Williamso:

Congrats. Please I'd appreciate if you could expatiate on this. Thanks.

Dehonourable:
Credit points Equivalent. To meet the admission requirement for Master's program in Material sciences, the equivalent of at least
16 ECTS credits in each of the following subjects must have been taken in your first degree program (1) Material sciences (2) Chemistry (3) Physics

Contact hours spent in the classroom or Lab each wk

Williamso:

I know that. What I mean is, how did you express the conversion? Did your school do it for you? Or you just attached another sheet explaining Nigeria's credit system?

Dehonourable:
I did the conversion by myself Bro because I stl have all the course units I offered frm 1st to final year in my file.

Williamso:

I did that too but uni-bonn did not recognize it... Thanks anyway

When I applied to Karlsruhe, they needed something like that and so what I did was to make a .pdf file and a hardcopy listing all the relevant courses that I took with their course code and a detailed description of each course's contents..and they were pleased with it. I called this document "Description of Relevant Coursework". I advise all prospective applicants to any other school to do this:..why? because it helps you stand out..they no longer just see "Engineering Mathematics 1" but rather they now see "Fourier analysis, Stokes theorem etc"..with this they are better able to gauge the difficulty of your undergradiate work...and as you already know our Nigerian syllabus is very standard(having been developed from the British) so when the admissions committee of ur german school see that they will know that you are capable of completing the msc..by the way I submitted this document to every school that I applied to and the admissions officer at Karlsruhe replied me to tell me that it was a very welcome idea.

@Bethiano ...Dont discourage anybody....Stop pickin on Nigerans....Do you know what Chinese and Indian students do? I bet you dont...I find it heartbreaking that you re pickin on Nigerians when you dont know the way other countries go abt their application process.

Because u dont get admission now u wan come tell pple hw to apply abi...or u wan come tell pple hw to dey reason abi. Shld i dig out ur first post.We all were "newbies" .sometimes when I go through my old post I laugh. IF you feel the question is ridiculous..kindly Ignore..the last time I checked the aim of this thread is to assist newbies abi .

Baba no disrespect but calms down.our pple say na cooperation make rice full pot..I for one would love Nigerians to benefit frm this free tuition in Germany.

Stop tryin to dictate to adults how to live their life...If it pleases anybody to apply to 10 schs ..pls do..especially if ur cgpa is low.

Yes you should check if your bachelors degree is compatible to ur intendin program but Dont limit urself..apply to as many schs as you can..and do course description as the poster above has explained.

Peace bro.

All the best.

maybe when u get to Germany ur views will change.

@cindinno, tell them ooooo.

nice one bro, good to know you still make out time to help here.

There is nothin illegal or morally wrong abt applyin to as many schs as u can afford.

U want to create central sys..u never even reach here u don dey find hw to lock pple out..baba why? na so u be?

Do u know that some schs make money from application process...eg Unitrier chargin 50 euros for each application..if abt 2000 students apply thats 100k euros do you know hw much that is? OGA abeg relax nor dey reason like this.

Do you think the germans re foolish...they ve a need ( skilled labour) and the third world countries re supplyin them with the need for free. Nothin is free in freetown bro..This is Europe..the Europeans will nt embark on a journey that will nt benefit them.

If all German schools charge prospect students for each course they applied for will you still encourage student to send numerous applications?

Cindino20:


If they can afford it ..Yes...

And mind you they wont charge you..cos they ve a need ( Skilled labour) ..Immediately they feel they re okay(When they dont need skilled labour anymore). they will scrap this free education.

Baba u dey Germany u know hw these things they work.

Bethiano:



Haaaaaaa ! Sorry ooooo! Didn't know you are a sister ! Haaa no vex abeg ! I am not this harsh on sisters ! Please forgive me, I support women Empowerment .

No vex .

But if na brothers , haa I don't take it easy with them ooom

No vex , abeg .

You are missing the point, this is not about skilled labour, they can get skilled labour from other EU countries if they badly need one.

Bethiano has a point which you tried to twist, he is not discouraging anybody or telling them how to live their lives.

If you applied for 10 schools and 5 or7 gave you admission you can only take one and indirectly denying other students a place in that course.

The school has wasted their time and resources processing your admission, sending rejection emails to other unfortunate students then you turned it down and will not even bother to contact those schools to inform them that you have gotten admission elsewhere so that they may will give the place to another Nigerian or Africans.

Justcul:
@Cindino, I think Justwise has a point. If one is already admitted, it is not fair to other applicants (nija) to continue applying to several schools..
Just my thought anyway!

You ve the opportunity to reject the admission and the schs will gv it to someone else on their waiting list.I will advise pple to apply to as much schs as they can afford.

Justwise a simple question to you..do you know what Indians., Iranians, Turks and our Asians brothers do? How they flood Germany with applications...how they change from one sch to another.

Sometimes its nt abt morality or Illegality.. we live in a competitive world where there is no excuse for failure,so I will encourage Nigerians nt to limit theirselves by applyin to 3 schs ...Keep sending the apps brothers.

Skilled labour from EU ..the Eu has little or no restrictions so why is there still a shortage of skilled workers..so u think other Eu countries dont need their workers right?

@cindino, try to always read in-between-the-line @ the bolded!

And remember, nationality is also taken into account during the admission process

Education here is sponsored by the state and the state is tryin to lure in skilled workers ..so what they do is lure in intl students .train them and absorb them. Its simple logic..the state even makes it easy for graduates of German schs to get a job than Intl graduates thru the "Vorrandprufung" which graduates of german institutions ve been exempted from and subsequently extending the post graduate visa to 18 mths instead of 12 mths..and reducing the required salary for ss18 type visa for STEM graduates...nt forgetting the tons of Graduate scholarships for intl students to pursue their phd.

Baba bottom line is they need this students just as the student needs them...its Mutualism and shld nt be viewed as Parasitism.

I rest my case.

I disagree with you. There is no problem with multiple applications if you can afford them. Haba.. Even Americans applying to grad school in their own country apply to more than 10 schools.. it is called "widening your net". If a person applies to 3 schools based on your and Bethiano's suggestions, and he is rejected, would you not consider that person blame-worthy? The schools have the capacity to process the applications and that is why they have the administrative offices. BTW, I culled this whilst checking through LMU's geology website:

[b]7. Warning concerning application to multiple geosciences Master programs

This is especially relevant for international applicants, but it may happen to anyone. If you get accepted by multiple international geosciences Master programs at different German universities, by all means never decline an offer, even if asked explicitly to give a yes/no answer. These are all "conditional admissions" of one form or another. Your documents may be rejected in the next verification step (usually not performed by the Master program you have applied to), or you may be denied registration based on some unforeseen technicality after you arrive at the registration office. There is nothing that requires you to decline any such offer. If you decline at any point, all processing will be stopped and it won't be possible to restart it later if you change your mind. In such circumstances, students may even lose scholarships from other agencies, when scholarship award is conditional upon showing proof of registration by a certain date.[/b]

Guys, widen your net. The rule is:

1)Apply to schools that you think are out of your reach.(those schools that you think are unlikely to admit you)
2)Then apply to schools that are within your reach.
3)Then apply to schools that you are almost certain of admission.

Have you ever visited www.edulix.com ? If you visit this site, then you will see how Indians mass apply to these schools. At the end of the day, it is a personal thing. Scofield mentioned here about how he was rejected by a good number of schools before finally getting an admit. Please let us not be misguided: a person who can send in several strong applications should do, but if you dont have the strength to, then limit your applications.
