Thank you hosey I really appreciate God bless you more

@Gbp2020.

Coventry is a low ranked university. It is a third rated university same USW.

If it were that you gained admission in second rated and first rated university such as University of Birmingham, University of Manchester, Imperial College, University College London, Cambridge e.t.c, then you can leave there.

Also with that 5000 pounds, you will live comfortably in Wales as it will sort all your accommodation in school making you focus only on your study. Dont come to UK and work uncontrollably making you graduate with pass like most people do here. You can also use the extra change to improve yourself in gaining a
skills and trainings in relation to your studies.

This will make you stand out for employment. Go to USW. Conventry is a low ranked university.
Both schools are in the same category in the eyes of employers. Good luck.

Thanks I really appreciate God bless you

There’s no better option o because that’s the only course that can accept your 3rd. You won’t get offer for IT or Health related courses. Just make use of your time there by doing internship or relevant part time work or placement or volunteering work etc. God will be with you. If U.K. is your final bus stop, so shall it be. You go find work

I did my one year service (NYSC) with the Nigeria security and civil defense in 2018. After the completion of my NYSC in 2019, the civil defense consider my request to join the volunteer group for anti-fraud unit.

LagosismyHome:
What of your work background...do you have some years of experience and in what areas. The reason I say is that , I just feel with courses like this job is hard to create a niche or enter after graduation

Please what are the better options if you don't mind asking

SegunWamiri:

What has 3rd class Sociology got to do with international business management?

I'm sure that there are better options for you regardless. I won't advise you to apply for this course if you are thinking of remaining in the UK after your studies

Thanks I really appreciate

Mikeval001:
Coventry University tuition is expensive,the university is outside London and the cost of living is more expensive compare to South Wales. I have a sister doing her first degree at Coventry University so I got to know few things about the Uni.

I recently got conditional offer from USW for MSc and from my findings after putting a lot of things into consideration I would say spending extra 5K to go to Coventry University is not worth it.

Thanks boss I really appreciate.

hosey:
Go to University of South Wales. The 5000 pounds difference is massive. Also, Coventry university is not in the top list of universities but just slightly higher than USW.

So go to USW.

I will go to university I can afford. Thanks and God bless you more sir

justwise:
I don't know much about South Wales in terms of cost of living but the university ranked lower than Coventry university hence the low fees and other give-a ways to attract students.

Coventry university ranking is good though that fees is high, you should be able to get student job in Coventry and it's not a expensive city to live...though depending on your taste/lifestyle.

I don't think that Wales will be an expensive place to live as a student though, go to university and city you can afford and come out with good result.

I studied sociology but graduated with 3rd class that's why am going for MSC international business management

Philfit:
Did you book in both Cat A and Cat B? If so cancel in both categories. It’s possible the one you canceled might be for a different category you are trying to book.
Hope this works cause if this is not the case i don’t know what else you can do.
Maybe send a mail to info@lago.diplo.de

I've already cancelled the old appointment and was sent a mail that my appointment was cancelled successfully then I tried to book again please what should I do

Philfit:

I've cancelled and got a confirmation in my email that my appointment was cancelled successfully

Timothy20190:

MY TRANSCRIPT:

So I had my interview today July 1, 2019. Got to the embassy by 5:29am met one person but he was for Short term visa. So I was number one on the queue for Student visa. Paulinus then started calling....I attached all my photocopies at the back of the originals to make them easy to access....thanks to Nairaland and my brother that told me about this arrangement (NB: Don't staple them pls, use office pin holders to hold them). So I didn't have any wahala at all with oga paulinus.
Oga paulinus first checked in the short term visa people. They were 5 in number.
I was now told to go in for the interview. But before I went in for my interview , we were around 8 Students on the queue. Fast forward to me and Vo;

Me: Good morning
Vo: what are u here for?
Me: Student visa
Vo: Let me have all your documents
Me: Alright ma. Everything?
Vo: Yes
Me: (I gave her all apart from photo passports)
Vo: Can I have your passport?
Me : It's there with the documents (pointing to my International passport on her table)
Vo: No, I mean photo passport
Me: oh...I gave her 4, she returned back 2 apart from the one stapled on the form.
Vo: you are going for bachelors degree?
Me: yes ma
Vo: Have u not had your bachelors before?
Me: I have
Vo: Y another bachelor?
Me: I chose to do my second bachelor because of change in my career path. I currently own a startup business and this degree will increase my specialization in the chosen career and help me become an expert in the field. Again it will help me to run my company more confidently and professionally.
Vo: ok
Vo: Your email is.........(printed 2papers and gave me; confirm your data and sign)
Me: yes they are all correct ( then I signed on both)
Vo: put your 4fingers, right hand first and then your left hand
Me placed as requested)
Vo: Can i have your visa fee?
Me: (I gave her, she then counted and gave me a receipt of payment)
Vo: Alright. Lets start the interview now.
Me: ( for my mind nawaa oo...so interview never even started before!) Ok ma
Vo: oh you have funded?
Me: yes ma
Vo: which school are you going to?
Me: Trier University of Applied Sciences, Umwelt-campus Birkenfeld (NB: I was slow because she was typing what I was answering)
Vo: Umwelt-campus?
Me: yes ma.... that's Environmental campus in English
Vo: Course?
Me: Sustainable Business and Technology (bsc)
Vo: Why this course?
Me: this course will help me to build my business management and technological skills to enable me run my startup confidently, effectively and professionally.
Vo: Is the course in English?
Me: Yes it's taught completely in English
Vo: Do u speak German?
Me: No I don't.
Vo: What do u do?
Me: I own a startup business (I called the name and said I have my website and I have got it registered)
Vo: what is the company all about?
Me: it's an on-demand home services technology startup that connects individuals, homeowners and companies to their professional skilled workers.
Vo: Have u been to Germany before?
Me: No ma
Vo: Do u know anyone in Germany?
Me: No ma
Vo: Have u applied for German visa before?
Me: No ma
Vo: Have u applied for visa at all before?
Me: yes ma(Poland). Some years back.
Vo: ok
Vo: why Germany?
Me: Higher education in Germany is among the best in the world(Then light went off, she said I should pause. After like 30seconds, light returned and she said ok continue). Universities in Germany are tuition free which is extended to us the international students. Also Germany is among the safest country to study for international students and I will also have the opportunity to learn a second language which is German and interact with other International Students.
Vo: Why not Nigeria?
Me: This kind of course that combines Business and Technology isn't obtainable in Nigeria. Secondly, we do more of theoritical learning than practical training so it won't help me to expertise in this field.
Vo: why not Uk, Canada or USA?
Me: Their tuition fees are very expensive. I can't afford it.
Vo: what do u know about Germany?
Me: Germany is located in central and Western Europe and it's capital is in Berlin. Germany is boarded by 9countries. Coming from North u have Denmark, down in the south u have Austria and Swiss, to the East u have Poland and Czech , from the West u have Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands, if you go down a bit at the south-west u have France (She was nodding her head; mind you I was using this North,south, East, west something to kill time small...lolz but all were very correct and I was saying them slowly). The German president is Frank Walter- Steinmeier and he is the head of state charged with representative responsibilities and power. The chancellor is Angela Dorothea Merkel, the head of government, charged with responsibility of discharging her executive duties through her cabinet. Coming down to the legislative; u have bundesrat headed by Daniel Gunther as the president and Bundestag u have Wolfgang Schauble as the president that oversees the daily session of the house. The reunification of Germany was on October 3 1990(she kept nodding her head). Berlin has the largest train station and Frankfurt has the 4th busiest airport in Europe(at this point my head couldn't remember anything. she said continue. I then said German chancellor office in Berlin is known locally as "Washing machine". Vo said what ? I repeated it but this time in a very low tone. She said don't say what you are not sure of. I come say sorry ma with small smiles and then I scratched my head). Immediately football entered my head and I began to flow once more... Germany have won world cup 4times...1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014. They have also hosted it twice..1974 and 2006. The Euro.....she then said it's ok.
Vo: So what's next after your studies?
Me: I will proceed for my master degree to be grounded in business and Technology. After which I will come back to Nigeria to re-establish my company professionally.
Vo: Alright that will be all .
Me: Thank you ma(I wanted to leave then I returned back, please ma can I ask a question)?
Vo: yes you are free.
Me: please I don't know my fate regarding this interview because am thinking of getting enrolled for German class .
Vo: for me u performed well in your interview but the decision is not only mine but anyway u can go ahead and enroll.
Me: Thank you very much ma.

Security people come dey tap me for small choppings as I dey leave, finally I dropped small tin for them. They tried for me anyway.
NB: I came out from the interview room around 7:45am. When I came out, the Students that were outside should be around 30. Though some might be for Certification. By my own calculation, I spent around 30 to 35mins with the Vo and I was interviewed by the lady in Room 2( Her style of hair be like dreadlock). To be sincere, she was very nice and friendly.
*On a lighter note...I no sleep last night...went to bed by 11:45pm and I set alarm for 3am on my 2phones(imagine). U know all these witch people fit remember person on a day like dis. Anyway they no see me shaa. Na so Lagos people dey suffer rain? It dealt with me shaa. Lagos una good morning! Make I do leave una.
Una welldone oo. Na so my interview waka take go.

THE MAN WHO ASK A QUESTION IS A FOOL FOR A MINUTE.

THE MAN WHO DOES NOT ASK, IS A FOOL FOR LIFE.

Adeolamikaay:
In life, I believe if you everything will fall to place eventually. Like it just fall to place with or without people help. It might just take time but it will.. Being helpful is tasking and require lot of patience... I believe the person in question is tense with activities but don't blame who's asking for help.. If they also know they wouldn't constitute time deprivation.

My bro and sister, enlightened travelers and intending traveler I urge us all to endure one another. Help is unique and it can come from anybody and any time (even the person u assisting now)

Thanks y'all

[This is true..... you're right sassy92
IF YOU KNOW IF YOU KNOW
BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW NOW YOU KNOW

sassy92:
I've been speaking with an Indian friend who is studying in the same school I'm planning on attending in DE and let me share the information I got from him with everyone here.
Do you know why Indians succeed wherever they migrate to? It's not just because they share information with one another but because they actually LISTEN AND TAKE ADVICE. My Indian friend told me that when he was planning to go to DE, he was advised not to step foot in DE without at least B1 in German. He had to stay back in India for a year learning the language and getting the certificate from Goethe. He said he has met many Nigerian students who can't speak Deutsch and they are struggling in terms of moving around and getting jobs. I told him we have a forum here on the Internet (Nairaland) where we share information with one another and we've always been told to learn the language before going to DE. He said and I quote "Then why don't you guys listen?"
I've said my own you can process this information as you wish. Oh, he said as a foreigner, all the German you speak means nothing without the official certificate from the Goethe institute to prove it, especially when applying for jobs.
PS: if you are going to OVGU Magdeburg and you don't have at least A2 Zertifikat, it will be very difficult for you to get student jobs. Most of the people who can't speak German have to either go to other cities for jobs or relocate altogether. And this is not just coming from my Indian friend, some Nigerians who are there also said the same thing.
