please any ex futoite in the house.. How did you get letter from the university to attest that english was the medium of instruction..

please anybody with meaningful info should help ASAP

Eke40seven:

Send a message to the coordinator or international office and explain that you have been taught in English all your life and your country's official language is English.
They might waive it, I think the school did in the past.

Thank You EKe40seven...I'll do just dat.

Pauluche:
I'm sorry, this may raise up past issues but this is in response to a post by Eke40seven which I read sometime ago. I couldn't reply because I was tied up with so many stuffs.
Boss Eke I do not know where and how you got those information that you wrote about Jena in this thread however, I am writing to debunk those claims.
Firstly, while I do not encourage people to borrow huge sum of money in a bid to get to Germany, I wouldn't discourage anyone who is willing to try out their luck. Fate has a way of repaying everyone for their effort.
Secondly, to that guy who's thinking of coming to Jena, please do. You are highly welcome! In fact do whatever it takes to see your dream of coming to Germany become a reality.
Jena is NOT exactly the way Eke painted it. It is a city not some suburb. There are student jobs in Jena, Erfurt, Nora, Weimar to mention a few. All you require is good command of the German language. Without German knowledge, the probalilty of you getting a job in Jena is slim you may have to go out to the other cities which I mentioned earlier.
I am not trying to defend the city but in all honesty having a student job here is more profitable than having it in the big cities. Why? On the average a prudent student will not spend more than 380-420 euros per month. House rent 180, insurance 83, feeding and other petty things make up the balance. Now how many ''big cities'' can average that? I know of people who pay 450-550 euros per month on rent alone.
Even if you decide to not work you can still save as much as 250 euros per month.
Finally most Nigerians and indeed Africans in Jena have jobs. We all know the nature of student jobs......
I know of a friend who borrowed 1.4million naira. He earns around 400-450 euros per month from his mini job. As I write this, he has been able to send 4600 Euros home in the space of seven months! How did he do it? He's been living on his earnings and hasn't touched the money in his block account for seven months!
So Boss Eke I do not understand where those statement of yours emanated from.
Anyone who's not had a Job since they got here probably haven't put in enough effort in getting one or they have no knowledge of German.
I recently decided to prove to myself that there are jobs in this city by going out in search of a job. There was virtually no place I stopped by that they didn't consider giving me a mini job so what are we saying?
Conclusively, if you are to risk borrowing, ensure that:
You are knowledgeable in German
You have a fair idea of the job condition in that city
The city you intend to live in is relatively inexpensive.

My one cent advice.

Okay. Wait, you will hear from the horse's mouth soon.
We all know 95% of the people leaving here cannot speak German. So I am speaking as a Nigerian.
I will probably invite someone soon, one has spent 2 years and the other 1 year plus. They will feed you the hard truth!
"If you are hoping to make some money while schooling and you are from Nigeria. I will warn you again DON'T GO TO JENA!!!!!!!!" That was a quote by someone who schooled in that environment for almost 2 years now.
Two people living in the city and close by have warned me personally.
A friend Tosin is even moving down south for Oktoberfest jobs.
If it was as rosy as you painted, you won't travel all the way down to Graben here in Bavaria almost 10 hours by bus to do an interview for a job. I stay relatively closer to Graben but yet still considering the sacrifice and inconvenience.
Do you live in the city? You might have been lucky to get one though, but in general many will find it tough.
Since you live there, no shit then.
I support people living in smaller and cheaper cities where there are jobs than bigger cities because of cost of housing. However, if you stay in a studentenwerk accommodation, things level themselves out. Studentenwerk München doesn't come cheap though compared to other places.

Itstyme:


Are you going for Bsc or Msc. I am considering BTU Cottbus as well. Have you applied via uni-assist?

I applied for both Via Uni-assist, what programme are you considering to apply for?

Go to Registrar/Exams and Records at the former SEET Head. They'll direct you on the app process.

@takeastep thank you for your prompt response. I'm joining my spouse and she is a German citizen. The verification of my documents /marriage has been successfully concluded since January this year and I have been issued with a german marriage certificate. I wonder why the visa is still taking time after my application in April.

Thanks

Please house, those a bsc in physiology relates with a postgraduate course in cosmetic science, I need candid opinions please ,thank u

Cosmetic science. May be an advanced option in relation to physiology since physiology has to do with the body (normal functioning and behaviour of the body) and cusmetics and toiletries are used on the body. Am sure some courses taken at the bsc level would be related or a bit similar to what would be taught at the msc level of cosmetics science.

I hope it helps

takeastep:
No need to panic.

Family reunion visa takes about 3-4 months. Even more in some cases. Though based on individual circumstances.

For more info: Are you joining your spouse, or family?

Hi, Good morning.....
Just write a formal letter addressing it to the registrar requesting for an English proficiency letter, at the end write down the names of the schools that you want the letters to be addressed to. Attach a copy of your statement of result and submit at Senate (registrars office). Mine took less than a week. You'll collect the letter, at the old SEET head. Goodluck!

Ps: you can apply for as many as possible.

In other news, I received a notification of admission into M.Sc Electrical Engineering from University of Rostock today. I am still waiting for the main one from University of Siegen( M.SC Mechatronics) comes the last week in June.Mechatronics rocks.Anyone with me on Unisiegen ( M.Sc Mechatronics) ? Many shout out to kelvinPam, the main man in Siegen.

hello brother.. I think jus4c also applied for mechatronics. Congrats on your admission.

liftedkris:
did u just advise people not to sign the depositor form? Why? I remember it was that same naija woman that attended to me the day I went to submit mine. She makes a lot of mistakes, she even collected the old form from me and I was bounced bk by DB. I letter resent without writing anything in tax ID etc and not signing depositor form and was bounced bk again and asked to sign it by DB. My guy I pray for u today

Really? This same lady checked the last page and asked why I signed it, collected my passport to check if it is the same and said 'who asked you to sign it' btw, i am not saying they will not sign it eventually they will when they get to the consulate..I am saying do not sign it before hand besides, when you see a blank space why not ask why you are not signing in that space as well? my tax id if filled and your prayers are appreciated. I have not dealt with her before but as @futurewise11 has said she makes mistakes I hope mine isnt one of them

Good day all

Please who has been admitted to Universität Bremen for Environmental Physics or any other course.. Pls add me on bbm lets talk 58D5E69D.

i know this someone said he/she registered using the portal for visa application...that, is what i addressed. I am updated

honourableseyi:



Nearly everybody knows that. The online booking system people are talking about recently is the new embassy procedure for those that want to certify document or open block account at the embassy. Starting from the 1st or 2nd of June, the era of going to the embassy between Mon-Wed for certification and block account opening without appointment will be over. Get updated. Shalom

both schools are great considering your course. In my opinion i'll choose Aachen. Admission into that school could be difficult and you scaled passed it. So you can probably handle what eva is thrown at you. Bremen is also cool. There is a reasonable black presence there with respect to nigerians too. So both school are great. It would be difficult making a choice. Good luck man.

If i get you clearly, you submitted your application in April? If Yes, youy time starts counting the day you submitted the application. The embassy in Lagos will still have to send your application to the aliens authority {Ausländerbehörde} in your proposed city of visit. The aliens authority have the final say. Embassy in Lagos cant do or send you anything until and unless they hear from the aliens authority.

I advice you wait till exactly after 2 months, if you still dont hear anything, find the contact email and perhaps phone number of the aliens authority in your proposed city {use google}, table your case clearly with them and be patient for response.

In addition, if your spouse resides in Germany, tell her to visit the aliens authority on your behalf. Give her your application details including reference number. She will definitely get a response from them.

I hope you find this information helpful.

Good luck.

Hmmmm... they will still get back to you. I sent my pre-check documents to them on the 8th of February,2016 and got a feedback from them on the 16th of April,2016. I was informed to provide a proof of English Language skill which was never part of the initial requirements. Seeing this , I replied them that it was clearly stated on the application page of M.SC(Embedded System for Mechatronics) that an applicant whose bachelors programme was completed in English Language need not provide such a proof.The programme coordinator made me to understand, from his reply, that the particular statement I quoted was no longer valid. My application was turned down on this premise.So, chill, they will still send you a mail but be ready to supply information about your English language skill.

This is serious, will take my mind off it then at the moment. I have english proficiency certificate if they need it.

Thank you @jbadmus

Yeah both schools are very cool.. But in RWTH Aachen, I will have to do both Masters College which will cost 5500€ and the Master program itself which will also cost 238€ per semester. Then in Bremen, i will just do the main Masters Programme which will cost only 289€ per semester.
