I don't think you would be required to submit GRE or SAT, I might be wrong, but you can as well paste the link where you got that information from here. You can email each of the school specifically eplaining to them that you study in English all through and ask if you can apply with your transcript only, but as far as I have known, the basic requirement are your transcript and either IELTS or TOEFL, thats all

your transcript and langauge proficiency exam should be enough. no need for any entrance exam.

Thanks dahonestboss. You are very correct, its just a schl or two needs entrance exam. Secondly, Helsinki and Oulu will start their applications by mid November, you can check this link http://www.helsinki.fi/admissions/index.html. For the serious minded pls don't use a fire-brigade approach, get yourself together now. But there is a clause that seems not clear, some schools stated that tuition fee will be applied by 2013/2014. Is ours 2012/2013 or 2013/2014? Dahonestboss pls clarify. Thanks

D question ȋ̝̊̅§ dis ehh,, sins d skul fees,accomodation ȋ̝̊̅§ free ehh,, wat den will sum1 going Fø̲̣̣я̅ MSc pay?

treeofhelp: Tell U̶̲̥̅̊я school to help u indicate U̶̲̥̅̊я UAF number on the transcript before sealing it. UAF number is the number u obtained during U̶̲̥̅̊я application. Note that the same number must be indicated on all U̶̲̥̅̊я documents.

I know alot of undergraduate student that applied with their waec certificate only to some school, and they were accepted but these are exeption, but I will advice you to email each uni of interest specifically.

Some of us might be discourage to take the exam, thinking its hard or something, but I can assure you that if you understand english and can speak it very well, you would pass it, I did mine once and it was fine without any preparation. it worth taking. But in anything you do, DO IT QUICK, calculate the time frame so that you can apply as soon as you get it in december.

dahonestboss: Let me enlighten you a little bit

If you live in bigger cities, there is an assurance that you will get a job, Living in Finland generally is quite expensive, but since you don't have to worry about tuition fees, its still manageable. Judging from a single student point of view, if you manage well, 300 euros or lower might be sufficient per month, but as a married man, then calculate that by the number of family members you have.

If you get a part time job, you would live fine and also save up as a student too. but this are quite easy in the bigger cities like Tampere, Turku, helsinki, Espoo, etc where the probability of getting a job are probably higher than other small cities.

Concerning changing status after studies, its very possible in Finland. Finland has a relaxed Immigration policies to foreigners. After graduation, you would be given an additional six months permit to look for job and if you get one, you would be given a residence permit based on that, which would count towards naturalization if that is your long term plan.

You can come with your wife and kids, but you are going to show strong financial proof on how you will support yourself and your family throughout your stay in Finland as a student

dahonestboss: I go encourage make you enter Finland. Getting visa to Canada na piece of cake here, no stress at all. and yes, the 300 euros includes rent, food and transport if you manage well. Infact, Cana, Australia and yankee na the final destination of most Naija guys here, na just to come here, get money, study and forward to a better place of your choice if you no wan settle for Europe.

According to the Finnish immigration website, 6000 euros is for the primary applicant per year (the student) while 7560 per year is needed for an adult beneficiary of the principal applicant. for minor, its 5400 per year. but you should check this link for more info

Like i said earlier, its possible to get a Job within six months of graduation, I am not talking of professional job ooo ? but at least a job that you can use to change status to get your residence. be it menial jobs or professional, the fact is that you are working and paying tax, so it suffice. (there is dignity in labour here, it doesn't matter if you work as a bank manager or a cleaner, everyone are treated equally without relegation)

and under the EU law, you can move to Germany if you want, after Naturalization in Finland.

dannywest01: Are we depositing the 6000 euros in a blocked account just like germany or it will be in our personal account? And also wanna know if they care if the money can be dropped once into the account without any hassle, just like the case of UK tier4 visa.. Pls kindly help me out. Thanks y'all
