Hello house, this is very urgent, crucial and needs clarity. Somebody told me that going to Germany for undergraduate studies(study visa) will not allow me to work(you know how it is in Naija settings where an undergraduate can't combine study n work together). He said, this is a general occurrence in Europe as well. I want to know how true this is? If i am admitted to a German University, can i STUDY and WORK at the same time? Thanks in anticipation

Please who submitted passport and health insurance last week and still expecting to hear from the embassy?

Good day house, I have been quite busy lately so I want to use this opportunity to congratulate all those that got their A.M and also I wanna drop a suggestion that is if it does not exist already, I think it will really be nice if there is like a THREAD or WHATS-APP group or both for each of the 16 states in DE so that those already in those states can actually interact which each other, exchange ideas and also help each other in different aspects IF POSSIBLE, so that also those who just got their A.M can locate the particular THREAD or WHATS-APP group of the state he or she is going to so that things will not be too difficult for the individual too settle down. My Nigerian Brothers here made it quite easy for me to settle down. So its just a suggestion if it is fine by majority then maybe I can open one for my state while others can open one for their respective states also and it should just be one group per state to avoid confusion. That is my suggestion and its open to the house for their opinion.

Danke

Good evening everyone. Whaooo, just noticed the Part 5 is closed and amazed to see you guys are on Page 79/80 on this Part 6. Congratulations and I wish you guys including myself the very best and I pray all efforts to achieve goals will never be in vain.

Congratulations to those who have their Visum or Visa and to the rest in line, yours too ll come. I was once like you too so calm down. Na turn by turn.

From my church mind, right from Part 5, I noticed someone has been enquiring about accommodation/ general information in Gießen or Giessen ( which ever way you prefer to call It ), I asked the fellow to PM me, he refused. Later I asked when he's coming and what he intends to study, no response. I'm not God but I ll just put my help in my pocket as you have clearly ignored.

Sometimes, when something is offered to us on a platter of Gold, it is ignored and disregarded. Guys, it got bad for me at a point that I slept in the rail station, in open cold coz I had no where to turn to. Just surprised you're stressing yourself on finding help when it was offered to you FREELY at zero cost, if it was not offered to you, that's another case.

Its more easier to get Admission and getting a Job than getting accommodation in Germany!!! Even many of those who have accommodation will not even bother to give you a listening ear nor a open arm or try to help you or offer you a chance to live with them just for a little while. I'm talking of fellow Nigerians. That's what I experienced, very ugly experience.

Going forward, lets all learn to appreciate those who give information and offer support and assistance to us and we should never take it for granted. The information shared here on Nairaland, you guys can't get it anywhere Freely and more detailed. So lets appreciate those who comes here to drop a hint or two for the wellbeing of others in this Race.

Nobody knows it all, you need people to as well guide you even when you get here especially in area of Information or "OT" as we dey call am. For instance, when I came here, I thought I was buying something cheap only to find out that I was buying it 6x - 8x the normal price. Virtually, I was merely wasting highly valuable money!!! All because I had no information and nobody to guide me on where to buy and where not to buy.

Never feel you don't need information, please you ll need it and regard those you ll meet here as Boss. Boss because they have more information than you do if you like it or not. Even those I'm older in Age, I regard them as Boss because they possess more information than I do.
At it all, I wish everyone the Best now and in the Future.

Goodnight

Good day all!
I hope you are all doing well with your school and visa applications.... I pray that all your heart desires will be granted!

Do your applications very early because of competition.

And to the people coming to Munich this summer.

Don't hesitate to join the Nigerian scholars in Munich forums, (on WhatsApp if you are sure you have gotten your visa or about to) or on Facebook.. (I think that one is general). Keep in touch with people here already to guide you, probably pick you at the airport, etc.

Don't hesitate to PM me, if you are coming any time soon!

My statement is quoted below

"infact, if you are not going to Germany for any course related to STEM (Science Technology Engineering and mathematics) then you have a higher probability of not getting any job related to your course" .

I didn't say you have no probability of getting jobs without STEM course. Germany is a technology country and your chances of getting job is higher if you read STEM courses. It doesn't mean if you didn't read a STEM course, you won't get job. But your chances are higher if you have skills majority of the companies need. Like IT skills, engineering, scientific skills etc.
Unless your aim of coming to Germany is to run away from Nigeria hardship, coming here to do Msc in humanities, sociology, enthroplogy and all these useless courses might not readily give you job relevant to your course which guarantees blue card to stay over there after your Msc, that's my point.

Darrelah:
Hi guys, I have been very bothered to be honest. I got my AM jan 28th and posted my documents with passport and travel insurance to the embassy since last Wednesday, that’s 9 days now. No dispatch of my documents or any call from dhl. My brother’s own took only two days. I am so worried. I tried tracking and it says Nothing yet like it hasn’t been dispatched. My flight is for next weekend and I have made all arrangements. What could be the problem? Has there been cases like this?

Missmi:
Congrats to everyone getting their AMs. We hope everyone gets to post their interview and AM dates throughout the year and especially once Winter admissions start coming.

So, to learning Deutsch, since that is all I do these days. I've created a group called Nairaland on Duolingo for those who wanna learn German (which I assume is all of us since we need the language to succeed in Germany). To join you can use the code J3FX7M. Duolingo is free and this group is just a fun way to stay competitive as we learn the language, sort of an incentive to keep learning especially for those of not not yet in Deutschland. Joining is pretty straightforward with the code above. If you're confused, google 'how to join a club on Duolingo'.

Ps: 30 days into using the app, I can already form quite a few sentences and have short conversations. As someone said, you have a huge advantage learning the language or at least becoming farmiliar with it before you arrive the country. Happy Learning!

Guys, I paid my uniassist fee through someone in Germany on Tuesday and uptil now it has not been confirmed by uni-assist. I have sent them mail through their website with the proof two times yet no response.

I was skeptical about paying this fee initially because I was was expecting admission decision from other schools but I still went I ahead to pay because I didn't want to take chances.

Now I am worried...



Don't worry, you will be notified by uni-assit and before then you can log-in on your application and check your status it would have reflected. It take like 2 to 3 days for you to receive mail directly from uni-assist

If the person truly paid for you, you will surely be notified by uni-assit. Just chill.i paid mine through a contact in Germany too and it took few days for them to notify me. Paying for your handling fee is the best thing to do. No matter if you have not heard from the school. You can still use the fee to process another admission, if the school gave you a negative answer. I wish you luck ahead
