thanx, i'm into hydrology. I got an offer for WAREM at U. Stuttgart

Wow, that's good. Congratulations dear

ceysaga:
You are a blessing to your generation bros.

Thanks sis.

ceysaga:
No point applying for a course that requires 2.5 then.

Says who? Have you forgotten there is a word called GRACE. Please don't relent, apply to several programs that catch your interest. Prepare a very good motivation letter to suit each individual program, it actually goes a long way to enhance your application. If you have some work experience, include them in your cv. And above all, pray for God's favor.

NB: Some schools have rolling admission ie they operate on a first come first serve basis. So roll your sleeves and get back on track. All the very best.

thanks for sharing this info, was just thinking about it, am applying to uni Mannheim for backing up, MA political science, that state is cool, their universities offer lots of broad programs in English, wonder if that's part of the reason they reintroduce fees!!

Honestly they have got very good schools here. But as per the tuition I really can't say oooooo, na their government decide am, Lol.

Sup bro. How geomatics for Karlsruhe

Am yet to enroll anyway, but from what I learnt, it's lovely with lots of good courses. Their program is designed to prepare you for the industry immediately after graduation. But you have to put in some great deal of efforts if you really want to grab something.

They have very nice professors who are willing to put you through as long as you are willing to learn. And they even go as far as linking you to good student job offers if you so desire. But like I earlier said, you need to put in some efforts.

Examinations is not a joking matter here. If you are not prepared for it, just skip it. But you have one hour to finish whatsoever you need to do, mostly ten questions.

Bamstar007:
@eldee I guess you are in a tuition paying school, how are you coping and how does it really work. I will appreciate your response and I’m also a geo person and I can see some tuition paying schools too and they are interesting with geoinformatics and Remote sensing courses.

Am yet to enroll, aiming for winter semester. I already have admissions for msc geomatics at the University or Applied Science Karlsruhe, which incidentally happens to be my first choice.

Incidentally most of the wonderful programs for geo related courses are on Baden wurttemberg which requires a payment of €1500 per semester for tuition. This of course is the downside. But in all, it's cool nevertheless.

Coping with the payment is not quite funny more especially when others are flexing no tuition, but it's quite feasible if adequately planned. It's not like I have all the money to pay for it, but from what I learnt it's very much possible

I actually prefer the geomatics program at Karlsruhe cos its curriculum is second to none for me and you get to learn almost every specialities such as remote sensing, geoinformatics, geodesy, software engineering, surveying and cartography, geobusiness, environmental resource management etc before you graduate and that makes you better suited for the market and consultancy services as well. Unlike others who are just interested in only one or at most two specialties.

So in all, it depends on what you actually want. Just as you see in the list of programs I outlined.

As regards managing the tuition issue, if you cut down on expenses by getting a cheaper accommodation, you can save for it. And moreover there are lots of good jobs available for students in this region, If you are good in programming from what I heard, na you go run cos BW is the technology hub.

bridget149:
today is the deadline for Masters in Geoengine at University of Stuttgart. it doesnt require reference letter or motivation letter. and you apply directly to the school, response in about 3 weeks. if you are into engineering or some course related to geoinformatics, geology, civil engineering, etc. and you have their required docs, you can apply..

Seems like you are into the GEO world, anyway if you are interested in such program, I will also suggest you check out the following programs.

If you are interested in remote sensing, check out KIT and university of wurzburg,

If you are for geoinformatics, check out university of muenster and hft Stuttgart

If you are for geoinformatics and geodesy, check out Leibniz universitat hannover and TU Berlin

If you are interested in hydrography, check out hafencity university, Hamburg

Then if you are interested in all these areas of specializations in one program and you be Oliver Twist like us, then come to University of applied sciences Karlsruhe for geomatics.

Goodmorning house, I just secured my transcript only to discover my school made a mistake in my date of birth and state of origin (but LGA is correct). They wrote August 18th instead of March 18th. Can it still be certified by High court if I attach my birth certificate? The process of getting these transcripts is really difficult

I would suggest you go back to your school and correct that page where the whole mistake is. I don't know how far you are from your school, but if you possibly can, it's best you correct that mistake once and for all. I am actually saying this based on the assumption that you will apply to several schools in Germany, and you don't know how they will see the inconsistencies in your documents. Germans are usually crazy about date of birth and you never can tell who will review your application and how they might react to such.

Alternatively you can do an affidavit to cover up for the mistake, but I just don't know how they will see it. You know apart from school, you will still need the transcript for student visa interview. So the choice remains yours. All the very best.

SooCute:
That's the point. I cannever answer any nonsense pm asking me silly questions. Nobody said it's not possible to make it here, but ask yourself "how many out of how many". That's Statistics for you. Last semester over 70percent failed Statistics, Accounting, Maths, Phy, Econs; this semester they had to change some Profs. handling those courses. It's that Bad.
Now we are doing 3 accounting in one semester(Cost acct, Managerial Acct and Corporate Finance). The other school is doing only 2 Accounting, even spread it to the 2 semesters. They are not even offering Statistics whereas we are doing 3 Statistics in one semester. By the time you copy note for class and 3 long notes full for one course, you go tell me where you wan begin read. Most of the time, you go understand but no time to even read all because the course content is too much. The idiots even brag about it, yet they're failing and dropping out. When you come here you go know...

SooCute, nwoke mara mma, nwoke ka nwanyi mma, nwoke oma enyi oha, abeg no vex, we cherish and look up to your contributions here. But still add some good stories for us at least, eg you tell us how you and your professor take go club dance like tomorrow no dey, or how your professor take you out to go drink cool beer with nkwobi, lol. Please don't stop helping biko. Thank you so much. One love bro.

modupejay:
Ol Boy see para mode!

So, please let us not label anyone's wakka as false but also, when describing your own experience about a place, try not to generalise it. Bavaria is bad for you, doesn't mean its not chilling for another person. Experiences in places are relative to individuals.

E go be.

He is actually not generalising, if you read in between his comments very well, you will see where he made reference to statistics. And he is telling you exactly how it is with undeniable facts of which one or two persons here have confirmed. Its good we know all these things to enable us make informed decisions. Of course you know how expensive ignorance can be, so I really commend his style. One love brother.

Hi everyone!

So I stumbled upon this site late last year and it's been AMAZING, I've laughed, dragged people, been dragged, learned a lot and contributed the little I know, made really great friends who I'd love to have forever. On here I made friends who helped me every step of the way, whenever I had issues (I MEAN SOMEONE I'VE NEVER MET HELPED ME GET AN INTERVIEW DATE) and to all of them I say thank you, it's been wonderful meeting you all.

Now that I'm done speaking English and making sure my degree fees have been well spent, here's my time-line :
Interview date: 11th February
AM: 12th March (7:24 am) I spilled my tea!
Sent passport and insurance : 14th March.

Hoping to get all back next week, all the best to everyone expecting a response.

Bergoglio:
Please I want to do my MSc in Germany business administration precisely but I don't know the school am gonna choose here please can someone help to suggest. Thanks

search for schools on google, daad.de for a start. I believe we have different demands and moreover this is something you should do for yourself, unless you don't know what you want. For instance we might study same business administration, but I may be interested in finance, cos I find it more interesting and I look forward to building a career on it, while you might be interested in management. so you see our choices differ. why I am saying this is cos you alone know what you are capable of.

so make out time to research on possible options as well as related courses too. That reminds me, if you are interested in an MBA, you can check on this program. it's a full scholarship. Kofi Annan scholarship for mba in Germany. There's no harm in trying anyway. All the very best

Darrelah:
Hi guys, I have been very bothered to be honest. I got my AM jan 28th and posted my documents with passport and travel insurance to the embassy since last Wednesday, that’s 9 days now. No dispatch of my documents or any call from dhl. My brother’s own took only two days. I am so worried. I tried tracking and it says Nothing yet like it hasn’t been dispatched. My flight is for next weekend and I have made all arrangements. What could be the problem? Has there been cases like this?

Sorry I have to sound this way this morning, but I think it's expedient. If I am not mistaken this happens to be your very first comment here after getting every desirable information that got you seamlessly to this phase. Now you stuck with a problem and you have made a comment sharp sharp seeking for solutions. Why do you guys think only about yourselves, why do you want to benefit from a system without giving back, why are you so selfish bro. Is it just about you alone.

You see people looking for solutions to problems which you have already done and cleared and you care less. What sort of person are you? If others have not laid the foundation for you will you find a platform to soar. Honestly am very pissed when I see such persons just like you. You want to eat from a system without giving something in return. Now you are looking for assistance all of a sudden cos you are stuck in the wood. You suddenly remembered you can get assistance here, but you forgot you have not helped anyone here, not even those looking for schools to apply, or those confused with certifications.

If this is the kind of persons coming to deutschland, then I wonder if there will be hope for the upcoming applicants. May God help us all. Danke

Did you read the comment about sponsorship letter which immafrank posted here few days ago. If not, try and digest it for better understanding of your situation. Cheers

bl33d:
aside the difficulty in education, are there also crisis or high level of racism? It's good one get these facts straight before any further development

Racism we learnt is more around eastern germany regions with exception to Berlin being the capital of Germany, the Germans are quite conservative but very nice and straight forward. More shocking you might get rude expressions with beefs from your fellow African brothers from cameroun, Kenya and possibly Ghana etc. But in all, you will definitely survive.

Oga. Eldee. Why did you say Bavaria isn't quite cool?

like I earlier said from the reports we are getting. It's not like other places are not tough, but it seems to be more with Bavaria Here is an excerpt from a veteran, I have to shorten it.


Now it happened that many folks didn't have a clue. I asked the professor, "Are we gonna be expecting this kinda thing in Exam?"
She answered "You know, i didn't make the rules. It is typical for the Bavarian region. Our exams are usually not multi-choice. Normally, Education in Bavaria is tougher than every other part of Germany...so when you pass with a Bavarian certificate, ......."
Well, i am saying this because many people here wanted to travel out of Nigeria for many reasons. For me, if German certificate is German certificate....why should i come and kill myself by myself? Honestly, don't be discouraged. But also don't say "I wish i was told earlier". I have come of age to know what fits me per time. No be paper we dey find come here las las? What shall it profit your village people that you came here and graduate in 10years? Ogbeni are you a baby?

SooCute :
B2 should take you less than a year. But if you mingle and force yourself to speak (your cut and join German) you would eventually start making sense sooner.
Also depends on how much time you wanna put-in. I would advice you to start learning German from Nigeria. Throw yourself to it. Just like @hounorableseyi hinted, If yo come here bro/Sis you go ration your time ooo. Alot of wahala if you are doing Bachelors in Engineering( or STEM).
Time no go too dey plus course work, hustle go tie you down.
If you want soft small....avoid education in BAVARIA...i wouldn't say more than this..
Just laughing here about bavaria...where at the TUM fanatics?
Only one state with dramatic auslanderbehorde(foriegners office) and weirdo Uni...
My advice, learn basics German upto A2...look for mini job and face your studies 100%....look for internship or work student....dont com here for courses that are not marketable....during summer...work full time to save...prepare for life after studies....linkedin...xing etc.
Employers dont employ based on university ranking here....this is not UK or USA...dont come here for MBA as well...if one school is difficult transfer your credit to another uni.
God bless our hussle..

Hello Gentlemen and Ladies,

So I've been reading and started my application to an extent.

I have two courses TUM I'm putting in for.

1. Sustainable Resource Management
2. Management.

Both are masters.

Winter semester.

I have few questions as the heat of the application is on, deadlines to meet and essays to write I hope I'm not late.

1. This scratch card for checking result to be sent, mist it be the hard copy card, can I just buy the pin online and send on a printed sheet attached with the notorized copy of the original result?

2. I have my 8640Euro set, however are there some expenses I have not factored? Just this evening the issue of accommodation just came into mind, please how do I go about this any advice?

3. Please are there people forwarding results to Uni Assist so we can package it together via DHL to avoid stories and reduce cost?

I still have more questions, I hope to get answers to them even as I read. However I'll have to ask here...

Thanks in anticipation of your swift response...

@justwise. Keep up the good work...

Why the two if I may ask, and why only TUM? The reports we have gotten from schools in bavaria seems not quite cool anyway. I would suggest you check out for other courses that catch your interest, if possible look out for related courses as well. But make sure you check the application process very well to see if it suits you.

For the scratch card, anyone you get is ok, as long as its valid to check the results. But note it must be printed, and please don't attach it to the copy you are meant to submit. Just have it on you.

Every study related expenses you are required to make for the whole year is being captured in that 8640 of which accommodation is inclusive, however take note you have to pay for Nigeria bank charges and your block account handling cost. So you should be funding with 8829 euros or a little more depending on the bank you intend to use. But while traveling, make sure you have with you at least a sum of about €1000 to enable you sort out other relevant expenses before you unblock and also your caution fees if you have need to secure accommodation especially when its very difficult to find one.

As per uniassist, some persons here are already putting their applications together to forward to unassist to reduce cost, so read to find out who they are and contact them. You have to locate them and not them coming to you.

As regards other questions of yours, feel free to ask them here but make sure you ask reasonable questions. Kindly read pages from part five at least to learn more about the process. We encourage active participation so we await to see your contributions to other people who are also new, just as we are doing to you now.

Remove every entitlement mentality and don't expect we spoon feed you. You see say na my church mind I carry answer you this questions with details even though you go say you no force me, laughs. But plz be polite, humble and be resourceful to others here with your contributions.

One love.

Determinedsoul:
Actually looking for schools without uniassit. Been browsing she. If you know any, plz refer me tnx.

You have to live up to that name of yours if you are really ready to embark on this journey. Invest your time in the search, read pages from part five at least for resourceful information that will enhance your application and save you lots of cost, except you don't mind making terrible mistakes and losing money as well. Almost everything you need to know is domiciled here.

For the search use daad.de and also google as well. Also look out for related courses and apply as much as possible so that you won't limit your chances.

imoriafe:
Pls all, how true is that u can use VPD to apply for student visa?

I haven't seen that happen in a while. Embassy clearly stated in their website that what they accept is your admission letter, a scanned copy is enough to book for appointment.

lecksam:
Please for the motivation letter what font size is best to use and must I make the cv in German format attaching passport?

Unless stated by the schools you are applying to, but it's better you do something standard and normal ie 11 or 12 font size. But for the embassy it should be handwritten, so take note of the difference.

As for the CV, guess you are referring to the EU format, ie the one with your picture. If so, you are good to go with that, unless stated otherwise.

Please try and read pages from part 5 at least, it's to the best of your interest.

toys2seven:
Thanks... Please I'm open to your advice. Bsc. Architecture cgpa 3.14

I just did that when I asked you to critically check your motivation letters and the application requirements.

toys2seven:
Good afternoon guys, thank to all the contributors here. Please can anyone help with a list of schools that don't require you send documents physically? I've gone through 4 admission processes of sending hard copies and none have clicked. I'm beginning to get tired. Please these schools should offer courses in English.

Thank you guys.


PS: I've Been following on and off from Part 4.

That's not the very best of approach to the best of my knowledge. I suggest you check your motivation letters and take a critical look at what each application demands. Meanwhile what's your bsc and what's your cgpa
