As we approach, the start of a new application. Do well to gather all required documents,

1) A copy of Certs and transcript to upload
2) also mail your transcript and certs directly from your school to the intend school you want to study, pls start early.
3) WAEC/ NECO Certs with scratch card.
4) CV, Letter of Motivations, and check if it's a requirement in the school you're applying to.
5) Bank statement showing 5.5M and sponsorship letter.
6) IELTS/TOEFL, some achools require this too.

I wish all prospective applicants good luck including myself

Heisann Alle (Hello Everyone)!

I will be attending to intelligent and researched questions about Norway. I started the application last fall (some schools start October, most November, few December and January). I applied to 3 schools (received 2 admissions) but deep down wanted my top priority school which I got - University of Stavanger.

Let me talk about Universities' applications: Most Norge universities exempt Nigerians from submitting an English Proficiency test 'cept for University of Oslo and University of Southern Norway (the latter was the school that gave me a rejection though it was envisaged, I have no ielts or TOEFL). My advise is to go for the schools that exempt Nigerians from the ielts and TOEFL test, but, if you've it, it's a PLUS.
For most schools, we are to courier our transcript to the host university. It's part of the application.
The last is the block sum of NOk 126357 which we are to submit through a bank statement showing you've the sum + an accompanying sponsor's letter (for those that are being sponsored - like me).
CGPA requirements: On their websites, they indicated the minimum requirement to be 2:1. In practical, that's not really the case. Norway and other EU countries use the ECTS arrangement which means if you studied English as an undergrad, you're to continue that way. You can't apply for an MSc. In Artificial Intelligence or msc. In Applied Finance and Analytics. Most people got a rejection because they acted funny. I know someone that studied Economics with a 2.94 that applied for an Msc. In Economics that got accepted likewise someone that got 2.74 in Philosophy that also got accepted for MSc. In related course. That's the secret, no CROSS-CARPETING lol

This is all for the study application phase.

The Waiting Period
This is the period where we have to wait for feedbacks vis-à-vis our applications. The waiting period differs from schools and programmes. Some got admission in early February, some in early and late March, some April, extreme cases in May.
After you've gotten an admission, the next step is to transfer the NOk 126,527 you presented during the application to the host school. We all used FORM A, getting official USD rate from the Central Bank. I'll advise everyone to use USD if in Nigeria as your transacting currency to avoid bogus conversion charges. After paying the sum and you've received a Confirmation of Deposit from the Host university, you immediately apply for your study visa + residence permit which comes with a Schengen sticker.

Visa Process.
Norge's visa process is pretty seamless, no long wait period, no interview except rare occasions, no calling on the phone to book an appointment or whatsoever. It's super fast - easy to get an appointment date and the documents to submit are readily available.

Note: You receive your Nok 126,357 immediately you've gotten a Norwegian bank account and you receive all. It's not like others where you receive it monthly. So, one could do as he/she pleases with his/her received money.

I think that's all.

Emia:
Hello thank you for this.
Its no news that Norway is an expensive country to live in and Covid made getting jobs even harder everywhere in the world.
My question goes thus: What is the situation rn in Norwegian cities like Bergen and Oslo for International students who need part time jobs? Are they easy to get ?
Furthermore what kind of jobs should we expect and the hourly pay rate ?
I really need answers to all this in order to adequately prepare myself for what is to come.
Please all contributions are welcome.
Thank you in advance

Arinze001:




Firstly, I'm not in Norway yet. Hopefully, I would be there late August max.

For jobs, my friends studying in Norway have multiple student-jobs paying their bills.

Let's go with a positive mindset that it will work out well for us by God's Grace!

Hi, thanks for this. Do you mind telling me if I can move with my family for my msc in Norway. Need urgent response

Precy102:
Multiple jobs?
I thought students are only expected to work for 20 hours per week and full time during holidays.

princetx:
@Arinze001, nwanne you have been feeding us with invaluable info. God will continue to bless you.

My question to you and others is this:
My CGPA is 2.8/5 (Bsc.)
and 4.07/5 (Msc.) due in September,2021.

If I'm applying for a PhD program, will my Bsc CGPA be a drawback to gaining admission as a PhD student?

Thank you.

Arinze001:


I don't really know much about PHD but I think with your MSC score + publication(s). It's fine.

You can checkout these sites
Findaphd and jobbnorge.

Best of luck!

Arinze001:



Ya, du kan (yes, you can)!

It's possible.

You've to transfer *2 of the block sum.

But, there are ways to bypass it. Tho, it requires patience.

If you've the money, green to go!
