Welldone Sir... My schools require toefl score and an option for letter of English language proficiency. The minimum score for one of the schools is 100 but I had 93, I'm not willing to rewrite TOEFL... I wrote GRE too and the school made uploading GRE score optional. Please, what do u suggest I do in my own case? Do u think gre verbal score (151) plus a letter of English language proficiency can suffice?

dolpaz:


Its really unthinkable that you have 6 rejections with these Cgpa even when people with far lesser cgpa are nipping it. You have a good grade to get admitted into most Msc studies but the honest truth why you´ve been denied admission is because of language proficiency letter.

Most of the schools you listed up there requires IELTS. These schools instructs Uni-assist to process duly completed applications with all the required certificates submitted. so before Uni-assist process/forwards your documents, they run a thorough check on your documents and on seeing language profiency letter, they abruptly declined your applications.

My advise to any and everyone who wants to apply to study here is to try and get all the required certificates. Running away from IELTS would always bring about these kind of heartbreak at times. If you can spend close to 135€ for applying to schools, what´s stopping you in taking the pain to attempt ielts.. A simple 6.0 would have landed you series of admissions. Knowing fully well that there´s blocked account to be funded, I believe as little as 75,000 (160€) should not be a problem. I know its really challenging coughing out these cash but whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.

My candid advice to you:

You are almost there...

Try and attempt IELTS before september ending, then fire your application for summer.

I can assure you that your admission will fall through and you´ll be here for summer.

wishing you all the best !

Did ur school provide an option for letter of proficiency?

Please any naija student in Potsdam or Bielefeld? How is life there especially jobs?

I want to book an appointment for student applicant visa. Do I need the document proving my financial capability to book the interview or I should just tell them which means I'll use? It's really confusing me. They said I should send my name and address, passport copy, proof of financial resources but I don't know if they mean that I should send the sponsorship document or just to write that I'll use sponsorship letter.

I don't think booking a student applicant visa is applicable to Nigeria, I got that response ago when I mail the consulate regarding that, you can only book a student visa.

Those of you who have travelled to Germany, is Jena a good place? Hustle, education and social life being my main concerns.

Part 5 of this thread loading.

This is for the NEWBIES

Most of the schools in Germany are tuition free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town.
However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ;
1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros, when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month.
2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview.
3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.

Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process.
To search for schools, click on this link
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list
filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there.
Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are;
1. Transcript
2. English Proficiency
3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc)
However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows.
4. Curriculum Vitae
5. Motivation letter
6. Reference letters
7. GRE test
8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you.
Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book appointment for that.
For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need a HND.

For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information form there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some requires that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni assist crew.
Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.

When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date.
You need these to get an interview date:
1. Admission letter
2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter
3. International passport data page(scanned)
Then your Full name and Resident address.

Prepare for your interview
Go for your interview
Wait for your Approval mail(AM)
Get your AM
Congratulations and Welcome to Deutschland.

Hints:
- Please try and read previous posts, there are a lot of information in the previous threads. It'll do you a lot of good if you read a least one thread say part 3..
- If you have a specific question, you can always use Google to search for it. Use the key words "nairaland" and "German thread" after you've typed in your question on Google. For example, "where can I notify my documents, nairaland, German thread". This has helped me a lot too.
- Please while you're doing all the waiting, try and learn the language. You can use apps like Duolingo or you can learn on YouTube. But it is best to register in a German language school, I believe you'll learn faster that way.
- Do no hesitate to send an email to your school regarding any questions you might have, you'll be surprised how willing they are to help.

If there's any mistake in this right up, please bring my attention to it so that I can modify.

Justwise, could you please paste this information on the first page of the new thread. Thank you.

With what I have read so far on this forum, no one is helping out those who with just ordinary waec result or ond. For whom it may concern, those with weac or ond can also gain admission into this German universities but first you need to apply for a preparatory course. Preparatory course if valid for one year in the institute and afterwards if you pass you would automatically gain admission into the school. Secondly for those that don’t know, you can also travel to German with the aim of studying with STUDENT APPLICANT VISA: if you want to study in Germany, but are still trying to find the right program or you still haven’t got the confirmation letter from your University. So don’t panic for those that don’t have Bsc, Hnd or 100 level transcript. You can use this information given you. Never say never!

Have u opened an account (fintiba or x-pario)? if yes, then upload ur acct opening confirmation doc together with ur admission letter and Int'l passport data page to book for ur visa appointment.

sir we all know this process which is known as studienkollege and its in Deutsch language if you care to know many people have followed that route here.

If you are talking about travelling without admission I guess you are talking about language course route which I don't advise you to follow cos after the course you will come back for a proper student visa so sir we know this but we just want you to follow the easy way out.

So please my advice you can follow tru and get your year one university transcript or HND or better still learn Deutsche here in naija to B1 or B2.
A word is enough for the wise
