Thanks a lot. But I noticed that those universities are all asking for IELTS or TOEFL which I don't have. I wish I can get one that doesn't require them

A conditional admission will do for now. What I mean by this - is that the school will state the conditions you will need to meet before it becomes unconditional, the conditions you can fulfil at a later time.

Apply to any course of interest. The entry requirement is usually stated. Once you meet the entry requirement, go ahead and apply. Your application will be reviewed and you might be given admission; note that this is a decision for the school to make.

The conditional admission thing comes to play when you can't provide all required documents at the time of application and the school deem you fit for admission.

Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Pls what of Geosciences.

Boswell89:

Pls what of Geosciences.

University of Derby, University of Portsmouth, University of Birmingham, Royal Holloway University of London.

NB: NDDC scholarship is pegged at US$30,000; so it won't be sufficient to pay for a geoscience program in schools like University of Manchester, Imperial College London, Herriot Watt University, University of Leeds et al.

But what can be an alternative for a WAEC without at least a credit in English and no IETLS

By the way, thanks a lot for being so helpful on this thread

An Electrical/Electronic B.Eng holder with various computer skills, and have been learning German Language out of great interest through various means, including concluded language classes at Goethe Institute Nigeria from level A 1 to B 2.
I've been teaching students with passion, occasionally for self improvement and in preparation for Goethe level A 1 to B 1 certificate examinations.
My techniques and schedules are always well tailored to suit us both, learning with comfort, great zeal and hard work, utilizing the best of our time, and at the end to yield good results.
I also look forward to working with an Organization that requires my proficiency and skills in German Language or other fields. It would be a pleasure to work with you someday, and do my best professionally and committedly in assisting you achieve success in your endeavours.
*Free introductory lecture.
*Extra tips and clarifications on visa requirement & processing for family reunion / students visa (from application stage to various german universities, to preparation for visa interview etc...)
Price is negotiable, and location can be determined (preferably within the axis of lagos, port harcourt or warri for now). thanks.
