Good morning fam, I have been following this trend for a while now, I made up my mind after i stop the Australia process, to cut the long story short. My question are:
1. Is it too late to apply to school now for winter admission.
2. Can the embassy still schedule a date for me for interview if my AL is a bit late.

1. It's already at the 11th hour because most schools have July 15 as admission deadline. Search deeply to find schools that are still open.
2. Book for appointment immediately you have your Admission letter. So far it's still in the winter window and there's sufficient time between your interview and enrolment deadline, the embassy will interview you and process your visa.

Another AL just dropped....

I'm a newbie and I just graduated from the university two months ago, awaiting my certificate. I will like to know if I can apply even though my certificate is not yet ready. Also, I'll like to know if I can apply for Masters in sports management even though I have journalism and mass communication in my first degree.

Many schools allow Application if Certificate isn't ready. Just ensure you have it when you want to enrol.

For any course you want to apply for, DAAD is your answer. Comb everywhere on DAAD. You'll find something.

Also, I'll recommend that you read through the thread for more information.

Electricboy:
i have a question to ask. and its about my future career, i am currently studying wood products engineering, i would like to know how possible it is to study mechanical or electrical engineering for my masters in deutschland , thank you

Wood products engineering... Probably at UI, ryt?

Wood products engineering isn't close to mechanical or electrical engineering. nevertheless, you should start mailing schools ahead now, so you can know where exactly to apply to when it's time.
Get the email address of course coordinators of different programs of your choice. Send inquiry mail, attach your department course modules there, and the course description, so they can see what you've done and what you're still going to do. From there they can advise if they are in a position to consider you for admission.

Meanwhile, if you're still in 100/200L, you can kuku get your transcript and apply for your preferred engineering Bachelors in Germany. That can save you some time.

My 1 cent.

AL just dropped....
University of Freiberg
M.Sc Technology and Application of Inorganic Engineering Materials.

I understand the fact that the city is not that ok in terms of foreigners but with the kind of rejctions I have had so far, I think I am very okey with it.

Monkey no fine but em mama like am.

I also want to appreciate everyone that in one way or the other contributed positively in this platform. You guys are just doing an amazing job.

Congratulations bro

dailydolar:
I need help I recently certified a doc at German embassy for a school A and I later found out I need to pay some fee to the school before my application can be considered but I wish now to forward my application to school B can I still use the embassy certification for school A to apply to be B by just attaching the school B form on top of the A certified embassy document.

What I'll suggest you do is that, send the entire set certified at the embassy for school A, including their Application form to your new school of choice. Don't detach anything, because detaching a page from the set invalidates the Certification.
So, when you now put the new Application form together with the previous one inside envelope,
Write a cover letter stating what happened and that you'd like to use the certified set for your admission processing.
They should honour it.

If it's not comfortable with you, kuku do another Certification.

danielnwatu:
Good day all.
I had my appointment on Tuesday.
ABUJA EMBASSY
I have a year scholarship worth 800£ per month.
I was not interviewed because I have to open a blocked account for the second year.
I don't know what is the way forward.
I need advice.
Thanks

Come to Lagos, it shouldn't be a problem here.

Besides, on a norms, you shouldn't have been turned back cos the proof of sustenance required by the embassy is for 1yr, not 2.
Unless your scholarship doesn't cover the entire year...

You can open a blocked account and go for the interview with the opening confirmation, alongside your scholarship.

But then.. I've not heard of this before.. odindi scholarship

evergreen9:
Hi guys @dapsy77 @ vampire2020 @Deustchemann, I would also like to know this, does the blocked account have to be funded before interview or can we just open the block account and print proof out, would that be sufficient for the interview?

Print proof of opening. It's okay for the interview. You'll be told to fund and send the funding confirmation to an email

chiboy429:
Hello house please join me to celebrate my first admission sofar, Msc environmental physics university of Bremen

Congratulations Bruder
Bremen is a nice place

dapsy77:
Thanks a lot, so before booking an interview do I have to open and fund the blocked account or do I just have to open it, print out the details and present it on the day of the interview.I already have the admission but I am concerned about funding the account before having an interview, I no want make my money go hang for inside blocked account for Germany lol.

Funding before interview isn't compulsory.
You can go with the opening confirmation.
Even if you fund before interview, and God forbid, things go south, or you do not wish to process the visa any more, you can request a refund of your money. So, your money 'no fit hang'

Okonsss:
This thread is the most successful travel thread in Nigeria.
I already lost hope of going anywhere, then a friend told me about this page and since then, I have a big hope that I will be in Germany soon.
I just want to encourage us to continue with what we are doing, God will surely bless us all.
My question is this, are there arts related courses in German universities that are free tuition too?

Amen.

Yes, you'll definitely find art courses. As people have recommended DAAD, please make sure you search well.
Seek and ye shall find

precious225:
Can I enrol by mail in Hamm lippstadt

No. Follow what was stated in the admission letter. If you are not clear on anything, mail the international office

MartinLawrenCe:
Bro. I have been on board for 1 month + in cat B please what are the rumours? what shall we cat B pipo do?!

My brother, just chill for the embassy.
Even if they see category B as non-priority, I'm sure they are aware that the category exists and people will book there.

OgbeniVan:
Good evening guys.

I’m in a bit of a dilemma. My First School Leaving Cert is lost. I’ve just gotten back from going to trace it from my primary school but I found out that the school doesn’t exist anymore and hasn’t even existed for years. Is there any other thing I can do to get it as quickly as possible or can I swear an affidavit for it?
Those that have gone for interview, is not having it a deal breaker at the embassy? BA, appointment date and AL are all set. Just this certificate left.

SOS!

If your school doesn't exist again, go to the ministry of education in your state and let them attest that you attended that primary school. You can use that document as an alternative to the FSLC.

If you're unable to, just tell Paulinus that you don't have it.
As I said earlier, if the network in his head is in resonance with yours, he shouldn't disturb you.

olaadesie:
yes, 2.57 is Nigeria Gpa thanks, I'm on the Potsdam uni searching as you suggest.

pls, I won't mind more suggestion on schools and course for mass communication graduate either BA or MSc.

I graduated in 2015, I hope it won't be a constraint (the year's gaps for a second degree)at the embassy during the interview?

Your year of graduation isn't a problem at all. 2015 is just 4yrs back.
Keep searching on DAAD, you can also use Wikipedia. If you don't mind, Search out the list of all universities in Germany. Open their websites one by one. You'll see if they have your desired course.

Somstevee:
Good day house.
I wish to commend each and every one of us who have devoted time to make sure that no one is victimized at the course of achieving his or her goal, I must acknowledge that your efforts have helped and benefited the masses. THANK YOU.
I am actually new to this family, as a Matter of fact, I just created a nairaland account tonight. I have gone through the thread the much as I can and have gotten several beneficial information. But am still left with few questions.
I got admission to study master of biological resources at Rheine Waal university of applied sciences yesterday, and I tried scheduling my visa appointment today.
During the process of applying for the interview, I noticed that some things has changed, unlike previous years, when one can apply via sending mail to the embassy, every one is expected to apply via the embassy website, I ask if it is normal?

Secondly, I noticed that at the process of filling the form, student visa is categorized into class And B.
I still wish to ask if it is normal.
Although I applied through class A, and got the email I attached here, I just wish to clarify that am on the right track.


Please if anyone else got admission to the Same course and school as mine, I will love a link up.


Thanks once more

Everything is normal my brother.

Welcome on board.

shantelleasante:
Please will I be able to get admission for Masters in Germany with a CGPA of 2.82?

That's about 2.6 on German scale.
It's very possible, but you have to sacrifice some things.

I'll advise that you search for schools with unrestricted admission. Also ensure you have some work experience in that field. You can also write GMAT or GRE with an English test (IELTS or TOEFL) to boost your chances.

Valentinejeco:
Good evening landers ,do I need my original bsc certificate for interview and enrollment or can I use my bsc attestation?

It's a dicey stuff.
Well, you should be able to do interview without Certificate, but I'm cocksure your school won't enrol you if they don't see your Certificate.

Most schools I've seen will allow you apply for admission even when your Certificate isn't ready, but on a condition that if you're admitted, you must provide it during enrolment.

shantelleasante:
... Please k wanna ask you a question... What if you don't have a friend or relative in Germany.,.. So how do you get the sponsorship letter? Especially if your sponsor is your mom or dad who are Nigerians

If your dad and mom want to sponsor you,

It's very simple.

Let them fund your blocked account with €8640

cliper230:
Rejection letter with reason that they feel that I can not complete the program. MSC material sc

This basis of rejection is so funny. Chai!
Wetin man eyes no go see for this waka.

Good news awaits you soonest cliper230

Mopeds:
thanks so much for your response, actually. The mistake on the name is just a misarrangement while the Date of birth, it is the year, moreover, even by summer, it won't still be ready and by then it might be too late to withdraw the original cert...the issue get k-leg

I see your plight now.
If you must move this winter, Just get your Certificate back from them, and go to court to swear affidavit biko.

All the best

Eldeee:
It all went well today.

In high spirits, I say a big Congratulations to my oga, Eldee. Your transcript is very detailed.
I wish you swift AM and smooth transition.
Happy birthday in advance

JesusKreist:
Good evening house,
I'm sorry for asking this question, if it has already been answered, times without number.
I see a lot of people talking about an appointment letter, is this the email that's been sent as a confirmation of your appointment date or will an actual letter be sent?

Yes, it's the email. Just print out the email.
That's your appointment letter

Mopeds:
No one is answering my question, I guess this thread isn't for me

Reminds me of my philosophy classes in 100L.
The bolded statement is a fallacy; appeal to pity (Argumentum ad misericordiam), Exploiting our feelings of pity to win an argument/obtain something.

I don't know if your question has been answered, but I think, pending when we await answers to the questions we ask, we can also check Quora, or just open up Google. Type it the way you can express yourself, after you type the question, put nairaland at the end of the statement.
You'll definitely see results of similar, if not the same question that has surfaced on nairaland before. With that you can have an idea or even a concrete answer ahead of when someone will answer yours.

You don't need to appeal to anyone's pity by saying you guess the thread is not for you. Nobody go send you. It's a cold world out there. Plus, Nairaland and all threads belong to Seun.

Silva19:
Good evening everyone. My Ogas here, I salute oh! please I'm new here and I seriously need ur advice
I booked for appointment on 6/06 and I got 17/06 under CAT A I'm going for M.Sc but I cancelled the appointment on 7/06 bcoz my admission letter wasn't ready then
I got AL on 19/06 that's last week Wednesday and I booked for appointment immediately but up till now making it 5 days I haven't gotten a date from the embassy
I'm thinking of cancelling and re booking
But I'm thinking that'll be my 3rd time of booking and there might be a penalty for that
Please help I don't know what to do

Perhaps you should chill a little..
See what end of this week will bring.

olaadesie:
Boss abeg I have 2.57 from oou studied mass communication... Can I apply with GP??
I have check daad.de must course and sch deadline is July 15 pls how can u help with sch I can apply to directly without uni assist?

I don't mind any social or management science course either BA or Msc

Is your 2.57 Nigerian grade or German grade CGPA?
If it's Nigerian grade, then that's 2.8 German grade. It might be a bit difficult to get a masters admission, so I'll advise you apply for another bachelor.
As regards deadlines, most schools have July 15 as deadlines, apart from some unusual ones that close earlier.
There's still time between now and July 15.

Check University of Potsdam. Applications are still open, and the Uni-assist Application is free of charge.


Having in mind that many schools might have closed Applications, I won't advise that you exclude Uni-assist Applications from your search, that's if you really want to move by winter.
If otherwise, you can patiently wait till summer Application where you can get more than enough schools without Uni-assist.

chimax1:
This thread is flying at the speed of light!! Part 6 started in Feb and this is already page 499. Part 5 wasn't as fast as this. This shows there is considerable increase in number of applicants. God help us all.

As in ehnn my brother.. the speed is crazy.
We go make am by God's grace.
How's it going over there?

Onyi2728:
