Hello Nairalanders,

Please how easy is getting Admission into the Universities in Netherlands are? And do they keep to their words of getting the Student Visa for all their Accepted Students? Please guys who have already Applied, studying or have a positive idea should please share your good points of view. Lets all talk about the coming Admission,

Will the school apply for student visa or the student does that in his or her home country?

@ Justwise, the Schools said that they Apply for the Student Visa/Resident Permit for the Accepted Student.

Never heard of that before,

You never heard of what?

I studied in Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands. The School will apply for what we call MVV for you. This is time to talk about Occupying Nigeria, not schooling abroad, please.

What is that?

@Megastu, Thanks for your reply. I know of the on going crisis. Please tell me more about the Admission Policy. Does the Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands really get the Visa for their Students? What are my chances of gaining Admission into the University? Please share more light.

p.desmond:

You never heard of what?

Never heard of any school applying for visa on behalf of prospective student.

@justwise, i have heard it directly from the Schools themselves.

Their School Fees are 7.500 Euros, it contains Health Insurance, Visa and Resident Permit. Accomodation reservation. first semester tuition fee.

justwise is substantially right.the student does that in his or her own country; The skool will only send u a letter after d payment of ur tuition fee.U have to take dis letter to their embassy in abuja.the embassy there4 has no choice dan to issue u the visa(MVV).on d otherhand,if their embassy is not in a certain country,the skool thus have d sole decision of getting u d visa from their country.Mind u,it's possible to waive d insurance and accomodation fee.All u have to do is make a petition that u will pay it when u get there.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Why do you argue on things you're not sure of? I study at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands and yes the school apply and get your visa approval from the Netherlands, if you meet the financial requirement which is either through your having being offered full scholarship like my own case or you have transferred the required fees to an account in the Netherlands.
When your visa is approved in the Netherlands, the school tells you to go to your embassy to pick it up. Its that straight as they will only ask you what you want to do in the Netherlands and thats all. Your visa is normally 100% guaranteed except there are inconsistencies in your application
Concerning admission, if you made a 2-2, forget about it and also I know people with GPA of 3.9 that couldn't get admission in my school and University of Twente. But if you have 3.8 GPA out of 5.00 and abve, you can apply for admission.

You would have said/ explained it without sounding big headed.

[b] t-med has his own view and explained it without going on about unnecessary stuff.

Thank you for this. That is exactly the situation. The school will ask you for some documents, once received, they apply for the MVV for you and once approved, you go to the embassy in your country and they stamp the visa for you. Once you get to netherlands, you would require some other documnts and then you will be issued your residence permit.

Mind you, MVV is not automatic, it can also be refused.

@ Justwise, wasn't referring to you but t-med because some one studying at the University of Amsterdam already corroborated the opening posters concerns. All thesame I'm sorry if I sounded heady to anyone

No worries, i'm sure the op now have enough info to work with

@Justwise, Thanks for firstly been the one that came to my aid, i appreciate it.

@2good, you are a good broda indeed, thats why i respect Nairalanders, I want to be registering for both TOEFL and IELTS by next week. I have written to Avams and there are two Nigerians that are already studying there which the Admin introduced to me but they havent replied to my mails yet. Please broda, what are my chances of gaining admission if i make my TOEFL very good coz i knows English, Also Please what is the highest score of TOEFL PBT because the school is requesting for 550.

@Megastu, Thanks for your advise, you are a good friend. I will be needing more information from you because you are far more experienced than me.

God bless you guys,

For most Dutch Universities, minimum TOEFL requirement is 90 on the computer based test and its equivalent.
I need to know general qualification like GPA, test scores etc before I can advice you

I dont understand what you mean by GPA, But the score demanded a score of 550, i guess thats for Paper Base Test.

^^^^^^ Are you coming for Masters degree or Bachelors?

I intend studying Bachelors Degree.

Dont know much about bachelors degree also, as an intending student, you have to learn how to help yourself research to know more about what you want. Since you have the internet, you can browse and get all the information you need from the school's website. That is where you can get the most up to date and detailed information you need for your academic pursuit. So do your own search and try to depend less on people

Ofcourse am doing my own research, but two heads are better than one thats the reason why i seeked the advise of people more experienced than me.

Pls, I am a young electrical/electronic engineer with B.eng (hons) with C.G.P.A of 3.52 and also have my toefl result score of 98. i wish to apply for master Netherland i need your help my email is mikkioko@yahoo.co.uk

@Micarson, tell me which of the TOEFL test did you take? And how did you register? Am intending applying for Bachelors Degrees in AUC. Guys who are studying there or studied should please give us their personal experience because that's what we need more personal experience.

@p.desmond, bachelors degree is taught in dutch.

Bachelors is really taught in Dutch in TU Delft, except Aerospace Engineering which is taught in both Dutch and English

The Schools i requested are all doing most of the Bachelors Degree in English including Information Technology and Civil Engineering.
