Good evening guru himself, I just stumped on the thread and I have been reading it since morning, by God's grace I will be in Germany this year for my Msc in applied Geoscience at RWTH Aachen University,Germany.
Normally Germany gives you 18 months to look for jobs related to your course and immediately you get one, your road to permanent residency just got activated.
From the information I get, getting a professional job after Msc ain't easy, that's why I have started learning their language online while in Nigeria and I plan going into IT field in order not to carry all my eggs in one basket.
Which of these IT field is needed in Europe and won't be hard to learn?
I am contemplating going into networking as I have no experience in programming and really, it appears so boring to me

Well as for ranking, yes their schools aren't so high in the world university rankings. Norway is not a strong manufacturing or research country compared to other countries in Europe and Asia. They are majorly into oil and gas (lng) production. Then I think Fisheries. Going there for anything other than an oil and gas related course I am not so sure. Yes its one of the most beautiful countries in the world, def in top 10, but don't know what their tourist number count is, I'm sure you can google it. Just think of your plans after school and in my opinion since you want to be in tourism, take the language seriously when you get there.

Thanks a lot for your response
It'll def guide my further research

Hello fam
I really appreciate what y'all are doing here.
It's pretty amazing and there's a lot of information on here




Please, I need some advise... though this may not be the best thread for this but I believe I can get some advise from more experienced people here.


After all my enquiries, I've decided to settle for Norway..

I'm a photographer... interested in tourism and documentary
I have an interest in taking an MSc in Tourism
I have a Choice between University of Stavanger (MSc International Hospitality and Management) and UIT Arctic University of Norway....in Trømso (MSc Tourism studies)
UIT ranks higher than Uis
Both curriculums are good

As much as they're both tuition free
I'll still have to deal with my living expenses


Like... transportation, accommodation, feeding, electricity bills, etc.



From my findings, accommodation is easier to get in Stavanger
Transportation...there are more options (bus, train, ferry, air)
Things are cheaper there
Uis is ranked 1151 in the world


But Trømso
UIT is ranked 505 or so
Fewer transportation options
Not sure about accommodation
More tourist sites to behold

So... Trømso has a better ranked university and more fun things to do with fewer transportation routes to get to neighbouring countries when compared to Stavanger


While Stavanger has Uis with a lesser ranking but cheaper cost of living (accommodation, transportation, food)

So please, is there anyone that has some experience living in trømso and/or Stavanger that can advise me on the way to go?

Even if you don't have a direct experience, I'd appreciate your ideas


Thanks

Just popping in to say I'm glad to see this thread still going. I still get a lot of PMs regarding studies in Norway, but the truth is that there are too many for me to actually reply to (I actually tried making a new thread in the past with all info on the front page, but it was locked. It's really a hassle having to dig through all the pages in this thread). At the moment I attend UiB, so if anyone's heading that way (or any other matter), reply to this post and I'll be happy to help you all out.

I'll also be more active on NL from now on. Good luck to every one.

Please I have my own questions now and I kindly need answers too from my people , and here they are:

1) I have been saving money every month since I started working when I arrived this country to my Diamondbank account in Nigeria, and I operated this account as a student, my question is this: How do I know the limit on this account? Also, by my projections it could swell too much for a student account, abeg I hope say these my project money dey safe?

2) Also does the merger with access bank affect anything? Do I need to do anything wrt this?

3) Can I install the Fidelity Bank App and start using it like I use my Diamondbank here? Can someone help me with a screenshot of how it looks like? I use iOS too... My Nigerian sim gets SMS here so getting codes nor be wahala



Kindly note that I have researched online about these but I need on the ground answers, let me know what I’m doing here...

Basically, the student account has a limit on the amount you can withdraw per transaction and/or per day
Based on the deposit, your deposit are safe I believe



You'll have to upgrade the student account to a standard account with a valid ID (your international passport can serve) and utility bill (like NEPA).


SO, WHEneVER YOU TOUCH DOWN, you can approach your bank and you'll be properly guided.


Hope this helps

Hallo leute (Hello guys)

I noticed that there is no single thread about learning Deutsch(german) so i start this thread to help nairalanders who are willing to learn German for the sake of traveling to Germany and also those who loves the language naturally.

I have been on this platform (nairaland) for some years now. Teaching people some German basics is my small way of saying THANK YOU Seun because all the things i know about traveling stuff was acquired from this great platform(nairaland)


Those who know me here on nairaland know that i have a deep appreciation for everything related to Germanic countries most especially GERMANY, my number one country

I'm present sir
Thank you so much for this initiative.

I hope we all get there someday.

Hadampson:
Concerning the language matter

@Gerardmajella you can check my thread to start learning German


Besten wünsche

Okay boss
Guten ..... Ermmmmm...... morning

ibrahimovic303:


Start learning German now that you’re still in Nigeria, so that when you’re in Germany, you will skip the basics and find your feet faster, language is a powerful tool for a black man in Europe to use to unsettle the white man! Why? Because we have too much sense as Nigerians, so I hope you understand what I’m saying?

Yes boss. I do

Well done

A mail was sent to a Uni in Norway concerning this and they said they don't have the time and capacity to evaluate prospective students (people way never even apply)

They said man should apply first.

As I see am, I weak

ibrahimovic303:



Begin your hunting from daad dot de......I wrote it that way to avoid suspension. Anyway, we gatz dey fired up always, and believe that everything is possible....if possible, start building your social media page already now while in Naija! Take interesting Naija photos and flood your page, go to villages and post our cultural stuffs, thick beautiful Naija babes fetching water from streams, etc etc...trust me this would be worth gold when you head to Germany....Europeans are always fascinated by Nigerian and African things....I have a lady in Germany asking asking me when I will be going to Nigeria next so she can see how Lagos and Nigeria feels like ....For my mind, I say this one nor just know wetin dey pain am oh... Learn German too!!! It would be a dazzler and further set you apart from others in your hustle field....As for your Bsc thing, it is a little tricky because Msc admissions are usually based on Bsc degrees...Do you have any work experience via Marketing? Because even GNLD matters for Naija fit help unto packaging matterz ....sha add one plus one to wetin I just write Nor be my mouth you go hear say police dey wear black berret las las

Thanks boss.
I'll start building and growing my social media pages.

And of course, fill them up with pictures about Nigeria
Well, I have no official experience in marketing.
Though I've been involved 1/2 network marketing schemes

I pray there would be a way for me and everyone that's experiencing this challenge.


As for the language, I'll make preparations to learn it equally

Hahahahaha....you na sharp man

Thanks boss

I will advise you settle in Germany, it’s a powerhouse like you rightly said..So, while studying you will always have Summer jobs to work your ass off to save funds for school, and with your contracts from jobs you can renew your stay, then you cannot drop your photography dream for anything, as a matter of fact, it is one’s side hustle that will make you wealthy here oh, you will understand better when you land...Germany Certificate of course is powerful and highly respected too, just like other EU member states...Germany is not UK that is out for your money, after your school, you will submit your contract of Work and get an extension permit...

PS: If you are a social media influencer, you will have an edge with your photography skills for your side hustle, taking breathtaking photos and putting on IG, Twitter etc...And you can always travel on cheap ryanair flights across EU states during free periods off work, chasing the dream and securing the bag

A challenge I'm facing now is
My B.Sc degree in political science and I want to study Marketing (M.Sc) which is not a related discipline.

Most universities (both in Norway and Germany) I've checked require a related degree


I really don't know how to navigate through this

Please, you know anyone that has passed through this?
Any suggestion please?

ibrahimovic303:

You may not know how much encouragement this is to me.

I'd start my search for a good university where I can study Marketing. I'd appreciate if you can recommend any
And I'll need to reach out to my Nigerian brethren o'er there

My photography no fit die by God's grace. And I'll have to start learning the language and also work on my social media pages
Thanks so much boss

ibrahimovic303:


You can survive anyway, but be prepared to spend a reasonable chunk of your funds before getting the menial jobs to suffix...Whatever happens, there are Nigerians there who have survived so why can’t you survive? At least you even have the initial funds (blocked)....so you should be good to go

The block account na basic requirement for admission...so as you've said, I believe it'll go a long way


As long as there are Nigerians that have survived, by God's grace, man will make it.

Thanks for your response and encouragement

ibrahimovic303:
Chaii my people here oh make una nor vex...I go dedicate from this evening till weekend to address every mention here and comments plus I dey go boat cruise via viking Liner to Stockholm so photos go flood here this weekend ni...Thanks for your well wishes I’m fine, na just hustle and school as usual...I hail my people

Well done boss
Things go dey stew.
Look forward to seeing the pictures

Hadampson:




If you ask me, i would advice you choose Germany. Norway and Germany are great countries but I would definitely pick Germany anytime anyday


Reason :

1) Easier to make friends, German are a little more sociable (not all of them) than Norwegians.Talking from my own perspective. I have met alot online and i can tell you germans are more sociable than Norwegians

2) You have access to more jobs and opportunities in Germany, the economic powerhouse of Europe

You have access to large market. Bigger country, bigger opportunities

3) Germany is my dream country, hence my biased opinion

Having said that, Germany is a good country to study science/math/engineering courses but since your course is under humanities, i would suggest you choose Norway.

Just be prepared for their depressing dark winter.

Well, as a Nigerian that won't be a problem because the problems we face here is more than that.

You like Germany well well ooo.
I guess you're in the sciences too.
Thank you for your input and the time you spent to type .

Much appreciated

Hadampson:




Wrong. You don't need to go to Goethe institute before you can apply. Although there are some courses like medicine, aerospace engineering and law just to mention a few that requires a good knowledge of German before you can apply.


As for insufficient information, help yourself here

Bros DONT MOVE TO NORWAY WITHOUT ENOUGH FUNDS.
About getting menial jobs:
You can only get a job, after you have learn Norsk(Norwegian).
Job Market in Norway:
Norway job market is highly educated. I am talking of a job market where 85% have at least Bsc and 35% have a Masters, so getting a job will be intense.
Be prepared before you fly to Norway.

The basic funds I need as I learnt is NOK 116 369
I responded to the comment before yours stating that there are little jobs one can get without a full knowledge of Norwegian...

Though I plan to start learning Norwegian before leaving




I'm with the comments about Norway, I'm beginning to get worried....the emphasis on funds and expenses and the high cost of living

olioxx:

.
.
Bro if you have a knack for German(High German), you can go to Germany. If you can speak and understand German, I think you will be fine. And Germans are not that reserved ooo, just start with "Guten Tag" all other things will follow. One thing I notice about Germans is that they want you to love their country + learn and love their language + love them for who they are + accept their culture + be productive in the country, once you can do all these, they will love you to pieces.
Regarding Norway, oboi I dey eye that country no be small. But that country is EXPENSIVE. Before you enter Norway, have at least $15000 for up keep for 5 month, whether you have scholarship or not, very important is to learn the language oo, yes 91% of Norwegians speaks English, but Norwegians are SHY to speak English, learn about how to deal with cold and depression. Norway is cold and depressing, Midnight sun and Darkness go just depress you. If you have SAD(seasonal affective disorder) stay away from Norway.
How do I know all of these, I have friends on social media who are in these countries.
But las las, Norway for the WIN.

Good afternoon. I really appreciate your input


Concerning the abroad plan (choice between Norway and Germany)..
I'm going there primarily for study (M.Sc Marketing). Not necessarily relocation
Mind you....all universities there (Norway) are state-owned thus, tuition free for both EU/EEA and International students... irrespective of your nationality.


In Norway, everyone is required to have at least NOK 116 369 which when converted to NGN is #4.8m approximately #5m
I calculated the cost for Germany too...it's About #4m


Thats for the block account oo...it can take care of accommodation, feeding and transportation for a while

I don't know how long though
Which means....with this fund, I'll be able to survive as a student in Norway since all schools are tuition free

But of course, I'll have to look out for menial jobs... To add to what I have
I learnt there are some jobs you can take that doesn't require you to understand Norwegian fully (restaurant, hotel, etc).

Jobs that require a good knowledge of Norwegian are corporate jobs

Though I plan to start learning the language (the basics atleast) for now... referring to Norwegian



So....the cost is almost same (Norway and Germany) as per block account.
I'm not sure if all schools in Germany are tuition-free. I know some are.

But the information is not really clear



I'm really not comfortable with Germany.... because I don't have sufficient information (that's why I'm asking)
I learnt one has to go through Goethe Institute first...but it's not same for Norwegian

Braket:

You can still make money with your Photography skills in Germany. Just find yourself in big cities and socialize well and make use of the social media platform. I believe something will come out of it from you.

Thanks for your input
I appreciate it
I'll consider what you said about social media...

ibrahimovic303:
Sorry guys...had been blown away with school assignments + Work and side hustles matters, but I’m a little free now at least from school stuffs so I can attend to your queries as always

On another note...I really admire what you're doing
I plan to do this one a bigger scale with my photography skill


Get active here equally
Then create a blog to equip people with useful information


So....my intention of going out isn't for just personal reasons
I wan help people too

Cookee:




Being expensive, does it mean guys studying dia won't be able to get job that could pay dia tuition and maintenance fee..
Is it dat u can't get normal unskilled job dag could pay heavily dia as a student? ??

A lot of people are saying studying and living in Norway is expensive ��



Is it that an international student (who has a block account) cannot manage the funds, get a menial and survive there while studying please?

Referring to M.Sc students

ibrahimovic303:
Sorry guys...had been blown away with school assignments + Work and side hustles matters, but I’m a little free now at least from school stuffs so I can attend to your queries as always

Big boss...I hail oo
Been reading from the first page up until now


May God continually open doors for you jaree
I really appreciate your commitment And the vital information you put out here for the benefit of every reader....



I have a B.Sc in Political Science, I'm a skilled photographer but I want to do my masters in Marketing. Because I'm passionate about business. Hustle na the 411
I've not served yet
I plan to write PTE (PEARSON'S TEST OF ENGLISH) soon


I've considered a lot of options.... UK, US, Canada, Australia (the big places) but their tuition dey scare me
I also considered applying for scholarships and all too but i really don't know much about how to do that

I've checked out a couple of scholarship options... already reached out to some universities and they were offering 30-50% off but, omo...the remaining millions ��

I finally resorted to settle down for tuition free countries... Germany, Norway (learnt Finland stopped being tuition free).


I like Germany but I don't think they're sociable. I learnt that they're so reserved...their language and all. I think that maybe a problem
Free tuition
Yes...the German economy is the largest in Europe.
They use euros and the cost of living maybe lower than Norway. And of course, they're part of the Schengen agreement.
The opportunities there are more for engineers and serious career people which my career no fall in for (photography and Marketing/business)

Norway...they use Norwegian Krone which is way less in value than the Euro (they're not in the European union)
Free tuition
I learnt they're more friendly and have more fun stuff to do
You rightly acknowledged that *all work and no play can get you frustrated and depressed*
They're part of the Schengen agreement equally and their standard of education and living is quite high
A greater majority of them speak English though you'll still need a good knowledge of Norwegian and Swedish to get access to more job opps

They also Grant PR after 3 years....M.sc is 2 years (it's counted for you) and they can grant you a job-seeker permit for 1 year if you apply (as I learnt)....making it 3 years

All these things sound so juicy ���

No be just to school I dey go...I dey reason take up one or two jobs to make ends meet
And further my career

So boss... Abeg from your experience as you don dey Finland
You don get full-time experience...and you go fit give me some kain information way I no go fit see for Google


Factors:
Life after schooling....job opportunities and possibility of staying back
Little funds available
Efficiency of the cert
Then the strength of the currency



Based on every every
Where do you advise I go?

Thanks �

winkmart:
In her new visuals titled "I Want 20 Inch D*ck", Princess Vitarah who made her debut in the Nigerian music scene in March, 2016 with a contentious song titled 'Nigerian P***y' has done it again with another sensational video.

The rapper advocated for a huge manhood she could feel in her head once it enters her body and she also bragged about her expertise in administering mouth action.

In a solo video appearance, she showcases the Nigerian flag in the background with several cucumber fruits flaunted in a s*xually suggestive manner.

Princess Vitarah has been heavily bashed by Nigerian puritans who found her songs dirty, erotic and crude but she seems unstoppable.

In an interview, she narrates she was born in the States but that her family moved back to Lagos, Nigeria and her family’s village, Arochukwu — when she was little.

She lived in Houston, Texas for a while before arriving in Los Angeles last summer. “I knew that L.A. is really really competitive and I wanted to try and figure out how I could stand out from all the millions of other artists that are here,” she told a journalist.
