Life some times can be funny. I applied to NTNU last year and I was denied admission. So this 17/18 session, I just re-submitted my previous document on their website, and viola, I got a place for MSc Petroleum Geosciences. The issue now is that I hold offer for the same course in Ireland - tuition applies in this case but I have scholarship to offset the cost. Another thing is the MSc in Ireland is one year while that in Norway is two years. Duration is not really a concern, but the chance of getting a job after studies. So my question goes to guys who have studied in Norway, how easy is it for a non-EU person to get a job in Norway Oil industry after studies. I have read here on the monetary requirement for a post study visa. That shouldn't pose a challenge as the scholarship I plan using for Ireland will cover for the requirement. Looking forward to kind response(s) from fellow nlanders. Regards. |

niyogeol:Congratulations on your admission. Oil in general is gradually being replaced by renewable energy sources. Norway especially wants to be at the forefront as new and better energy sources are being developed. It has become easier to gain admission due to a declining interest in oil-related work (the obvious ethical issues of which more and more people have become aware, innovation in renewables etc.). Norway has seen some pretty significant cuts in the oil industry as a result and a lot of people have lost their jobs as of recently. Based on that, I'd say the chances of obtaining work are rather slim, but not impossible. |

rinzylee:Expound on your position so the op can make an informed decision. It is not just enough to tell some to go somewhere without stating reasons for it. |

StarFlux:Thank you for your response. Do you by chance work in the Oil Industry in Norway? As for the renewable energies stories, the debate is huge and different people oppose and support the trend alike. Regardless of the divide we find ourselves, fossil fuel still has a role to play in our lives. I'm elated you took time out to respond to me. Thanks once again. 1 Like |

Renewable is growing but slowly, non renewable will continue to be dominant in the future. There are no jobs in Norway at the moment. The politics of oil prices has never been this complex so no one can say categorically that things will pick up soon. Thousands have since been laid off from work, same thing worldwide. Those who graduated before oil prices crashed got jobs. All those I met when I got here who graduated last year have moved to other countries, some back to Nigeria, while some still remain doing other things. Have you seen entry level oil jobs ads in Nigeria? It's the same thing almost everywhere. Oil is oil. We have given you almost all you need to know to inform your choice of Norway. Do your research about Ireland, compare your options and decide which suits you more. I know people will still ask this question about jobs. Nothing in life is certain, not even the life that you have. All we're doing is taking a chance in the midst of uncertainties for whatever lies ahead. 3 Likes |

Bandeco: Oga boss... You na Baba nah. Anyway looking at the two countries especially with the blind Oil future I don't vote Norway . To start with, I don't know how easy it is to get jobs there anymore recounting experiences of friends who landed there btw 2015 and Now. It was easier landing jobs 7-8 years ago at least my bro got a job with FMC technologies by his 2nd year of Msc. Lastly, UK may have a shorter length of time allowed Foreigners but if you play your cards well you can become relevant enough to land a good job. Except for medical professionals especially Dentists Norway which is a heavy oil economy may not be the best. I am not trying to discourage anyone, but I would advice that you start working on your skilled migration to Canada, Australia or somewhere else so you can have multiple options after Masters in Norway. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.!! |

StarFlux: Oga StarFlux, been following your comments and on behalf of applicants like myself i say: THANK YOU. I am inclined to agree with you as the situation is dire everywhere one looks. However a lot can still change in two years in the oil sector, and i would also advise we petroleum geoscience applicants to consider environmental specializations to be on the safe side. |

From all I've read, people who have 2.1 don't have hope, anyway congratulations to all those who have gained admission. |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by trilobite: 2:03pm On Apr 15, 2017 |
osic: depends on the field you're applying to as some are just too competitive. 2.2 can get admitted in fields like biochemistry. Just put God in it. |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by osic(m): 2:40pm On Apr 15, 2017 |
trilobite: Is there hope for someone with 2.2 in an agricultural course |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by StarFlux: 8:20pm On Apr 15, 2017 |
niyogeol:Very true. Glad to be of help ![]() trilobite:Appreciate the kind words, thank you! Indeed. Enviromental studies have been (not sure about now) much easier to gain admittance to than petroleum sciences. It's also a field of education within which the demand will keep increasing, whereas petroleum will continue to decline (although people will retire and jobs will open up that way; still a net loss). Solar power will probably be huge in sunny countries like Nigeria sef, and the market is increasing. Interestingly enough, I put a small amount of money into a Norwegian enviromental fund, and the % profit keeps increasing by every year. If I had put that money (however small) into the oil sector, I'd most likely have lost and not gained. Just a personal observation on my part. |

StarFlux:Hello Starflux. Any idea what Profs look at in giving one PhD position over there? |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by salford: 7:18pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
olujastro:I dont see oil booming anymore like it used to be. if one has an engineering or geoscience background, its better to consider other options. The same Norway is also banning use of cars than run on gasolime by 2025. I expect all EU countries to fall in line too on or before that date. |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by StarFlux: 7:33pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
niyogeol:Not sure. I do know that ideally you'll need a B average from your master’s to be considered (at least in some institutions), but beyond that I only know that the project outline (as always I guess) is extremely important. Having some publications doesn't hurt either. |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by trilobite: 9:29pm On Apr 16, 2017 |

Guys do you think someone with a certificate from an open university in Nigeria can be considered and granted admission?? |

Guys who has observed that the amount required to be sent to the school has increased from 109k nok to 111600 nok on UDI site? Conflicting figures. What do the gurus advise? 1 Like |
