GERMANY
Germany is another country with free tuition and the good thing is that they accept Higher National Diploma , second class lower and even a third class .
Germany has over 358 universities with more than 70.000 courses .
Another good thing is that you don’t need to write IELTS .
The downside is that you must have a blocked account – this simply t means hat before you apply for visa after you might have been given admission is that you must open an account in Germany and transfer 10,000 euros to the account and you can only have access to this money monthly only when you must have migrated to Germany . This parameter is initiated by Germany to ensure you are able to take care of your feeding , accommodation and generally your stay without being a burden to Germany during your stay .

NORWAY: this is another amazing country that accommodates everyone and tuition is completely free .To apply for admission in any Norway universities you y can go through this website : https://www.studyinnorway.notuition-scholarships/scholarships
Applying for Norway university admission , make sure you apply for more than three universities at once to be considered .
Norway has similar method when it comes to proof of funds but differ a little .
Norway requires you have at least 11,000 Euros , create an account in Norway and transfer the money into the account and you can only have access to the fund after you have migrated to Norway, Now here is the difference , in Germany the money is given to you in bits –monthly but in Norway , you have access to all the funds as soon you move to Norway. The reason behind this is to make sure you can afford it. The downside of moving to Norway is that standard of living is very high . This might propel you to live in rural areas .
