Tommicome:
For the benefits of those asking questions about the different stages, although I might not be able to explicitly write out all that is needed to be done, but I will try to put some information together, which with some more search efforts, it should be enough to get going.
It behooves of everyone who wants to apply to adequately search for every necessary information. Below are the stages:
1. Search for schools
Search using Google and the popular URLs like bachelorsportal(dot)com, mastersportal(dot)com, etc. On every university portal, you will find information about the different courses they offer, the admission process and stages, school fees, scholarships, double degree options, ERASMUS options, accommodation, job statistics after graduation and the estimated standard of living in the cities where the schools reside. In a situation you are not so cleared, write the international offices of the schools and they would respond to you. Search on social media if you can also find people who are students in such institutions to also get the necessary information.
My little advice, if you are not really ready to give what it takes in terms of full time study, please don't apply to Politecnicos. They could be quite demanding, but if you think you are, give it a shot and you will be rewarded for it.
Please make sure you apply to at least 5 schools to increase your chances and to also have a better standpoint when making the decision to finally go for one.
2. Gather your documents and get them translated.
Usually, the Consulate have registered translators. Find out. Mrs Zita Folarin is one of those who do good jobs. There are others too. There are a number of them at the TBS complex in Lagos. We also have some in Abuja.
3. Authenticate the translated documents
The authentication is done at 2 different ministries: The Ministry of Education and The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja. You or an immediate member of your family has to do it. Please get receipt for all that you do and keep them
A faster way of doing things is to get the original documents from the translator while they continue with the translation, and then proceed with the authentication, because it could take time.
4.Apply for legalization and and pre-enrollment at the Consulate.
You need to book by sending an email (if I am still right). Read up on the website of the Consulate or take a stroll there on one of their open days to get the updated information. Go with the need cash and follow every instruction.
5.Apply for your VISA.
TIPS
-Use your parent, sibling or personal account and have not just enough money in there, but also a proven or good cash flow. Anything above 3m should do.
-Get a proven accommodation. Once you get your admission, start searching for student accommodations in the city where you plan to travel to. Write them and request to pay on arrival, but get all the needed document to show the Consulate.
-Properly fill the forms.
-Attach all the needed documents and prove strong ties to Nigeria, to convince them you will come back.
-Hope for the best, because luck also plays a big role.
-Don't give up. You can re-apply immediately after a rejection.
6. Travel
Documents you would need to work with:
1. Original WAEC result, with enough unused scratch cards at hand.
2. Original Bachelors certificate (if going for Masters)
3. Original Bachelors transcript
4. Family income statement. You will design it and get it signed at the High court. This is part of what you would need to obtain your scholarship when you get to Italy.
5 Birth Certificate. It has to be issued by the NPC. We have them in almost every state. Lagos can be expensive or slow.
6. Affidavit of birth, if born on or before 1990 (if I am right)
If you have any question or issue I haven't touched, please drop your questions. I won't answer the obvious or already written ones. Thanks.
ALL THE BEST!!! what if the o'level is Neco for someone going for msc...? 1 Like |
