Nice piece man, are you applying direct via naija transcripts? Or studienkolleg..

seunny4lif:

Please, how can I get that language school in Germany

UncleJudax:

Herzlich willkommen. Nice piece!

acedboss:



Nice write up! Kudos to you. Try TNT instead instead of DHL, it's slightly cheaper but they take the same time to deliver.

Leprof1:


Vielen danke mein Freunde. Wie geht es dir?

PHRANTAD:

Brother congrats on your admission and visa .
I just realised u were not available on whatsapp any longer. Kindly hook me up once again

Leprof1:


Thanks Buddy. I tried getting in touch with TNT here in Abuja as per your advice, their customer service team was just appalling to say the least. The lady at DHL was super friendly and accommodating. My package leaves tonight.

UncleJudax:

Sehr gut, und dir?

Leprof1:


Mir ges gut, danke.

dprinz99:


hallo der Mann,Sie Sprechen schon gutes Deutsch und wie Sie geschrieben haben,wohnen Sie in Abuja.ich wohne da auch.wo genau in Abj wohmen sie?
konnen wir uns einen Termin vereinbaren?wie sehen sie das/? Ich freue mich auf ihr Anwort.
vielen vielen Dank

dprinz99:

from all indications,its 90% impossible to study as undergrad without the under listed criteria.
as already said herre,German doesn't recognize our weac or neco cert for direct admission that means u have to pass tro studienkolleg which ends with festellung prufung and with this,u can ally for direct admission.
now b4 starting the studienkolleg,u nid at least b1l level of herman b4 Appling.
again u dnt hv dis cert.
u wena study medicine or nursing,yea I knw that frm ur post in Canadian thread.the best bet for u is to take up a language course here in Nigeria.dnt allow any1 deceive you that the embassy will give u visa for language purpose.lie.....
. REASON
We hv Goethe institute here in nija that teaches German to any level u want.
embassy will always advice u to complete ur language course Here b4 traveling

. YOUR BEST BET
if u sent wana spend one year at Goethe to lean German,u can apply for a foundation course which they teach in English n u can also learn ur German simultaneously
I hv a friend hu got it via agent n the agnt didn't charge him much.if u r interested,I can contact him on ur behalf .
I wish u all d best

Getting a language visa is possible only if you don't show how desperate you need it.

My advice for Leprof is, learn German here in Nigeria and get an admission letter from a Uni, not language school, stating that at the end of your Language course, you will be able to write DSH, which will enable you study here in Germany.
NB: you need at least B1 level to get this kind of offer.

UncleJudax:

Exactly how does one not show 'desperation'? I am yet to see anybody that guinuinely applies for a Visa and not do his best to get it, especially, given the hassle that comes with it.

Apparently, the record has shown that the probability of being referred to Goethe while seeking a visa via Language school is much higher than otherwise.
dnt mind this young pple coming here.they won't listen.
language schools in germo will promise them visa ,they dnt know that it doesn't work here in Nigeria.
after all,the language school will NT loss anything coz they will retain abt 400 euro for course reservation and its unrefundable.

Also, for someone who intends to enrol into a university after the language Kurs, he must return to Nigeria and apply for a student visa...isn't that supposed to be a turnoff?

I think the Germans deliberately made this rule to discourage language visa application.

So, why waste time, energy, and most importantly, Money?

​Good Morning everyone

I am an ardent follower of this new thread since it began a while ago and it's been filled with amusing, annoying, helpful and snobish folks... All facets of every human characteristics is ably represented here.

But I have also noticed that there are very few people taking up bachelor's degree in Germany, as most are going for masters degrees. Bearing that in mind, I feel it's time to start a new trend/line of information for people who are willing to take up bachelors degrees in Germany.

I will be documenting my experience here (as I am in the process of applying for a bachelor's degree) and will be answering any questions that anyone may have in that regard. I also in return will be looking forward to learn more from the experiences of others

SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I will be applying for a Bsc in Computer Science and a Bsc in informatics as my second option. All my documents are being processed in Germany from Language school, up to Studienkolleg and the University afterwards. I will be based in Cologne (this is where I hope to have my language course done). The student advisor in charge of my application suggested I take up an offer at a University of Applied Science (UAS) rather than a traditional research university (TU) because of the availability of job opportunities for students even before graduation. The jury is still out on what I will choose (Whether TU or UAS) but for now I will go along with his advice. They will also be handling the processing of my insurance as well.

I am being sponsored and therefore do not require opening a blocked account. Currently I am in the process of getting my WAEC and other certifications I had gotten afterwards, notarized at the German Embassy in Abuja. Hope to get that done by the end of today and I will be sending it via courier with DHL (I no get strength for NIPOST and their wahala abeg... Better soup na money kill am). If all goes well today, my documents should arrived in Germany by Thursday or Friday this week as DHL promised to have it delivered in 3 days.


My Journey So Far
My sponsor is an old friend of my dad and they lost touch for many years. Sadly he passed away while I was in high school. Fast forward to early this year, thanks to the power of social media (and my penchant for unnecessary research when I cant sleep) I reconnected with my dad's friend and turns out he was visiting Nigeria and Abuja was on his list. We met up and talked, asked about my plans for the future and I told him about my plans for Germany. He was refound out I spoke a bit of German on my own (I studied online and can maintain a semblance of a basic conversation) and later said I should begin looking at study options in Germany for which he would pay for.

He recommended a Language school and I got in touch with them (and a few others in Berlin and Cologne as well), But the one my sponsor recommended were more than willing to work with me (they also have a campus in Berlin as well in case anyone is looking to go there). They offer a university pathway program for about 2600euros (incl. Language courses from A1-B1). Then studienkolleg and Universty afterwards.

I have other certifications but they are not recognised but Anabin (the directory for all things certification in Germany). So it is deemed that I have only WAEC, and this is why I have to take up studienkolleg for 2 semesters after my B1 language course (you cannot go past B1 if you are heading to Studienkollege).

If you are already in a public university or any institution recognized by National Universities Commmission (NUC) and want to transfer to Germany, you can avoid 1 year of studienkolleg by providing them with your transcripts of your time in school. With these you can apply directly to University after completing your B2 or C1 German course and taking the TestDAF exam.

So today, I will be visiting the German Embassy in Abuja and will get my documents shipped off afterwards... Its free what from what the embassy told me if you are notarizing you documents for University.... Will keep you updated

Cheers
