AL alert!! Information Engineering, HAW Hamburg

Congratulations

lecksam:
And what of 2.2 Bsc going for another Bsc @ Deustchemann.. Any recent update from the embassy .. thanks

It's logical for any BSc applicant to book category B.
The 4th criterion in the booking for category A says that the applicant should have a bachelor degree with grade between first class and second class lower and being accepted for a masters degree.

That "and" is in bold, and I know that "and" is different from "or"

Disclaimer: This is solely my opinion, I'm not to be held responsible for anyone's decision

amihbkt767676:
What are people doing with too many AL ?
Try like 3 schools for chances.
One AL is enough.

Stop wasting AL. With Time AL go cast for Nigeria!!!!
Statistics will show that admitted Nigerians most likely dont enroll because they have other options.

Lets be wise and cautious pls. Someone has 9 AL and still more to come

Gaddafithe2nd:
That issue tire me. Having 9 ALs, It means that person had already blocked 8 people's chances of getting admission. 2 to 3 schools are enough.

I wish to air my opinion on this matter.

First, I want us to know that we are different individuals with different backgrounds and ideologies. Many people might be convenient with applying to just 1-2 schools but for some, their minds won't be settled until they apply to as much as 10 schools.

Now, the benefits of applying to many schools or having multiple admission letters include:
1. You are convinced that your academic profile can stand a chance in a variety of schools with different admission policies and quota.
2. I once read on the US visa thread that a VO asked an applicant how many schools he applied to, and he said 1. The VO was kinda bewildered, and she asked him what he would have done if he was rejected by the school.. guy had to scramble for an answer. At least if the VO asks how many schools you applied to, I think it will make more sense if you say 4,5,6. It shows your level of enthusiasm for studying in Germany.
3. When you have multiple admission letters, you can selectively and prayerfully choose where to head to. If I have 2 letters from University of Würzburg and University of Bonn, I can sit down and delve into research on the two schools; the curriculum, which one will give me more knowledge, I'll search for ratings on the schools before I choose where to go. I'll also do sufficient background checks on both cities as regards cost of living, availability of jobs etc. Weighing these factors together, I can choose where I wish to head and back it up with prayers.

With only 1 AL, i'm kinda at the mercy of any school I get. No chance for comparison.

Benefits of applying to less schools or holding 1-2 ALs
1. You have less headache on where to go. If you're the type that doesn't like to stress yourself, just find 2 programs that you are 500% sure is non-restricted, and that you will be surely admitted. Send your application, and if you're admitted, then you've achieved that part.
2. You get to spend less than those who have a long list of Applications. You spend less on mobile data, Certification and courier services.


Most importantly, and in conclusion
"Having Multiple ALs is not a sin. Wasting the admission space is evil. If you have concluded on where to head to, PLEASE REJECT THE REMAINING ADMISSION SPACES AND LET OTHER QUALIFIED APPLICANTS GET THE SPACE, ESPECIALLY FOR RESTRICTED COURSES."

Shalom

Hallo guys,
Guten Morgan Morgen...

Please how long does it takes for an applicant to get his/her admission status after application in a proposed school?
In anticipation of your responses
Danke!

Guten Morgen sehr.
This answer varies widely from school to school.
Some people get admission under a week after applying.
Some get in 2 weeks, 1 month, some 3-4 months.

Your school will definitely have a timeline. Check the timeline so you can know when to expect admission letters.
If it's not there, mail the course coordinator

Jackto365:
Hello all , anyone who applied for the master program in immunobiology @university of Bonn received any mail.

Still awaiting.. they said they'll Mail qualified international students inviting them to an interview.

SouthHomieMob:
Thanks bruv. Quite familiar though. They aint get much listings to me

Eh en..

If you find any other that's better, please let me know.
I'm also in the hunting process.

Hello guys
I’m a PTI graduate with an HND degree in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. I intend going for a Bachelors degree course in Germany. Is it possible for me, and how do I go about it

You're in the right place.
You should start preparing for Summer 2020. Applications should be open from August upwards. In the meantime, let me suggest some things you should get done that will ease your chances wella.
1. Obtain your ND and HND Certificates and Transcripts from your school
2. Obtain a letter of English proficiency from your school too. Although, I will strongly recommend that you write IELTS or TOEFL alternatively.
3. Visit this link from time to time

https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/result/?q=&degree%5B%5D=&lang%5B%5D=&fos=&cert=&admReq=&scholarshipLC=&scholarshipSC=&langDeAvailable=&langEnAvailable=&lvlEn%5B%5D=&cit%5B%5D=&tyi%5B%5D=&ins%5B%5D=&fee=&bgn%5B%5D=&dur%5B%5D=&sort=4&subjects%5B%5D=&limit=10&offset=&display=list

You will be able to search for plenty schools that you can apply to, as well as their mode of Application.

4. Visit www.uni-assist.de and open an account there. Incase you might need to apply through them.

5. Get a jotter and a good pen. As you're browsing through DAAD, write things down. Each school, course, mode of Application, deadline, semester fee, city and state the school is located, course coordinator email address. Keep the jotter handy and out of sight of people it won't be useful to.

6. When it is Application period, kickstart your applications.
If you need to certify, Visit high courts around you to certify photocopies. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the embassy for free.

I believe you already have your international passport, if you don't, you can start applying for one.
Also, ensure you have your means of sustenance Standby either by blocked account or German declaration of sponsorship.

Most importantly, Spend time reading through this thread. Start from page 1. Spending 3hrs daily to read here, you can cover all the pages under 2 weeks. Believe me, you'll be armed with excess information.

I wish you success in your endeavours.

It's a wonderful morning here

Hi Bro,

I am looking for a post you made few days ago regarding the possibility of a tuition waiver by the University of Honhenheim for students from Nigeria.

I love the way you advised an email to be sent to the school about it. I think it was a response to Bamstar007 or Chinkichun. I just cant find the post anymore, and i want to mail the school.

Also, for guys who have applied, do you think they offer summer intakes?

The post wasn't from me, perhaps you search with the keyword.. you should be able to find it

Modified
I can see that you've come across the post.
Success bro


I no even look Baden-Württemberg at all during my application

Somberyl:
Physics and chemistry? I jump and pass o

Hello family,

Trust you’re doing great?

Done with my interview. Got there by 6am had an issue with a photocopy of my certificate. I did it inside the street or the embassy. I did 2 copies for 200naira, if I had gone outside then it would be about 2k I guess.

Paulinus let me back in. By 8:30

1) what’s my bachelors?
2) why isn’t it related to masters? Had to explain.
3) what I know about Germany? Points only
4)plans after studies
5) any German knowledge?
6 political system in Germany?
7) equivalent of Bundestag in Nigerian politics?


A lady was turned back today, she’s going for m bachelors and booked under A. Told her to book for B. ( not sure her class of degree)

Congratulations on the success of your interview. God's speed.

The concluding part... Chai!

Somberyl:
I've applied o
Both Biochemistry and iSTEM join.
Is it now a crime to study Biochemistry
That's why I'm looking for an open course to run to..
Biko what's the way forward...

iSTEM is good too.

Well, look out for closely related courses. They can increase your application list.
Check out Advanced Functional Materials at TU-Chemnitz. Uni-assist Application, but admission free. It's more of physics and chemistry but I'm sure you'll blend. Waledora schools there.

Sirarim13:
I noticed there is no AM testimonies for winter on this platform yet. Hope embassy have not forgotten us oooh. God speed great minds.

There are testimonies already bro.

Somberyl:
I'm still waiting for AL after completing more than 8 applications before Easter. I guess it's because I applied to NC courses. Please Biochemistry people how are you people doing it? It seems most of the related courses are restricted. Has anyone come across any "open" biology/nature or health related MSc courses? Except Biological Resources in Rhine. I don't mind putting in one more application...
Thank you.

I did biochemistry too. It's alarming that most courses in our field are restricted. I have a long list of schools and programs I applied to, and rejections have been coming in steady.
Ruhr University Bochum is open for now. You can try out their Biochemistry MSc.

Awilibogy:
Good morning House,

I applied for a bachelor degree in Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences in Electronic Engineering, I was asked to certify my documents before sending them through email, how should I go about certifying my documents, I also need help from anyone who has applied and gotten admission into this school and program. Thanks.

Bro, you can scan your original documents and send to them.

robinicule:
can these certification be done in ministries of affairs and education in Abuja?

It depends on what your school wants. They all have guidelines for certification.
Most times people use High courts, public notaries and the Embassy. However, I know that you can certify your bachelor Certificate and transcripts at the registrar's office of your University.

As regards ministry of education, I'm not sure..

Rapture07:
Hello, pls I need a honest reply and would be grateful if anyone can advice me accordingly. I am trying to apply for a b.sc program with a deadline date of 15.7.2019. However I have to submit my documents for vpd at uniassit, and a vpd takes approximately 4-6weeks. From today till 15.7.2019 is exactly 4weeks, and I am scared that I might not meet up with the deadline date. Pls is there anyone who have gotten vpd at approximately 3weeks. Or should I just do d vpd for summer semester

There are 2 things involved in this matter:
1. If your application is dual based; I mean if you have to wait for your vpd before you then upload to your school website, it might be a bit dicey to decide whether you should try it or not. Uni-assist might take longer than 4 weeks to process your documents, and since they both have the same deadline, it's most likely you might miss out.
2. If your application is sent directly to your school from Uni-assist without you needing to upload anything to the school website, then you're very safe. Just make sure that your documents arrive at Uni-assist before the deadline.

aromade112:
Hello house, please my admission letter carries a wrong postcode (10001) as a result of typographical error on my part during application.
My question is, will this be a problem during interview since my visa application form will be carrying a different postcode(330102)?
Thanks for you answers.

It's not a problem..

jaymoni:
Good day everyone. I need guidance on how to start. I graduated 2011. Studied Economics. Right now am working with one of Federal University in Nigeria as a non teaching staff. I want to immigrate to Germany through studies. My problem is that my CGP is low 2.5. can I be accepted for a Pgd program or should I just start afreash with a degree program. My age is close to 35 will I be accepted for a degree program. Thanks.

As someone advised earlier, Paderborn is a good shot.
Also, find schools that accept 2.5, package your work experience very well and hope for the best from them. Do your research well. Don't worry about the age. As long as we walk on the surface of the earth, opportunities abound to aspire to greater heights.

But to be very safe, find some BSc programs to apply to as alternatives. The more you apply, the higher your chances.

Banky933:
So if one books, gets a date and cancels, how many years ban will that be?

Visa interview date?
If you cancel at least 1 week to the interview, there's no problem.
If you cancel under a week, or you don't show up at the interview.. that's like a 3-month ban or so. Maybe 3 or 6, not sure.
I don't know if the rule still stands with this new system

Amaterasu:
J saw on the German embassy website that you must not come in with phones. Guys who have gone for interview, how did you do it. Does it make sense to keep my phone on silence mode?

Come with your phone. When you're on the queue, switch it off. It will be kept at the security quarters, so you can't take it inside.

Conqueror89:
Bro !
What if you send a missing documents back to them?
They have received it and its over 2 weeks now yet no response.
Application deadline is 15th july.
Any suggestions?

It will take another 4-6 weeks to process any missing document you resend. Sijce deadline is July 15, you're very safe.

Geedhey:
Please is it late to apply to schools in Germany at this time for the coming entry in August. If it is whats the best time start getting ready to apply to. MSC (Engineering/IT related programs)

It's almost at the eleventh hour but you can still find one or two places. But I'll advise, if you're not fixed on winter, aim towards summer Applications. Some can start opening by August. So you can get all your documents ready before then.

Richy5008:
Hello pls help me out
I initially booked an appointment for certification but due to issues I was not present for the appointment. Nw am finding it difficult to reschedule the appointment. Pls what can I do

You are under 3 weeks ban. Wait till 3 weeks elapses, then you can book again

Somberyl:
Please who has heard from Bonn, (biochemistry or immunology)? Has anyone received AL?

None of them yet.
We are still waiting for interview. They said they'll invite qualified international applicants for the interview.

horlakay:
Hello gurus in the house, I want to ask whether it is possible to book an appointment with the consulate without admission letter or vpd. I just want to do it in faith, the school I applied to said by the end of July, and so far, they are the only one left out of all the one I applied to. So I won't want to miss the golden opportunity.
Thanks , I wait for your responses.

You can book without AL. But if your AL doesn't come up to a week before the date, please cancel the appointment.

lovable85:
Hope you didn’t cancel after a week to the appointment date.
That is you didn’t cancel after June 12th and it was before June 12th

That's true ooh.
Highpriest0, hope you cancelled the appointment before June 12??

Omoawoke:
Why will uniassist hold on to my application for about 4 weeks now and still say processing not yet started... Are these guys scam

Processing takes between 4-6 weeks, especially if it's the first application set they received from you.
On the portal, most times, you'll always see "submitted online, processing not yet started". Don't be worried, your processing is already on. When they are done, they will update it and send your application to your school. They can also send you your vpd in case you'll need it

decide:
Lolz....thanks for the clarification

You're welcome.

Don't fret. You'll get your date next week.
Since your enrolment deadline is September ending, you should be able to get a date in July or early August
