till you reach 5 years for house, No job. then you will know that wishes are nothing but castles in the air.

LMAO�... People with different promises

Abigarnics01:
1. Birtish American Tobacco as a Customer service officer.
2. IITA as a researcher cause I have a degree in Animal and Environmental Biology.
3. US, Canadian or any international embassy as an Administrative officer or Customer service officer.
4. UN, WHO and any other worthy organizations that can give me positive exposure and career advancement .

But for now, I am praying for Baba God to pick my call for the 2 recent interviews I attended this week at 2 reputable organisations in Ibadan. I will come and share my testimony, Amen .

God will answer your prayers!

the Africans ideology you plan to inculcate into your children won't take them to heaven either!

Gerrard59:
If your discipline is STEM inclined, write the GRE and follow the steps to japa.

P.S. Please check the GRE thread on Nairaland. Search for it (you will be required to conduct your own research about everything in this journey).

Alright, thanks!

Mist100:
Please I need mature responses only.

I have been married for 5 years with 2 beautiful kids. During this period the marriage has been bumpy as most relationships. I noticed our approach to problems and seeking solutions are completely different hence the many disagreements. I like to plan whilst she is spontaneous.

But in the last 2 years my wife introduced a new twist. During major disagreements she would usually say she had big and classy dudes around her but she chose me. She would infer our difference in status by saying several friends wondered why she was marrying me. Currently I work and take care of all our bills whilst she is trying to start a business.

2 years ago My mum got our daughter Ankara clothes which my wife refused to dress my daughter with saying they were oversize. Months after I asked her for the clothes she said she gave them out because they weren't nice. I was so angry but kept my calm to avoid another altercation.

Everything seem calm now but I have made up my mind to discuss we taking breaks away from the marriage. This will allow us re-evaluate our expectations and realities. I honestly want out of the marriage but don't want to sound too hasty.

I want to spend the next 5 years and more in bliss and peace but wonder if my reaction is too extreme.

Thanks

Yes you are too extreme, take a chill pill!

Klass99:
Dem use marriage swear for us in Africa?

What exactly is there to salvage?

I took an Uber ride last week Saturday and while I was in the car, the radio was tuned to a station with an interesting topic on marriage/domestic violence.

The guest speaker narrated how a woman came to him to say, you were right all along. She had been praying and fasting for years that her husband would change or God would change her husband and it never happened for the 20+ years she was married to him.

I think the lady is 50 years old now and she decided she was done. She wanted out and wanted to just do something as service to humanity and God.

I think 99.3 was the radio station. I asked the Uber driver if he knew the title of the program or the guest speaker's name but he said no. He told me the program runs every Saturday though on that station. I had reached my destination and couldn't continue listening but what I heard alone made an impact on me.

So, let redirect your question to you. Is the marriage worth salvaging?

Not just women, even the so called men sees marriage as a yardstick to success

They have this mentality of if you don't get married you are half dead

ednut1:
this is 2021 not 2002. Ways to go abroad legally are not easy any more. Best bet is study or permanent residency. Those things have lots of requirements and costs money. No one from Nairaland go fit help you.

How best can someone travel through study route?

I'm a fresh graduate who came out top of his class

I sincerely wish to leave this country to a much better place for greener pastures, as naija seems to have very little or no prospect.

thanks in anticipation!

Labadi69:
The people wey dey get first class and 2’1 for the same Naija, how many head them get?

help me ask am o!

Kendyrich:
It is not possible for them to go back to 200L.
The students can only remain stagnant in their current levels until the departments are accredited before they graduate. I am speaking from experience

they can also be transferred to other schools with full accreditation, though they will have to start from 300 level


Being stagnant might not be the best option, who knows how long it will take for NUC to do the needful

flavnwokem:
Why will the former VC admit students for courses not accredited? And if the current VC allow them to graduate will their certificate be accepted ? And will the NYSC recognise them cos officially such courses started existing 2 years ago in that institution ,that is the questions we all need to ask not abusing the current VC .

they only have two options

They either obey the VC, go back to 200 level and hopefully graduated with certificate and get mobilized for nysc

Or

Get transferred to another school whose courses had full accreditation, but they will have to start from 300 level

The VC even like them that's why she gave them an offer, if she decides to keep mute and they graduate with no certificate and can't go for nysc that is when they will know wotsup
