My friend who finished her masters at UiT Tromso also moved to Canada... Am beginning to think it's easier to move to other countries from Norge.. best of luck @olujastro

Pls what advice do you have for someone with a relatively low cgpa 3.08


Will going for a pgd here enhance my chances of getting masters?

Most schools request for a 2.1 and above because of the competitiveness of getting admission in some of their programmes.

But dont be scared. Even with a 1.0 gp (i am obviously joking) you can gain admission to some programmes e.g Bsc/Mc English, Bsc/Msc Primary School Teacher and some other courses that do not get too many applicants. While with 3.08, you definitely will not get into Psychology, Aviation, some serious engineering courses and other most sought after courses.

Ultimately, you gaining admission depends on the number of applicants also seeking for a place in that same programme/school. With your 3.08 you may not stand a chance and also with your 3.08, you should be admitted to a programme. It all depends on the number you are competing with for a place.

@ amaka157

A friend of mine moved from Oslo to the U.K then finally to Canada after his Msc. I think the exposure they get in Norge coupled with the education opens more doors for someone.

I think people leave Norge to Canada because of the great economy, how immigration friendly they and also no language barrier.

You are right @cuteTj cos before my friend's Norge journey.., she had tried Canada route severally to no luck... But just few months after her studies in Norge, she got Canadian visa.. may God help our country Nigeria...

You can do a further research which broadens and broadens your knowledge and you could also send a mail to the stated school to get a first-hand information. They're in the best position to guide you.

Additionally, on PhD pathway, if it was stated that there's a further study option,then there's a further study option. No worries Man!


Cheers!!

No problems! I got your back and other prospectives too! If I may ask,which schools did you pick?

Arinze01:

The schools are
NTNU and University of Oslo,
I am thinking that as black students, it will be better I focus on the capital city of Oslo for ease of integration and students job
What is your school choice and what was your reason for the selection?

Lol nice thought BTW. I chose UiS, Nord and NMBU. Stavanger is a cosmopolitan state likewise Oslo,touted as the oil capital of Norway -and I definitely love where it's situated (south western) and trucks of tourist sites to catch fun and down stress. I kinda love UiS programme syllabus for my preferred course,It aligns with my ephemeral and long term goals.

Ultimately, I pray we find favour and grace. All on God!

That is fine, you must have done a long back ground study on Norway, though I have a heavy work schedule where I am working but I will catch up with you soon

Hei!

From the best of my knowledge, it depends on the individual institution. Some does ask and some doesn't. Moreover, I'm not in Norway, I'm just a prospective student. All I know about their PhD program is that PhD students are paid cos they're regarded as an employee and it makes one qualify for a PR after your PhD program(because you've paid tax to the govt). Also,you've 5yrs min post secondary education upon applying for a PhD programme( that's 3yrs bsc and 2yrs MSC). There are some conditions you've to fulfill to get your PR which is the language proficiency (Norwegian).

Moreso, I believe you need to research on the programs that has a PHD pathway and your research statement/plans aligns with ur prospective supervisor . Their contacts and gmail account are readily available on each school's website..It's up to you to research more.

Additionally, I shared a link in the previous thread for PhD and post doctoral openings.


Best of luck!

I feel the gurus should share their experience in Norway. Let's hear their tales and deduce from it. I know everyone's kinda busy doing one or two but a summarized anecdote would help us especially we the prospectives for 2021, the incoming students of 2020 and the future applicants.


Thanks in anticipation!

NTNU finally responded to the email I sent them about English requirements for Nigerians.

Stupendous! @ amanze,they've waived the proficiency test for you.

Arinze01:

That's cool, though I didn't want to take chances, I wrote my IELTS early this year cos I wanna be prepared

Arinze01:



Stupendous! @ amanze,they've waived the proficiency test for you.

I'm not sure if it was waived. I think to submit a strong admission application, the English test is still needed.

Make I go look for one yeye course apply for��

Thanks

Make I go look for one yeye course apply for��

While you are looking for "yeye course"

Note that it's not only about your CGPA or competition for place

They also use the courses you took as an undergraduate so even you have appropriate CGPA and there is low competition

If you don't fulfil subject requirement, you might be refused admission

@ Dumebi213

I was going to let him know that. He should not get too excited about selecting a "yeye course."

@ trinityconcept, what do you originally plan on studying and not your "yeye course" backup program?? Let me help you find out how many other applicants you may likely be competing against.

Thanks.
Studyinnorway didn't give me any results.
free-apply.com brought out 6 schools for me but non is close to fredrickstad. I will look for an alternative.

Arinze01:




Click on this website www.studyinnorway.no and filter to your preference.. It's self-explanatory.


Good luck!

I did biochemistry first degree,
I want to apply for public health or global health

But if that will be very competitive I don't mind going for biotechnology or biochemistry msc.

I don't get your message, Ma'am. Pls explain explicitly. To access Norway's University, one is to use www.studyinnorway.no

No one here has a say or can predict application outcome. We only advise and guide. But if your undergraduate courses aligns with the intended MSC academic requirements and equals the needed ECTS, then you should apply.


My advise is to apply to all schools that matches your bsc requirements and hope for the best. You could be lucky - and note that high cgpa isn't the only determinant to being accepted for MSC studies in Norway. There are other considerations like ECTS requirements et al.

Aim for the moon(all) and if you miss you could be among the stars(receive admission to one or 2 perhaps).


Immense luck!!
