Good morning people,

I have a question I hope the gurus can help me with. Anyone is welcome to give their opinion, thanks.
After gaining admission earlier this year to University of Tuebingen, I applied for visa and went for interview as required. Interview was ok, I believe. But last minute, my sponsor messed up and I couldn't raise that amount of money in such a short time between my interview and enrollment deadline. The school has told me I can come in next summer or winter semester, whichever I choose.
Meanwhile, after my interview, the embassy sent me the usual message to fund but it's been silent since then. I was expecting a rejection letter or something and it hasn't arrived since October. My documents are still with them. I didn't bother going there all this time because I was too depressed and I just threw myself into working and trying to raise the money myself.

My question is do I apply for a visa all over? Or just go ahead to fund my blocked account against the coming semester? (I haven't decided whether to go in the summer and winter) Or is there a particular type of application for people in my shoes?

I'd appreciate a response please, especially from those that have been in a similar situation.

Thanks

Shirbrown:


thanks, but can I also use NECO for my visa application

Williamso:

Hmmmm. You should have withdrawn your application and collected your documents. Wasn't even in your best interest to wait for a rejection from the consulate. Good thing you didn't get it though (Check your mail vigorously). Maybe others can say more, but what I would do if I were in your shoes was to write the consulate first and explain things to them (obviously, you don't need to go into details) to know the next step even before funding the account.

Hi everyone, on issues bothering on ECTS, I studied a 4-year course here in Nigeria, which is a total of 158 Credit units. Most European schools, German schools inclusive, require 180 ECTS for admission into their Master's programmes. In Europe, 1 academic year is equivalent to 60 ECTS. I am quite confused if there is another way of converting Nigerian Credit system to ECTS because it appears my 4-year programme did not meet up with the 180 ECTS requirement. I therefore call on veterans and other contributors in the house to help shed more light on this.
Thanks in anticipation and have a great day.

Good day house! Application sent. School resumes by march next year and admission status wont come in till ending of jan/feb leavn a month dor processing.

However, i wantu take a leap of faith by opening the dutch account down now so by jan i would have gotten my account aet to avoid delays.

Whats d next step to take house? How do i go about opening the account? Thanks!

hadassaheke:

sorry bro, I think you'll need your admission letter for block account opening

stevemims:
You could take 'the second turning by your left' when you'r ready to open the acct.... It is called 'applicant visa', some peep took it here and it worked fine.. Just take your time, read through Galads, Abiton or Abbhey posts... Cheers

Dam12:
Applicant visa route can be used if he applied via uni-assist he can easily use the confirmation of application from uni-assist to open the account while he waits for adm letter bh apart from that iono how else he can go about it, he will probably need to chill for the letter nd hope it comes earlier. Another option is to apply to other courses/schs dt mk adm decisions early enough so u can just use it for visa app to save time

stevemims:
Boss! My reason for mentioning those monikers is to allow him/her read through their posts and if possible contact them for futher ideas.. I am not sure they both used the uni-assist doc.. I stand to be corrected though.

The embassy in Nigeria doesn't accept uni-assist processing letter for block account. For applicant study visa, you need maybe an invitation for an exam or the like. This has been discussed here ,read some pages back.

dprinz99:

Actually, 4 years of study in Nigeria should be 240 ects, with a year being 60 ects.
Though there is no standardized way to calculate it in Nigeria, but 1cu is roughly the equivalent of 44hrs of work (lectures, labs, tutorials and self study).
Compared to the ects which is 30 hours per ects point, then you can infer that our credit unit requires 14 hours( about 50 percent of 30) more work.

So your 158 CU should be about 237 ECTS credits.

At any rate, your 4 year study is greater than or equal to 180 ECTS.

Good luck

Williamso:

I don't quite get the bolded...

cahnellven:

Well in my school in naija 1cu equals 1 hour Labs, 1hr lectures and 1hr self study weekly. There are 14 lecture weeks in a semester. So we get 42hrs plus 2 hrs tutorials/revision .
In order words , 1 CU = 44 HOURS OF WORK

Yes my bros, I am in Bremen now, infact my eyes don clear now, when some boss men dey tell us that they hardly have time to visit nairaland I think say dey just dey form, I am overwhelmed with exercises because I came a month late. When I arrived on 16 november,I lodged at townside hostel at am dobben for 7days and from there through meeting people I was able to secure an accommodation at malerstrabe, I am just trying to fit in with the lectures and exercises I missed, this Germans and Asians are very sharp, especially the fine fine girls, na so dey dey scatter matrix and integral equations like tommorow no dey, engineering courses no be child play for here,some of equations they are solving i have never come across it, even the lab self i no fit operate anything, na so all this guys and girls go dey handle everything, but i am fiting in gradually, those fine girls are puting me through. I was offered a job by a Ghanaian man that haved lived here in Germany for 20years,I told him thank you sir, I am coming, I run, no time to work, but I was told that in the second semester the work load will be reduced drastically and one can have enough time to work. For the townside hostel that I stayed for one week,it was surprising to me that male and female stay together in one room, in my room we have 2 boys and 4 girls, nawa oo, fine blonder girls dem, for naija we no go fit risk this kind thing o
