Neyeko:
I just want to say that this is not even close to being true. I've gone to school in America, Canada and Germany. I processed all the admissions by myself. And I can tell you now that America has the most complicated restrictive process. Canada is simpler and Germany is the most straightforward. I started and finished my application within one week of the deadline. Got admission, booked my appointment, funded my account and did everything that needed to be done (without reading the almighty Nairaland thread that you are using to insult someone). You don't even know anything about the person and you have the gall to call them lazy? You need to get off your high horse. just because you read one thread on the internet you think you are more diligent than the person in question? You can help people without insulting them.

As for the scam. If I sell a loaf of bread for N50000 and my neighbor sells it for N50 and we bought it for N20 you will call that business shey?
Have you never heard of business ethics? There is a margin of profit that is acceptable, after that it becomes exploitation. It's because of people like you that this country is falling to pieces. You applaud 'smart' people that take advantage of others and call it 'business' then you cry when politicians make life hard for the common Nigerian.
Guess what, that's just 'business' too.
I want to understnd something. Lets analyze this situation. Your friend is in this forum as you said with access to Information and help from people here. Yet she decided to use an agent. The agent told her 300k for admission into Germany. She agreed to it, she didn’t consult anybody to know if the price range is reasonable. Now, she got admission which means the agent kept to his own side of agreement. The agent wants to get his full balance but she refused meanwhile they had an agreement. You are now calling the agent a scammer. Do you even know the meaning of a scammer ?

This shows you have a very low local mentality and if you and your so called friend doesn’t try to change it. I feel you guys will end of regretting it. You are talking about enthics. Here in berlin, I paid for a single room apartment for 512euros. I paid from Nigeria. So i arrived germany and saw that some people actually pay less than that amount in some hostels in Berlin. I realized that my hostel is more expensive than the others. I went for the expensive one because i was desperate and in need of accommodation b4 i arrive berlin.

Do you expect me to start calling my landlord a scammer because his hostel charges more than the others in berlin and he should refund me after we made an agreement?

Nobody gives a Bleep about enthics, whether in Nigeria or Germany. Its called business. The government won’t stop my landlord from fixing high price for his hostels. Its your choice whether to pay or not and make a contract once you pay. The problem in Nigeria is that we are not in the habit of making contracts. If that agent made a contract and your friend refused to pay up. Do you know she will be sued if she was in germany ?

So please next time you talk, try to be reasonable. Don’t come here crying foul after your friend bleeped up.

For you Information, its not only in Nairaland that Information about Germany can be gotten. I joined Nairaland aftter i got admission. So it’s possible that someone esle helped you or guide you during your application. USA and Canada admission is not complicated. You apply directly to their school. The only hard thing about these two countries is visa issues. As far as you have good result, getting admission in USA or canada is the easiest of them all. There is no much competition unlike Germany were millions of people apply to a single course all bcus of tuition free.

Stop being a fool and accept the mistake your friend made. Pay the poor agent his money and get the admission letter. You and your friend are the real scammers here.

STENON:
People should be careful of scammers on this thread. Someone from this forum charged a friend of mine 300k for admission processing in Germany. She paid 197k before later realizing that all is needed is just UNIASSIST. The idiot refused sending her admission letter because she is yet to balance up. Pleasee beware of fake agent. Germany admission is the easiest of all countries.
German admission is the hardest. Germany is not like UK or USA, that once you have the money to pay fees they will sharply admit you. Even if you have a low grade. But to get into a german university, you need a good grade. German Universities are tuition free that’s why people all over the word apply to Germany and admission is difficult due to the high number of applicants.
Especially if you are applying for a course that is highly in demand. Why do you think many people go for bachelors instead of masters, its all because of not being able to get admitted for a masters course.

People tend to apply for a course that is not highly in demand and not related to their bachelors all because they want to leave Nigeria.

So please don’t say getting admission in Germany is easy, it’s actually the most difficult and very stressful process.

I want to know how exactly your friend was scammed, someone help him/her to get admission and all the processes associated with admission. They both agreed on a payment and the person fullfilled his side of the bargain by getting your friend an admission. So please explain how exactly is it a scam ?
It will be a scam when your friend doesn’t get admission and the agent is asking for the money, that is when you will say its a scam.

Your friend is very wrong by not paying up the money. She is lazy for not trying to start from page one of this page to know how to apply and get admission cus all the information needed is here and alot of people are willing to help her for free but she decided to follow the easy way out by paying someone to help her. So it’s definitely her fault and she is wrong for not paying up the agent.

The process involved in getting admission in germany is very stressful. We all know it. Am in Berlin now and i know what i went through to be here. I know how many rejection letters i got b4 getting admission. Unlike UK that will immediately give you admission so you can waste your money on them.

Tell your friend to do the needful and pay up. She wasn’t scammed. Someone did all the stressful work for her and she got admission. I wonder how you will call that a SCAM. If it was in Germany, your friend will be arrested for breach of contract because this was an agreement and the agent did his part. She should bear the cross and pay up and i hope others will not be as lazy as her and learn to do things themselves.

SO PLEASE DONT SAY GETTING GERMAN ADMISSION FOR A COURSE YOU REALLY WANT IS EASY. BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW ITS NOT EASY.

Elders in Germany.

Only one University is offering a degree in petroleum engineering

Pls is there no career in petroleum engineering/ oil and gas/ anything relating to oil and gas job in Germany.

The university is claustal university and it's low in ranking.

Pls enlighten me pls
Ranking doesn’t matter in germany. All universities will give you quality education.

Germany is not an oil producing country, so they don’t teach a course that won’t benefit them.

So am not such if there is a career in oil and gas

the way guys ask question here without doing research is alarming and uncalled for
If you have data to ask this question u could as well type this question in google and plenty options will come out going to germany is a personal thing I have said this what work for A might not work for B people have gotten admission with OND and people has been rejected even with 3.5 BSc cgpa so just do research on google and don't forget daad.De and u will have more than enough info that you will turn to a guru.
Or better still start from part 3 and by the time u have finished this you will be given people advise here so tell your couaine to do her/his research well and the sky will be the starting point
Good luck .

Hello guyz,

I have an issue that needs urgent help. For some reasons I don't know my appointment booking was cancelled either mistakenly by someone (the person that helped book it) or by the system (I can't really tell). I still have the application booking mail which was scheduled for October 15th 7.30am, then I got a cancellation mail yesterday which I don't understand how.

I'm still trying to book another appointment but my question is can I still take this appointment letter to the embassy on that day? For the guys that have done their interviews, do you think this will be an issue as my slot would still be open? I know the security guys at the gate just want to see the application print out. How else can I confirm an application booking?

Thanks.
Your village people are seriously at work.

Online application opens from march. So you can apply in march 2019. For the requirements, you need bsc certificate, waec certificate, transcript, ielts or toefl if you have, international passport, letter of recommendation from two persons(preferably two phd lecturers or professor from your department), letter of motivation(google it and get samples). The letter of motivation is vital in granting you admission.
You fill the application form online and upload these documents. You then print the colored copy of the online document and keep it safe. Thats what you will submit to the school once you get to bremen.
You then wait for the outcome of the admission. You will hear from them as from june. Once you are granted admission, you then proceed to stage 2 which is visa processess.
I wish you the best
Uni bremen offer some courses in summer too

I don't think embassy have problems with WAEC print out .
Just make it color and photocopy the rest you want to certify
You can't be rejected because of WAEC print out since u will still certify it once its certified its good to go.
May be the person didn't do certification but make sure your transcripts are stamped on allnpages guess that's what embassy no dey take play .
Peace
Embassy strictly said Original waec...dy didnt say bring waec online print out. Anyway did u use waec online printout to go for ur visa interview?

2. Can be from ministry of education
4. Most of iimes na course dey decide no be school
Anyway some schools wrote strictly that the letter should be gotten from the school of ur previous education.

I think letter from ministry of education will limit him to some schools.

4. I mentioned a school which is Anhalt University that gives admission to anybody that apply so far your german GPA isnt below 3.0. So that school is suitbale for you if they offer the course you want.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. If I understand you well ( you mean evidence of finance eg blocked account, Sl or scholarships) all of them are very okay
4. I dnt think anyone can ans this for you because we dnt knw your course, Gp, what your motivation letter looks like and all. even if we do there are soo many school and we all can only speak about the once we encountered so my advice is make research. Apply to a lot. Work hard for that co it won’t come cheap and read from page one. You might see someone with your Gp get admission in a school of your choice
Did you use printed out waec result to apply to universities in Germany? If so, please list them. Cus this is one of the reasons dy reject people’s application. I will advise the guy to go bck to his secondary school and get his original waec result to be on the safe side

3.4 German GPA is really low. The lowest most universities in German take is 3.0. But you can still try your luck. I recommend Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (That sch can dash admission anyhow). Also try Beuth University (apply to unrestricted courses only)

This person is very funny oh. You're saying this because you have never seen Paulinus in action. If you show up with the wrong appointment letter, The way he go take send you back, it will do you like action movie.

I have been to the embassy twice
The first time for certification and the second time for interview. The first time I went, all the people behind me were sent home.

They already have a record of those that are going to show up for appointment and Paulinus will over check it with your passport number.
Let me state it clearly that if you do not go through the normal process, that is book for a visa appointment through this email student@lago.diplo.de, you're on your own oh.

And let me also remind you that it's stated clearly on their website that there are no available dates anymore so if you go through the other route, that is book for appointment on their website, you think it's not obvious enough that something is wrong somewhere?

I'll also tell you that if you're found guilty of getting your appointment through a crooked means, maybe by using another passport number or whatever, you'll be banned

Finally, they're future applicants here who are patiently waiting to apply for summer, please don't pour sand in their garri! We're all in this together, nobody is competing with anyone, we're all going to get there at the end, please let's be patient and do the right thing.

All the best to everyone out there

P. S A word is enough for the wise. If you want to show your childish nature by hurling insults at me, you're on your own oh!
Did you try to go through the link he posted b4 concluding? I understand your point that the November slot is for those going for summer but nobody actually knows if November slot is for summer students. Remember most schools starts summer application by November and give admission by January/February.

Now since July, it’s been written on their site that there are no more slot for visa appointments but people still applied and got visa appointment date (am an example).

If you went through the site the guy posted here, you will see that it was boldly stated “LONG TERM VISA FOR STUDENTS ONLY. So as you can see he booked for a long term visa which stated for students only. I actually think they want to stop email appointment booking and start online booking. Remember last year, bookings were made online. They can decide to change method anytime they see fit.

The only problem now is that if he goes for interview and the VO sees that his coming for winter. He might get a visa rejection if truly that the November slot is meant for summer students only (Nobody is sure about that fact)

For me there is no harm in trying. If am the one I will go there and see for myself. If they send me back I go back. If God dy by my side and they accept me. I port to dutchland.

Don't misquote him he is just trying to say that unless he is with a scholarship from Germany he won't be able to be attended or given a date for winter period but he should reapply for summer semester during November
The was given a date. From my interview experience, Paulinus doesn’t know if you booked using scholarship or not. All appointment mails are the same. I feel once you are able to pass paulinus and enter the embassy. You have no problem, the VO are very nice and considerate

Good day house, I have applied for an interview and the date was on the 13th of July and I did it in Abuja, and about 3 weeks later after the interview they asked for my travel insurance which I submitted immediately the next day. But it’s now going to 4 weeks and no response from them since. Honestly i am worried I don’t know if my visa won’t be granted or why it’s taking this long cos everyone says it doesn’t normally take this long. Does anyone in the house know anything or have any idea on y please.
Simply call the embassy and ask them what’s taking so long. They will tell you if there is any problem. Am surprised you even waited for 4weeks b4 getting worried (You sure say to comot dis country dy hungry u sef) Better call them
