Hello . please what free school can i go for my master's in Germany

Nawa oh lol.
this is not the right thread for this question, visit the thread listed below and read before you ask questions there danke.
https://www.nairaland.com/5042902/general-german-student-visa-enquiries

PS: All schools in germany offer free tuition except private ones.

lilfreezy:
Well I don't think the name of the school matters at this point. He needs help making a decision regarding the visa category to choose. That should be the focus.

He should at least say the name of the school for future readers and those who might be in need of this opportunity.
To the Op you would still need a blocked account (BA) or a sponsorship letter (SL) for your Visa interview.

Temiodeyemi:
TU Dortmund

What course?

glopatra:
Kaiserslautern woke me up with regret mail this morning. This is the second and last time I will apply to that school. Pls guys what do they mean by they need specific core content. I uploaded my school syllabus / course content during the application. My 50 Euros is gone like that

I got the same message this morning, i no pay that 50 euros sha
wanted to try my luck lol.

Kamps:
I know of University of Duisburg Essen..

There’s also TU Dortmund

Thatitan234:
The DHL location I visited in Lagos said they don't offer TNT services

Visit Fedex

Franksuka:
Are you saying that one can book appointment without AL

Yes, AL is not requested for while booking. It’s a new development

anthonanik:
Great Gurus in the house I want to use to podium to ask if I can still make it to dutch-land this year. I applied for winter admission(Cottbus, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin) and Uni assist have processed my application although is still showing incomplete application because my certified documents are yet to get to them( Fedex) company and delay are like mad...and my transcript never enter Lagos from East..i'm just confused guys..can I deffer my admission when it comes out(just been optimistic)...Fedex are killing me oooo and I went to their office and I was asked to provide airfare code for them to be able to track my transcript which I was told has been sent since last week..



Whats the duration for students visa?
Can I deffer my admission?
How long does creating and funding block account takes?

If your documents get to uni assist before application deadline, you are safe.
Hopefully Fedex would send it this week
Then for visa interview, you are not late , you are still very early. Book for a date now tho, hopefully you’d get one in July or August beginning, by then your AL would have arrived.
Opening of blocked account takes less than 2 days with fintiba provided you do it well (experts in the house would be ready to help when that time comes).
You are not too late for DE this year, just try and get your applications in check .Bless!

jcgodfrey:
Is anyone traveling to Germany from ABUJA who can help me take docs to deliver to a friend who’ll post for me?

My deadlines are May 31 submissions- about 3 or 4 schools and they’re direct applications that will require physical delivery of docs and due to the timeline, not sure I can trust delivery services.
Dhl be expensive though and perhaps, let me ask, anyone know if EMS opens on weekends and how long it would take then to deliver to Germany? Thanks fellas.

Use Fedex on Monday it would get there on Thursday, price is 17800.
There’s a Fedex opposite Nicon Luxury hotel, on the road from area3 to CBN Hq central area

glopatra:
They usually request for 100level transcript because it is equivalent to their A level. And chemistry and Engi eeri g in Nigerian universities do exactly the same thing, so you are good to go. Maybe you should send them an explanatory mail first.

No they don’t, he can’t use 100 lvl chemistry to apply to all engineering courses.
There are courses like engineering mathematics,
Engineering drawing, vector analysis, engineers in our society, high level physics which I’m pretty sure he didn’t do, so he has to be specific about the type of engineering he’s going for. Best bet is to do Studienkolleg

Kingsley1000:
I studied animal science with second class upper grade.
which german university that do offer scholarship to African
students or schools with low tuition fee i can do my masters in
Agricultural science
i have 400k in my savings,i'm 24.done with nysc

Read the first page of this thread to have an overview of what schooling in Germany is all about. Keep reading following pages if you want to become more enlightened (it’s for your own good)
For the scholarships there are only two recognized by the German government. DAAD and PTDF scholarships, you can research on them, Goodluck

UrekMazino:
I need help guys... My school leaving certificate doesn't qualify me to study directly in Germany. Though I have a 100 level transcript, it's not of engineering. I don't want to study the same chemistry I ran from just to enter Germany and do the same course again!
They said I should apply for preparatory course but I need geman language b1 at least which I don't have.
I need advice please guy... How do I solve this?

You should be able to see some schools that accept your 1st year chemistry background for engineering. Maybe you should try applying to chemical engineering Bsc courses, then later switch to something else when you enter DE
Another option is to learn German in Nigeria to B1 level and apply directly to Studienkolleg. Takes an average person 2 months to be up to par in a level

hardeyswaggz:
So there is this school called Munster University of applied science whose mode of application for chemical engineering is via posting as they have said their online application is not active for now. Deadline for the course is 31st May. I have gotten all my documents ready to post via DHL but something told me to send them a mail for my eligibility status. Posting fee is not beans abeg. Attached here was what i got. What do i do? It's not looking promising and i am not ready to waste any money

It’s a personal choice bro, no one can make this decision but you.
I’d advise you search for other schools that are less competitive because if you use all your money to send this documents by post and you get rejected, it can lead to depression. And them telling you that you might not get it cause of competition is kinda like a warning sign.

MRBENZENE:
please i stay in abuja does it mean we can now book appointment at the embassy in abuja instead of going to the consulate in lagos

Send an email requesting for your interview to be done in Abuja

olawale360:
Please help a brother, Please can I get samples of Motivation letters? Thanks in anticipation

When searching on google the key word “motivation letter” won’t really do justice to what you want. I’d rather you use “statement of purpose” you would see more than enough

sassy92:
I sincerely doubt that the VO will listen to him. Please tell him to cancel the appointment and book under the right category or face getting bounced on his interview day. Also, it's been said here that some scholarship recipients do get interviewed in Abuja (even before this new booking system)

I guess he is ready to take that chance

Kenechill:
What day did he get? Cos I'll like to keep up with this story. For saying he has a scholarship when he doesn't cos I have friends who booked that category A too.
Make we see as e de Go

June 17. Me sef Dey wait for update

Champion100:
But I never saw applicant choosing location by himself.

I just edited the post, you can check for the latest development

People residing in Abuja I just got information that someone was posted to the Abuja consulate for interview. All he did was to put his location as Abuja when booking.
Edit: He later said he booked under category A and and said yes he has scholarship even without scholarship, hoping to explain to the Vo on the day of his interview

olamitodotun14:
I'm currently in a fix right now. Just applied for appointment at the embassy but did booking with my expired passport and I'm yet to receive my renewed passport which should be around next week. Now I was just informed that my passport number will likely change( I wasn't aware about this) as against the one I used in booking appointment. What do you guys think I should do? The passport expired 2017. Should I cancel the appointment or mail them and explain.

It depends on when it expired
If it’s a really long time then cancel
If it’s like a week or so then you don’t need to cancel
Take the old and new passport and show the VO. They see cases like this often and they would tell you it’s not an issue
When submitting passport and insurance, you would send only your new passport

Goztino:
One more question before I dey alright.
Can someone, abandon his admitted course and use that 3years of MSc to perfect in IT field, programming and language skills?
I mean is it acceptable?

I know why I am asking all these questions. I wanna know all the available options for permanent residency apart from marrying a German

You can’t abandon a course you enrolled with in the foreigners office in any country. They get constant feedback from your school on how you perform and your attendance, those people even see your account balance. Very low credit scores and absenteeism leads to revoking of visa and back to Naija. This is in general tho, not just Germany

You all that are testifying dates, congratulations!
Please endeavor to give the full description
When you booked (new or old system)
What category
Enrollment deadline
Date you were given
Please it helps a lot
Not “ I just got a date ”
Danke.

AgentONE:
For those who applied to HSHL and got that message regarding the rejection of your letter of proficiency...English Proficiency is accepted but on a particular condition.
I used English proficiency letter and mine scaled through.
I can't upload a copy of my doc on a general platform as NL but this is the help i can give, your english proficiency letter should carry a note stating your level of English proficiency according to the European Common framework of reference.
It must strictly adhere to this, based on this note from their website:

If a corresponding note is made on the school leaving certificate or school leaving certificate indicating the degree of English proficiency acquired in accordance with GER (minimum B2), one of the aforementioned certificates will not be submitted.

I'll like to form a group for HSHL hopefuls, for those interested buzz me...zero eight one six(three times) eight six four one zero pls whatsapp alone
I'll take down my contact by the end of today for privacy concern .

All the best!

From what I can deduce if you went to a polytechnic and I think maybe state university they are rejecting the EPL
But If it’s a federal university or a recognized private university they are accepting it

lecksam:
He just replied me now bro .. seriously I don’t understand this people again .. just Flimsy excuses to cut is short from naija .. see his reply

Men I can’t say again ,
Are you gonna take an English test?
And when and what time did you send them your docs?

lecksam:
I got the same exact message yesterday and have mailed the man in Charge back attached to it where he said English proficiency is accepted .. still waiting for his response today ..
I don’t what they want oo.. see the proof of where he said EPL is accepted

I’m seeing it bro, let’s wait and see.
These lipstadt people should not come and start changing mouth oh

Reply from Hamm-Lipdtadts

Dear Ms ,



Thank you for sending us your documents.



During the first examination of your documents, we noticed that the following documents are still missing:



- English language proficiency:

The prerequisite for admission is proof of sufficient knowledge of the English language at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages by means of an appropriate certificate. The proof must be provided by one of the following successfully passed equivalent tests:
- IELTS: minimum 6.0
- TOEFL (internet based test): at least 80
- TOEFL (paper based test): at least 550
- TOEFL (computer based test): at least 213

If a corresponding note is made on the school leaving certificate or school leaving certificate indicating the degree of English proficiency acquired in accordance with GER (minimum B2), one of the aforementioned certificates will not be submitted.

If you have already studied and/or completed an academic university program please also add a transcript and/or diploma as these might be essential for fulfilling the German university entrance qualification. Beside this do only send reference letters or practical training certificates if these are necessary in terms of the university entrance qualification.

The information that you may have studied in English or that the country where you live has English as your national language is not sufficient.[color=#990000][/color]



Please submit the above documents by July, 15th 2019 at the latest.

Documents submitted after this date will not be considered.

Question

Does it mean they don't accept English letter of proficiency because I added mine?

I have toefl but the score is poor not up to cut off. I scored 73

What to do people?

Maybe you forgot to add your EPL,
Cause I sent them EPL as well, and I haven’t gotten this message

MidEastPrince:
Child of God, have you attended a visa apppintment? Because I am surprised that you are already house hunting while still asking about things you ought to know!

Also, how don’t you know that all international students without a scholarship are required to present a sponsorship letter or funds in a block account?

Oh Child of God!

I was speechless when I read his post

Bbinc:
This wait for AL is sickening

person go d even reason another country serf

May this new week contain our AL

Amen

campichristian:
Ok I’ll try this on Monday...

Alright bro, I’d pm you

Chriswazo:
Lol, I knew that I will be admitted on or before May 10th, He said it and it came to past.
The visa booking is where am still talking to Him for, I need His word in that area more importantly.

Amen bro
Time to write your name on the wall of fame don Dey near lol
Me sef Dey come

campichristian:
Good day gurus... I’ve got AL,BA... no scholarship and I reside in Abuja. Which category do I belong to?

Thinking of going to inquire at the embassy... hope they’ll attend to me

Finally, someone that is ready to do this!
Good initiative bro.
Dress responsibly and carry your AL
You’d be stopped by the security guards , just tell them you want to inquire about visa things and show them your AL, you should have no worries
