Hello gurus in the house,

Pls help examine this scenario, If someone borrowed the money, deposit the money in the account, gotten student visa, arrived Norway and completed the account opening process. After some time, since u have access to the funds, is it possible to send the money back to the lender in naija probably within a few months of staying in Norway



Someone said you'll be given all the money once you've opened a bank account over there.

Go through the thread, you'd see reasons why borrowing the money is not ideal

Norway has a highstandard of living and things are expensive especially when you start doing what every Nigerian does abroad "Converting to naira", it may take weeks to months to get a job, someone on this thread said he didn't get a job until after 6 months

What do you do during that period?

God will help everyone

Yes, according to information here and on school websites

The money would be given back to you once you have a Norwegian bank account and necessary deduction have been made (accomodation and dues)

1) It's your cost of living so they'll remove it, you'd be given instructions by the school on admission

2) No one knows, we are all prospectives but you can try, it doesn't hurt to try

3) As far as i know, that seems to be what we need you can research more

As a PhD student in Norway and other Nordic countries, you're paid for being a PhD student.. You're somewhat regraded as an employee of the institution. There are T&Cs for you to sign before it..

Regards to easy admission, you can't juxtapose it with MSC admission process and besides their MSC application is not really easy.. I recently saw some openings for prospective PhD students which I'll share here :You can go through it and perhaps check Norwegian universities websites respectively and focus on their PhD programmes.

If you're tenacious, it shouldn't be difficult learning though it's not easy learning. I opined you enroll for their Norwegian language classes. Universities offers Norwegian language classes and it's kinda rebated for students. When you enroll and see foreign students like you enthusiastic to learning the language,it will facilitate your learning process.

For jobs, hope and trust in God! We all have different destinies. Their employment statistics and job market is appealing but remember it depends on the person,A might go there and burgeon and B might go there and not. It's all on God!


On visa, when you tender all demanded, you ought to get the residence permit. Make sure you provide all that were asked on the checklist and all are authentic.

Best of Luck!!

Foremost, I think you should check if there's a PhD pathway for MSC in International and Commercial law. If there's a further study,then go with your MSC International and commercial law. The advise to you is let your research plan tailor/align with a professor's or a post doctoral area of specialization/research. That makes them willing to work with you cos they're interested in new findings to their research.


My platinum advise to everyone that wants to further his/her studies after MSC is simple. The easiest/flexible way is to ensure that your MSC degree has a PhD pathway or further study options. Hence it makes it easier and swift for you. The lecturer knows you already and your capability.

Best of Luck!

From the best of my knowledge, I think a preparatory course is the course/study one takes to fulfill a certain requirement before commencing the main course or programme. If I'm right, residence permit is given to a student staying More than 6mths and if yours falls under that category. I think you're eligible for a visa. You're Green to go!

skål!!!!

Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by trinityconcept(m): 2:26pm On Aug 12, 2020
So I've made my research as regards cgpa grading system in Norway


I realised that Norway has C+, C, and C-

however I can't tell if the C's I see as a requirement is the neutral C


Or it is for C+, C and C- collectively



I tried to convert Nigerian cgpa to Norway but I didn't get any clue so I had to quickly searvh for Norway cgpa vs American cgpa scale

Perharps it will be easier to get Nigeria vs America

So what I did was to convert my Nigerian cgpa to America then compare it in the American scale to the Norway equivalence


The following screenshots will help
