I'm also going for Bsc but I didn't write an exam. Is there a reason why she'll make you write the exam?
Probably if you finished secondary school a while ago or just recently.

emeka55: @Eke40seven..... the questions are much but i will try to answer them.

1. I choose to skip this part for private reasons
2. German education and Nigerian education are way different. Here you have to do a lot of research and study to know it, not just to pass exams. Going for lecture is not compulsory except in some lectures that require participation to be awarded marks.
The classrooms are like banking halls and the lecturers are very open minded and helpful. They don't need you to quote what is in your handout before u pass, Having an idea is enough to get your marks. There is NO COPY AND PASTE. They will find out and it can lead to your de-registration from school.
Most master courses usually require 90 credits with 3 chances to rewrite any failed course.
An average master takes 2yrs but the truth is you can do it for 5yrs if u like, As long as u have the finance to extend your visa, that's the scope some guys use to extend their stay. (u didn't hear it from me).

3. There are challenges like, sometimes it is difficult to understand the professor because of the way they speak their English. They don't know all the words in English and sometimes use the wrong words to confuse u.
Some German students can be rude at times. It is easier to get along with the International students as u are all in the same shoes.
Sometimes u sit in some lectures and don't understand anything cos what they teach is too high for your level and u begin to wonder how you got your BSc.
The German students are very private and would never ask u and don't expect u to ask them. For the most part, they are nice and willing to help.
Combining work with study is difficult but possible. Some companies don't care if u are writing exams, if u are not there when they need u, they will fire u.

4. There are many international students here but mostly exchange students from European countries. Not so many Nigerian students.
Sometimes it is even difficult to find Nigerian students but u will always know them with the way they behave.
There are 3 types of Naija students:
(a) The ones who form and live fake live speaking like Americans and forming fresh. All their friends are white and when they get introduced to other Nigerians, they start to act like they met Ebola. Yet you'd be surprised to see them in the midnight doing the same job u do.
(b) The ones that are just liberal and go with whatever comes
(c) The ones that are soaked in Naija way, rapping pidgin, moving only with Nigerians, always reminding u to hustle and save, quarelling and arguing, make u feel at home etc...
If u are a Newbie, most of ur friends will be other foreign/exchange students but when they return to their countries, you will be lonely.

5. Integration at first was hard. I always got lost on the road, too many papers to sign, accomodation, boredom, job seeking, language barrier, people staring at you...etc
I got accomodation easily by joining Facebook pages and contacting people before i came. I spent money unnecessarily eating out and going to places because i was bored and didn't have many friends.
Germans are not racist, but they are very shy and would never talk to u first. That is the way they are to everyone and people mistake it for racism. Some Germans are so obsessed with Americans and when they see a goodlooking black guy speaking English, the first thing they ask u is are you American? when u say African they show a bit of disappointed but quickly get friendly.

6. To prospective Naija students, It is worth it. Germany is a dream come true and everything works. U can travel anywhere u want to. U can go to London for a weekend with a flight as cheap as 50 euros and visa is very easy. American visa if applied for is 2yrs gbam!!! Canadian visa is like making eba. As long as u have the finance, your residence card and good purpose of visit.
Germany is very safe and the police is efficient. U dare not talk to people anyhow or get into a fight. If anyone calls the police on you, it goes into your file and will affect u even in 20yrs to come.
There are jobs, whether language or not but u must swallow your pride and do what others are doing.
It is getting cold now so buy sweaters and pull overs with jeans. Don't bother buying many shoes as it will soon be winter and u won't wear them.
When u come here, mind who u tell your life story to. Not everyone is your friend. Apply to as many schools as possible and don't loose hope. I got rejected by 13 schools and passed the last minute.
If u are a Christian, your best bet here would be to join a church. I tell u they can really help. If I can speak the language fluently, I'll never live in anywhere else than Germany.

Shoutout to oga Godson, that guy is a good guy.
I am tired of typing. hope my 2 spoons help.

I cant help it but quote this beautiful piece..
Keep up the good work emeka.. By the way, expect a mail from me soonest.
Other Ogas In germo should also air their views.
One Love !

I was asked to rearranged my docs before i cud come in for the interview. she took my e passport, my visa forms and put my details in her system. we began, trust me the questions are just like the questions posted here in NL but i will add, after the oral interview i was given a paper interview(no b small). primary school maths. the maths was even harder than calculus for me cos have forgotten some of those things. after the interview i was asked to go that they will get back to me. I thank God for everything.

Probably if you finished secondary school a while ago or just recently.

I think, it all depands on how one compose his/her self wen asked questions, you know some people can be so naive wen answering questions, and another thing is lack of preparation tooo.

my fear is just that i have applied to sweden embassy before and the agent i used then gave me a fake statement of account,so when she asked me and i told her the reasons for my rejection ,i come dey fear say make she no use that against me,because that even happpend like 5years ago

Re: German Embassy And Visa by preshveli(m): 5:54pm On Aug 29, 2014
esdajo: Hello house! I am very confused here and would really appreciate your contributions and/or advice regarding this issue. I was offered an admission for my Masters (LLM) in Germany. Lectures commences on October 13th, 2014. I was at the German Embassy here in Lagos on Monday being August 25th,2014 for the opening of a student blocked account. I submitted the forms and was given two (2) slips with which I sent an email for a student visa appointment. I received an email stating that the interview was scheduled for October 6th, 2014 ( a week before lecture commences), I sent an email asking them for an earlier date but was told that its not a possibility on account of the fact that they are already fully booked.

My questions goes thus:

(1) How long does it take to get a feedback from Deutsch Bank regarding the account details (Account numbers) from the day of submission of the forms at the German Embassy?

(2) What are my chances of getting the visa considering the very short period between my interview date and the date the school will resume?

(3) Is is advisable that I defer the admission until summer 2015 and use the new admission letter for the interview or I should use the same one with winter 2014 resumption?

All meaningful contributions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

u dnt have to b confused
the bank shud get back to u in two weeks

u will get ur visa if u pass ur interview...ur resumption date doesn't affect ur visa rather check ur adms letter for d enrollment deadline, that's what matters cos if u dnt meet ur enrollment date in Germany u wnt b accepted by d sch in Germany.

just relax n prepare for ur interview

kunlelikeme: the lady asked have i been to germany before? i said no
have i applied for german visa before? i said no
she now asked,have u applied for schengen visa before? i told her yes
she said what country,i told her sweden in 2009
she later asked,what was the reason for my rejection?i told her the agent that i gave the job them caused it then,that there was document issues....which is fake?
so i am thinking if i had lie to her,they might check and see the records. so i just told her the truth.
as for the examz,it was just simple arithmetic o....but just becos i was rushing and wasnt expecting the exam with some kind of headaches,i made silly mistakes...and from the exam,out of 5 i am sure of geting 2/5 which is totally bad.
i hope my mistakes from the past will not haunt me down and also with a mark of 2/5,what are my prospects?
and also maybe its becos i am going for undergraduate is the reason for the exam.

@illuminati...infact God must do wonder on this,cos i will be dissappointing alot of people.and also those guyz that you said was contacted witihn 6days to come for their denial,hope they were given the opportunity to appeal their denial?and hope it later went well...cos i read some people appealed and was later given the visa
those primary maths z harder than calculus today...

Re: German Embassy And Visa by Eke40seven(m): 7:38pm On Aug 29, 2014
@ebele17, Miss Scholar, your interview was raised a notch higher. Good job. Germany awaits you.

Someone once told me that EVERY question you will be asked is drawn from the DAAD recommended letter of motivation/statement of intent for Pakistan, EXCEPT for maybe questions relating to your sponsor. If you can bring out time to assess your self using that guide, THOROUGHLY coupled with what's on this thread, those interviews will be a walk over. I still feel they may subject one to tests if they are not convinced of one's ability or intents. All what ebele17 did (though unconsciously) looked like something drawn straight from that guide. I think the best way to save yourself from these mathematical embarrassment is to make proud your level of preparation and knowledge through your spoken grammar, confidence and composure. Make una no go steal una small siblings pry maths textbooks o, or make agbalagba come dey use iko shout "...junior solve this maths in my front, now! olodo.....you play too much..." Junior no go know say uncle/aunty want learn maths from him hand.

Afodam247, don't despair, in fact this is an opportunity for you to stand up, look at that aspect where you may need to correct and work on it. I suggest you post those aspects here i.e your intents so that people can criticize and improve on it (I will volunteer too), I believe you will come out victorious, I still draw great inspiration from emeka55 and Lacuna's experience, read what he posted and learn from it. Any other person in such situation should not hesitate to come forward to draw help from the well of resources here.

I was thinking from recent happenings, Is there a correlation between this Ebola virus and high level of difficulties in the interviews? Answers, anyone?

In the absence of our germo ogas coming forward to answer the questions on Nairopera Lanfrey show. I will continue with our special guess, emeka55. tune in.....
..be back right after this break....
