Its a pure lie , I flew with Turkish Airline on the 24 of September to Hamburg with one way ticket and no issues at all,, go ahead friend , there is nothing to fear about.. safe journey and welcome to Deutchland ..

@Negro1986
It's not a lie please. Just because you were not affected or stopped by those aimless people does not mean it's not true. Similar issues happened

to 2 people that I know this same week.

So to those of you, who wish to fly Turkish Airline please make sure you go to their stand/Office at the Airport about 1 - 2 hours earlier before boarding and ask them if there would be any issue with buying a One way Ticket or profer a possible solution to avoid been harassed.

Hello House,

I received 3 admissions for MSC program for the winter semester 2017 but lost the 3 due to German embassy here in NG not booking student visa interview date( totally booked out) and I pleaded to these school for deferment of admission into the summer semester 2018. 2 refused and one deferred and has issued another admission letter for the summer semester 2018 to me, I further contacted the German embassy yet again on Monday with the new letter of admission, block account and front page of my IP. Till now, am yet to get a response from them and kinda scared whether I have contacted them too early. Please, one should advice. What do I do?

Sam sam

You applied too early.

Till next month ending or Early November before they can start accepting Summer Visa Applications.

So let your mind be at rest.

henriq2:
This journey we started since January this year has come to the final stage and things are about falling apart after my Visa interview.

I really need help at this stage (just crying out loud)

@henriq2
What's the issue? And I pray things will never fall apart for you.

Keep your self positive, no matter the challenges.

Calm down abeg.

Which course did you want to study? You should have up to 2 - 3 Courses in mind, so that if at all one of your courses is not available the other

ones will.

Also check daad.de very well. Yuo should get whatever courses you are looking for.

I am so sorry if I end up posting this as a reply or a quote...

I've been following this thread right from part2 since May 2016, and i must say i have really got all my questions answered just from reading every single page. This is my first post.

I got my admission for winter2016 SEMESTER at RWTH University Aachen last year. I was so excited, went for my visa appointment 5th July 2016, the visa interview went well.
Unfortunately when i was ready to fund my blocked account forex started going up, the more I struggled to fine money the higher it got. After exploring all other options to fund I ended up withdrawing my visa application to avoid any negative report on my file.

It was heart breaking to see all the hard work,time I invested during the application and visa process fade before my eyes. But I had to pick myself up and start preparing for winter2017.

TESTIMONY

Got admitted(Same school /course) = 13th June 2017
Appointment date = 24th August 2017
Funding = funded before my interview
Am mail = 21th September 2017

I will like to appreciate everyone that has ever answered questions, you are helping more people than you can ever imagine. And for those that couldt get vosa appointment for winter2017, don't give up!!!

Great News.

Go and Succeed.

Hello Good People.

I need a well-grounded international student, particularly, a well experienced German resident who knows about the nature of the country's economical space candid advise, to kindly let me out of my confused state and shed light on some confronting issues that seems gloomy to me so I can set my priority right just to aid my decision making process. Here goes,

I'm a single guy of 32yrs old, a graduate of Unilag since 2013, I'm currently out of job, but I feed from hand to mouth based on the skills I acquired which literarily is my basic means of survival since I opted out of my banking job in 2014. In the process, I lost my mum to a terminal disease during this period due to health issues late last year. I've been in business before but it collapsed due to change in government policies and I lost a whooping sum of over N2.1ml...now, a very rare fortune is about to smile at me yet again and I do not wish to experience another form of such dilemma never again as I fear the present day Nigerian society with so many economic and social vices bedevilling her at the moment, hence...i had to consider the probability of reinvesting amongst these woes and also looking back, I dont want to experience such a downfall again....it's been so tough all along(chai! man pikin don suffer).

I stumbled on this thread and the Canadian thread some months ago, but my spirit lies herein...coupled with the fact that the Canadian student visa issuance is a thug of war and the probability of getting one is going to be slim based on my own status, since then...I've been a silent observer and an ardent follower of this thread while I was trying to research on a legal escape route out of this country to go hustle elsewhere in a more saner clime to make me become a better version of myself before somebody runs psycho, having gone thru this thread, I must say that I'm "wowed and amazed" by what I've read so far, down to the success stories of quite a number of people that have made it through and I sincerely wish to become part of such a success too if all my fears and confusion could be properly addressed to a reasonable level of desirable content, so based on this I intend to further obtain a Master's degree in my field of study with serious determination in order to push my life forward from my present condition. Now to the issue;


Neccki, Jigba, Honourableseyi, eke40seven, Mr big man.
Thanks.

1. My discipline bothers on management course "Business Administration" to be precise, considering the west is so inclined with science and technology, what relevance does my course of study possess in landing me a good and satisfying job o'er there after school.

Thank God you know that the West is so inclined with Science & Tech. So you too should tie your Discipline to Science & Tech. You can

search for courses like Business Informatics, Management & Engineering, Business Process Management or Business Analytics. All these

courses have Tech tied to them.

2. I'm seriously bothered about my age, to even think of applying for winter next year or summer the following year due to financial constraints for now, but would be assuredly ready by late next year.
What do you think my fate would be after graduation in landing a good job and not just anyhow job bearing in mind I'd be 35-36yrs on completion ?

For you to get a good job after studies, you have to get Good Grades. Have some Technical skills set, and Speak

Fluent German.

As for your Age enn, there are a lot of people older than you are in this forum. Germans don't care about your age and age is not a barrier

so far you have what it takes.

3. What career paths are available for a Master's degree holder in management course other than a science and techs graduates in that country, tho I have a skill as a professional painter(Interior and exterior buildings, Studio Sets etc).

I believe I have answered this under Q1.

4. In light of the above, if peradventure, there's a slim chance of making it through and landing a well paying job based on my status, what would you suggest I do to either improve myself or any thriving skills sellable over there that I can acquire before I move.

Seri usly?

Are you telling me you don't have a Career Plan by now?

Well, after your Masters, you would have been exposed to the Preferred Career path wanted in any Industry. So study first. biko

5. Lastly, which state would you suggest I settle in for affordability which would easily aid my progress while in school and after school.

Well for me, it's all about the job, living a comfortable life and helping my family back home, I'm sorry to have bored y'all with my long epistle, kindly take it laidat.

Check this one on google please.

BlessUp.

Plus proficiency in STATA, SPSS and Eviews can also be a little advantage

Very important contribution.

Bless You baba mi.....You go fear Analysis.

Chevronstaff:
Good evening everyone!
I intend applying to the following schools for Masters:

1.University of Mannheim,
BUsiness Informatics

2.University of Munster,
Information System

After rigorous search on DAAD,my choice for these schools is mainly due to the fact that the above courses is in line with my Bsc programme and the the programmes are offered in English...

I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS TO ASK:

1.How good are the cities of Mannheim and Munster? Which is a bigger city? Which is ideal for getting decent student jobs?

2.Is there anyone on nairaland schooling in either of the above universities??How good is the school in terms of standards?

3.Since my intend study course is entirely offered in English,is there any need to write any exam on German to test my proficiency in the language? I've have been learning german on youtube though!

CC:Eke40seven, neccki, UncleJudax,etc .. Tnks in anticipation

Q1. How good are the cities of Mannheim and Munster? Which is a bigger city? Which is ideal for getting decent student jobs?

IStandToBeCorrected

Both are Ideal for getting Student jobs. (depending on you skills set too)

Mannheim is the third-largest in the German state of Baden-Württemberg after Stuttgart and Karlsruhe with close to 400k Population.

But bcus it is in Baden-Württemberg, you will have to pay 1500€ every semester, which I assume you won't want to pay.

While Munster is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the west of Germany with about 300k Population.

And you are exempted from paying the 1500€.

Q2. Is there anyone on nairaland schooling in either of the above universities??How good is the school in terms of standards?

As for this, I don't know. Do the research yourself broda.

Q3. Since my intend study course is entirely offered in English,is there any need to write any exam on German to test my proficiency in

the language? I've have been learning german on youtube though!

Yes. There is need biko, If you need the better side of Germany(Hustling). BUT not compulsory since your studies are in English.

A plus for you, if you good in writing codes(Programming), be it Java, C# or Python & R for Data Analysis even MATLAB sef jawoo.

Admitted on 20th June.
Interviewed on 10th August.
AM dropped on 8th September.

All glory to God almighty.

I wanna start by advising all new comers to start reading from the beginning so you can get acquainted with all tricks and procedures involved. I started by reading some comments in part 2, I read all of part 3, then into part 4. I even read as I woke up for my interview that morning to be sure I learn anything new. The waiting period for my AM was not a good experience as I can not remember when last I fasted and prayed like that but its worth it.

Mr Bigman, Honourablesheyi et al really helped me and I so appreciate.

The slim young Frau shouted on me severally during my interview but now, behold my AM.

I am 100% ready to give back and I was greatly assisted here. PM me or write me via email at my signature, I will always assist as much as I can.

For those who just got Am, I used mansard insurance, its 22,696 or so for six months. Its about the best I can find.

God is great, I swear. lol

Congratulations.

Tanx for your reply. Sincerely I have gone through the link and have seen quite a couple of courses but I have a challenge in the application deadline time. Most of them seems to be on winter period even when I looking at January 2018.

Then apply for summer. Summer applications are now open in some universities. Summer usually opens around Sept/Oct. - Jan. And admissions

will be out by Feb/March.

Karch:

Okay... I get. The annoying part is that there are nice schools located within that region (Barden Württenberg)

I tell you. But who cares, when there are free ones.

Karch:

Hmm.. 1500euros per semester which is 6000euros for a master's program with four years duration. Well, it takes a determined mind to pull through.
I didn't even include the semester tickets and accommodation
Make person no grow grey hair overnight because of hustling o.

Lol.

No now.......I didn't even know that Stuttgart has included Tuition Fee. I am only talking as per Hustling Area.

Karch:

@neccki, Stuttgart
What about the tuition fee policy!!

Lol, That's true. Thanks

Buh you can still go and hustle in those areas during your semester break.

Lalaski001:


Please, do u hv an idea of the cost of using the different courier services?

Please, kindly give us the charges involved, so we can decide on which to go for.

Thanks.

The last time I used TNT it cost me 7,000. But a friend who recently used it said it's now 12,000. I stand to be corrected tho. And DHL

cost about 18k. Both TNT & DHL will deliver ur letter withing 3 working days.

But Nipost will not cost you more than 2k. But please only use Nipost if you are in Lagos. Precisely MM2 NAHCO Office it will take them at most

2 weeks while other branches could take a month.
