She used her OND to get direct entry to university where she graduated from and using the BSc result for admission in Masters degree.

Champion100:
Would OND suffice? What of her HND?

Thanks bro.

DemigodZeus147:
She can certify and keep, in case it is needed. Like for me I certified my WAEC in case I get to need it in future.Time no be my friend, so going to the court just for a document certification, isn't fun.

Thanks @ DemigodZeus, does she need to certify her OND certificate? Though she applied with her BSc

DemigodZeus147:
She is good to go, high court Na high court regardless of state. But tell her to make sure they put the red seal, so the certification go fine for eye...

Good morning everyone, Pls my friend is already at the High Court Mararaba Nasarawa State though very close to Abuja to certify her documents. Please is she good to go cos I told her it can only be done in Maitama High Court according to what I have read so far as I haven't seen anyone certifying in other High Court on this thread residing in Abuja.

Urgent responses please so she doesn't waste her time and money there. Thanks

Deustchemann:

Has the school started winter application for the course?

Thanks alot badmus306 for the clarification, God bless our hustle . I really want to use the months before winter semester begins to learn German but there's none in Abuja that I know


quote author=badmus306 post=76531777]

I have a friend studying there, you can work while schooling but like people there will say "the language is the meal ticket", you will be open to alot of opportunities if u know the language.
I am a prospective student like you tho I'm learning the language [/quote]

Thanks badmus306, what about working while schooling cos I can't speak German? Do you stay in Germany or a prospective student like me?

badmus306:
University of Trier is a good school but after applying, you have to pay an application fee of 50€ before they process your application.

Legacy666:
Good morning all, please is anyone applying to Trier University or Schooling there already? I noticed no comments about the school like other Schools. Any information about student work and life generally in Trier? Just worried cos I seem to meet their requirements and I really want to study the MSc course there. Thanks

Please gurus in the house, attend to my questions. Thanks

vinlyreeks:

Good morning all, nice job we all doing here, may our efforts not be in vain.

1.Please my friend has a CGPA of 2.91 in Political Science, can she go for masters with it after German conversion?
2. I want to certify my documents in German embassy in Abuja but the link I used for appointment booking is showing Lagos. Please how do I go about it?

Thanks

Okay thanks, will check it out.

bl33d:
have you given a second thought to this course? ROADS TO DEMOCRACIES: HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE ON POLITICS AND CULTURE. @ the UNIVERSITY OF SIEGEN?

Ndydy:
Hello all,
Been a while I posted well life happens when you have school work and German language class to balance. So just decided to give an update FROM MY PERSPECTIVE about life in Berlin Germany. Please it's not for generalisation, it's my own opinion so do not attack my post. Instead share your own opinion and we would all learn.
1) Try to learn German in Nigeria its way cheaper... At least do your A1 and A2 in Nigeria if you can. For A1 alone I paid 490 Euro here in Berlin. So you can imagine compared to the price of Goethe institute in Nigeria.
2) When budgeting for accommodation please budget for deposit ( kinda like security deposit). It's usually 2 to 3 months rent at most. You get it back when you leave the accommodation in a good condition after your contract expires.
3) Start your accommodation search as soon as you possible once you have do e your interview . Don't hope on studentwerk the waiting list is 3 semesters. Use your contacts join groups on Facebook eg Berlin housing, flats in Berlin etc but remember there are loads of scammers and time wasters on the prowl.
4) Accommodation in Berlin is expensive but you can get cheaper accommodation in the outskirt of Berlin. If you don't mind travelling for over an hour to get to school you should consider it. Also keep in mind during winter and strike times you might have transportation challenges.
5) Anmeldung is important but getting an accommodation that offers Anmeldung is more important. This helps you avoid necessary stress of repeating the process when changing accommodation.
6) Read the fine lines before signing any contract eg internet , phone, gym, insurance and so on. Contracts are binding here and hard to get out of once they are signed. Try starting with flexible short term contracts.
7) Eating out is great but cooking saves you money so bring you properly packaged Nigerian foodstuff when you are coming to Germany.
Make sure you pay your ARD fees ( broadcasting licence) , you can run but you can't hide from them forever especially since they know where you are thanks to Anmeldung. It is compulsory and just one payment per apartment so always discuss this with your potential housemates.
9) Recycling is compulsory and not hard though Berlin is dirty sha but cleaner than Naija by far.
10) A lot of generous people in Berlin giving stuff for free please join Free your stuff Berlin on Facebook. Please take only what you need try minimalist living, no space for clutter here.
11) Free food is great and cheap food is also great download 2good2go app tells you where you can find restaurants and bakeries leftover food for very low prices around you. Here there is no make we freeze and warm am for customer tomorrow. Food is served fresh and daily in most places.
12) Berlin is very diverse you would meet all kinds and types of people. Be friendly, be polite and most of all MIND YOUR BUSINESS.Try not to stare, Berlin is very LGBTQ friendly so don't be shocked. They are humans like you and might be one of the kindest people you will ever meet.
13) To survive in Berlin you need money, so hustling is very welcomed . Please drop your cloak of proudness in Nigeria because here there is dignity in Labour. Without German your job options are a bit limited to mostly unskilled labour eg cleaning, delivery, serving etc. Though people have gotten very good jobs without German so keep applying and don't limit yourself.
14) There is a drug culture in Berlin which unfortunately alot of our black brodas are the people selling em on the streets and it's quite open. If it's your thing well suit ya self. If it ain't when they approach you smile nicely and say No and find your way.
15) There are stupid people everywhere even in Nigeria so try not to get defensive when someone hurls racial insults at you. No need in putting yourself in harms way because you are trying to defend your blackness. A smile and a God bless you or Thank you or good old ignoring them does the trick. Try not to grovel in the mud with the pig.
16) Police is your best friend anything happens pls report to the police. Documentation always wins in the end. You get robbed or you lost something important report to the police.
17) In Germany you do effective work , meaning 8 hrs work is 8 hrs of work. No pressing phone or chatting with colleagues during working hours save it for your break time.
18) PUNCTUALITY please always be punctual 15 mins early always works. Pls pls no African time.
19) Socialising is a bit tricky here but it's easier if you join social groups there are a lot on Facebook . Also Berlin has a lot of activities you can join groups for . Salsa, bouldering, painting, cooking, fitness etc Soo much to do here. Best way to make friends is to socialise via activity groups.
20) Germans are very straightforward and conservative so you know our tendency of having no boundaries doesn't fly with em. So be subtle in your socialisation before they call police on you or report you to HR.
21) Make use of your student discounts find out places that offer student discounts and use them to save money.
22) Keep your music low and conversations down. Sunday's are noise free days someplace you ain't allowed to vaccum or mow your lawns on Sunday.
23) African restaurant and shops are available just google you would find some there is a big Afro shop run by Indians called Punjabi store in Osloer str you would get some Nigerian stuff there even catfish.
24) School work and exams are usually packed so study hard to make good grades. Most times they don't like story story just go straight to the point where you answer questions.
25) Be nice to each other especially your fellow Nigerians and share information when you have it. Quit your hoarding info habit, don't bring it here. Asian people dominate in most places because they have a good information network and share with each other.

Hope this helps I might not be here again until sometime later. Till then keep striving and wishing you all the best in your endeavours.
Cheers Ndidi (female lol don't sir or guy me)

Nice write up babe, God bless our hustle. You just sort of clear most of my fears about Germany. Thanks for sharing, all d best.

Fabcol:
Am actually an Economics students but v seen some courses not actually international relations but I guess they related
FU Berlin- Global history
Marburg- international political economy
Kassel- political economy and development
Bayreuth-history and Economics
Marburg-peace and conflict

I studied Political Science with 3.4cgpa but most of this courses I saw prefers Economics and business administration.

For Marburg- international political economy is a course I wish to study but according to the website I will have to start in Texas University Dallas cos of my first degree (Pol-Sci) for a year and return to Germany for the remaining year to complete the course, thus having a double degree. But I don't really understand USA students visa stuff plus the kind of visa rejection is something else, then I don't have GRE part of requirements plus school fees e.t.c

Will follow up with Trier University- International Economics and public policy same as Goethe University.

Thank you.

Fabcol:

adeniyi2020:

Okay, Can you post the website, thank you.

DemigodZeus147:
Please which state are you from? If I am not getting it wrong, I think the location for interview is dependent on the state you are from.

@DemigodZeus147, what does the state am from got to do with academic documents certification and interview in German embassy for masters degree.
From the information I got via this trend I know interviews are mostly done in Lagos but want to know if German embassy in Abuja does it too which will be more easier for me since I stay in Abuja.
Thanks anyway for responding.

Legacy666:
