Masters in natural resource management at TH Koln. Are you also applying?

I think you should be quick about it as most will end around September and October.

I already applied for the DAAD Helmut Schmidt program and the deadline was July 31st.

Thursday 16th August

Have you mailed the embassy about the delay? And which travel insurance did you use?

Chai. I have missed a lot. Never knew there's a thread like this in NL. I just stumbled on it.
I pray I can give my interview transcript and testimony here too just like others.
This is the issue; and I hope I can find solutions here.
I applied for EuroMPM in Fachhochschule Dortmund
University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Germany with the orientation that it's a tuition free masters program; of course I am well aware I'll have to pay for my living expenses, transportation costs etc. and I am ready to handle that. Not until I finally got a mail on 20/08/2018 that "The status of your online application in the university portal changed", I logged in and alas I've been offered admission.
I was extremely happy until when I got to know of "proof of financial means" for visa vis-a-vis when I'm expected to be in Germany and then when the course starts fully.
I received a mail that I've been admitted to the school on 20/08/2018, I'm expected to be in Germany between 1st and 30th September and course work starts fully 15/10/2018.
Looking at the proof of financial means, the duration is just too short for me to gather [€8640] about 3.5 million to open and send to a German block account...
I don't know anyone is Germany that can provide a sponsorship certificate for me to use for my visa and the duration is also too short to get a scholarship as most scholarships have already closed and the ones that are open wouldn't even meet up with the timeline
I tried to defer the admission but I got a negative response that I will have to reapply in 2019, which the admission isn't sure then.
Does anyone have an helpful opinion? I believe there must be someone here that had similar issue and was able to scale through... I'd really appreciate your candid suggestions and opinions cos this is the time I need it most.

Have u gotten visa interview appointment?

ansellotty:


UNIBEN? I studied Economics and Statistics @ UNIBEN; Class of '16. Send me a PM.

Good morning people,

My interview is on the 6th Sep. and i havent seen any fellow going the same date to connect with.
please anyone going for interview on 6th should quote me for PM.

Question:
Someone said the VO saw that his brother is his sponsor, where is the sponsor written?

thanks.

heybaby12:


You don't have school ID's

No I don't, Have decided to use my secondary school testimonial as bilogically old docs

Thanks alot for your reply..The course is 100% English.. I will wait for their response as you said..thank You

victree007:

You should wait to hear back from the embassy if that is acceptable or not. Although I haven't heard of a case like this before but let me ask, is any of your course modules going to be taken in German? If so, the embassy could be requesting for a German language certificate. However, if you are sure knowledge of German is not required then sit back and wait for embassy's feedback regarding your TOEFL.

johndoefoo:


When is your enrollment date?

10th September

Rosicky7:
Have u gotten visa interview appointment?

No, I haven't applied since I don't know which way to go with the proof of financial means as it is part of the requirements to get a visa

OBYNOWEST12:



Please can I add you up so that you can tell me more about this scholarship..

Honestly I really don't know much about the scholarships, just use Google tirelessly to check up the various opportunities available. And you have to be very fast about. like I earlier said, also work out other means for funding your studies. All the very best. cheers

I would do that now, I used AXA mansard

INCREDIBLE015:

Have you mailed the embassy about the delay? And which travel insurance did you use?

For those that have funded and even gotten AM how did you find your block account? Did you buy from. Aboki it is there another alternative?

He was in room 3 on my own date (28/08/18).

dailydolar:
He was in room 4 on my own day that's 16th of august so guess they change room

What I'm about to write now is my experience and should be used as a mere guide and you can decide to follow it or not. I'll not be scrutinised for it.

The way to follow Paulinus is by being smart, quick and give him the impression you absolutely know what you're doing.
I went with my NECO and WAEC. I only intended to use my NECO because my WAEC had a wrong date of birth. Paulinus saw my WAEC lying idle and he of course used me to shine. Shouted and threatened to send me to the back. So I added the WAEC just to make him happy. Immediately I went inside, I carefully removed it. After my interview, I asked the VO must I use both WAEC and NECO? He said NO!!!!! So why would Paulinus ginger me to use both results?

Give Paulinus the impression you're on top of things. He wouldn't put eye in your matter.
Cheers and good luck.

Just not to rush things or put yourself in much pressure... check i you can differ the admission to summer. This will help you plan well and prepare for funding.
Or do you plan to still try out this Winter?

elnasabdallah:

Alright that's fine then. While you are waiting for the embassy to reply you, please know that there is a saying that says "no reply or no news is good news"
In order words, if they don't reply you it means that is good news

UbiPetrus:
I think you should be quick about it as most will end around September and October.

I already applied for the DAAD Helmut Schmidt program and the deadline was July 31st.

Yes i am finalizing it coz the deadline is 30th Sep. Do you know any alumni from these scholarships? there's some info we should know like the number of scholarships available, post study requirements, tips for success etc

God morning Fam, please can anybody one who's going for Peace and conflict or MA in international relations and global governance apply for daad scholarship?

You major issue is that you cannot get a visa appointment in time to meet up with ur enrollment deadline. I will advise you defer that admission to next semester

I actually tried differing to winter, I sent a mail to that effect and this was the mail I received 2 days ago.

Thank God for His Grace.. It was a successful interview - and my wishes were granted. I was interviewed by the guy in a punk haircut. He has no problem - so easy going and reassuring.

So, I woke up by 2:54 am, six minutes before my alarm rang. I zoomed off to VI around 3:50 am. It was tough to find a parking space, and I was like "wetin be this one again?" Eventually I got a parking space opposite the Indian Embassy.

I got to German Embassy gate by 4:49, and was number two on the queue. We all lined up there until about 5:40, when we saw a slightly bald man arranging sits and stools, and giving orders to the police men - and I realised that was the Great Mr Paulinus.

He barked here and there, and all we kept saying was "sorry sir, we are sorry sir". We did all the routine security checks and sat for our turns at the Visa section - It felt like the abroad man. So I got a notification to enter the third cubicle:

Me: Good morning
V.O : Welcome to the German Embassy. So, is it for Bsc or Masters?
Me: It's for MSc please.

V.O: which school are you going to?
Me: University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart.
V.O: for which program?
Me: I'm going to study MSc International Business and Economics.
V.O: Can I have your documents please? The original and copies...
Me: Passed them through the counter, and paid for the Visa fees as well.
V.O : I need an extra passport photo please. It should be on white background.
Me: I checked my pocket and I saw passport photos in red background. (Lmao, I've been trusting my village people for being good people all these years, why would they come and fall my hand at the interview nau?) Luckily I found and extra photo. I passed it on.

V.O : why study this course in Germany, when you can actually study it in Nigeria?

Me: Actually, I've chosen to study it in Germany because no university offers it year as a joint degree, in addition, the approach in Nigeria is not interdisciplinary in context (or nature).

V.O : Why Germany and not UK, Us or Canada?
Me: Germany offers best value for education, and its universities are more affordable than those in the me too education countries. The unis in Germany are highly ranked in the World University Rankings.

V.O : why this course?

Me: I want to study this course, so that I will attain a management position in the nearest future. I want to gain skills in applying econometric methods in the solving of management problems. I will also learn how business is approached from a global perspective. It will also help me to expand my professional network.

V.O : After this course, what next?

Me: Come back to Nigeria (as if) just in time to help my company plan and strategize on how we are going to expand our business to ECOWAS nations like Ghana and Ivory Coast. I will like to be in the team that will set the plans and strategies... Furthermore, in the future, the knowledge from course will be needed, so that I can render management consultancy services to the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment, where I would give advice on how to develop strategies for enhancing Nigeria's exportation, and to give the ministry a sense of globalization. I believe that this will be my way of contributing to the country.

V.O : I hope you have a motivation letter
Me: Yes, an original and two copies, please.

V.O : Have you paid school fees.

Me: No, not yet. The uni strictly said that I should pay after I must have got a Visa.

V.O : Have you learnt German?

Me: I have not registered for a course at the institute, but have been learning online, so that when I get to Germany, I will intensify the study at any institute there.

V.O : Facts about Germany

Me: (The normal yarns. Just that I added jara in my own. I even mentioned the three seas which the rivers flow into)

V.O : is that all?

Me: (I gave a shout out to Angela Merkel, and Frank Walter Steinmeier, and the dates they assumed office, and the roles the play, then I mentioned that the President has no party)

V.O : Are you sure he has no party? I mean, if you say plays a neutral part, it doesn't mean he has no party.

Me: yes, he was in the CDU before he became president and assumed neutrality.

V.O : where did you graduate from? And which year? What have you been doing since.

Me: I graduated with a Bsc in Marketing from the University of Port Harcourt. Graduated in 2015 and convoked in 2016. I got a job as a graduate intern, until it was time for nysc, and the company retained me as an nysc staff, and subsequently gave me full time employment.

V.O : Do you have any questions?

Me: Yes. Please, I was told to bring a biometrically old document, should I submit my ID card? Oh! Here's my scratch card.

V.O : we don't need the ID card. Sign this paper and copy the email address. Once you fund a blocked account, kindly send us an email for confirmation. Henceforth, all communication will be via email. That would be all...


In addition, don't let Paulinus get to you. Be obedient and don't do what you were not asked..
