A1 or a2, fluency is what matter, as for doing A2 classes over there, some language schools are 250Euros per month, You got such cash to burn? Do you also have the time to attend class, go to school and find a mode of survival, i mean student job?

Lol, all na to survive. anyway, thanks. The course i'll be taking has a german module. for first and second semester.
Sure, fleuncy, state and kind of job really matters as well.

Omo, me no get that kain money to waste na. when Goethe is even 150euros here...ehehehhe

I used Blocked account.

You should be fine bro.
Start packing your bags.

Deutschland is waiting for you

styles2009:
You would be required to get another 8000 Euros to renew your stay after the first year, there's no guarantee, you can get a student Job that would give you that amount to enable you renew your stay the next year cos schooling is a serious thing here, class, assignment ,projects etc, am not saying its impossible.

My tip, fluency in German would give you more opportunity to get a student job that would pay well and also connect you. As for staying after your studies, there's a law currently that allow,foreign students to search for Job regarding to their course of study after their completion of study and when they get one, they can stay,live and work here.

You might say, my course in master is in English, i don't need german, please learn it and you would thank me later.
cheers

Styles,

How about A1 level.. will it be sufficient for job placement whilst someone continue with A2 classes over there?


Pls respond !

genesisjohn:
I did my student visa interview on the 3 of febuary. Pls when do I know if my application will be accepted

Wait till monday, if you dont get an email asking you to come to the embassy, then you may count yourself lucky. cos according to previous experience, you will be asked to come to the embassy after 7-10days if your interview didnt go well.

Did you use blocked account or sponsorship?

Regards !

Mr danindia please enough is enough youve said your point but this is misleading stop this,I am in Germany my sch english taught courses doesn't go thru uniassist,I didn't go through that,have you ever studied in Germany?if not then you don't have a point, Germans don't do things that way they are very thorough,I have seen a lot of India's coming here to study ,please how many Germans have u seen in India?please this is to show you the level of their educational system no time for rubbish ,please kindly create an India forum if there is none yet,because your advice will be more appreciated there,you don't have a business here,cos ever since this hasn't happened,don't give people hypertension cos you don't know what people are facing back home to get out ,don't contribute to it,to even have admission from a German sch now its no joke cos of competition,please don't post any furtherl

Haba Yetty,

Are you telling me these schools are not recognized?

Please lets be guided here

Thanks !

DanIndia:
Almost all the schools admit NON-EU students via Uni-assist. If the school doesn't go with Uni-assist, there is a 70% chance the school is not accredited and a little bit of advice for everyone, please choose an Institute that is accredited. Nor be all certificates get Value now o

Oga, in as much you have given some great insight and tips on this fora, I want to strongly disagree with the bolded statement. I can authoritatively mention over 10 schools which are among the top 50 universities in germany and does not conform with uni-assist.

Uni-assist educational services serves as an intermediary between foreign students and the university. due to the large applications been sent across every year, they may decide to employ the services of Uni-assist to help them with sorting, verification and pre-acceptance of intending applicants.

As a matter of fact, we cannot use this yardsticks to measure the ingenuity or authenticity of a university. Please, lets be guided so as not to mis-inform intending applicants

What's anabin exactly for? I Used the link but was in German, is there an English version.

Anabin gives you the possibility to check, if you have the neccesary prerequisites for Bachelor or Master studies in Germany. also, its like a directory for schools accepted in germany.

Its advisable to use google chrome for visiting such site. it has a translation option

Adenjnr pls help me out with the Studeinkolleg admission,since its the first procedure to take. Can I apply for this summer period? How can I go about that. Hope I'm not bothering you

An O'Level doesn't often grant you direct access to a German university. You may be required to sit for an aptitude test (in the case that you have extraordinary O'Level grades) or to join "Studienkolleg", a foundation year class before admission to the first year in the university after an exam. However, if you do well in the first semester of the Foundation year, you may also choose to write the test at the end of the semester and gain entrance to the Uni, provided you pass.

Now how does the process work, because studienkollege teaches you in german language, the embassy may never give you a language study visa, instead, you will be re-directed to Goethe institute to study that. At present, Registration have closed at Goethe institute. but a new academic calendar will be up around April (That is confirmed) Ensure you attain A2 then apply for studienkollege. studying A1-A2 will span across 8 months.

After obtaining your german A2 profiency, then you can proceed to apply for Studienkollege.

Or better still, if you can attain A level Cambridge GCE, it may give you a greater edge.

Your O'Level alone may not be enough to apply for Degree in germany.

Excerpt from a page:

It costs nothing and takes only a few hours to open if you already have a current account with the same bank. Otherwise, you'll have to provide the bank with 2 individual references. The transfer itself takes 24-48hrs. Before the end of the second business day, you should receive confirmation from Deutsche Bank confirming credit in your account, a copy of which they would have forwarded to the embassy at the same time as yours) You will be charged around €60 + N4000(transfer commission,telex copies,VAT and offshore charges) and the Deutsche Bank will charge you €50 for the blocked account (so make sure you include those charges in the actual transfer sum).

Someone on this thread used Afribank for direct transfer. dont know if that still exists, but you could give it a try.

Achyever:
Thank you very much.
I will like to know how to open the block account and the documents I need, so if you can point me to a page where I can read extensively on that, I will appreciate it.

Achyever, you just registered here 2 days ago and you cant read some few pages back. My dear, dont be lazy, try and read some pages backward.

Meanwhile, the information below was received from the embassy by an intending applicant:



Dear Sir,

thank you for your email.

Please be advised that the Consulate General can only certify your signature for the necessary opening of a blocked account if you already have the admission letter of the university (a pdf printout is sufficient), as a copy of the admission letter has to be forwarded to the bank with the application form and your passport copy.

As soon as you have submitted your application for the opening of a blocked account, you will receive a confirmation letter from the Consulate with which you can apply for your student visa.

I trust you find this information helpful. Attached please also find the checklist with further information concerning the opening of a blocked account.

Yours sincerely,

b.o.

Please what is the possibility of landing a good job? Statistically if you may. I intend on doing an MSc in Computer Science...

Its area dependent. However, ICT is a booming field most especially Telecommunication, Hardware, software development amongst others. I spoke with a fellow here and he made me understand that there are series of ICT jobs most especially in the eastern part of germany. They have great IT and telecoms companies there. The only disadvantage of going to the east is "Racism" which may be hard to deal with.

Its rampant in the eastern part, most esp Dresden, Chemnitz, Bradenburg, Cottbus, Leipzig just to name a few.

However, its also very close to Poland for tour and exploring.

In all, ICT companies are everywhere.. mind you, 9 countries borders Germany. so the opportunities are enormous.

what are the chances of somebody with 3rd class in law for llm in germany because going through daad it seems not to specify the required cpga for llm

Bros, to be candid with you. getting an admission for LLM is absolute Zero. However, you can re-apply for B.sc. For Masters in Law, you may be asked to tender/show proof of language proficiency. so try attending Goethe for german class and maybe up to A2/B1 level and you are good to go.

Hey pals, i wanna know if there is no age prob. A 29 years old frend wana go for her degree. Plz advice

No problem my dear, in as much your friend can convince the Visa Officer what he/she has been doing for the past couple of years.

Also, her course of study should relate to her first degree.

But first, is she going for Msc or Bsc??

Ugochux:
The only thing holding me now is the IELTS.. I doubt if its gon b possible to write it this february cos of this elections.. Errm, which is better, doing a fresh course or doin Msc..

You can apply for March intake or better still april. the last time i checked, there were still some spaces left for march 21 and 28th for any intending IELTS candidate.

Also, if you think you might not catch up for Msc in deutschland, you may apply for B.sc. ensure you make a strong CGPA during your first semester, you may be lucky to find yourself in ur 3rd semester according to some research. B.sc, Msc route.. alles gute as long as germany is concerned.

Lots of practicals, research, internships, and above all, Some courses allows you to travel out of deutschland for your third/fourth semester..

The choice is yours. but take note, 18months after your Msc and yet you cant land a good job, you may kiss deutschland (Aufwiedersehen) Goodbye..

The decision lies with you

As we keep on expecting our ViSA goodnews alert from the Embassy this week or nxt, I need someone to tell me sth about Osnabruck in Lower Saxony. Broda Ekeson are u there!!!

Bros,

My candid advise for you is to use the widely acceptable google search engine for research.
For the records, germany is "NOT" for the lazy soul. your reading and research culture needs to be activated from here.

My 2 cents !

DANNIEmore:
ok Adejnr. Thanks for the power.

The big double D

styles2009:
My tip for you,you can study at a German university but you must first attend their Studienkolleg for 2 semesters cos SSCE results won't give you a direct admission and after completing your Studienkolleg,you can study in any university in Germany.

Do the following: Enroll to Goethe Institut,learn german, look for a non governmental organizations and volunteer their,like red cross.
You might wonder ,why be a volunteer?
it's a plus point,when requesting for Any visa.
No country want a person,who can't contribute to the community they live in.
I did it,it worked for me,so do the same.
reply here for more info,no pm please,lets keep our info public

You are so on point bro, but this studienkollege still get me skeptical.
we have seen countless number of rejection all because of studienkollege.

Anyway, what works for you may not work for every body.

Lets hope this new trick works

dantaynya:
Thank you so much, danniemore. I agree with you. She is very comfortable with connecting her Bsc with her proposed MSc program. This thread is really helpful and I agree with you that she would benefit a lot from reading everything cover-cover. She is aware of the thread and has been reading it as well. I hope her next try will go well. I am assisting her with inquiries cos I have 24hrs internet access and not as restricted as her. I will encourage her to also feel free to ask questions. You guys are really helpful. Thank you all (eke40seven, Naijadove, dencotech, tmed1, dolpaz etc). We are veeery grateful. I am honestly impressed with the maturity, and mindset you have all demonstrated.

We are always here to help another brother.

Kindly introduce your sister here to read as many pages as possible.
Its very possible to have your visa if you follow the steps and protocols

All will be well

dencotech:
I think the embassy has been more than fair to me. I had my ist visa interview on the 17th of Dec last year. The next 2 days being 19th I got an email from the embassy to come. And that was my rejection letter coming to me on time. Well it was all my fault so I understood the rejection. I went to the emabssy on 22nd of Dec but met anoda Consular (not the asian) who said she could not find my file. Was asked to come back on January 5th. Dat's how my time was wasted but not embassy's fault but celebration period. Once I got my rejection letter on the 5th, I reapplied the same day, got an interview appointment email the nxt day scheduled on 16th Jan. I've had a wonderful 2nd interview and optimistically waiting for a positive answer.

In your sister's case, I think she should appeal if u people are sure no serious fault is from u. Appeal saves time and money. Again, making an appeal depends on the nature of their reason for rejection. I reapplied because I didn't have a satisfactory oral interview.

If u could tell me what the outcome her invitation by the embassy is, I could make an informed suggestion.

Hello Dencotech,

Can you simply narrate the ordeal that went down at the embassy for others to learn from?
Eke, and some other fellow have been doing same.
Probably some questions that was asked, where you goofed, and a probable solution

Thanks and have a blessed day]

Hello house! A family member applied to study in Germany. Her interview was 8-9 weeks ago. Today,she was requested to come to the embassy anytime between Mon-Fri with her passport and copy of the email. No insurance was requested. Does this mean refusal? Thank you

No sir,

Since she was not asked to come with Insurance, its a two-way thing.

1) Its either her visa is ready for collection or

2) They need some confirmation about her school, resumption and all from her, but definitely that should not be a rejection.

Did she use a blocked account or Verpflichtungserklärung??

Alles Gute !
