Junipero: Hello Nairalanders,

I got admission to study in HTWG Konstanz. they insisted on my attending their Studienkolleg (Preparatory Course). This would enable me to study efficiently with German Language. Actually I also passed my Goethe Exams B1 level in Accra in June. That really gave me an advantage. I have paid in enough money into my blocked account. I have also gotten an Insurance confirmation from Allianz insurance. I also possess a proof of Student's accomodation. Everything is falling in place....but..

My only worry is the interview. i got D7 in maths(WAEC) and my NECO is not so good. I dnt knw if this would pose a problem to me. Someone told me i would be given a maths test to write at the interview. And i dont know if there is any extra document i would have to bring along for d interview.

So please could anyone give me relevant assistance or answers? Would really appreciate.


(NB: THOSE INTERESTED IN LEARNING GERMAN AND ALSO STUDYING IN GERMANY WITH GERMAN LANGUAGE COULD ALSO PUT FORWARD THEIR QUESTIONS TO ME.)

first off, what course did you opt for and hope you don't mind me asking your age?

Katangora: nice one bro, I'm surprised a black lady now conducts student interview, I only hear of a certain old white woman.. Pls share the questions who were asked here

Na black lady oo but speaks german like crazy... She ask abt purpose of study,why i chose d course n university,my first semester courses, geographical stuffs abt german like borders dat surrounds gemany and features abt d city am goin and so on. Its Nothing u cant handle if one is a genuine student.one love

bro I don't tink there is any other language school that teach german rather than goethe av searchd 4 goethe lernin centers worldwide and I only dicoverd dat of lagos in nigeria.

Omojayejaye: @honourableseyi I will let you know whenever I find anyone near us.....am trying to favour aussie over germo cause I heard dat it is easier to obtain permanent residency in aussie and there are career jobs.. compared to menial jobs and dat no chance to stay back in germo.....like u said germo is not expensive ....education is free in 12states.....that's y am considering d place but d bone of contention is the language coz am not putting in for postG but underG....coz I no wan com home....tanx...

In my own opinion, I believe there will be jobs in Germany too provided you have scale through the language hurdle/barrier. Menial jobs is meant for you to support yourself during study after which you can step up from there. I am not sure of any country where you can get career jobs as an undergraduate international student becaus there will be limitation on the number of hours you can work on weekly basis but I don't know much about Aussie though. As for not coming back, please don't go for interview with this orientation and mindset ooo. lols. Seriously the current German immigration law is favourable in the sense that you can stay legally for 18 months and search for job that will be fetching you some certain amount of money after your study. Also, since you are going for undergraduate program, you can opt in for Msc when you are through with your Bsc and then Phd depending how you want it. By the time you will be through with all these qualifications, you must have known what is going on for real. Above all, put God first and allow Him to direct your steps. Shalom

Capt. JH Miller:

Very bad idea.. Transcript is not suppose to to be given to him but mailed to the school directly. Might make people lose their jobs that have nothing to do with it.

He who must go to equity must go with clean hands, you are not meant to see the transcript. Its an official document . So don't sue the university. Also, don't use the transcript because it will be assumed that if the school can make such mistake, being a product of that school you will do worst, however, sending the transcript will strengthen a negative believe about the reputation of your university/ Nigeria universities and hereby reducing chances for prospective student. I believe in the slogan, there is always time to do things right. Please, re visit your institution and obtain a new transcript when the strike is over. God bless you, Nairalanders and Nigeria.

We can make Nigeria proud!!!

I did my interview today and was not giving any Maths test. I thank God I was Able to answer all their questions but it was the old German lady kind of harsh but all was ok, I was told my application as been sent to Germany and once they get reply they will inform me. praying hard now and in panic. I need God favour.

Hello guys,
I intend travelling to Germany middle of next year. But I'm applying for a language school and later to a university to apply for another degree. My WAEC is ok and if not for ASUU i should have been a graduate. How good are my chances of getting a visa?

Bros, what kind of question do they ask in the interview

Guy. U've finally crossed the bridge. It's gonna be Successful by God's Grace.

Go and apply for diploma. If you are in Lagos try Unilag but its just that application has closed for the coming session moreover it is somehow expensive.

Getting a visa with Language course does not increase your chances of getting visa but diminish it. Since they have language school here in Nigeria, why do you want to go to Germany with the same purpose?When you can spend less here. If you have been following this thread from page 1, it has been noted that going for a language course is a red flag. Don't think about getting admission alone, but think about what the V.O will think before taking any step. But I believe your best bet under this circumstance is to go through studentkollege if you don't have a year university transcripts or A-level. You may also be lucky with ND provided your school is not under uni-assist. Also, going through the studentkolleg will required you to register for German class at Goethe institute in Lagos, write the exams, get your A2/B1/B2 certificate and apply with it. I believe my ogas at the top will shed more light on this though. Shalom
