Missmi:
Anyone opened a blocked account recently? I just got my account details from Fintiba without going to sign any documents at the embassy, so I'm just wondering if the process has changed. All they are waiting for right now is a transfer, but I thought you make the transfer after signing something at the embassy.

Please how did you obtain TIN PIN, I dont have that and its holding me to complete my registration

samholly:


remember you now !!

crying Cox of your course description. Smiles

you got the admission ?

"Academic entry requirements": not checked yet.

I wonder why they are wasting time to check mine when they have given some people admission in the same course. Maybe they applied earlier though

samholly:

I applied for media informatics !!

Applied geoscience

Philfit:

That’s nice men.
Only problem is by that time you can be seeing interview dates available only in September

Which months are available now please

For those that opened fintiba, what should I fill in the two shaded spaces

I will advise everybody to check career section of your intended course in the university of interest.
It helps you make a better choice of school to finally settle for.

Like that guy that asked question between choosing Freiberg and Aachen university for Msc in Geoscience.
If he looked at the career section of Aachen he would be impressed and would have chosen Aachen without blinking an eye. Now I know part of the reason they are ranked well in the world.

Dont only apply to schools, take time to check the career section and know if the school actually cares for your employability by creating adequate medium for that

A response to someone on how to get job after Msc in Germany




These are the following points, I think can help you:

German: You should have a good knowledge of German, you should be able to hold a normal conversation in German and also write a little bit in it.
Internships: After coming here in Germany, you should do some Internships or get some technical exposure. It will help you get to know how things work here in Germany.
Programming skills: You should have good hold on atleast one language of programming. Here almost everyone knows one language pretty well.
Culture: Invest your time a little bit in understanding the German culture and try to mingle with Germans. You need to approach them.

Chriswazo:

Basalt:


Have you checked the ranking of this school in the world?
Guy this school is not even among the first 2000 best universities in the world, better check well o o o.
Why not apply to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology which is ranked 135 in the entire world and by far better and more prestigious than of karlsruhe university of applied science that is ranked over 2500 in the world.

Well, I applied to 7 universities and I believe more schools will give me admission too for me to make my choice.

Gross salary (before tax) but don’t worry people rarely ever get this as fresh graduates. City also has a role to play. what you’d see most people having starting like 39/40/-45 then in cities like Munich or Berlin it can enter 50-55 as staters (but then cost of living is higher) . For residence permit it must be a job related to your field of study
Permanent residency after studying in Germany, you must have been working and paying taxes for 30+months and If you Can provide B1 language certificate it takes just 21 months after graduation

very nice information.
like how many percent is income tax because from data in wikipedia, I am seeing 47.475% (45% income tax + 5.5% solidarity surcharge based on the total tax bill)

working with the data above
if someone earns 39,000 euro in a year, his income after tax should be 18513 Euros.
from research also, it takes 700 euro to live in Germany if you are conservative.
700x12 = 8400 euros in a year.

Then 18,513 euros minus 8400 euros leaves you with 10,113 euros per annum

Now lets convert the income to naira
10,113 x 400 euro = #4,045,200

4,045,200 divided by 12 = #337,100 profit every month.

with the above mathematical analysis, one can deduce that for a fresh MSc graduate, you are sure of atleast
#300,000 income every month after tax and bills

Eldeee:


Just google esri training, there you will find list of free courses. look out for their MOOC free courses, register your details and start.

I hope ESRI certificate will be accepted. I emailed the course coordinator just now.
I seriously hope she will consider the certificate valid

freakky:

Yes i am.... But it's not a requirement for me..... I wasn't ask to do any course.... I just like doing esri's courses this is actually my third mooc with esri

Please I just sent you a PM, I will like to chat with you in private

Bamstar007:

Hello bro. Please what is your undergraduate course

Geology. I have just responded to your PM

freakky:

The course has already started there was a lecture today..... Remains 4 weeks, you need to attend the first two lectures

Are you doing the course at Ensri?

freakky:

Yes

Waooo, can't wait to meet you, Demigodzeus and Eldeee.
I just registered for the GIS course at Ensri and documented my credentials.
Will kick off soon.
It's a 6 week course

freakky:

You welcome..... Looking forward to meeting you in Karlsruhe... Cheers

Are you also admitted in the school?

Eldeee:


Congratulations my brother, am so sorry for responding kinda late, honestly am just seeing your post, I have been offline for some days now.

As regards this, I also had exactly the same issue. But from their explanations, they mean to say you didn't do enough courses in GIS during your undergraduate studies.

This is what I did, I looked out for institutions doing short courses on GIS got their certificate and send it immediately to the coordinator, and they sent me the admission without condition.

I actually used FUTA, there is a short course program they do, paid 20k, got my certificate and sent immediately. The only downside is they delayed giving me my certificate even after several worries and I was not happy with that, don't know if they have improved.

I want to believe ESRI have some free courses you can enroll in and get your certificate after 4 weeks or so. That I believe will also serve.

Am so glad you finally made it, kindly respond to the offer if you are interested. They usually don't admit so much, last year I think they are about 13 or 14 students admitted.

If you have any other issues, feel free to ask questions or kindly pm me. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much Eldee, you are just like an Elder in this forum no wonder your name is Eldeee. I really appreciate.
I emailed them and confirmed the admission and to clear my curiosity, I told the lady that I no too hold money and asked if I can be allowed to pay in instalments and also get scholarship.
she replied within 5mins

Hello,

The Tuition fees of 1.500€ have to be paid before lectures start after your arrival here in Karlsruhe.

They can also be paid in installments.

You have to write a simple request for that, specifying in which month you will be able to pay what amount of money. Until January 1st, the whole amount has to be paid! If not, you will not be accepted for the second semester.



For scholarships, please check at the website of the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service): https://www.daad.de/en/search/?q=

After started your studies, you can also apply for scholarships at the University, for example Deutschlandstipendium or Baden-Württemberg-Stipendium.

freakky:

Also esri is currently running a course on cartography, you could register now and do the course after the course you send the certificate to them hope this also helps And it's 6 weeks not 4 weeks the course started since last week Just let the school know you are currently doing a mooc with esri and you will be awarded your certificate in may

Thank you so much my dear

1. internship varies from university to university, some make it compulsory and place you there, others require you search on your own. some universities publish list of companies who have accepted their students for internship and leave the decision to you.

2. a university I checked said A2 level is required for lab work, I guess something higher will be required to work in the cities

3. I'm not there yet, gurus kindly attend to this. IMHO it depends on your determination and drive to succeed.

Thanks for your wonderful response.

Phineas01:

Go and Learn Trade

What an advice.
A first class graduate of mechanical engineering to go and learn trade?
Please don't insult education.
He deserves more.
He can get more.

Mikaelson21:

Can someone still graduate well, if he starts badly like maybe 3.0 outta 5.0

If it's 3.0 in an entire section and in a four year course then the highest possible grade you can make is second class upper unless you can make 5.0 in all the remaining sections to make the lowest possible first-class (4.50) which is impossible to you.
Now, even to make that second class upper which is the highest projected grade for your current point, you really need to work very very hard to stand a chance.
As a matter of fact, you need to make at least 3.7 GP in all the remaining three sections to stand any chance of making second class upper which is not easy to get especially for someone who got 3.0 in a section.
If you make 3.0 in any other section, then wave goodbye to second class upper division and embrace second class lower.


That's just the raw truth

Shengfu:
Hello Gurus. Thank you guys for all you do here. I have been a silent reader here for about 2 years now and I can say I'm finally ready to give Deutschland a go. I am a recent graduate that is due to go for Nysc by june/July this year but I also intend to process the application, I plan on leaving if the opportunity presents itself and everything falls thru. My question is will the absence of nysc certificate among my certs cause any trouble. Is the nysc certificate compulsory at the embassy for MSc applications. Please respond. Thank you.

NYSC certificate is not needed for your MSc in Germany but NYSC certificate or exemption letter is needed to get government work in Nigeria.
So if you intend to get government job in Nigeria, then finish your NYSC first but if you have no plan of working in Nigeria, aplly for your MSc and leave

Magma012:
When did you apply?

Oh Gosh. I just just discovered that I have to send some documents offline to support my online application. My application form was written in German and I didnt really understand it at all.
I thought everything is normal until I translated the writing and found out that I need to certify and post some documents in addition to my online application.
And the deadline was 31st March

Congratulations Denizsmart.

Graduating with first class in Nigerian public school ain't a child's play.
I will advise you to go for your masters in a good country.
If you don't have the fund, seek for scholarships. You will surely get one with your excellent result.

Even me wey dey type this wey manage to graduate with 3.55 has already applied to 8 universities abroad and by God's grace will leave the country later this year.
