I can help with Austria appointment date, because as of now no appointment is there portal till June, but there's always a way to it, you can send me a PM

Please, I have a question bothering me that I will like to ask here.

I graduated in 2016, completed my nysc in 2017.
Due to issues relating to employment, experience, and finance, I couldn't get a work in the line of what I studied, so I decided to work as a teacher for sometimes before starting my own business, tho my line of business is the end products of my course of study, but I am just a seller/dealer and not a manufacturer or producer.

Now, I want to continue my education after about 7 years break and not working in line with my course of study, and someone said I need to practice or work in my BSC.

My question is, what is my chance of getting ission since it will reflect on my CV when I'm applying for my MSc..

P.S: My CGPA is 4.133 of 5.0.

Your question is not really clear. You no kuku add your course of study in all you said to make things clear. Anyway you have a good cgpa that might get you scholarship gan in US(depending on your course) Work Experience is work experience whether in your line of study or not.

What is your BSC course of study?
Do you intend to study something related to your BSC for Masters? (better)

I studied ***, I want to study *** in Austra.

It was a friend that told me because I have not worked in a field related to my course since I graduated that they won't grant ission.

I would have tried USA but the requirements (including funds) and process is something else.

That is why my focus is on Austra.

Most Austrian Universities don't check all those experiences of a thing. Most oftentimes, after you have applied for ission (and please apply to as many schools as you can, applications are usually free), and have been shortlisted. These Universities will set up either an interview or an exam for you. The interviews are usually academic-related questions and some other questions that are also related to ission and academics. Sometimes they may set up a second interview if there is a competition for that program.

All in all, you don't need to worry about the lack of experience. Just apply, if your application is tight and very convincing, they'll shortlist you for an interview or exam, and that's all you need to prepare for.

I'm a Nail Technician, Pedicure&Manicure and Massage therapist, please can I travel to Austria as a student or work there... I need a concrete information about this 🙏🏻 and how much should I have with me

OkanlawonB:
As regards jobbing and jobs for non EU students including Nigerians in Austria, the allowed 20hrs/week during the school semester is a right and not a privileg , obtaining working permits from the Austrian Labour Office (Arbeitsmarktservice) for these jobs is a mere formality and not at all complicated so long the total hours don`t exceed 20/week.

It is also of pertinence to note that when a new student starts jobbing and the earnings of the particular job is above the minijob (geringfügige Beschäftigung) flatrate currently set at 518,44€/month, the employer is obliged to pay your social insurance contributions (SV Beitrag), though a small fraction will also be deducted from your earnings for this purpose. The Social Insurance Contributions is not a mere health insurance but a comprehensive insurance that covers health, pension, unemployment and accident.

Combining multiple generous minijobs(geringfügige Beschäftigung) may helpful to a student because its not uncommon to find minjob that is not time intensive but pays good flat rate. When combining minijobs, it is important to note that you have to go the Regional Health Service centre (Gebietskrankenkasse) so as to know the due monthly social insurance contributions to be paying because each minijob pays only the accident insurance.

How about Upper Austria? How's life as a non-eu student there? Is it a place adviceabke to live in and study? I'm planning to apply for some schools in Upper Austria but I want to hear from ou guys first who know better. Someone told me that Vienna is a bit expensive to live in as a student.

The state of Upper Austria has two universities that may be of interest to international students, the Johannes Kepler University located in the state capital, Linz. There is also the university of Applied Science, upper Austria (FH, Oberösterreich) with campuses in Wels, Linz, Steyr and Hagenberg.

Though the cities of Linz, Steyr and Wels have good public transport network and may offer some modest opprtunities for student Jobs , in contrast Hagenberg is more of a rural setting. FH Hagenberg (Software Park) is a gigantic school of Information Technology with some courses of study taught 100% in English. FH Wels, Steyr and Linz also have some courses in english.

What should make you choose Upper Austria over Vienna is may be your intended course of study is available in english only in Upper Austria ,if not Vienna is a better choice.

Vienna is not more expensive compared to Upper Austria. Accommodation is not a big deal in Vienna, there are many student accommodation in Vienna. Settling in Vienna is easier because of its more cosmopolitan nature.

God bless you for this insight. I really appreciate this. Your cup will never run dry.
God will continue to bless people like you who always give info about all these things to enable.people make proper decisions.
I have a friend who is currently studying in Austria for about 1 year now but he will never respond to you if you ask him anything concerning Austria and how to get around schooling there, but if its for other gists, he will be freely talkingand chattingwith you. Definitely anybody who wants to relocate especially through study route most often needs guys already there to gather some information. You can't get the real day to day life of a student on the street from Google but some guys will never give you any info.
So I really appreciate your response to my question.

In any case u get an appointment with d austrian embassy ..nd u can't meet up with requirement for legalisation on dat particular date.. go there with ur document nd tell them.. they will give u two weeks of grace. Nd maybe another ...setting up anew appointment na ages thing

Sorry Chief, Can a Masters student from Nigeria bring spouse and children along with him or her to Austria like they do in UK?

Yes boss

Is the appointment no available slot only applicable to student and tourist visa? I’m applying for business visa and I just checked I got 5th February as earliest date.

Please did you say that the port of the declarant or the person whose age is declared to be attached to the Birth certificate? Please I am a bit confused here.

MeineMutter:


NPC was established in 1992. You can’t use that small grey paper certificate because you were born in 1988. That’s before NPC was established.

Somebody who is, at least, 8 years above your age must do age declaration for you in a competent law court. Don’t do it at magistrate courts o or at courts where they don’t usually come to work.

Let your declarant go to state High Court of Federal High Court where their staff normally come to work regularly.

After getting the age declaration done, your delarant can then proceed to NPC to get a birth certificate for you on their letter-head that would include the port of your declarant.

The person declaring for you would be the one Austrian lawyer would talk to and the person must know 99% things about you.

It’s better the person is your family member or uncle or aunt etc. don’t use your friends o.

Also, DONT FORGET TO INCLUDE THE PERSON’S (DECLARANT’S) NAME ON THE FORM YOU FILL THAT YOUR ARE SUBMITTING AT THE EMBASSY, AS PART OF YOUR RELATION. OF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS, THE EMBASSY LAWYER WILL PICK IT AGAINST YOU AND TOU WILL HAVE TO DO ANOTHER AGE DECLARATION AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PAY ANOTHER 200k TO THE EMBASSY.

SO, MAKE SURE YOU STATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PERSON ON THE FORM TOO AND IT HAS TO CONFORM WITH THE ONE YOU USE ON THE AGE DECLARATION AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

Is there a program available for HND graduate in ing?

When can one start looking out to apply to schools for ission( like we have Winter intake, Spring and falls)

Can one relocate with spouse,if yes how can one go about it please.

How much should one have to relocate with spouse and is there a need for POF?

I read about legalization and so at the Austria embassy and application for Residential Permit, please does it mean that the Residential Permit is the application of the student visa.

Thank you all
