HOW TO APPLY TO STUDY IN FRANCE FROM NIGERIA

Campus France Nigeria is expected to open applications for the 2027/2028 academic session next month.

If you have been looking for an opportunity to study in Europe, this thread is for you.

I will explain:

How to apply
• Requirements for Bachelor's

• Requirements for Master's

• Requirements for PhD

• Documents you need

• Important deadlines
Let's go.

[Dornukie @DedeCodex]

Read papers!
Understand how things work, even if you’re not building them.
Stay curious!

[Oyinkansola Alabi (Dr.) @EmotionsDoctor]

I did my Masters degree at 36.

I moved to the United States at 38.

I joined the US Army at 39.

I got my US Citizenship at 40.

I started my PhD at 41.

I am building an African Play Center at 42.

Just do it. You will grow older anyway, so why don't you age with impact, influence and income?

[Oluyemi Solomon @BadaOluyemi]

𝐇𝐨𝐰 to get into 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 as a 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝 (Technology Role)

I spoke with my friend a Nigerian who secured a Goldman Sachs Technology undergraduate Summer Internship and retained after his graduate in Unilag, and he broke down the process for me.

If you’re applying, this is the roadmap:

1. CV Screening

Have 1 or 2 strong projects on your CV. Not 10 random projects.

Build something you can actually defend and explain deeply.

Keep the CV clean. You can check the score of the cv on sites like https://t.co/PJYaiUxQMj. There is no need to fluff.

2. Coding Assessment

This is where things get serious.

Expect a HackerRank style assessment focused on algorithms and data structures.

His recommendation?

NeetCode 150 + LeetCode.

If you can, get LeetCode Premium and practise Goldman Sachs tagged questions.

Focus heavily on arrays, strings, hashmaps, linked lists and the other core DSA topics.

You could get around 2 questions in 90 minutes.

Try to solve at least one completely. (. Go to https://t.co/uZwEHzhuhn (try to do the 150 problems practice sheet). Go to leetcode as well, get a premium if possible, and solve the company's tag problems (as many as you can). Prioritize Hashmaps, strings, arrays, linkedlist, and then others.)

3. HireVue

If you pass the coding round, you may get a recorded video interview.

This is largely behavioural.

“Tell me about a time…”

“How would you handle…”

“Why Goldman Sachs?”

YouTube is your friend. Search “Goldman Sachs HireVue” and practise.

And please don’t panic.

If you need time to think, take a breath and say:

“Give me 30 seconds to think about that.”

Then answer.

4. SuperDay

You’ve made it this far. Now the real conversations begin.

Expect multiple interviews covering:

DSA

Your projects

Behavioural questions

For DSA, know your Big O and time/space complexity. Explain your thinking clearly. Even if you don’t know the optimal solution, start with what you know and communicate your thought process.

For projects, KNOW YOUR PROJECTS.

Don’t exaggerate. Don’t lie.

Be able to explain what you built, why you built it, your contribution and the challenges you faced.

For behavioural, prepare for questions like:

Why Goldman Sachs?

What is your biggest challenge?

Tell me about a weakness.

Tell me about a time you failed.

His preparation checklist:

→ DSA in one programming language
→ Around 150 LeetCode problems, especially Mediums
→ 2 strong projects you can defend deeply
→ OOP, Big O, databases and CS fundamentals
→ Mock interviews with ChatGPT or Claude

And his final advice?

Prepare like your life depends on it.

Then pray.

Because after all the preparation…

Time and chance happen to them all.

From Scholarship Novice to Global Korea Scholarship Scholar

Late last year, I needed a PA to help manage my schedule. I reached out to @Adachella to ask if she could recommend someone who understood the @Scholarshipscaf language and the work we do. Instead, she willingly stepped in, ready to learn on the job and support me.

I have been part of Ada’s journey since her 300-level, supporting her through different stages, from recommendation letters for US opportunities to helping her identify the right scholarship pathways, including the GKS route.

She embraced the process, adapted quickly, and never disappointed. I still remember reviewing her essays and preparing her for her interview until late last night, Calgary time.

This is what effective scholarship guidance looks like: understanding your profile, identifying the right opportunities, and preparing a compelling application.

Hear from Ada as she shares how her Korea journey began.

The beginning of an era 

During my ML Engineering internship at @Apple, I got to talk to John Ternus about my work on training robots to recycle e-waste.

Takeaway: Robotics is on the verge of a massive leap, but it’s blocked by a major bottleneck.

MEMORY. Robots fail at long-horizon tasks because they can't get the right context at the right time.

So, I’m building the memory layer to solve this.

I’ll be building in public, sharing everything I learn along the way! Follow along to see what’s next! 👇

To be eligible for the French category of permanent residence in Canada (Express Entry), you need a CLB 7 (B2) French language test result.

Based on this structure at Alliance Française in Lagos, it will take you about 660 hours and cost over ₦2,000,000 to get to B2 as a beginner.

BREAKDOWN:
- 3 hours per day (5 days a week) for about 44 weeks (11 months) of intensive learning to move from A1 to B2.

A1 Level: 120 hours (about ₦420,000 in 8 weeks)

A2 Level: 120 hours (about ₦396,000 in 8 weeks)

B1 Level: 180 hours (about ₦594,000 in 12 weeks)

B2 Level: 240 hours (about ₦720,000 in 16 weeks)

Total: ₦2,130,000 in 44 weeks.

This doesn't include registration fees, exam fees, and student books. https://t.co/lors78j5O5

On this day, one year ago, I packed my life into two 23kg luggages and hopped on a plane to France to begin my Erasmus Mundus Master’s journey.

Since then, i’ve visited around 10 european cities, across three countries learning and also seeing the world beyond classroom and Lab.

Looking back, I can’t help but thank God for the growth, the experiences, the people across different culture, and every single moment that has shaped me since then.

One year later, so much has changed , and I’m grateful to Allah SWT for how far I’ve come.

to the journey, the lessons, and everything still ahead. 🥂✨

JUST IN: Former SVP of Hardware Engineering John Ternus officially takes over as Apple CEO.

[Vaibhav Sisinty @VaibhavSisinty]

End of an era. Tim Cook stepped down as Apple CEO. Today John Ternus takes over.

Here's the pattern nobody is talking about.

Apple doesn't pick CEOs. It picks weapons for the next war.

Late 1990s. Apple was dying. It brought back Steve Jobs. A product visionary who saved the company by building things people didn't know they needed.

Apple had the best products but needed global scale.

It picked Tim Cook. An operations guy who turned it into a $5 trillion supply chain machine. $350 billion to $5 trillion on his watch. First company to cross $1T, $2T, $3T.

Apple has the best devices on earth and the weakest AI narrative in big tech.

So it picked an engineer.

John Ternus. 25 years at Apple.

He led the shift to Apple Silicon. Killed Intel. Shipped the M1. Hardware lead on every iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Vision Pro of the last decade.

The same week he becomes CEO, OpenAI and Anthropic are buying tens of thousands of his Mac minis to train AI agents. Apple hardware became critical AI infrastructure without Apple building a single AI model.

The AI war won't be won by chatbots. It'll be won on the chips AI runs on.

Ternus built those chips.

Tim Cook's last words as CEO: "My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will."

The hardest shoes in tech were handed to the quietest engineer in the room.
