Hi, i was going through the message trail and please i need your advice. I'm going for Msc in Cyber security at BTU Cottbus and my other option is Communication systems and networks at TH Koln. My issue is that my Bsc is in Quantity Surveying which is not IT related but over the years, I've worked as a network engineer and i plan on writing CCNA professional certification exam. I want to start applying before it gets too late but my fear is that i won't get the admission. What do i do?

Hi

The 'automatically' here means, you are eligible for the exemption 'without any story' not that you are excluded or if you want to continue with statutory providers, they will reject you.
Just go to the nearest AOK office and ask for the exemption letter. You might have to provide document(s) to show that you are over 30 or whatever document(s) they ask for nowadays.

Hi

Regardless of your work experience, those two (Quantity Surveying and Cyber Security/Communication Systems) are too far apart in my opinion and might be impossible to get such MSc admission. However, we are in the era of Industry 4.0 which is a huge theme in Germany, so if you search more, you might just be lucky to get other closely related courses to your BSc (but definitely not those two you mentioned).

Since I am not an admission officer, the most reliable source of truth on such will be the regulation document for the course (should be available online). If you manage to get the document, it will mostly likely be in Deutsch and might be too much and technical for you to even comprehend (assuming you even understand German) ---so dead end.

Conclusion.
Your path looks unique, which might made it a bit hard for people here to offer any form of guide.
Your best bet, get the contact of the admission/course coordinator from the corresponding website and send them all your questions with succinct details about your profile. Whatever the response you get (if you get any) from them is your truth.

For students in TH Koln. When you paid your semester fee, did the bank "sparkasse" deduct extra 20euros as charges. My friend that paid from DE said his friend had to pay extra 20euros

I want to pay from Nigeria using form A, I am thinking whether I should add that extra 20euros to the total amount.

Goztino:


(Nmax - Nattained/Nmax - Nlowest) x 3 +1.

Where

Nmax = Highest possible GPA to get (5 for university and 4 for polytechnic)

Nattained = The GPA you graduated with

Nlowest = Lowest possible GPA for a pass (usually 1)

I am sure, you can now use your simple Mathematical skill to do the computation by yourself using your own personal GPA as Nattained

please guys I need your suggestions and opinions on this

Gurus in the house please shed more light to this question. As a DAAD EPOS scholar are you expected to come back home after completion of the program or will be granted 18 months post graduation visa to stay back to seek for professional employment?

It is clearly stated that you MUST RETURN TO YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. That's the purpose of the scholarship program.

Hi all,

For studying in Germany, I suggest to get in touch with the University's faculty's student associations directly. They provide better responses that if you'd contact the generic university pages.

FYI, I am from Gambia and currently working for a local German employment company: https://universalhires.com/solutions/employer-of-record-eor-peo-germany/. We currently look for interns in our Berlin office to assist with BD for German companies going to Africa.

If you have any questions on getting started in Germany as a student, feel free to PM me. I'd be happy to help!

Best,
Sam

Can one get a €500 monthly student menial job (without knowledge of German)??

Also pls, how true is it that one would be needing another €10k for visa renewal after the first year?

Pls Sir, help me confirm these infos. Thanks ��

Hello house...pls how true is this new information that students are expected to provide another 10k BA for visa renewal??

Pls who has any idea on this? Pls ������

Thanks House.

The last time I checked, this depends on where you are studying. There are states/cities that have that as part of their requirements for renewal after the first year, there are some that do not, so it is nothing new unless there is now a new federal law that makes it mandatory for all the states to follow same requirement.

I have heard of other states that gives straight three-years (with or without conditions).
Your best bet is to talk to any Nigerian currently in the school you are or going (if you can get any) or contact your school foreign student office or check the website of your corresponding foreign office. Normally, this should be stated in your admission/enrollment guideline.

Hello house,

I graduated with a Hnd, Mechanical Engineering, and I also completed a one year top up program with the university of South Africa(Industrial/Mechanical Engineering). I did the top up, due to the Hnd/Bsc dichotomy. It has always been my aim to go for my masters in the U.S, but we all know how expensive it is to do so. I am considering the option of going for my masters in Germany, as it is quite cheap to do so. But then, I see lots of people on this thread with a Bsc degree traveling to Germany to attain yet another Bsc degree, and it makes no sense to me. Is it that the schools don't grant admissions for Msc studies?

I spent almost a million on the top up program I did, and it would make no sense traveling to Germany to attain yet another Bacclaurete. What are my chances of getting admitted for a masters with my Hnd and Btech(one year top up program)?

By the way, I would love to go for Energy Systems Engineering.

Your HND only qualifies you for Bsc 1st year in Germany. If you search more for information, you will be able to do your masters in the US. Just evaluate your HND with WES. Write the GRE, apply for scholarship and Assistantships and you are good to go. Another country to look at is France, since you have a top up degree, you qualify for a Masters and it's cheap. But with your Engineering degree, I'm sure you will be able to secure scholarships in the USA

You are already qualified for a masters degree in Germany... People that go for a second Bsc have their numerous reasons...Some graduated with not too good grade while others are trying to make a career change....

It's there. Take your time and search, you will see it. Search for the German name of the school
"Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg"

good morning all, I had a convo with my brother that's in Germany, he said he was granted asylum and told them he wanted to do his masters and he had a second class lower and after his masters, he got a job, can anyone back up his story or who has plied that route.

Can't back up the story directly. Didn't have such experience but know close friends who went thru that route. It's not the best of routes to use, cos of headaches and heartaches. Come the legal means as a student and have Ur peace.
