Being my first post on this thread, I have been following the thread for a while (ghost mode)and my boundless appreciation goes to Ekefourty7 and others who have been contributing in one way or the other.
I have HND in Civil Engineering from a federal polytechnic with a cgpa of 3.29, i am currently serving (NYSC) and i will be passing out by October by the grace of God. I will appreciate your contribution on the options i have to further in Germany.
Bros, your HND will only make you eligible for Bsc. 3 years. Nothing more.

The insurance is important not only because you have to use the hospitals or not.
You cant be enrol in a german university without insurance.
No employer will give you job without your insurance.
Is like you are walking naked,if you are not insured here as a student.
Although some companies pay for there employee insurance here,so you might be lucky...
Yes of course, its very compulsory.
How far brother, long time no see.

You can use you NECO. That's if the school even ask but the embassy will surely ask for it and its acceptable.

That telecommunications there is a killer. Why not go for courses like bioinformatics or just ICT.
Do your investigations though, you might be lucky.

Once you are 30 you are not qualified to get the price at which you would have gotten when you were younger. it's around 120 or more depending on the issuer. Therefore, you are encouraged or SOMETIMES forced to switch to private which would be cheaper (not in the real sense though) and more flexible as you can negotiate for as low as 34 euros if you are student for a cheap one.
On the other hand, some schools, e.g Frankfurt do not accept private insurance no matter your age so automatically, na over 110/120 gbese every month.

I hope the ogas will come and help you further.

Thank you but Mawista is private insurance and i don't like their conditions. The benefits of Public insurance is better that is why i am asking for monthly public rate when one's age is beyond the student rate

Nobody is giving anyone misinformation. If u are above 30, public insurance accept u only if u agree to pay more. Private insurance is cheaper if u are above 30 but has its own disadvantage which is dat wen u go for treatment d hospital sends u d bill ist which u av no choice but d pay before d insurance refunds u and mind u dey don't refund 100%.

If u are on public though, u don't even see any bill, just flash ur card and u get treated, d bill goes to d company. I'm above 30 and I'm with a public insurance cus my school Goethe university in Frankfurt does not accept private insurance for students on enrolment. U can finish ur enrolment and terminatinate ur contract with ur public company after a year but I don't see the need once u can pay. For the ist year its 129.99€ while from d second year its 159.99 with aok hennen if u are above 30, for below 30 its 78.99.

Private can be as low as 35€ but u can't eat ur cake and av it

@crowns2 dat is d authentic if u need. If u start at d age of 29 like I did, u start with 78.99 den few weeks to ur 30 birthday, d company invites u over to sign a new contract which will take effect two months after ur 30 birthday. It will be 129.99 for d next one year cus all German institutions don't believe u should be a student after 30 so all benefit stops once u are 30 even banks. After d one year of paying 129.99 ends, u go to 159.99 which will only be reduced wen u are married and start having kids.

To even open a bank account if u are a student above 30 is not free like if u were below 30 and dey charge u BTW 5 and 9 Euros monthly for d account

Thank you for your reply. I saw this on AOK website: Voluntary insurance

Even if you are over the age of 30, or if you have already completed 14 semesters of study, you are in good hands with the AOK. Students with their place of residence in Germany, who are no longer insured under the statutory system, may take out insurance as voluntary members of the AOK. In order to qualify, however, you have to provide proof of "previous insurance" covering either a total of 24 months within the last 5 years or at least 1 year (12 months) uninterrupted insurance prior to registration with a German statutory health insurance organisation.

Did you begin to use public insurance in Germany before you got to 30?

I got to Germany last October went to enroll with mawista and my SCH rejected it, I was given instructions to go get aok, I got aok and all is history. Mind u I only clocked 30 this year february.

Even you you are over the age of 30, or if you have already completed 14 semesters of study, you are in good hands with the AOK.

If u are still below 30 by d time u get to Germany, just sign up with AOK even if ur 30 birth day is two weeks from den. Once u sign up before u officially clock 30 u don't av to fulfill any other rule, like I said dey will call u themsef wen u clock 30 to sign a new contract. And d rule u quoted does not apply to international students provided dey are d ist company u sign up with on ur arrival in Germany even if u are above 30 wen u came

okay. if the person is over 30 at the beginning of schooling in Germany will they still allow the person to use public insurance? Private insurance sucks especially Mawista. Do you know any other private insurance company for foreign students?

Bros on a good day I would ignored you and not read your message twice but of course, I won't be doing any good. Some of the reasons why I ignored you and didn't bother replying you the last time was that I knew from your previous posts that you are as old as my much older cousins and most importantly, the closest you have gotten to the four walls of a tertiary institution is the studienkolleg, one which you are presently in (which is of course is not a university yet). So, I perceived you neither understood the intricacies of the then subject topic especially in Nigeria and the reasons behind my reply nor have you ever gone for one in a Nigerian university.
However, on this occasion, I perceived that your inability to read and comprehend simple English sentences could also be a contributing factor to your "hateful" and incoherent bashes.
Read my response again, and observe more closely. Now, can you see any connecting factor between your last sentence in your quote above and the capitalised words in my quote below? And just in case you didn't know, someone enrolled in a masters programme is also a student grin.
If there is any other thing about me that gives you heart wrenching nightmares, you can spill it so we can iron things out.
