Willkommen an Bord chef cool

Can you tell us about your experience so far and some useful information about Bavaria states

Vielen Dank smiley
although i´ve not been to all parts of Bayern, i´ve met virtually everyone from all the regions here. cos of where i work of course.

Bavarians are fun, cultural and strong. most of their women are indpendent, old ones never tire...the landlady of a colleague is 88, this woman still does chores and voluntarily does their laundry.

the notion that Germans are racial bla bla is not so here. these guys would kill you of love. once they get to know you, that´s all. trust me, patience is key. although sometimes it could take longer when you´re trying to set p...me myself still dey on hold, e no easy.

it´s amazing how my colleagues at work want me to learn their native dialect, Bayerische rather than Deutsch. thanks to them, i know a few words and sentences in Bayerische.

yh, they´ve been many instances where Nigerians here dgaf about a fellow Nigerian. it´s really bad. But i believe a few haven´t lost it.

one amazing thing some of my colleagues from different nationalities tell me is... i´m the best Nigerian they´ve met. it´s saddening to hear how some folks behave here, it´s really lugubrious

but we thank God, some of us still raise the flag high

Please I need all the help I can get, the pricing in the accommodation modules they sent to me are not even feasible on a €720/month stipend.

Thanks Dolpaz for this well researched contribution.
Just a little addition pls.

A white lady who happened to be a friend and mother visited me and was advising me about the misconceptions white girls(including germans) have about black guys.
According to her, most German girls are of the opinion that blacks are "good in bed". They may not have long term plan for you but only want to sleep with you.

Be careful when you come here that nobody ruin your life and future.

Couldn't have said it any better, absolutely spot on.

This is the second or third time I'm reading such bad reviews about the state of Bavaria.

Majority of the schools I applied to are in Bavaria
Wurzburg
Regensburg
FAU erlangen-nürnberg
Bayreuth...

I think is time i channel my energy into seeking for admission in other states like Kiel. I no wan rubbish abeg

Now this is where I have to come in. First of all fam, don't be misled by anyone here.

Most of what @SooCute said is absolutely false.

Come to think of it, the resources to thrive academically are here, I and my other naija guy here got very good jobs, grades and everything we wished for. I won't go further in listing all.

But folks, don't be misled.
Fun fact is, Bavaria is the best place to be in Germany. The nicest Germans are actually Bavarians. Please, don't argue that with me!!

Just cos you didn't get what you wanted or wished for doesn't mean you generalise and misinformed innocent people.

Stay woke fam.

Don't be misled!

Good morning house. Please I have a question. Winter application for most schools on uni assist is not yet opened. Can I apply under summer which is almost rounding up and get the schools to consider me for winter intake?
most of the schools here don´t defer admission, so if you can wrap everything up asap and get an early visa interview date, go for it!

But waiting till winter apps starts isn´t bad ok

To my folks that applied to THD, master in Mechatronics and CPS, although you met the minimum admission requirement, you were not admitted simply because some other applicants were better qualified, based on other documents submitted.
I hear they didn´t request for SOP or GRE or certain tests scores or reference letters, but remember you´re always asked to provide docs that would aid your application.

Be that as it may, the strongest element in an application is a SOP/motivational letter. Work experience, vocational skills et al are ephemeral...

Trust me, the competition would be more come winter 2019 application. I´d advice you start preparing right now. Take IELTS/TOEFL, GRE isn´t too much. Give your best in writing your SOP.
When all these are checked, then you look for schools that are easy to apply for (yh yh don´t forget your prefered choice of course wink)

No offence, but these Indians that are 96% of our class aren´t more qualified than some of us here, but they know what it takes to be admitted and they did the needful. So also the incoming students. I´m not saying you should engage in any frivolous act or falsified ish, but you gotta take this application P

We all gotta thrive, I´m no clairvoyant or seen no crystal ball, but I know what runs through the mind of the average person applying.

Better luck next time!

How far? I just have a question about this. Have they started sending out rejection mails too? Or they will wait till they have finished with the admission before sending them? Because I am yet to hear anything from them and I will like to know whether to start accelerating my other plans or just wait a bit. Thanks.
No idea of any rejection mail whether they send or not

Hello everyone.

To my folks that applied to THD for master in Mechatronics...

Note that

1. The cut off is 75%. (I heard in my own time it was much lower and just 350 people from the globe applied and they admitted 100, but not all came through, visa ish and all. But in your set, its 1200+ applicants and they intend admitting just 100).
2. The first batch of admission letters has been sent.
3. Other batches would be sent and wrapped up hopefully this Friday.
4. May the odds be in your favour.

Good luck to those selected

Baba I applied for the course o. But I dont even know what is going on again. Even my certificate that I submitted has been tagged In progress since November nothing to show whether it was accepted or not. All other documents were tagged OK. So unless your school is sending the admission in batches or they are waiting for some people in one batch to reject the offer so they can fill it up with other people, I dont see the reason for the delay.
The main reason I am even so interested in that your course is because of the additive manufacturing and immersive technologies in the curriculum. Unfortunately I was unable to find another course that offers something similar. So it means I may have to apply again if this summer attempt falls through.


Bros stay positive o. It is good. But me I have started preparing for winter semester already.
well, to y´all that applied, keep calm ok
i told you they got 34 applications from naija and over 1200 globally just for the course, and they´re admitting just 100.
I asked the professor that´d decide and send the letters, he said he might send the first batch this week and then the last one, next week. He actually is our current dean and very very busy, he also got 2 of our courses to mark and all. So trust me, delay is possible, but just stay calm and positive ok.

Suffice to say that I told them about the urgency of the admission letter, as the nearest interview dates are being booked already. So to avoid late drama and stories that touch, make they do sharp sharp.

I hope this calms all your nerves and nips down. grin smiley

Thanks for the swift reply. I'm so grateful. Please if I am applying to 3 schools, do I have to certify my documents and make photocopies or do I certify each set of documents I'm sending to each school?

certify each document. If it's 10 schools, you'd 10 times for every document.

Also, note that you're only certifying a photocopied document, just to authenticate it.

Frohe neues Jahr alles

Let the admission letters start rolling in ok cool

Hi bro. I applied to DIT for mechatronics and cyber-physical systems too. Still waiting to hear from them. Got an admission from another school today but not sure I will be able to meet all their criteria before the deadline for enrollment. Also the course in DIT is my first choice and I have had interests in Cyber-physical systems for about a year now. Would like to ask you a few questions privately if you don't mind.

Sorry I mind you ask privately, ask here OK.

Hi bro. I have a couple of questions for you.

1. Does the university accept English as a medium in place of English test.

2 Can a Mech engr apply for the mechatronics program.

3. Does the uni have it's own application portal different from uniassist.

Hi

1. Yes they do, although I did IELTS in my own time and GRE to boost my application profile. But that was way before I started applying to any school.

2. Sure. I read mechanical engineering. And I'm here. Infact a high percentage of us in class read mechanical engineering

3. You apply directly to the school, no need for uni-assist for this course.

hi, I have no idea if it means you'd be admitted, but wat I do know is acing these tests gives you an edge and puts you in pole position for your admission.
