I'm about to start my Msc there, it's not tuition free. Only EU students get a subsidy and even then it's like 1k euros. For international students it's 18k + for a majority of schools.

It drives me crazy to see international students pay tuition fees in Germany. I mean, if your parent have the money, then fine, but you don’t have to pay. Also, studying in a private university or public one where you pay tuition doesn’t influence your career opportunities in any way.
I think the major reason why people for paid study programs in Germany is because they either do not have the patience or we’re not informed well.
I have helped many Nigerians who came to Germany via a private university to switch to a public one. It gives me joy to save them that trouble and the money.

Language barrier!

Not exactly true. It depends on what you’re aiming for, but for sure you can do so much in Germany without the German language.

AlwaysMotun:
Forex and crypto currency are perceived shady because of the people who come out here to make give false hopes to people and eventually cart away their hard earned monies... They act on the greed of people and they play smart on them.

Forex is a business and Investment and that's how I understand it to be... If it's a shady business, then the U.S. Stock market is also a scam... Don't forget the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft have their lives on it as well which determines their wortg/value as companies.

The basic truth is that Forex Traders think they can make millions over night, they think they can have their hands on this Holy Grail that will make them buy houses in Banana Island... �... That's far from the truth! Forex is a business and the plan you have for your business is what you should have for Forex too...

I think we need to start making people know the truth about this profession and how they can further prepare their minds coming in to the business... I say again, Forex is not a scam and it's never a scam.

What traders need is the right psychology and they will be good to go! Same as Crypto curry!

I didn’t get a chance express my gratitude for over two years. Thank you for the kind contribution.

I really love to study in Germany (Masters in Civil Engineering) but I heard the language is a barrier for people like me that doesn't learn language so fast
I remember during my service year in the east, spent close to a year and I hardly understand Igbo language. I can't even speak d most simplest word.
I wish I can learn German fast coz I'm really considering going there

You have nothing to worry about. All you need is that strong desire, which you already possess now.
Also, it’s not true that you need the German language to study for your M.Sc (Civil Engineering) in Germany. There are English master’s degree courses in that field offered tuition-free.
If you’d like to, here is where I guide people and we help find the right course for them in Germany and other EU countries

The Netherlands is not tuition free

You will find some tuition free universities in the Netherlands. Have you checked it before?

I was really sweating and had to take off my jacket.

CrownOfClay724:
Nice one.
I can imagine the sweat trickling down your back when they insisted on German.

Looking for where I can learn Arabic.
Don't want anyone to carry me handicap.

About Arabic, not sure where’s the best place to learn, but you can connect with people abroad on SETLINN. Maybe take a moment to check it out.

Thanks. Glad it was insightful.
I have a YouTube channel where I share my experience and those of other foreigners in Europe. Maybe you will find some valuable information there too.

nellyelitz:
This sounds good, a better route that can work faster if u are a good and talented baller.

True talk. You’re always at an advantage when you can speak multiple languages. Also, since the official language here is German, more opportunities are available in German.

juman:
Learn native language.

The best locations would be tuition-free destinations like Germany, the Netherlands, France, Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark) or low tuition locations like Poland and the Baltic countries.
Also, you need to keep the opportunities available for international students in mind. Not all the locations above have great opportunities.

Officialsetlinn:
Given that ASUU has been on strike for over 4 months now, so many persons would be looking at move abroad to study. So, which country do you think is the best for foreigners looking to study abroad?

Any country in Europe does it for me. Why? Public universities there are tuition free and the private ones are very affordable. Meanwhile, if you are looking to join a community where expats interact, connect and answer immigration questions, you may join here: https://setlinn.com/

The easiest way to achieve your football career dreams is to play in Europe.

Not everyone has the means and connection to play in Europe, and many people have fallen into the wrong hands.

However, there are some other ways for you to still achieve that dream. I got the following idea from interviewing people in Germany.

If you can, find a way to study in Europe, preferably in tuition-free locations like Germany, the Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries or cheap tuition locations like the Baltic countries, Poland, and Czech Republic. Once you are in Europe, you can go to the different football clubs or academies and request for a trial; it costs nothing, and they will be happy to let you play.

Before you do this, be sure to build your profile from home before coming to Europe, so you can make a good impression when given this trial.

So, stop wasting time trying to go through an agent from Nigeria or anywhere. Stop paying them heavily only to be disappointed. Do the Maths yourself; what do you need to study tuition-free in Germany, for example? Can you afford it? If yes, then let that be your means of coming to Europe. If you can't afford it, then look into scholarship options; there are many of them. You just need to find a legal way to get to Europe.

Once you are in Europe, bro/sis - you don't need anybody, at least not for the initial stage of getting yourself a trial. Most club managers will be happy to let you play because you are saving them the trouble of scouting - you are coming to them!

Do you have any other ideas?

Sure, always happy to help.

InfernoNig:


M.Sc Aerospace Engineering.

Which course would you like to study?

Germany offers a lot of opportunities for international students. So, you are definitely making the right decision.

InfernoNig:
Nice. I am hoping to study for my M.Sc in Germany soon. Good pointers from you. Thanks

That was me 4 years ago – after landing my first major job in Germany. And in no time I was travelling around Europe..... until the next opportunity came.... and then next, and the next....

I look fresh there, it was about a year after my postgraduate studies (M.Sc. Infection Biology, University of Lübeck). When I received the invite to the interview, I was super excited; positive, enthusiastic, confident……… and all optimistic feelings you can think about. I have had interviews before then, but they were all virtual, this was going to be the first physical interview.

You must have heard/read that you can work in Germany without the German language; that's true, so read on.

The job post was in English; Company’s website: in English; no option to even change it to German or other languages. My job application was sent in English; First feedback to the application sent in English; Invitation to interview was sent by the company in English! Wow! What more could I ask for? Although I could speak some German then, but having a job interview in English was way much better for me.

I could not ask for more – on top of the above, the offer was in Munich – one of the highest paying cities in Germany. Even if you will probably spend most of it on house rent and perhaps groceries, Munich is a beautiful city to leave in, so it’d all be good anyway.

I was so sure of getting the job and was already making accommodation plans. I prepared in the best ways possible – at least, I thought and rehearsed my speeches and possible answers to potential questions a million times. Since the interview would be in English (logically it should), I was confident in myself – actually, I was overconfident.

Anyways, just in case I had to talk to someone at the reception, I pocketed precisely enough German to get me across to the interview room (I thought to myself… lol ?). Well, things started changing slowly when I arrived a bit too early – 20 minutes before the time and was informed (by one of the interviewers, in German), to go and hang around for a while and come back just shortly before the interview time: Welcome to Germany – the land of precision! Being late is not accepted, coming too early praised is neither accepted.

I came back right in time as was asked to. To show good manners, I exchanged greetings with the interviewers (two of them) in German, hoping that’d be it (my pocketed German was already running out!!??). The first interviewer proceeded to introduce himself, and then the second, and then I did – all in German. And I thought to myself, ‘when will the real interview begin?’

The real interview continued as the first person started describing the company. I had to interrupt, to ask if the language of the interview is German: ‘Oh yes, it is. Didn’t you know that?’ He asked. I was like, ‘no! I did not expect it at all………’ I explained how every step so far in the application process was in English until now. The first tension in the meeting ensued – I was caught off guard and I started sweating in my nice suit! Lol, ? I laugh about it today, but not then.

To cut a long story short, we had some arguments on which language to interview in. Of course, they understood my points but wouldn’t accept it since it is a German company and most of the colleagues in the laboratory are native German speakers – there was hardly a chance that I would work in English. I should have thought about that earlier. In the end, we had a compromise – the interview was conducted in Denglisch! Heard that before?

That experience taught me that, you could never be over-prepared for anything. When you are taken by surprise and feel disappointed, let it be a lesson that’d propel you to the next level. I learned my lessons that day and sent all subsequent applications in German ONLY – thanks to the good friends that supported me then. If the communication turned out to be in English, that’s several pluses for me!

Amongst other things to learn, I sure did learn the following:

Be open to changes and if one way does not work, try another
You could never be too prepared – look deeper than the logical procedures
Prepare for the worst. If things go all Gucci, then you can call it luck!
Join an active study abroad community, ask questions and make meaningful contributions.
Keep expanding your network of professional friends, especially those abroad; you need them for their experience.

What experience have you had attending job interviews abroad?

Or do you have questions on how to prepare for a job interview abroad?

Share your thoughts/questions.

Well, you will miss the nice weather, at least compared to Europe, your family and friends.

Depending on where you are abroad, it may be quite lonely sometimes.

You will miss the spontaneous meet up with your friends, which you may currently be enjoying.....

You will miss our beloved Government, APC abi na PDP.... abi na EFCC...

It gives me serious concern to read (see) that Forex and cryptocurrency are labeled as ‚shady investment‘. So I’m wondering about two things:

1. How do you identify a true investment opportunity?

2. Why are Forex and cryptocurrency investments perceived as shady?

Think about that fact that there are reputable and well established companies selling business concepts based on the above ideas. So why the bias perception about them by some people?

Pls I want to know if the batch-C call-up letter is out in any University.
