ghowkay:
Hello.. Thanks for the reply...I'm planning to take the TOEFL exam I just wanted to be sure there wasn't something else that could replace it you know the exam isn't that cheap

Brov, No skool waiv English langue Proficiency, one way or the other, however it depends on the requirements, In most cases Toefl and Ielts exam are for applicant from Non English speaking countries, but some skools still Request for the TOEFL,Ielts Regardless, it now depends on whether it is mandated or not. Some will tell u that if u have been taught in English from your previous institution, then you have to Provide Language of Instruction from your skool, signed by Registrar.

Nerressa:
how do I know the schools that don't require TOEFl/Ielts?
I already went through the site, the schools I selected and started application with said TOEFL/ielts is mandatory
that's why I'm back here

if you have an idea of those that don't require it help me out
don't send me bk to daad.de abeg

The thing is, Daad.de will still help, you just go through this process, if you see the school and Program of your choice, go to their website, look for the requirements, if not clarified enough, you can mail them. I know of Mannheim Universität, Humboldt, Freie, Potsdam, I think Justus Gessen. Just take your time and do what I told you.

Nerressa:
if you know any just help me out
and its not "bro" thank you

Lol okay my bad, u know there are lots of Skools out there, the best to do is to try filtered search. You can start with The Daad.de address u are given or Google search Masters portal.So long

Nerressa:
thank you sir for the response but are there other schools that don't require it?
its already too late to register for one now

There are lots of Skools that don't mandate TOEFL or whatsoever.. Do your research well brov..

Bros look for African shop and pick your poundo and soup ingredients.
Egusi 5€, dry fish 4€, crayfish 3€, star Maggi 2€, small Palm oil 3€, dry pepper 2€, Goat meat 5€ etc as your pocket reach you can buy more stuff.
To get substitute for Ugu leaf, go to Aldi, Netto and co get You can buy Blatt spinat 1.50€
For poundo you can either buy a tuber of Yam for 7€ or you buy the powdered one. To pound you can boil your yam soft and use a blender. It comes out likes its mortar you used.
If you can't cook, split the ingredients into 2 first. Make your money no waste o. You tube will guide you perfectly. I recommend this woman:
http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/soups/fried-egusi-soup.html
Copy the link and follow the video.
On a side note, I know some people who couldn't boil water in Naija but after introducing them to cooking here they have turned master chefs

This is a very harsh advice. Too expensive!

ohakskid:
Yh tnx man buh must we certify our application form b4 sending?

Lol..no, just your certificates and transcripts needs authentication. Your Application form do not need to be certified!

Hello house, I am currently a Masters students [English] in Nigeria, soon to graduate. I intend to apply for PhD studies in Germany but I have some questions:

1. Is it true that PhD candidates don't pay tuition fees?
2. Must I learn to speak German?
3. What is the typical cost of accomodation like [in naira]?
4. Can I work as a teaching assistant or lecturer while undertaking my PhD research?
5. Is it easy to get a visa for PhD studies?
6. How much is flight fee to Germany [cheapest range]
7. Are there academic opportunities for PhD holders ?
8. What are the salient factors I must take into consideration?
9. How much do I need to survive on a monthly basis as a PhD student?
10. Do I need ielts or toefl or gre and those other exams since I read English?

Please do well to tell me anything I haven't asked already. I know the questions are many. You don't have to answer all, just tell me the one you have an authoritative idea on. I really appreciate!


Thanks!

No 1, Generally most public skools in Germany are tuition free, irrespective of the degree.
No 2, depends if the course is English taught or German taught. If English you don't need German, but is necessary you learn it for easy transition and opportunities.
No 3, like €500-600 montly, google is your friend, check the exchange rate.depends on the location.
No4. Make contacts with the skool u want to apply to.
No5, nobody can tell u that, package well, pray and hope for the best. Most ESP, u need like 2M in ur Blocked Acc, without that and sponsor in Germany, ur chances are as low as .....
No 6. I can't answer that.
No 7. contact the skool.
No 8. ........
No 9. Depends on ur spending.
No 10. Some skools manadate it, while others will request for letter of proficiency from your Univeristy.

NB..Make sure u have good grades while you can.

I wish you the best!

ohakskid:
@jaymich, that's 3 different signed application with just one set of ur certified doc inside one envelope,right?
Secndly are they gona charge per application or the 70€ covers every even if you Wana apply in 6 differnt skulss/courses. Tnx n sorry if toopic has been treated before.

Concerning your first question, it's Yes, just certify ur documents along with your application forms.

The €75 applies to your first application only. The rest will be €15 each.For example, if you want to apply to four different skools, your payment will be as follow, €75, €15, €15, €15. Hope this helps!

So long!

jofo:
Hello house.......... Please pardon me if my questions have been treated earlier am just a bit confused. Theses are my questions:

1. Do i need to fill just one uni-assist online form to cover all the schools am applying to?
2. In sending documents to uni-assist do i need to package just one set of documents for all the schools am applying to through them?

Your kind response will be appreciated.

Your no 1 question is No. Different schools with different application form, you need to submit each application, signed and send to Uni Assist. For example. If you want to apply to three skools, then u will have to submit three different signed application to Uniassist.

No 2. The answer is yes. One set of documents will suffice for the applications.

oothoney:
Just an Info

For guys that want to post their documents to Uni-assist or schools in Germany..UPS presently offering discount now and it cost like N 9300 to post now...take two days i.e if you post on monday, will be delivered wednessday

DHL is 9200, for academic documents.

SAMUELS3:
Good day to you all.

Please is CGPA - 3.27/5.00 above average in german scale?

The minimum is 3.0 Nigeria GPA which equivalents to 2.5 in Germany Grading

LGDON:
You mean high court has official seal and they refuse to help me

I just left river state judiciary now, they charged me 5 k per document

Wow 5k? That's deep. The normal standard fee should be 1k per docs

My people, I thank you for clarifying the differences and importance of Stamp and Seal. I just came back from the high Court for the seal. They collected 3k for 5 docs after plenty negotiation. Thanks y'all.

Femizi:
sorry please i need advice I am about to apply to rhine-waal university for a transfer to their international relations program but i don't have a proof of English proficiency. Do you think this would be a problem. And also my cgpa is 3.66/4.0. i need help convertingm it to the german system

Rhinewal does offer MA international Relations program?

undisputed25:
good day all, pls those who have used high courts for certification, like how much does it cost, I mean their charges

I did mine 200 naira per page

michlan:
Please, I'm sending two applications to uni assist with one set of document, can i put both application forms in a single envelope with one set of certified documents or i need to separate the aplication forms?

Everything should be in a single envelop

Intelligentdude:
Ohhh OK.Great.But did you submit your First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC)?
What is Germany grade point scale? Is it over 4 or 5?Because from their site,I am made to understand that applicants CGPA must be atleast 75% of their overall CGPA.

Most German skools accept a minimum 2.5 GPA scale..which is equivalent to Nigeira GPA of 3.0.

So long!

My people, when they talk about Seal and Stamped notarization, am kinda confused. I notarized my docs at the High Court, all I could see is High Court Stamp and signature, the Seal aspect, I really can't see anything like that. Please I need more light on this. Thanks

I submitted three Applications on Uni assist online, and they sent me a message, charging me for only €90 instead of €105. When I logged in on dere portal, I saw one application with €0 on it..anybody have idea about this?

thefacelessguy:
Yes I did Boss.

Thank you for reaching out. I actually have certified all of my documents. My issue basically is
(a) I earlier applied only to a school and got reject; Now I want to apply to any other school that still have the admission for Winter on before it's closed. I hope it's not too late
(b) I don't want to have to send hard copy documents again with another 12k until I'm quite sure the admission is secured. I'd prefer schools with online application before final sending of hard copies.

Do you know any that fall into this category??

Danke Bruder!

Did you use DHL? What did u spend 12k on

Eke40seven:
Yes, and that's why I will show all the scores and different criteria to analyse because what A is looking for is different from B. In life you need information to make good decisions.
A may not even care about the language you are talking about but have a job waiting while he/she returns and don't care about jobs while B may be crippled and do not have other means to extend if he/she is given only 1 year, to that person, what do you think might be important? That's the point where I am coming from, if your city is not mentioned it wouldn't stop any from coming at all neither will it stop those in your city from progressing as well.
I have seen and interacted with people over the years and most wish they had better information before making a decision.
I am sure before you chose Germany, you must have analysed a number of countries based on merits and demerits and you based your choice on what you have.

Its just a shame that this thread that was buzzing last year is empty now from all the old guys, it happens over and over every year that you don't get to hear from most, but I do still talk to a handful and I have an idea of what life is like out there.
It also shows the kind of people Nigerians are, you take and never give back. You get watered but will never water. People on this thread becomes "those people", but one forget when their vigils were made here, If not not for that, people here would be better informed.
But that's just my " by the side" rant.

Thanks for your kind gesture. Please we need more information how life is out there and concerning jobs for those that dont know German like me. Information is Power!

JuneFirst:
5.1 CGPA?

Lol

TheBae:
It says "Second Class, Upper Division, or 4 on a 5-point scale."

That's contradictory, this is simple logic, if it's just a second class upper requested, why would they talk about CGPA of 4.5/5 scale? It definitely means they barely accept a weak 2" 1
