Please what about Hannover and Stuttgart

Uncle stuggart is cool..Hannover seems cool on paper I ve nt been there....but if u re still in the application phase ..apply to as many schs as u want (pple will argue otherwise its just an opinion ) and when u get the admission u can choose and reject the other admission...dont limit urself for now..

Cindino20:

Thanks Schwartz.....I think there were some misconceptions abt my post.

I never said you did get a Job without speakin German although it happens..i guess you missed the line (ceteris paribus)
...It will be unwise for me to tell pple nt to learn the lang. What I meant by German lang barrier is that after 2yrs of studying you may nt be fluent as a native speaker because you may barely ve time to attend an intensive Lang. Course except the once a week organized by the uni and with that nt much progress is usually made.you may end up at B1 or B2 which is fair enough.

My experience here is that most companies employin graduates are aware abt the difficulties intl students do ve in havin a grip of the languague and what they wanna see is a commitment to learning the lang and in some cases they do ask their workers to learn the languague after gettin the job. For example...the head of our research group is nt very fluent in German despite doing his phd in switzerland but when he was offered the position of a full time prof.the position had a clause stating that in the next 2yrs he should ve learnt the languague to an extent that allows him to deliver lectures in German without issues.....now he teaches in german missed with english...and in some courses pure english.

Bro It is doable ...I met a guy when I arrived here...he studied automation and Robtics...he took him a yr to get a job when he got the Job it was a descent postion mind with little german maybe that was why it took so long ... there is a Nigerian CS graduate that got 2 offers immediately after he graduated...baba it may be difficult but it is doable..there re challenges of course...there is no where in the world where it is easy...but Germany rewards hardwork which is something young pple need.

I ve met a couple of Nigerian students who ve said they wont get a job even before they graduate.... even when u try to encourage them they dont wanna ve any of it..why they hold such views...I dont know...mother nature wont gv u something u dont want and work for...

You also accused me of throwing figures around...I didnt..I will drop links for you...msc graduates re scaled in Tv l 13 in the german civil service (private sector pays higher) see link below ..also Check the link on how to calculate taxes there ...



https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarifvertrag_für_den_öffentlichen_Dienst_der_Länder

http://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/c/t/rechner/tv-l/west?id=tv-l-2016i

You also asked me to post how I got a graduation job...Uncle pple ve different paths......pple know me personally on this board I wont start self edification it is against my core values...but if u really wanna know u I will do it...I m a chemistry student and will submit my thesis in august...I ve an offer already to do my phd with a descent wage(Research assitant position).I m doing a phd because 80% of German chemist ve phd and I didnt travel 5k miles to be a mediocre chemist.

I m grateful to this country for havin provided for me free and quality education....something I did pay thru my nose in Uk,Us or canada...and to add to it the con3 also deemed it fit to support me in form of a stipend...

My friends in Nigeria who re doing tneir master thesis re forced to buy reagents(chemicals) for their own research but here in Germany pple get paid to do research... we re all right..its just a matter of perspective.

I will also encourage young pple who re passionate abt studies to key into this even if it means makin realistic sacrifices...in the short run it may be diffucult..d shitty obs and all that but in the long run it is worth it.

Schwartz dont take this line srxly ..I often make a joke that if Germany is as shitty as u guys make it seems...there is a 10 pm flight to lagos from frankurt. grin cheesy(spaß)
Way to go Bruder! Congrats on your imminent graduation and PhD offer.

More success!

Eke40seven:

Do you have admission in all these places? Duisburg -Essen it is for me. Wonderful mobility because they have the best semester ticket in the whole country, a good school and larger area to assess.

Freiburg would have been nice, but it's veeeeerreyyy expensive for students (cost of housing) and as always being in Baden W, the semester ticket is comparatively shitty.

Trier, a remote place on the border, nice school, bad semester ticket and not so long residence extension for international students.

Koblenz Lindau, nice school but based on what you want, DONT!

Nice debate between Schwartz and the rest. However, we need people like her to moderate the overtly high expectations and perception people have about this place.
Thanks Eke40seven. From Duisburg-essen is a conditional admission. They asked me to write IELTS (6.5) or TOEFL (86ibt) and send the scores in order to get the authentic admission and they gave me till Sept 9th to do that. Aber I already got admission frm Koblenz-Landau and Freiburg, awaiting Trier.
Pls who can help me with study materials for TOEFL or IELTS plsssssssss.. my e-mail: chat2dennis247@yahoo.com

Schwartz:

No Germany is not shitty. I just am a realist. You know how when we were back in Nigeria and we had a friend or brother visiting. We would be expecting the person to throw money and gifts around. We always believed that people from abroad are rich.
Now we are here, we know what is obtainable. Its not the way we assumed. There are certains things that must come to play and certain sacrifices that must take place to succeed here. Its not as easy as the snap of a finger.It takes time to settle into the system. Nobody got euros to throw around. Some of us visiting Nigeria have been going quietly, no euros to throw around. To get 1€ here you work very hard for it.
Just imagine arriving Germany and within one month family and friends have started asking for school fees, feeding, medical bills etc. They believe once you are abroad you must hammer.
I tried to give a balanced view. There are Nigerians here who for years they have nothing to show. Nothing! Its good to think very well and don't give up/loose so much to get here. Going through the website 'how to make it in Germany' it is clearly stated even on DAAD that those in the sciences- STEM have a greater chance here and You read chemistry which is a STEM. My course is STEM too. Please when the job is contract is concluded kindly tell us how you switched from student visa to work permit.
Apart from visa testimonies the real testimonies here is those who went through school, graduated and got jobs here. To get job after graduation here is not so common. An Indian flatmate got a job here after school but time to start the job they apologized to him that they have given it to EU citizen. Stories like this are here but we will overcome EU or not.

Yea I agree with u abt being realistic..a lil optimism wont do anyharm too...most pple once they get to Germany they just abandon this board and move on hence the little or no testimony abt jobs after graduation...

I dont know what is obtainable on the other side(non stem courses)

Sorry to hear abt ur Indian colleague but that company actions re against the employment laws ..Graduates of German unis re exempted from such rules (exempted from vorandprufung see link below) so the claim by the coy is totally against the law..but things like this may happen

http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/(en)/International/Scientists/in-bielefeld/meldewesen.html.

http://www.internationale-studierende.de/en/finishing_your_studies/staying_in_germany/

And for changin from student permit to work permit ..I dont think its difficult cos my Iranian colleague who is a yr ahead of me in my workgroup changed with no issues..she went to the foreign office with her job contract and got s18 permit(work permit) for 3yrs.


I hope u re aware that german graduates also get the permanent residency after 2yrs of workin irrespective of income ..all u need is contribution towards social security.see link below

http://www.expatica.com/de/visas-and-permits/A-guide-to-German-citizenship-and-permanent-visas_108795.html

So Graduates from german uni ve alot of waivers here and loads of opportunities but the lang sha.

Please fellas. I need your help.

I went to First Bank Today and I was told My Form A request has been declined. Meanwhile, I need to pay my tuition before July 1.

Can I use Moneygram or Western Union to pay tuition? If Yes, how long does it take?

Or is there anyone willing to help me pay 700Euros and take the naira equivalent?

Urgent replies please.

Eke40seven , pompido, weirdarkhitekt, williamso,schwartz, stevemims, ogagaejay and the rest have done a whole lotta justice with this thread. I just confirmed my admission 4 masters in intl business & mgt. (Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences). No Uniassist stress nor sending of docs + Nipost/DHL wahala anyways, scanned all and sent, luckily enough was offered a position. Waiting for the hard copy to hit 9ja dis wk. But I have a dilemma. I currently have admissions for Masters in Luxembourg and Canada as well. That of Lux is €200 per session while that of Canada is $3-4k per year. Now, dis German admission is tuition free. Considering
1. the ease of visa processing & higher rate of securing Visa,
2. better integration into the system
3. Standard of education
4. Better welfare after grad as omo Naija

Which will the house advice me to follow?
Fly go Canada bro.... Germany nor bad trust me. But if you have your way enter Canny
BTW, Econs in Lux, while Rural dev in Canada. All taught in English language.

Advice needed from the ancestors.
