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?

Wow

You don't need an agent for Germany. What's you challenge?

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 . 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 want to ask pls. My appointment should be out this month by God grace, but classes starts September, my question is. If I go for appointment by march will I be asked to book my flight during that time or I will wait till my resumption time. Second question is. Will my visa be issued before that September or till my resumption time. Pls I need clarification.

Please how did you go about your admission, I intend to study in Germany, BSc in Comp. Science here in Nigeria.

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?
