STUDYING IN NORWAY🇳🇴

Yes, we are back again in Norway😍

Tag your friends here to get all the info about Admission in this country.

Norway used to have a scholarship known as the Norwegian Quota Scholarship Scheme for Developing Countries.
Unfortunately, the scholarship has been stopped: studyinnorway.no/News/The-quota…

But the good thing is that studying in Norway is absolutely tuition-FREE, for public schools at all levels.

You just have to be sure your course is taught in English, except you understand
the Norwegian Language. For Bachelor's degree, Universities are not much compared to Msc and PhD degrees, using English as the medium of instruction.

So how do you apply?

First, click this link to see the schools available in Norway:

afterschoolafrica.com/7039/tuition-f…
or 4icu.org/no/

Go through each of those schools to see your course.
Make sure you are using Google chrome so as to translate the web page to English.

For example, the University of Stavanger, Msc English and Literacy Studies page looks like this:
If you scroll down, you will see the admission start date, which is usually August and Ends in Dec/Jan. in most schools. You will also see the admission requirements

This page shows the Application Deadlines (uis.no/en/whenapply):
Application is quite easy because you don't need to contact any Professor. Also, some schools may allow you to submit proof of English language proficiency (e.g WAEC result) or a Letter from your Undergrad. University. Some schools don't even need recommendation letters.
Make sure your CV and SOP are well written.

The school will get back to you in 2-3 months.

For PhD, you must have gotten a supervisor, of course.

There's no application fee for admission, but there's an application fee for the visa once you get the admission.
Let's talk about the Visa Process:

You will have to contact the Norwegian consulate in your home country while paying around 5000NOK for the visa application. You can also apply here: udi.no.

You can then book an appointment.
You won't be issued any visa until you show proof of funds required for your cost of living.

Similar to Germany where you provide a block account, the Norwegian Govt will ask you to pay the money to the school's bank account (around 123,000 NOK).
They will send you a bank statement that you will use for your visa application. You can come with your family if you can prove that you can cater to them.

You also have to show that you have applied for accommodation where you and your family will live.
Immediately you land in Norway, they will give you a certain percentage of the money you paid to settle down as well as open a bank account.

Once you settle. they will give you the rest of your money. This way, they are sure you can never be a burden to the system.
We must admit that the cost of living in Norway is high. hence the need for POF.

However, the good thing is this:

As a student, you can work 20hrs/week during academic sessions and unlimited hours during summer. Hence, you don't have any issues living comfortably.
Also, your 2-years post-graduate work permit is sure. You can think about what next in those 2 years. Most people gather funds for those years and move to another country.

So, if you can borrow the proof of funds, you should be able to pay back if you are prudent enough.
If you decide not to go again after you must have paid, the Govt will refund your money 100%, except bank charges.

Summary: No publicly funded full scholarship in Norway for Africans as of today, but admission is easy, provided you can show Proof of Funds (POF).
There are scholarships for other countries: edarabia.com/scholarships-n…
