Just so you know!

The 2.5 you see on masters portal is according to German grading system. Your 2.4 Cgpa is equivalent to 2.95 when converted to the German grading system.

Which to my understanding falls way short for masters admission in Germany.

Work experience is usually more potent for BSc admission. One may be admitted for a BSc program just by a good work related to the field of study even if the person doesn't meet the UEQ.

But for masters ur undergraduate academic credential is more virile than any other considerations. Masters is very competitive and tricky as most international students come to Germany to do masters and the way they filter is by CGPA first..

But it can do no harm in trying. Just package ur application and hope for good news
Brother, I dnt really understand your grading formula?

Please throw more light. Thanks

@Mrbigman2, getting admission is left to schools. I advise you package your app with your work experience and send to many schools thereby spreading your net. Write good motivation letter citing your work experience.

I doubt someone with student visa can sponsor you. Better he funds your blocked account.

You can see the docs requirements from each school's webpage. Get your transcript ready sha. Summer app starts Oct-Nov. Search for schools with daad.de
Thanks much. I feel motivated already

You need go through daad.com or studyportal
Com, to look for a univeristy in Germany, once you've gotten the admission the university will put you through the visa applications process ...better still study the Germany link on Nairaland....all said you'll need the following documentation to process your admission:

International Passport
IELTS result "we cld prepare u fr the test"
Official university transcript
Motivational letter (letter of purpose)
Admission Fee
You fill online application form
Print it out and send with the required documents to the university's given address......wait for the uni response

While waiting....prepare yourself for interview because some school do conduct interviews....

Lastly you'll be required to.open a block account in a german bank with a balance of 8700Euros...all info will be given at the german embassy....
Thanks bro. I have a 3rd class but have 3 years work experience in relevant field, what are my chances of getting admitted into any university of my choice?
TravelRe: General German Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Mrbigman2: 2:19am On Sep 12, 2016
Good day people.

Please I need help and contributions and advise.

I want to run a masters degree in Germany, I studied geology and I graduated with a 3rd class.
But I have a 3 years work experience in the oil and gas industry.

I happen to have course mates who have completed dia Msc in freiberg and are working and some just went over last winter.

My fears re if I would get a school dat will accept me cos I have been going through the masterportal and all I see is 2.5 while my point is 2.4 or so.

This my guy dia told me dat I should not worry, dat I can't come now till next summer dat I should get my transcript ready by month end we'll start process and I shouldn't worry about money.
I have read these page from part 1 till here though I dnt touch all pages.


My questions are the following:

Can I get admitted into any institute to study geoscience or petroleum related since I am good in d field now?

ii. Can someone with a student visa send an invitation to waive off the money to be paid?

iii. Please what re the necessary documents I need? Because dis guy in question is super busy working all day and night dat he dnt even pick his call nor respond to whatsapp messages easily to tell me.
iv. Please wen dose summer application starts?
Thanks people.

InvestmentRunning A Successful Business In Nigeria: My Experience* *by Gabriel Ogbechie* by Mrbigman2(op): 3:46pm On Aug 22, 2016
I gained from this article that's the essence for sharing... So, take time to read,
*RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN NIGERIA: MY EXPERIENCE*

*By Gabriel Ogbechie*

From theyesng.com

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Gabriel Ogbechie, I am the Managing Director of Rainoil Limited. Rainoil Limited is a company playing in the downstream sector of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. We’ve been in existence for about 19 years. The title of our lecture today is RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN NIGERIA: My Experience. So, essentially, we will be talking about running a business in this country from my own point of view. I am essentially going to share my own experience; it’s an experience that has worked, but I don’t want to delude myself by saying that is the only way through which it works. But let us learn from my own experience and see what we can get out of it.

I attended the University of Benin. I left the university in 1987. I took a degree in Engineering, I did my Youth Service in Kano, 1987-88. I worked briefly in Kano, then came to Lagos and joined the company called Pricewater House. I was in Pricewater House up until 1992, then I joined another oil company called Ascon Oil Limited. I was on a fixed salary of N30,000 a month. And I asked myself one very simple question: ‘Gabriel, what else can you do to make N30,000 a month?’ I asked myself that question as I believed then and I still believe today that anything you can do to make your salary can take the place of your job. If you are working in an organization; let’s say a bank and they are paying you N200,000 a month. Essentially, what they are saying is give us your time from 8-5, perform these duties and we will give you N200,000 at the end of the month. Anything you can do to make that N200,000 can take the place of your work. So, I asked myself that question: ‘Gabriel, what else can you do to make N30,000 a month?’ And I said if I could sell one truck of diesel, I will make one naira per litre and a truck of diesel is 30,000 litres. If I am to sell a truck of diesel and make one naira per litre margin, I will make N30,000, which was my salary. A truck of diesel, 92,93,94, was selling for N300,000. We were buying it for nine naira per litre and selling it for ten naira per litre making a one naira per litre margin. So, I said if I could sell a truck of diesel, I will make one naira per litre, which was N30,000. So, I set out to raise N300,000. But first things first, I needed to incorporate a company. So, 1994, I remember that my wife and I went to meet a friend who is a pastor and lawyer. We went to their house one evening and we started bandying names around. ‘Gabriel, why don’t you call it Gab Oil, why don’t you call it this oil, that oil and my friend said Gabriel, you know Rain stands for blessing, so why don’t we call it Rain Oil and I said you know what, you are right, but then instead of Rain Oil, we are going to merge the two together to make one word, Rainoil Limited, and that was how Rainoil Limited, was incorporated in November 1994. I got my certificate of incorporation, put it in the drawer and I called it step 1.

Remember, I had a hypothesis. The hypothesis was that if I could sell a truck of diesel in a month, I will make N30,000. So, I set out to raise N300,000. I didn’t have the money, I wrote proposals, I went to those who I knew had the money. I was so sure that it was going to work, but all I heard was come here today, come here tomorrow. Stories!

So, I learnt my first lesson: people rarely give money to those who don’t have. Do I have a witness in the house? (All: Yeah)

My office was in Isolo, Ire Akari Estate Road and I had a stockbroker who was on Bank Anthony Way in Ikeja. With as little as N2,000 in my pocket, I will drive from Isolo to Ikeja, meet my stock broker and say buy me 1000 units of First Bank; 1500, I will drive to Ikeja and tell him to buy me 800 units of Nigerian Breweries. By 1996, I was getting frustrated, I couldn’t raise the N300,000. One evening, I brought out my capital market file and I started itemizing all the stocks one by one: 1000 units of 7UP at 70k per share, N7000;, 2000 units of First Bank at N6 per share, N12,000; I itemized the stocks; it went into 2 pages. When I summed it up, I was surprised, it came to N497,000. I was shocked. Those were the days of shares certificates, not these days of CSCS. I gathered the shares certificates, took them back to the same stockbroker, he verified the ones he could verify, sold the ones he could sell and at the end of the day, I had my N300,000.
