Ernestmm: First, I'd like to thank the star of this thread, @starflux. You have provided invaluable information here like we are paying for it.

I am planning to apply to Oslo school of Design and Architecture (AHO) and Bergen school of architecture, had even contacted AHO asking if they currently have Nigerians doin graduate prgrammes, unfortunately, they don't.

I'd just like to know my chances of getting admission for an M.Arch in these schools with a 2.2 and a good portfolio, and also to clarify if I'd need to show any proof of english proficiency? Thank a lot.

StarFlux: Yes, a letter of confirmation.

Ernestmm: Tanx a lot. I'd surely return with more questions.I am preparing against starting sept 2014.d application portal for both schools haven't open yet, so I am just working on my porttfolio atm.

ceechedah:

Ernestmm: starflux.. please are there any documents required before visa can be granted to Norway?
also, the N2.5 million, would I pay that after visa has been granted to me or that is a pre requisite for the visa to be granted?
to what account do I pay this money to?

Ernestmm: sorry. I think I have gotten all the information that answers my questions. thanks a bunch. I'd still come with more tho.

bodeplot: @starflux..thanks for ur reply,am applying to NTNU chem engineering and stavenger..av submitted preliminary form first waiting for real form..thanks

StarFlux: That's okay Listing it here just in case.

1. Certified passport copy
2. Gained admission
3. Funds
4. Guaranteed accommodation (this is nearly always guaranteed)
5. You have to leave Norway when your visa expires

I might make a dedicated thread for this topic. There's so much information, and I tend to forget to mention a thing or two from time to time (but I assume people do their own research as well), but it would be more tidy if I made a thread with links and info.

Glad to hear that. Crossed fingers!

Icecold Don: Star,thanks a whole lot for all your help. I tried applying to telemark university college today for masters in energy and environmental technology,but in the first step they asked for English proof and listed just 6 countries as exemption with Nigeria not in it,and I couldn't pass there. I knw in other universities proof of English is not necessary so I don't understand. Please can u look into it for me....please as soon as possible,tks

uzoexcel: Hi starflux!!!nice work!!!why does one have to leave norway when visa expires?hw realistic are the chances of nigerians in gettn jobs there?
Also,if one is on a student visitor visa in the uk,can the person start processing his applications for m.sc to norway from the uk or does the person need to be in naija to do all this?regards!!!

StarFlux: Thanks!

Because a student visa is not a permanent residence permit, it's temporary. The chances are pretty good if you bother to learn the language and finish with a decent result (a more advanced type of job). For just working in grocery stores and so on, you have good chances from the beginning. You can also apply for a 6 month visa renewal after your studies to apply for jobs.

As for your other question.
"If you are outside Norway you hand in your application at a Norwegian embassy or consulate in your home country or the country where you have held a residence permit for the last six months. In some countries you will hand in the application at the Swedish or Danish embassy instead"
http://www.udi.no/Norwegian-Directorate-of-Immigration/Central-topics/Studies/How-do-I-apply-for-a-residence-permit-for-students/

So if you've been there for 6+ months, then you can, otherwise it needs to be done in Nigeria.

newacca:
Do I stand a chance getting visa for undergraduate prog. at age above 30?

StarFlux: Yes. It's not uncommon for people even in their 40s to be studying. Age is irrelevant.

The only problem with undergraduate programmes is that most of them are in Norwegian, but that's not a problem if you apply for a school that offers the 1-year course for you to qualify.

Icecold Don: @starfkux,tks so much man,u are a life saver. so that means I must write TOEFL, man this is bad and I will have to wait for the result before applying. Thanks but I don't know is that will be possible, are there schools offering similar courses that you are aware of.

kamui gaiden: @starflux I must say that you are indeed a blessing to us looking for information about studying in norway and God will continue to bleSs you.
Well I am a prospective student for the university of bergen and I have been reading your post on this thread since 2009 I intend to study in norway @ UIB please if there is any1 on this thread too for the same purpose,uib especially please I would like us to chat as this can bring about a motivational factor becoz rite now am having doubts because of the kind of information I have been reading thanks add ♍ε̲̣̣̣̥ -32301fbf

chunaph: Please btw uis and uio which one is better in terms of job prospects for a geoscientist?

StarFlux: You're welcome, and sorry for the unfortunate news.

I'll have a look at other alternative programmes.
Thank you so much!

If you'd like to share what information you're referring to, feel free to do so, might be able to give a more clear answer.

I'm going to say that you're on a fairly equal footing with either one.
