please for those that are on the winter train, always make sure that the course u are applying for is closely related to ur first degree in terms of modules or otherwise, I was refused admission on a number of occasion because of this, thank GOD, imagine being refused admission last year because my bsc in production engineering was not closely related with computational mechanics at uni Erlangen, though I was latter admitted for related programmes last year, just this year I have been admitted to virtually all the programmes I applied for, always endeavour to check if ur admission to your programme is not restricted or better still contact your coordinator for further info.

ucplus:
Well, this is my first time of posting here. You guys have been doing great with the questions and answers. I am planning on going for studies in Germany. I have a VPD from uni assist already, and i have already printed out my application form from the university which i will be going to certify at the embassy tomorrow. Please i need tips on how to have a successful interview because i know that will be the next thing after i have been offered a place in my school of choice. Thanks a lot house.

since u have been sent a vpd it means u have crossed one hurdle the next thing is to hope and pray that you would be admitted, after which u can start thinking about the interview, be that has it may, read through the thread u will get possible German student interview questions.

[quote author=BlessedSamson post=44640128][/quote] pls check ur admission letter, u must have been given a due date for enrollment or registration in ur admission letter, if not contact ur international office or programme coordinator for further clarification. then you can ascertain if u are clear.

[quote author=BlessedSamson post=4463622 firstly, when is ur enrollment deadline? if it is still far, then u are on the clear( probably at the goreigners office) but if ur enrollment deadline is past, then expect the worst, wish u luck as u wait. state ur enrollment deadline then the picture will be clear.

[quote author=dania30 post=44627 @dania you can send the documents b4 payment, make sure your ducs are complete and use a fast courier service to send if ur application deadline is close, thereafter try to pay the uni assist fee, pay b4 deadline, it will take uni assist 3days to send you a receipt of payment and register it in your uni assist account. Hope this helps

ProfSamurai:
My chairmen them - williamso et al
How long does it take uniassist to confirm payment.
A friend in Italy paid the fees on my behalf

Pardon me if this has been treated before - you can refer me...

3days

uchezdedon:



Try ... care concept. Its a private insurance company and their fee is very okay.

Thanks@ the don just registered with them now,it is relatively cheaper than that offered by deutches studentenwerk in collabo with union..... @dania, you can go ahead with sending the transcript to uni assist irrespective of the fact that it was not addressed to them, same applied to me when I applied to them and it was accepted.

please guys assistance needed here, As i will be enrolling for my programme from nigeria, i have issue with registering for health insurance from niger, i follwed @gmart22 post and discovered where @EKE dropped an email address for(aok marburg), i sent a mail to them, but i was told i cant register with them cos i am over 30years, the only option is to stick to private, please i need contacts or links of private insurance companies in hessen, i have googled the challenge is that i dont seem to understand or a thorough explanation on how to go about it.

BlessedSamson:


Am just kinda wondering, the time between booking appointment and the date given for the appointment is too far, i don't think its reasonable!... my opinion though.

Am surprised too, booked on the 7th of April got a date for 4th of july, my enrollment deadline is1st oct. though i can enroll from nigeria.

BlessedSamson:


are you serious?..is that possible?

Yes my broda, enrollment deadline is oct1, though i can enroll from nigeria

booked for student visa interview yesterday, i was givena date in early july.

@gmart22, I believe you should be in marburg by now,what course did you apply for, i sent you a personal msg, i was admitted by uni marburg too, i defered the admission to WS, cos of time

[quote author=chrisley024 post=43887532]free tuition? How about English proficiency and recommendation letter? [/quote yes normally now na free tuition, language of instruction from ur uni if bsc was in english, ielts 5.5, recommendation letter not compulsory, i did not submit, no application fee payment to uni assist cos the uni marburg has paid for prospective applicants.

i just recieved a letter of admission from philips university of marburg to study msc "functional materials" SS2016, i have asked for the admission to be transfered to WS2016, which i believe is feasible because it was stated in the school/ programme website. if you studied Engineering or science you can apply as ws2016 app starts first april, your cgpa must be greater than or equal to 2.5 german scale, with a good bachelors grade and well written sop, you would not be called for interview online, but in other cases your chances of admission is still good though you would be interviewed. note: application is through uni assist and you will not be required to pay uni assist application fee as the uni has already done that for prospective applicants. Also got admitted to the uni jena for optics and photonics, application is online, you only send certified copies of your documents after admission, hence no cost of sending. hope this helps some people.

good evening everybody, @eke, nevibot, and others i need answer to this question abeg una, last winter i was late for my interview as a result i rebooked and later cancelled the new appointment cos it was so close to my enrollment deadline, cos i am not in for fire brigade approach, already applied for some programmes in ws2016, it must be noted that i did not fund the account as i was neva interviewed(i nor apply be dat). my question is dat if admitted for ws2016 can i use the confirmation of db statement to book for appointment or am i to open another db account. please i need ur advise as regards this.
@hadasheke hbd try apply for university of jena msc photonics its for physics students and engineering science only online application is required no hard copy submission till after admission saw it n decided to notify you as ur 1st degree is physic related.
