Graduate Study Abroad - Tips from Africans Who’ve Done It: Real Stories, Real Advice.

IMMIGRATIONGRADUATE STUDIES

5/28/20255 min read

You want to study abroad — but where do you even begin?

If you're from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, or any other African country, chances are you’ve heard many confusing stories about scholarships, application processes, or visa rejection.
It feels like everyone has an opinion, but no one has a clear, reliable roadmap.

What if you could learn directly from Africans just like you, who have successfully made the journey — and are now studying or living in countries like Canada, the UK, the U.S., Germany, and Finland?

That's what we created at Learning With Babanlar (LWB).

Our Graduate Studies Abroad course is not your typical class. It's a library of real, honest video interviews with African international graduates sharing their stories, their mistakes, and their best advice.

🎥 Real Stories, Real Africans, Real Results

Instead of overwhelming you with theory, we let the people who’ve actually done it speak. Through candid, recorded interviews, they share:

  • Why they chose their specific university and country

  • How they handled application challenges like SOPs, IELTS, and transcripts

  • How they got scholarships, tuition waivers, or funded their journey

  • Visa advice and how they prepared for interviews

  • What life is really like in their new cities (weather, culture, cost of living, and more)

  • What they wish they knew before they applied

These are people who once sat where you are — full of questions — and now have answers.
