Fabcol: I used phone when I did mine and it wasn't an issue at all...just ensure u v a very Strong network and pray village people don't ask someone to call u during the interview (it best you get a new sim)
Hey guys.. So I have a Skype interview coming up..and I want to use my phone..who has experience wit this..will using my phone be an issue or must it be a system??
Philfit: Who can remember The guy that said he did his interview at Abuja embassy, and the people there were very kind and all. I’d need some clarification on this if anyone has an answer thanks. Cause I think he said something about the embassy is open to Abuja residents and neighboring states. How did he apply for an appointment?
Its easier to search him out..use google..type ur specific question then "general German student visa enquiries Nairaland" Google will give u exactly wia ur question was discussed on this thread. This also applies to all newbies asking the same questions over and over again...the guy asking for ects conversion use this method to find ur answer.. It was jst discussed a few pages back.
Yomodun: What did you study during your undergraduate? I don't know if you are aware of the exams before applying but there a couple of schools that don't require writing exams for plant science related course.
Yeah..I Knw ..I'm pretty sure I applied to them all..leaving no stone unturned
Hello guys I jst got invited for lmu exams at Goethe institute. Bt d amount no be here oh..35k per exam and I was invited for two. Now I don't Knw how to choose..who else was invited for the exams..pm me let's rub minds togeda PS: I was invited for MSC Plant Science and MSC Microbial and Cellular Biology
campichristian: Thanks bro, seems like my sponsor is beginning to think germany is not my calling... well I used some calculations I found through previous threads, part 2&3. Where 1ECT= 30hours of lecture and 1 semester =30ECTS in Nigeria. Therefore ECTS are gotten by multiplying total credit units/hours accumulated by 1.5 E.g: physics with credit unit of 3, it ECTS would be 3x1.5=4.5ECTS. E.g: Bachelors thesis with credit unit of 6, it ECTs would be 6x1.5=9ECTS
Now how do I calculate 60ECTs on Economics and business administration courses, 10ECTs in mathematics, 10ECTs in statistics? I have BSc in finance and I’m applying for MSc in Economics and management courses. Thanks
Use this link instead,, it gives u ur perfect ects credit..the reason for the rejections might be that u didn't do enough courses in the subjects the school requires.... My thought though.. Use the ects calculator and check it out for urself

Please what are the requirements for booking students Visa Appointment?
But I like to do the interview by June.
It is clearly stated that u can use this to apply for a student application visa...the thing is in our country, the embassy doesn't issue dat kind of visa...so u must wait until u get an admission letter before u can apply for a visa interview. For normal student visa
chimax1: eem Oga! This is a student thread so obviously you will be arguing with students. I know your giving your own views but negetive vibes about DE like this may put prospective students off track. Everyone has his/her own path, your experiences and views may vary from another person's so that does not make yours superior. @honourableseyi is an invaluable member of this thread and his contributions here are priceless, something I cannot say about you (no offence). Germany is offering what our country can't offer so why not!! We shall see for ourselves!
Oh wow.. I'm so loving this your reply..I don't Knw wat the guy's problem is...
Goztino: They no get red seal o o o. They said its notary club that put red seal.
Freiberg didn't say there should be a seal on the documents. They just mentioned certified copies only
Did u say Freiburg....I jst started reading up on their site as I found one of their courses that I might be interested in...saw their rules on certification.. They said it must include a seal containing a coat of arms.. Make sure u research deep....u will see a document on their approved certification..my personal thought though Gudluk
Braket: So I have decided to only post pictures when I can and not just waste my time and effort on typing since it seems like no one is reading them.
Ah ah..how did u come to dat conclusion.. Abeg people read ur posts.. I personally refresh this page daily looking for updates..i have even started blowing ur horn far and wide.. Pls don't stop writing on ur experiences...
dolpaz: After your studies, you get 18 months from your foreign office to get a Job. when you get a job offer, your 18 months will be converted to a Blue card and in most cases, you could between 2-4 years on your blue card. During the time of possession of this blue card, you need to work for 21 months couple with B1 certificate and you´re entitled to a PR.
Or 33 months + A1 for PR
Oh wow... Thank you so much..this looks very doable
My verdict: The German Government has given us the opportunity to experience world class education at a great price. Lets not abuse this opportunity. Also, The German Government has made residency kinda easy to get.. Finish your studies, during your study period, try and attain German B1 with a corresponding certificate, Apply for a job (There are jobs everywhere), work for 21 months, File for your permanent residency. #Lobatan. Its sounds/looks hard but its doable. I have lots of guys who are on this path. If they can do it, you can do it.
PS: This is my OWN Opinion/Observation.
My english these days sef.. German don kaputt my sentence construction
Thank you so much for this
Pls on d bolded part...when do dey start to count d 21months....is it during ur studies eg MSC 2yrs..or do dey give extra time after studies.. I ask becos I heard somwia dat u are given 18 extra months after study to figure ur life out..if dis is true how can u get 21months of work... Please explain

To all my brothers and Sisters in this struggle, never loose hope.
Poor people like us began this journey with nothing but "Hope" and finally the almighty peppered our Suya. Ordinary tooth pick cannot stop Us!
Don't come here with your tribalism, it has spoiled a lot in my side.
Don't learn the language. .
My flatmate couldn't get job all these while after hundreds of applications. He managed to get a call yesterday from a potential employer for an interview on Monday. Luckily he was shouting hallo!! hallo!!! till he got to me and quickly passed me the phone. So i took the call for him and it was in invitation for interview on Monday. I spoke all the German and got all the details for him. How he's been wondering how he'd manage the interview tomorrow because no be him answer call. Unfortunately i can't follow him to the interview because i've got to go to work tomorrow. Since last night all i've been hearing from his end is no longer Netflix movie sounds and "I've gat you babe, to make me feel alright...." na Olukonya and TB Joshua tapes. I know how it feels to be jobless here. I pray God answers him really. It's not funny.
Fasten your seatbelts guys. This hustle is fvcking real.
Ndkings1: MY PEOPLE I JUST RECEIVED THIS EMAIL AND I NEED YOUR HELP ON HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.
Dear Mr. Chijioke ,
Thank you for your interest in the master’s program in Molecular and Cellular Biology of the LMU Munich.
We had the pleasure of receiving your application for the program. However, while processing your application, we noticed that an official explanation of the credit system of your university was not included, so that it is not clear how to convert the credits stated in your transcript to ECTS credits. Moreover, it is not clear whether your thesis is worth at least 10 ECTS credits.
This means that if your application remains unchanged, the master’s selection committee will have to reject your application, since your application cannot be considered complete. We therefore wanted to warn you and give you the opportunity to update your application.
You can still make changes in the online application form (until March 31, 2019), and we strongly recommend you to do so in order to be eligible for the program.
We look forward to receiving your updated application!
Best regards,
Hey...I applied to d same course at Lmu...wen u were uploading ur documents.. There were explanations to upload a transcript with the credit system of ur institution explained....my skul does not give official credit explanation...so I researched and found d explanation in the regulations handbook of my skul...I used dat and sent it as the explanation dey askd for...if u want detailed explanation pm me. And yes a 6unit project is more dan 10Ects
