Do you think they will be able to waive some courses for me, just like direct entry in Nigeria Uni

NwadiNK:


Look for a school in Germany that has something to do with ur earlier discipline but have it in mind that u can only go for a BSc program.

No waive of any course. You will be running the program afresh. It's annoying I know, but thats the negative aspect the HND stuff...

Hello guys I'm new here (Silent reader tho).

I have tried to read as much as possible from all the threads (Skimming through Part 1 to and I am quite enlightened, many thanks for that,


I have HND from The Polytechnic, Ibadan (Public administration CGPA : 3.33) and would very much like to apply for winter session (BSc), pls fellow aspirants (BSc) and knowledgeable Nairalanders abeg give advice it is well appreciated and needed,

And again, any graduate of Poly Ibadan here, can you pls advise how you got letter of proficiency from our institution, (imagine Admin Secs saying they don't know what that means).

Please guys all advise is welcomed.

God bless you all, Nd more success to us.

AL, AD, More funds, and God's grace fall on all of us, Amen.

First if u are going for winter semester I assume that u ha e gotten school already, if not u better start looking fast because there are very few English thought courses for BSc in Germany, 90% are thought in German.

You have to get the sch first, then see if they accept English proficiency letter or of they are insisting on IELTS...

If they accept proficiency then explain to ur sch that they just need to state that all your causes during ur HND program were all thought in English, and that ur proficiency in English is never in doubt as evidence in ur academic records.

Hope this helps

you can also get an english medium of instruction sample off internet and show to the person involved. is not really a big deal for them to give u such.
this should be the easiest way to make them understand

Aizenosa:
Please anyone know where I can search for scholarships that are applicable to masters in German schools.

Thanks for your reply.

Please what are the cheapest schools in Germany for me to start my masters studies. Is university of Potsdam a free tuition uni?? I have the block account of 8 million already. I just need the next step to choosing my school. Please someone especially people already in Germany should share me a idea or two. I will be studying languages and cultural studies.

I went through daad.de and I came up with Potsdam and Leibniz Universität Hannover. Please help a brother that wants to make it in life

yezzyshow:

Search through Daad.de, there are many of them offering similar course in English for Bsc

I have searched please what is the next step after finding my desired course. And can you help me with which of this schools offer admission easily Leibniz Universität Hannover and potsdam

I'm currently trying to apply to a masters program in Germany for summer semester.
Pleas which school will you recommend for me course I'll be easily admitted. I'm a graduate of international relations and diplomacy

For people still finding it difficult to get their desired courses or those who intend to apply to schools without uni assist, you can check out this website mygermanuniversity .com. they have a more robust database than Daad.

You guys should be serious here. This is an academic thread and the quality of posts should reflect that.
You have to spend time to study the websites, requirements and education in Germany in general and should be able to do so without needed 'help'.
You need to study, you found a school, then what else do you need? Someone to tell you to read their admission requirements? Someone to tell you to gather required documents? Someone to tell you to click 'Apply'? Someone to tell you to email or fill a Contact Form for further enquiries?
Anyone seeking for a postgraduate study should be self-equipped to handle BASIC stuffs about applications and only ask technical questions.

Anyways, use available Daad.de and masterportal.com to filter your search, all public universities in Germany are tuition-free and you only have to pay semester fees of 270-300 EUR every semester to maintain your studentship.
Summer semester application has closed and Winter Semester applications will soon open and mostly close June 15th annually. Apply to several schools in related courses of interest you qualify for.
After admission offered, you begin the visa process and hopefully the situation will be better at the Embassy in Nigeria, before you start talking about blocked account.

Why not goggle about Centre for Cultural diplomacy Berlin, tho its a private institution

I have been reading this Thread I got to realized that I can only apply for Bsc with my HND cert.

Now my question are:

Must I apply through daad?

Are there any schools I can apply to directly for Bsc in business-related courses?

How much would I be required to Block for in Germany.

Do I need IELTS ?

I'm asking all these to know the financial implications before starting the journey

Thank you

With 8 million or a little above that will get you a canada study visa, that is if you can read through this thread religiously https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part

It is a DIY thread, trust me, with that amount you don't have a business here...Good luck to you.

Kekekeke and you have been reading this thread?

1. No; It is not a must.

2. You sort for schools and check if you can apply directly or need uni-assist

3. Let's just say 10,500 euro

4. Depends on your school but most times; Yes!

5. That's the end of the Q&A

NwadiNK:

No, he’s definitely going to get a waiver.
Go with your transcripts and course description and during the registration, they are going to compare the courses together. I’ve done it before at the Technical University of Munich. I took in my bachelor transcript and course description and I got a waiver. Stop misleading people on what you don’t have maximum information about.

Canada is time waster and destiny destroyer...I'll urge you guys to concentrate on your German japa if you know what you want...that's my 2 kobo

Now that I have secured an admission from a German University, what's next?

With 8 million i still think you can go to the UK. What is your first degree? Since UK have changed their visa laws you could get 2 years extra. With your MSc you can now go for Canada PR. Mind you if you are paying for MSc in the UK you will pay with PTA(Form A), so you will exchange at a good rate. I still strongly believe that anyone that can raise 6 mill for Germany can go to the UK.
