Schrodinger22:
Good day house, I am really happy with the wealth of information on this thread and want to use this opportunity to start my process soon

I would like to state my profile and my intention, will be very glad if the gurus in the house can advice me accordingly.

I had my undergraduate in physics/electronics since 2011, working in a telecommunication company till this moment and want to pursue my MSc in telecommunication related course. My CGPA is a bit low 3.2/5.0.

Can anyone suggest a good school for MSc in telecommunication engineering, found one University of Bremen is it a nice school? I am funding myself and already saved the €9000. What are my chances in getting a direct masters program with my CGPA and is there still hope for winter admission or i wait till summer? Please, i need your advice.

I look forward to hearing from someone...

First of all don't worry too much about you cgpa your gradein German scale is 2.3 which is higher than the 2.5 minimum requirements from most German schools.

Secondly your work experience would come handy if you desire to apply for courses in telecoms (just make sure you package your Cv very well, use Google to see samples of how telecom Engineers package their Cv). And if you are using uniassist make sure you add your employment documents and recommendation letter from your work place if possible to beef up your applications).

For schools, Uni Bremen is a nice school and they use job experience as part of their admission assessment criteria for that CIT course you are interested in. Also check Uni Kassel, Cologn uni of applied sciences, Kempten uni of apolied sciences, TU Chemitz. Winter is already gone but you can just go to daad.de to start searching against summer.

Finally since your undergraduate study is not Elect/Elect, in your motivation letter try to highlight the electronics/communications courses you did and focus more on your job experience as your selling point.

heybaby12:
What most ppl fail to understand is that your motivation letter speaks for you, use that Avenue to cover wasted years,bad grades,change of career path, sound smart but not arrogant.
I have read some motivation letters of people that have been denied and I almost cried.

Note: there are many reasons why one can be rejected.
At the end is not by your power.

Thanks

aduku1:
1. All information you give to them

3b. Yes they do.

99% of rejections I have seen so far will be to the following reasons
1. Course taught in

The remaining 1% I cannot fantom the reasons

Thank you for this info]

I have been wondering why some people still get rejection after German visa interview (Considering the fact that Germany intentionally waved tuition to encourage international students). And these are the questions running through my mind. Elders in the house pls assist with answers to help us learn from thoes who have experienced these things before.


What are the exact information the VOs usually send to the Alien office?

Do they forward all your documents to the Alien office for further verification?

If your work experience as highlighted in your Cv is not really directly related to your chosen Msc program is it a problem ? And do the VO forward your submitted Cv to the Alien office?

And what are the possible rejection reasons people have received before.?

Na wa ooo Fh Aachen no give me joy! And no AL yet!

Dear applicant,

You have applied to uni-assist for the Global Business and Economics degree programme at the FH Aachen

Only those applications with the 10 best grades can be admitted to a course of study.
Your converted grade is 2,2 (best grade 1,0 and worst grade 4,0).
You cannot therefore expect to be enrolled in this programme in any case.

The registrar's office asks you not to make further inquiries until you receive our next information.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Studierendensekretariat der Fachhochschule Aachen

Father lawd...... This school nor get joy at all. My brother don't worry AL will come. Alot of people hear kissed many rejections before getting AL

Deustchemann:
1. Yes. It is possible if your school grants it. You can mail your course coordinator to that effect. If it's granted, you'll be issued another Admission letter that will cover for the winter Application period.
2. Same also applies to summer deferment. So far it's approved, you'll be sent a new AL.
If the school doesn't accept the deferment, then apply again next winter and upload the AL you got from them this year as a supporting document. It will ease their stress of re-evaluating you since you had been previously admitted.

Thanks for this brother.

badmus306:
1. Some schools allow, some don't.
2. Yes, some schools allow it , they will send u another admission letter for summer.

Thanks badmus

sassy92:
It depends. Some schools allow you to defer, while some don't. Your best bet is to mail the course coordinator and ask about deferment. Also if the course is only offered in winter, you can only defer to the next winter if deferment is possible.

Thanks

dailydolar:
1. Depend on school
2. If they allow you to defer they might give you admission early that's what I have been noticing ooo .
Hope this helps

Thank you missy

Smartwoods:
Pls can i message you privately, drop your email address pls... Thanks

Send me a pm or drop your mail.

walexy06:
Rejection is part of this Waka.. It get no shame, can come at any time, be it before AL or after AL. Just got my 3rd rejection today from Schmalkalden with no AL yet. All Na restricted admission sha... I Dey wait other AL surely. So anytime you see rejection mail, just smile and say I no even want una inthe first place(0 even if Na ur most preferred city. Na best Way to reject people wey reject u b dat. Basic.. AL coming, chillax

Which sourse did you apply for at Schmalkalden. They have not responded to me yet.

Kloenboi:
Good evening house please who is heading to schemalkalden (thuringia) I got an admitted to Mechatronics in the school

@ computaholicGoc how far with student Job in that area?

You mean M. Eng. Mechatronics and Robotics, I also applied. Pls when did you apply? And when did they send you admission letter?

X36DD:
Hello please help me, Engineering and management at Ingolstadt or Industrial engineering maintenance and operation at deggendorf? Can you say something about them and your most preferred? Thanks

That Industrial Engineering, maintenance and operation will open more doors for you to the numerous industries in Germany even if you decide to leave Germany training in such area is sought after in Nigeria. Engineering and management is more inclined towards top professionals who want to specialized and beef up their managerial skills. If you are just trying to start a career go for that Industrial Engineering.

Good morning All. Elders in the house pls help me understand this:



1)Is it possible to defer admission from winter to winter has anybody done it before.

2)And concerning deferment from winter to summer is it usually automatic admission ( the school will send you the letter on time before the usual summer admission period ) Or you have to wait again for the summer admission to start rolling out

[quote author=Ali228 post=80104784][/quote]Thanks for this info my brother. Did you use ielts or EPL?

Ali228:
Hello, yea. On the DIT official website there are two semester entries for mechatronics and cyber-physical systems but notice its master program i think the Bachelor program of mechatronics starts only in winter.

Do you have any information about if the DIT defer/delay the admission to the next semester? My visa department might take too long time to process my visa application.

My brother check that start date properly so you won't waste time on it, it is starting March( Summer). I think the issue is since the data base is the same for all courses in the school, you can upload docs for any course. But it is not for winter

Ok, good to here this, I will verify it. I don't information on that. I advise you mail DIT to enquire.

Barth88:
Guys did anyone apply to deggendorf technical college via primus? i was asked to upload some other doc, however, there is no space available space for more upload and they keep insisting i must upload via the upload section, their deadline is on the 15th, im really troubled by this.

Check if they rejected any document that they want you to reupload

elpatron95:
Good morning
Please I had 2 questions, one has been answered when I read through the thread.
I have made 4 applications via uni assist,
In sending the hard copies, someone told me that only one copy of my certificate and transcript is needed for the 4 applications

Am I safe ?

Yes uniassist only need for copy each since you are using uniassist for the four schools

Ali228:
What is your bachelor's grade? I am applied for mechatronics and cyber-physical systems. But they didn't tell anything yet.

I think the test is specific to the course he applied for as stated on DIT website


Is there winter opening Mechatronics. I thought Mechatronics and cyber physical systems starts only during Summer?

Please I need help with the format of how to state in your EPL from Nigeria uni that your English level is up to B2 according to European standard / frame work. I know somebody did it and posted a sample here but I can't find it now.

Paclarge:
I sent my documents to uni assist through ups but I just saw this now while tracking to know if the documents have been received . The notification said that they don't deliver to p.o. Boxes but they will deliver to the updated address. I come dey wonder ooo � please who have used UPS before.

Uniassist has another address as stated below incase your courier services rejects the first one, you can try this one:


uni-assist e.V.,
Geneststrasse 5,
10829 Berlin.
Germany.

Am a Nigerian but I schooled in Ghana.i graduated with a cgpa of 2.8 of 4.0(70%).i have plans of doing my masters in Germany but I have some challenges
1 the agent said I can’t do my Master’s with my grades,that it’s too low.that I need to top up my grade with a 1year degree program
2 the amount the angent is charging me for processing is too high
3 I would love to do it myself but I have no ideal how to...

You got 70% out of 100% and one agent said you are not qualified and you believed. That your cgpa would give you good courses in Germany. Go to daad.de to search for different courses of your choice.

Bankkydarry:
Good evening,I applied to FAU,unibochum & schmalkalden university and I have not heard from them.Who else applied to these universities? when did you apply and how did you hear from them.
Regards

Which course did you apply to at Schmalkaden? I applied for Mechatronics and Robotics Msc

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.

What a read! What a transcript! AM fall on you my brother.

Hello y'all,
Please is there anyone applying to Kassel university thus winter section, I need help with an info on electrical and communication engineering.

I applied there through uniassist , but no news yet from the school

Paclarge:
Hello house, I have a question. The birth certificate I submitted to uni assist is from National population commission. But from what I saw in the required documents to cone to the embassy with , it was states that any NPC birth cert that is before December 1992 is un acceptable. I'm yet to get my AL , but I'm already worried about this cause I don't have my real birth certificate.

Affidavit from high court deposed by the head of your family is accepted

Sharly343:
can someone please help me with this it's urgent please..

If you are sending it to uniassist go to court and certify all your documents afresh don't add the one you certified at the embassy to the transcript you would certify at the court to avoid any inconsistency; Just certify everything again at the court and make sure the stamp from the certifying person at the court appears on each page. That's what I sent to uniassist and it was accepted. Also pray for a smooth sail.

Eldeee:
Bros na student visa I apply for na no be work visa, so what is more important is your admission letter and your school documents and not employment letter or pay slips.
