By the way for block accout. fidelity exchange rate Used for me as at 14th July was approximately 222euro. So transaction should be less than 1.8million. I guess some banks use higher rate or rate changes every day

Good morning n sorry dat il have to disturb u again, cos i havent seen any1 going for mspe here, so my questns are:
1. How was ur interview done, phone or through skpe?
2. What were the MSPE interview questions?
3. What did you score overall in the first assesment, cos i know its over 100
4. How long before you got the admission notification after the interview?
Abeg no vex for my plenty question o

Please, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask whenever you want to. I will try to respond as well as I can as soon as possible. However, questions on MSPE may not really be appropriate in this particular thread, so you could try sending me a personal message if you have any other questions on MSPE.
1. My interview was conducted using Skype video call.
2. My interview questions were on my motivation to take part in the MSPE programme, the contents of my CV that I submitted as a part of the application documents, and technical questions on the mechanical engineering aspect of power generation.
3. 81
4. That same day!
Notes:
a. During my application window, the interview could be conducted via any of Skype video call, Skype audio call, or the telephone. They preferred the Skype options since they're cheaper.
b. The technical aspects of my interview questions were limited to areas in my bachelor studies.
c. Most importantly, things that apply this year may differ from things that will apply in other years. Further, what applies for one person may differ from what applies to another person in the same year.

Bros please how long did it take union bank to debit ur account. I filled the form A yesterday morning and have not gotten any notification that my account has been debited till now

Thank u

A staff of the bank just confirmed to me that they have not secured forex. They will be unable to effect the various transactions involving forex transfer until they do. That's the process they call bidding.

iyke20024:
you need any prove to show you going for masters, and the fees required.

Just go with bachelor certificate. Admission letter. Deutsche bank account informatioN show how much you should deposit. Requirements from embassy showing the block account sum of any. Next write a letter of authorization allowing fidelity bank or whatever bank to deduct the equivalent from your savings or current account. make sure to include the required account information to debit and amount.

That should be all.

I already done my interview. You could also add mail from embassy asking you to fund account if you already gone for your interview.
Ok. Thanks a lot... I asked because some people here have said the consulate will hold originals of your documents after the interview pending when your visa will be approved or rejected. So I'm just confused how I will show documents to the bank when they will be with the consulate.

Shaa, when I get to the bridge, I'll (hopefully) cross it.

please house I have a question. Can someone who studied chemical engineering do a masters degree program in Power engineering??..

Can the person get a good job in Germany after the program because that course is not very popular in Nigeria here.

Finally, is power engineering the same or related to energy engineering?


please engineers in the house help a confused brother....

hmm I studied CHE, but Power Engr bros that one e far oh!...
I think if you want to branch into Power you should first study Energy Engineering/Systems.
Power Engr is not the same as Energy Eng, and it is not even very close related sef. They are just related.
If na because of German Energy sector employment wan make u study Power/Energy Engr, then it's best you study Chemical and Energy Engr at OVGU Magdeburg.

Danke!

bros, 159? u are lucky o...when boys de see 300EUR for HH

Yeah, u can use Form A.
ALL CREDITS GO TO OBS3RVER
Yes I used Form A, boss. You can use it to pay for almost anything, as long as you have your admission letter, and other supporting documents.

Documents you would need:
1) Admission letter
2) Letter sent to you by the bank containing account details
3) Any other letter (e.g accommodation offer letter) which must state that you were given accommodation in so so so place, and this usually comes included with account details. If it comes separately, attach it to the former.
4) Photocopy of your passport data page
5) NYSC discharge certificate
6) B.Sc. Certificate
7) Letter authorizing the bank to debit your account for the equivalent of the Euro you want to transfer.

Please note, all these should be copies.

The process:

The first step is to approach the bank you want to use (I'd advice you carry your documents with you). When you get there, you would tell them you want to transfer some money to a foreign country for school purposes. Show them your admission and the letter from the bank in Germany. Some of them would tell you that it cannot be done, but you should insist that it can, and ask them to inquire for you from someone else (they initially told me it could not be done in the first two banks[ Access and GT bank] I went to, when I insisted, the ladies in both places inquired from their superiors, and told me it's possible)

The second step is when you want to transfer. When you get there, they would give you a Form A to fill. You should fill this carefully and neatly please as it is going to CBN. That, along with other documents, is what they would use to bid for Euro for you.
Depending on the bank, they would also give you an international funds transfer form, where you would fill the account details, as there is nowhere on the Form A to fill this (at least there was nowhere to fill account details on mine, so I used the international funds transfer form).
I filled this Form A, the international funds transfer form, and submitted the above listed documents, and when they checked and saw everything was in order, they told me I could go, that it would be treated.

The next day (because I went there late, like around 1pm, so they could not bid for Euro for me at CBN again that day) I received debit alerts for the money, plus charges. I went to the bank the next day to collect the Telex copy confirming the transfer.

They would have sent this Telex copy eventually, but if you need it urgently and if you need to confirm payment, you should go and request for it. I went to request for mine, and the branch manager sent an email to the head office requesting for it. They sent it to my email under 1 hour.

Word of advice: if you can use the headquarters of the bank, it would make the process smoother (though this is not compulsory, you might as well collect the number and email address of the person that would attend to you, and follow up).

Banks you can use:
Access bank, GT bank, FIDELITY grin (I personally went to inquire about these two, and I am 100% sure it can be done in any of them). Others mentioned on nairaland are First bank and Union bank.

Bank I used:
I used access bank, because they convinced me they would take just two days to initiate and complete the transfer, this proved to be true. With regards to charges on the transfer, Access bank charged the following:

Offshore charges: NGN 2500
Swift charges: NGN 2500
Manual handling charges: 0.5% of principal sum
Vat: 0.5% of manual handling charges ( I think this should be 5% and not 0.5%, I can't recollect. It's not much at all, it was not up to 50 naira for the money I transferred)

Principal sum in this case = xYZ Euros

Please note, the charges may vary from bank to bank, please inquire about their charges before you proceed. Generally, charges that have 1%, and above, for manual handling charges, should be avoided.

NB: I would not advice you transfer any money for WG from Nigeria, get there before you pay!

cool
