University of Siegen, Hamburg and Darmstadt are open. FAU will close some winter applications this month. Use daad.de to search. Most opened this month, and a lot will open next month too
Thanks

Don't believe that especially when I saw Oyo..

There is no way Oyo won't be able to pay..

Same as akwa ibom, delta
Oyo may even be generating more revenue than Enugu, but i think population is a major factor.

Why are you interested in private schools? Block account is €11,208, and you must pay €11,000 for one year of tuition before your interview date. That's a total of €23k for just one year when there's 100s of public schools with semester fee of just €300.

That's over 40m Naira grin

If you're fully endowed and have the money to spray, sure, but honestly, it's not worth it. That's why embassy mandates you pay one year tuition.
I have searched many schools in that Daad but they offer their course in German language (computer science) MSc.

Please, do you know schools that offer in English language so that i can check on them direct?

A wrapped of Akpu cost One hundred Naira. The same wrapped Akpu cost N1687 in Europe.
Cars costs 20-50k Euros in Europe.

The same cars are sold for 30-40 million naira in Nigeria.

Why should we be buying car in millions?
Europe are buying it way too cheaper, just ordinary 20-50k.

Hi,

It's best you read through this thread. I know its a lot, but its what I did when I started my journey. I didn't use any agents & got most of my info from here. Honestly, getting admission isn't the issue, it's securing a visa interview appointment at the embassy. If you recently graduated with a first-class (not sure about 2:1), you will have better chances at Category-A. Otherwise, waiting times for Category-B are taking up to 18 months or thereabouts.

Search for your studies at daad.de or 'uni-assist website'. Ensure your program is in English 100% to avoid wahala. Also, make research on the school or town in question. Where you reside here sometimes determines your quality of life as an immigrant. Goodluck.
Thanks for the information Bro.
18 months is a lot for someone that is seeking to start in 2024 Winter semester.
What if i get the admission and don't get to meet up with the Visa interview appointment, would the admission be voided?

As for research on town, i tend to Google the cities the Universities on Daad.de shows me, as to know if its a town or City, and their population also.

I feel that cities would give better opportunities than towns, i don't know if my feelings are actually valid?

As for research on the school, i don't know the aspect i should concentrate on, since i believe foreign schools are somewhat standard on a general scale.

I didn't graduate with a first class, and i don't know if the wait is worth it for a visa interview, or for me to seek admission in UK or another country altogether.

The joy in my heart knows no bound.. to know that they are already in June and I booked July 14th makes me happy. After the long wait I will be giving appointment very soon. I still have two admission intact, one gave me a new admission offer letter December for 2024/2025 why the other admission was deferred.
Howfr bro, please how did you go about applying for admission for your school in Germany?
Since you have already gotten admission, please can you give me ideas on how you applied, as to cut my admission seeking wandering short.

I've been moving from page to page online.

For someone that wants Winter Semester, can he apply now?

I'm not seeing the option at Uni-assist, only summer semester.

Lol, it will be 19monthd ++, but you can shortened it to weeks if you have a scholarship. That way, you'll get a date in 4 weeks
Please do You know the requirements for scholarship?
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by Jandminded: 8:57am On Feb 11, 2024
Hannania:
If you have a first class in the last two years, then you'll get a date for interview in four weeks. If not, you'll have to wait 19+ months to get a date for interview for Germany. Almost all public schools are free in Germany but for one state which charges €1500 per semester. You'll need a block account of €11,208 euros to be "blocked" in a German account, then you'll be issued €934 monthly from it when you arrive in Germany. Use www.daad.de for search for schools.

For UK, you can check the UK thread. But I'll advice you to have 70% of your tuition paid, and living expenses for at least 6 months because getting jobs for pay tuition in UK is now fairytale, unless you're going with a dependant on a research based MSC. Even at that, get your tuition.
I didn't graduate with a first class though, 2.2 grade.

So the interview would now require 30 months if at all? grin

Wow

Good morning, please my father has told me to seek admission in Germany or Uk, so that by September i may be able to start.

But I'm starting with Germany.

I have been wandering the internet since yesterday, but haven't gotten a clear idea on where to start from.

I did computer science, I'm into IT, so would most likely thread that part as my study program.

Please do you know a school or something usefull i can start with?

Hello,

Life is fine. Cost of living has risen but that's a global problem. Weather on average isn't amazing but Summer and spring is glorious. Bureaucracy would drive you crazy sometimes but we can endure. Hardwork does pay especially if you understand the law of the land. And learning German improves your quality of life ten-folds. Salary here is low compared to the US & the taxes are higher here too. Though cost of living is lower in Germany and the health insurance system is awesome.

Getting jobs as an international student isn't hard. Depends on the type of job. inside a warehouse like Amazon etc. can be done within a short time but office jobs may be harder to get without German language skills. Unless you're in IT, there english can help you land nice office jobs. Internships are available as well. Sometimes, the faculty may pair with institutes and one can take advantage of those.

Germans are not the friendliest people; know this and know peace smiley . Their culture can be cold and direct. They're hard to crack into as friends but once you're in, they're amazing and will defend you to the core. In big cities like Hamburg, Koln, Berlin etc. you will find nearly all nationalities. SO you can make friends with anyone and find your tribe.

Housing can be tough depending on the city. In the bigger cities there is lots of competition for housing so folks may live an hour or more away from the center. some could get lucky and find something within the city in a nice area. depends on luck, networking etc. Also if you have a high budget, getting a house is quicker.

Wish you good luck!
I admire the way you responded to the guy.

Please I'm done with computer science in Nigeria.
I intend to study in Germany or UK, Germany as first choice. On or before September this year.

But I've just been wandering online, but decided to use nairaland to get information.

Please do you know where i can start? Any info or hint.

I'm into IT.

I did computer science, seeking admission in Germany but don't about the schools there.

I already know they require students to pay money into an account, of which the Student wouldn't have access to withdraw it, untill they start schooling in Germany.

I'm also contemplating UK or any other country, any useful information please?
