tossbal4real: Thanks a lot for the Info but I still have tons of questions (smiles). Professor Adeyemi is very fine and He is doing well, funny enough my final year project 2010 was in engineering geology too but I was supervised by Dr Oyediran (Bora)!

Anyways bk to my questions; 1. pls what do you mean by certified copies. 2. What month did you send your docs and when did they reply you? 3. About the IELTs exam: what score would be considered competitive enough 4. Do I need to contact any of the professors for potential supervision prior to been admitted.
Also, Nigeria is an english speaking country, am just wondering about the IELTS exam. Please Advise. Thanks

my dept required TOEFL or IELTS, it wasn't optional. I don't know about geology! Buh I did TOEFL

tossbal4real: .
Thanks a lot, would do just that! We must know each other then! I finished in 2010, Tosin! Should ring a bell I guess cos there we're not many girls in my set. Thank you once again and wish you all the best.

tossbal4real: Hi Aflynvir, I also finished from UI, department of geology and am looking to do my masters in the same Uni in Germany. Please what was your graduating set and how did you go about the application. I have already conducted some personal research but your experience would be more authentic as a guide in these issues. Thanks

contact @dimitroika since he is starting MSc in geology there! Departments usually have various admission procedure.

Godson201333: Yeah she can even ask a single question twice trying to see if you will change your reply..Just stay positive bro,very soon you will have a good news.

how are we expected to answer questions on course structure and how is it different from modules and curriculum

futurewise11: @dmitroka,
I was interviewed by the same woman.i guess she has alot to do within a short time.she prefered yes or no answer and she doesnt want ur compliment.

I was fortunate to understand her before the interview.even the receptionist there says her interview is very fast.

@all pls dont go to german embassy without adequate preparation.

Her question was based on the following
-purpose of travelling.
-study program,structure and curriculum.
-your sponsor(occupation)
-location of your school.
-intension after studies.
-accomodation.

pls what's the difference between study program, structure and curriculum

dmitroika: well, if that's the case i showed humility and respect oh.. i was calm all through. Even after the interview i told her "thank you and have a pleasant day". Her response was cool.

Abeg enlighten us! How are we supposed to answer the structure of course question pls! So that the Frau will not chew us! Mine is very soon o!

Godson201333: Yeah that is true even in our so called Nigeria,We face Tribalism...You must be ready to face some challenge in life and not just the challenge also how to over come it.

you are too much with this ur reply! Thanks! God bless you bruv

topeajis: That very true they are very rude and they believe they own the world but some of them are very nice especially the ones that have travelled much some will tell u they don't like their follow Germans and some will say they don't like Africans so the best for u is to first observed them before gettin close to them I have 24 German student in ma class and one walked to me and said Tope I don't just like u cos I hate Nigerians. And I told him I don't have a personal observation about you cos I don't even knw u. He was surprised. But some of them are very nice and made ma stay here a nice one.. But Germans youths are very rude..but that should nt be a negative energy on u they are nt your professor na

Thanks for ur enlightenment! This is another post about their unfriendliness. http://compendium.travelvice.com/reasons-to-hate-germany/ . your response was so smart!

Hi Godson and other peeps already in Germany. I will be starting MSc in Germany at Freiburg. I've been doing some research on Germany. All I've seen is that they are cold, arrogant and rude. Here is a link to prove. www.thepiripirilexicon.com/2013/02/germans-are-not-polite-or-why-we-got.html . Anyway it's good to ask Nigerians there how true is this. Pls I need your really elaborate reply so we can know what to expect there

partyhard77: I have savings and domm acct with fbn and I was told its only possible if am paying schools.I went to there marina head office the babe in customer service said its not possible without domicilliary acct.anyway its good u share this vital information with the house.

YOU ARE VERY RIGHT! The transaction was declined from Lagos Office after about 24hours! I was told today EXACTLY as you said

partyhard77: Its not possible.that method is only possible if u are paying school fees.its call form A.whereby ur money will be debited in naira and transfered in ur prefered currency.

its not a question of whether it is possible or not. ITS WHAT I DID! It was transferred from my Dads current Naira account

Angel Diamond: Yeah, you will transfer twice..GTBank transfers a max of €6k perr transaction, you can complete the transfer next day.

first bank did it once for me anyway

steelie: please house, is there no other way one can transfer the 8k euro without opening a domiciliary euro account?

if you have a current account at first bank they will do it for you but they ask for admission letter, statement of result if u are going for masters and other documents

I'm doing mine there as I type, this very moment

[quote author=topeajis][/quote]Go to an high court and swear separate affidavits for the date of birth error and for the middle name difference. In the middle name avidavit, state that you bear the two names and one is a shorten form if the other then conclude that all documents despite the slight differences are yours. Swear same for the date of birth, stating your actual date of birth. That should settle it. Do that as soon as possible. I sent a mail to the embassy in similar case concerning the middle name difference case. They said it does not affect my application, and I should just swear an avidavit at an high court explaining the circumstance. So I wish you God's favor in your interview!

otto256: hey guys,why today there have told me to take back my original documents to the embassy though I have showed them all when I was appliying in june.wants going on guys tell me the trick behind it please.

before they contacted you, you were worried and complained. Now you have been contacted, you should be happy and hopeful. Just do whatever they have asked you to do and hope for the best. SIMPLE

kelly4top: Hhmm during my time.I was not given the exam sha but they gave my friend and he failed when the result came out and that was how he missed the visa and was asked to ask for refund from deutsche bank.
Hope u wrote well bro?

how soon did the result come out

Hello, pls what is the exact specification of the passport photo for German visa, especially the size in mm

t-med:
hello Godson, I have submitted my deutch bank form to the german embassy in Lagos since 16th of JULY; today makes it 17 days. But I haven't heard from the bank till now. Hope it's not too late?

They will soon send you a mail, be patient. Latest Monday or Tuesday. 'twas like that for me too

LillyGemm: I also applied to RUB although it wasn't my first choice. My first choice was Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU)and I have already been offered a place at LMU. When I log in my RUB account, it shows that my application is still taking part in the admission process. If you applied to another Uni and already have an offer there, then maybe use that acceptance letter to open a blocked account. I used the acceptance letter from LMU to open a bank account in Germany...Deutsche bank just emailed me today to give me my account details. It's always better to apply to more than one University. Good luck !!!!

Which date did u apply for the blocked account! Wanna know how many days it took. I'm also expecting their mail too!

bissiejoe: I want to defer it till winter 2014.though it was stated on their website that if there is a need to defer,the admission letter would have to be sent back to the school.then another one will be issued for the postponement.I just want to know if it works that way.

If the school says u can, then u need not ask again

pfanen360: €120 including correspondence and telec charges. I asked them to deduct it from my dorm account balance so I can not tell the exact amount in Naira

thanks

pfanen360: I transferred €8100 to my account. I received a confirmation from GTBANK today that the transfer was successful. Please for how long will I wait for confirmation from Deutsch Bank?

Pls how much were u charged for the whole transaction. And how much in total I Naira did you spend plus the charges

weebay: I have one pressing question & know this question seems kind of off but is it possible to send a certain amount home say €500 or less every month becos the €8k am actually borrowing a part of it frm someone here in Nigeria...or are there people in Germany that can get one a verpflichtungserklarung and then get paid for it...

You can, since you can spend about 670Euros every month! I guess you would have to live on just 170Euros per month. Possible if u get a job. But I doubt if u can withdraw 500Euros at once in a day! But u can withdraw in bits till its 500 and send to Nigeria. I'm only speculating from the research I've done!

Rihannaola: Yes I have, and it was successful..

What questions were you asked
