LordSlytherin:
Hi can someone use an admission letter on interview day different from the one used to book for Visa appointment and open block account ?

Honestly, some comments here makes me laugh
You don't want to attempt IELTS but you want admission. when the decision maker decline your application, you start crying fowl.. my brother, our english is not recognized yet as "Öfficial" hence the need to fulfill all these requirements. Remember, thousands of applicants with good cgpa, ielts result, amazing motivation letters, work experience are also applying for the same course you are yearning for. I believe in one thing. when we do things right, with God and prayer, everything will fall in place. All these schools change rules and you never can tell. I have seen crazy instances where a Nigerian student with 2.97 Cgpa, 7.0 IELTS, Goethe A1, motivation letter, work experience who applied for Bsc in automotive engineering was rejected..


Like serious.. A school offering Msc programme that does not need recommendation and English test . with my little experience in German schools and studies, I have never come across such school and course..maybe you can be kind enough to share it with us..

Above all guys, lets do our own assignment and put things in place. lets not take shortcut to some decision in life..

Erinnern, Deutsch Sprache ist wichtig für das tägliche Leben, ebenfalls Sie müssen Deutsch lernen !!!

I pray God grant us our heart desires..

Lol, there are some schools (uni koblenz, th koln, btu, Tuk nd more) that I mailed and they replied an English proficiency letter is fine and can cover up for the English test, meanwhile recommendation letter was not part of their requirements while sm made it optional. Above all, Its just better to contact the school themselves nd follow the instructions and requirements, nd pray for success. I believe no matter how bad it might look, if one apply to many schools, satisfying their requirements (esp writing a very good motivation letter) and Ofcus with prayers admission letter(s) will def surface. If one school reject u, another will def accept u.

babanila:


Yes, you can use student copy but you will need to certify the photocopy before sending the photocopy to the school.
Great Futarian !!!

Hello all, Pls hlp me on this information. I need a guide on alot of things and i would appreciate your responses. First things first...I am currently Studying Computer Science Education in the Faculty of Education, i have also completed one year of study and afterwards deferred my admission as i was down with ill health and missed my exams. I have made plans to school in Germany,the financial aspect is also in check. My concern is am from the Sciences, but most courses in 100L were education related,just a few mathematics and physics courses of which i have a carryover(on two courses due to missing score) but my G.PA was 2.7. I intend to apply for the Winter Semester. I dont know if my studying education would influence the course of study now becuase i intend to study Automation,or Mechanical Engineering. Also the winter semester starts September,October and application deadline is Sometime around June,but when does applications actually start. Am confused about a lot of things. Pls i need ur guidiance. Thank you.

Fesobi92:

babanila:
The change in your school name is not an issue, since its reflect on the transcript, no problem but you can get a letter from the school stating that the name changed from ....... to .........

People get there visa and no one hears from them anymore? People in the past paint glory pictures of Germany to you? Let me tell you the hard truth.
If you're coming to Germany because you truly want to study that particular course and you have financial back up in Nigeria, Come! You are welcome to Germany
If you intend to borrow your blocked account money to come to Germany to study, forget it! It will take you years to pay back that loan. You will be frustrated when your debtors will start to call you except you have no conscience and don't intend to pay back as agreed.
You have seen posts of 8.50€ per hour minimum wage and 450€ per month mini job and you brought out your calculator and you totalled it to be over 100k per month! And you thought to yourself, I will hammer in Germany. Sorry.
Forget that Naija mentality where you are sure of a certain amount every month. Not here. Majority of jobs for students is 'as it comes'. Meaning today your agent may call you, tomorrow and next no work for you. Basically there's hardly any permanent job that you can depend on. You need to keep looking out for new jobs. Here, say you get an agent, they send you to clean people's homes, wash plates, carry load, packaging, baby sit, and other menial jobs (forget suit and tie), you can't even be sent to work everyday. Its against your visa rule. No company will hire you for 30 days straight (except holiday jobs during just few months of holidays). Do you know what it means to leave your house sometimes 4am to go to work? Sometimes you return from work 2am? Be ready to work at odd hours. The cold here is brutal. Imagine entering into a deep freezer everyday. Sometimes its even colder than your freezer. During winter you can get -16°c. Brutal cold with wind and ice block falling on you from the sky. Passing through that so you can eat and pay bills.
Everything thing you make goes to expenses. Germany is a very expensive country. When you convert basic things you normally buy cheaply in Nigeria to the price in euros you will cry. Imagine buying small plastic rubber to store something in the fridge that will cost nothing more than 100 naira for 2pcs and you buy only 1pc for 1€. Everything thing is at least double the price in Naija. Some are far more expensive. It means that the high amount you make goes back to spending. Now get this, depending on the city you live in, your house rent

Schwartz:
will most likely eat most of what you can make. Target from 200€ for monthly rent and be ready to share kitchen, toilet and bathroom with others. I have seen students in some major cities pay 500€ monthly just for a room in a flatshare. You want self contained? Rare and far more expensive.
Then you got to pay your insurance. Don't take crappy insurance because its cheap. When you fall sick then you know what you did to yourself. Some are around 30, but also expect within 30 - 160€. Most pay around 80€. Get your calculator and start converting. Cheap city rent all bills inclusive 250€, insurance 80€, feeding(cook by yourself and pack lunches), toiletries, recharge library card, recharge internet for phone, internet for house,let's say 120€. Your city will determine your expenses but my calculation hits 400€ monthly in a moderate city maybe in the north. So you see that 450€ you were happy about, its returning to pay bills. If your school doesn't offer semester ticket or only limited ticket sorry. Transportation in Germany is unbelievably expensive! Imagine paying 2.60€ bus, 5€ train about 500 naira for very short distance. Same distance that won't cost up to 100naira in Naija.
Visa renewal: when you arrive, everything depends on your city. Many cities in Germany, when you go to extend your visa from initial 3 months they bring out calculator and check your bank balance. Depending on what you have in it they divide by 670. Many people got 8 months, some 1year. Take it as luck if your city can issue you 2 years. But keep an open mind. Some Auslander behorde are strict. Okay, you got 1year, and the following year to renew you got to have another 8,000€. Lol. You cannot have 8,000€ sitting in your account doing nothing. How much do you make to even save that amount within a year? When there are mandatory expenses to be made? Some students are running helter shelter cos of this. Some are running everywhere looking for someone to help with sponsorship letter. Hardly will you find someone willing to stand for you with that letter. There are legal implications for that should anything go wary. No one wants to mess with the law.
Getting passport though Citizens: I have travelled from north to south of Germany and I say with all sincerity that I have not been able to count up to 10 black and white couples. Generally here couples go out together a lot. They are always seen together. Why don't I see a black girl and a white guy together or a black guy and a white woman together? That is because it was in the past that it was easier to get a white into marriage. Now its harder. Don't count on coming to marry oyinbo and get passport. You may search and search, try and try but it ain't leading no where. BTW if you succeed marrying them or having a baby with them getting the passport is not automatic. Takes some years and not so straight forward as you thought. I personally know a guy who has a baby with German citizen Na when pikin don reach 10 years them finally give am passport. Just keep an open mind. Don't let anyone lie to you. Don't allow anyone paint beautiful stories. Don't be moved by pictures they snap beside fine buildings, fine cars ( not theirs), fine clothes. Don't leave your job, your business, apply for one crappy course just so you can get in. You will regret it.
My guy sends things from Germany. OK. Used things? Grade one tokunbo? Those things are for free ! People put up ads on eBay, shpock and give things they don't need for free here. Some are in really good condition. He sends it to Naija and you think, my guy don hammer. The one who comes home throwing money around as if there's no tomorrow, chances are they are into something dirty and illegal.

Schwartz:
Bottom line is, I am not trying to scare anyone but those are the challenges of an average student plus real experiences of some nairaland guys I personally met here. No one will be abroad and want to paint this kind of picture. No one wants to be laughed at. Some come here and say something totally different from what they pass through. I know some Nairaland guys already making applications to change schools. Reasons being the course is too hard (tougher than they imagined) some because the city doesn't give them what they planned on (few jobs to hustle) and that's what most come for. Some have failed out of school. They won't come here to say all this.
Still want come? This are some of the challenges but you got to be very brave and strong in mind and body to brave the odds.
