honourableseyi:
Where do you stay?

Lagos Surulere

Please who can recommend a good personal german tutor for me ?

vowsng:
i once had an encounter with that course, its nice and promising as there is no crowed yet in there, architecture is better but only with professionalism before you can earn a dime as there are many architects already, both professional and unprofe..... i will advice you take the surveying very seriously, maybe, write another jamb if you so desire...

Okay thanks for your advice

mikezuruki:
Google is your friend, check it out. Nothing guarantees you that you'll thrive after going for Architecture afterall. Personally, i'd advise you stick with S&I

Okay thanks but I've googled and i can't really find much about it,but why do you think i should stick with it

rawdpiper:
Some Lectures Have Started Like Fsc 115. But Nextweek Monday Which Is 9th Till The Friday/Saturday Of That Week Is Orientation Week. So There Can't Be Lectures.

Thanks

Guys please I'm faced with a dilemma
I wanted to study architecture but my school gave me surveying and geoinformatics but my problem is i do not know anything about it,I've never heard anything about it and I don't know where the course can take me in nigeria.
So should i continue with surveying and geoinformatics or should i write jamb again and switch back to architecture

Thank you

rawdpiper:
Have You Not Downloaded The Timetable?

Yes i have but i don't know the day we'll start lectures because im seeing conflicting information everywhere ,some people are saying 9th while some are saying it started last year when we were having final enrollment

Guys please I'm faced with a similar dilemma
I wanted to study architecture but my school gave me surveying and geoinformatics.
So should i continue with surveying and geoinformatics or should i write jamb again and switch back to architecture

Guys please when do lectures start for engineering students?

i used d sponsorship letter which my sponsor got frm d aliens office nd d embassy accepted it......also couple wit d fact dat my sponsor is a german citizen nd all dat, he helped to convince d embassy more nd dat he wud give dem any info or proof dey want....my sponsor actually did all d conviction nd writing to d embassy on my behalf while i send any necessary doc through my email

Please what were the accomplishments your sponsor was required to fufill?

honourableseyi:
That is not the only way someone can get visa with conditional admission. Though it takes the grace of God to pull through, but I have seen people rejected at the embassy with that type of admisson; but someone scale through this winter semester with a conditional admission letter from the school stating that she will first learn German for the first 6-8 months before the commencement of the of the program fully. She applied with O'level certificates.Though difficult with only few schools doing such and the need to convince embassy and allien office beyond the reasonable doubt during interview and also in the visa statement of purpose. It is doable with the grace of God. Shalom

My situation is similar to her situation but the school said that I'll do german for my first yearand then I'll cross over to the second year if i pass the DSH exam so i pray the visa would not be a problem

The geothe here only teach up to B2 and that's it so i don't know what they want me to do.

Andyc007:
Like I said, I found this out through research.

My take-away from it was that you get a student visa for a valid admission; & a student applicant visa for a conditional one.

Someone on this thread had a problem similar to yours. His studienkollen indicated in his admission letter that he will write an exam in Germany before being admitted fully

The German consulate refused to accept that as an admission letter.

I didn't follow up so I don't know how he went about it.

I am throwing this open to more experienced guys here to shed more light on this situation.


BTW, don't apply to just one uni...spread your tentacles & hope for the best.

Okay thanks,
But how am i supposed to learn up to C2 when the embassy won't allow me to go and do a language course in germany?

Andyc007:
If you have have been following this thread, you'd realize this has been discussed.

The chances are very slim especially for Nigerians. For language courses, you will be referred to Goethe.

If the conditional admission is dependent on say passing the German language exam, I will strongly recommended getting proficient & writing the exam here in Nigeria(Goethe Institute).

Are you sure about the conditional admission because the school I'm considering in germany said that they can give me conditional admission if i have up to B1(but I'll still learn up to B2 to play safe) and they'll teach me the remaining levels and prepare me for the DSH exam and thats because the geothe in Nigeria teach up to B2 and the requirements for most universities is C2 or TestDaf 4x4(which you can write with B2 but would be really difficult)

Oildichotomy:
You still don't get my post do you?

Read this caveat slowly and let-go trying to defend the government


I can't absolve them of any blame, they are heavily culpable in this regard

From my post which i believe you read,I'm not in support of that illiterate and his team(bunch of clowns)who refuse to find a way to move foward but prefer to play the blame game everytime, but the so called "excuses" you listed if analysed closely are actual facts not excuses.If you list some of the foolish excuses which this government has actually made then i won't question you because your post would make perfect sense.

Oildichotomy:
Don't you just like this government?
•GEJ damaged the economy
•Low Oil prices damaged the economy
•Niger Delta Militants damaged the economy
•Lack of Forex damaged the economy
•High cost of manufacturing damaged the economy
•Now Black market damaged the economy

The excuse and blame list from Buhari and his noise makers is growing in leaps and bounds except themselves of course,

I have a radical advice for them, they should all resign and allow the country to auto-pilot itself, not that any Nigerian is feeling the government effect anyways!

Don't all this things add up to it and they are not excuses but facts,even though buhari and his economic team got it wrong in so many aspects and policies but you cannot deny the facts you listed .

The only point that's debatable is the GEJ claim,GEJ can't take all the blame.All the past Nigerian presidents him and buhari inclusive should be blamed.

Read what you wrote again and think it through slowly please.

This is no argument,most of the private universities are more efficient,faster,more organized,better funded and better managed so the difference is clear in all aspects and all what the OP listed is just flawed .But don't get me wrong even though the type of university you attend would give you an edge but you guys shouldn't forget that it all boils down to the individual and not the school .

But in all the quality of education in Nigeria is ZERO,like i mean after all this argument we have no Nigerian university apart from UI (wheter public or whatever) in the Top 1000 universities in the world,so even though private unis are better than their public counterparts they are all still sh*t on the international stage and that's what COUNTS,whats the point of being the best in this always backward never foward third world country like the zoo we live in if you can't even compete internationally and this why people still send most of their Children to better universities abroad if they have the chance,that's why some lecturers in this universities send their children to better universities abroad and that's why most politicians send their children abroad.

And OP it's easier to enter the private universities because there is less competition which is mostly due to relatively high fees the students of the private universities are required to pay(which many Nigerians cannot afford so that's why so many consider public ) and not because they are all lazy or whatever.If schools like Babcock and CU and all what not were as cheap as public universities don't you think that the competition to get into them would be higher than that of the top public universities

Andyc007:
Please can you shed more light? Someone else had adviced me against studienkollege.

I don't mind sharing my Whatsapp by pm

There is no difference between the 100 LVL option and the studienkolleg in terms of Visa or application or anything.The only two advantages with the studienkolleg is that it helps you learn german in an academic environment and it also helps you to adapt to the german system of education which is quite different from the laid-back cookie cutter shit in Nigeria.

In my opinion studienkolleg is for you,If your language level is below C1 and your university in germany doesn't have the language programme e.g like the bridge to studies programme BTU cottbus offers,in which you are taught the language for a full academic year before proceeding with your desired course .

It's not really compulsory that you follow the studienkolleg route because i heard that it can be quite challenging(based on other people's experiences anyway i haven't been there) and getting admission into one them is another difficult task on it's own.Anyway if you feel that you can cope with all these then go ahead but if not just get your 100lvl certificate and C1 from geothe and you'll be okay.

If you have further partaining studies in germany always feel free to contact the international department of the university you are considering.

Thanks,im under surveying and geoinformatics engineering

rawdpiper:
Take The Four Along. And Your Documents From Home. And As For The Arrangement; The Screening Form, You Need Only The First Two Pages.
Also, The First Set Of Arranged Documents Should Contain, Coloured Screening Form, Coloured Post Utme Result, Coloured Admission Letter(the One That Is Watermarked With "for Instituition Use Only", Coloured Reference Letter. Then The Second, Third And Fourth Sets Should Contain The Photocopies Of The Above.

Okay thanks,should i staple everything from home or should i just wait and by the way what department are you under?

Hello House I'm new here. I have tried to read through the entire thread some vital information i Have received but im still riddled with questions. for a start.

1) Which comes first: Getting a blocked account before applying to schools or the other way.[b][/b]
2) I dont have the total sum of the money just 2m is there assistance or any other way I can meet up.

Thanks

As regards to question 1
Your application comes first and if you're successfully admitted into your university,you'll have to start your visa application online after you've applied for the visa you need to book an interview date and if you pass the interview process you'll be told to fund your blocked account(you can find more details about this on their website)

So basically its
School application>>>visa application>>>interview>>>blocked account/sponsorship letter

>>>>> means assuming the process is successful


As regards to question 2
If you are not financially capable to meet up with their demands on your own then you can look for a sponsor in Germany(he/she can be your uncle/friend/relative or whoever)who would then sign a sponsorship letter(you can find out more details about this on the german embassy's website)

N.B*
There are certain requirements that your sponsor must fufill before he/she can sign the sponsorship letter.I don't know all of them but i know that he/she must be a german citizen,must earn over 2500 euros(i'm not really sure about the amount but you can check online) and must have a clean criminal record.

That's all i know,If you require further assistance contact people on this thread or read through the thread again.

rawdpiper:
Take It Along Seperately. But Make Sure On Getting There, The First Thing To Do Is To Go And Meet The Registration Officer And Ask He/she On How To Do It. Don't Wait Until Its Your Turn. They Might Send You Back.

It is your school in Nigeria that will determine that. Check your transcript. It is always 5 and 1 though for minimum and maximum respectively. Shalom

Okay thanks,I'm just about start 100lvl so I'm trying to plan all this things early.Do you attend geothe ?

Abeg who knows the minimum passing grade and highest grade that Uni-Assist would use to evaluate my transcript.I mailed uniassist but they said that they cannot disclose such information .

honourableseyi:
Registration for 2017 starts by January 4th or there about. This table is for 2016 breakdown, but that of 2017 will be like this one but not in verbatim. Shalom
