Guys, thank you all for your efforts. It has been an enlightening read.

I have three questions:

1. First with the trivial: What is the "AM" or "Angel Merkel" everyone keep referring to. I haven't figured what they mean by that.

2. I have a 2:1 in Economics (Bachelors), an MSc in Information Technology from the UK. I want to apply for courses in the computer and natural science in Germany. The schools I have checked (TUM, Ulm, RWTHAachen) seem to place great emphasis on your bachelors to be related to the proposed MSc. I assume that corner cases like mine should have a shot at being admitted. Anyone with experience on such a case? Or advice?

3. My third question is related to the second. I applied for the Informatics course at TUM. One of the documents I am supposed to submit is a curriculum analysis (attached). I have no idea how to convert credit load for my BSc courses to ECTS. I have scoured the internet. Anyone with information on how to do this?

Thanks for your attention.

you combine all your documents in a pdf file and send it to them in an email as attachment.

please are you sure of this, I mailed the course coordinator he said I should check the website like I no know before, the application takes you to an online application but when you click on it...it gives the application is closed, check feb2019, that I tried last month o so something is not right, maybe demigodzeus is right, they have not opened for the winter application

Legacy666:


Please gurus in the house, attend to my questions. Thanks

University of Trier is a good school but after applying, you have to pay an application fee of 50€ before they process your application.

DemigodZeus147:


Is that the application process now?. Thought there was an online form to fill, please give more info coz I am applying for the programme.

I don't really know if all programs have same procedure but I'm going for History and Economics(MA) and the direction is to attach all document in a single pdf file and email to eh@uni-bayreuth.de. And they have a rolling academic application..... Meaning you can apply any time you want for winter. I'm just waiting for my transcript now. I have exchange lot of mails with the school and nice enough they accept proficiency letter from your first degree institution.

like I said in the post before this, I was referring to History and Economics, they could have different method of application for different courses.

Thanks badmus306, what about working while schooling cos I can't speak German? Do you stay in Germany or a prospective student like me?

1. AM is an approval mail sent by the embassy when your visa is approved requesting you to submit your travel insurance

2. I think your skills and a strong motivation later can scale you through

3. Check last parts for part 5 or the beginning of this part for the conversion

Hi
I know my case is different.. someone just help me out like that please

My question is what easy course can someone study offer there, (by easy course, I mean a course that's very easy to undertake .. Just like library science in Nigeria, I hope someone gets what I mean)

2nd. What's school offers an almost automatic admission process

NB
I'm not really interested in working while shooling also..

Getting out of the country is the issue and honestly, I'm really not very interested in the degree, just want to get out of this country and can't find any faster means than student visa that's why I'm opting for it

Oga. Eldee. Why did you say Bavaria isn't quite cool?

Eldeee:


Why the two if I may ask, and why only TUM? The reports we have gotten from schools in bavaria seems not quite cool anyway. I would suggest you check out for other courses that catch your interest, if possible look out for related courses as well. But make sure you check the application process very well to see if it suits you.

For the scratch card, anyone you get is ok, as long as its valid to check the results. But note it must be printed, and please don't attach it to the copy you are meant to submit. Just have it on you.

Every study related expenses you are required to make for the whole year is being captured in that 8640 of which accommodation is inclusive, however take note you have to pay for Nigeria bank charges and your block account handling cost. So you should be funding with 8829 euros or a little more depending on the bank you intend to use. But while traveling, make sure you have with you at least a sum of about €1000 to enable you sort out other relevant expenses before you unblock and also your caution fees if you have need to secure accommodation especially when its very difficult to find one.

As per uniassist, some persons here are already putting their applications together to forward to unassist to reduce cost, so read to find out who they are and contact them. You have to locate them and not them coming to you.

As regards other questions of yours, feel free to ask them here but make sure you ask reasonable questions. Kindly read pages from part five at least to learn more about the process. We encourage active participation so we await to see your contributions to other people who are also new, just as we are doing to you now.

Remove every entitlement mentality and don't expect we spoon feed you. You see say na my church mind I carry answer you this questions with details even though you go say you no force me, laughs. But plz be polite, humble and be resourceful to others here with your contributions.

One love.

Annestacia:
ABEG OOO! Na only me waka come?? Anybody in Koblenz or going to Koblenz (Summer or Winter)?

I hope to go to Landau, Winter. Got the admission already but sorting other things out. Are you in Koblenz?

1. TUM doesn't need your waec so I don't know why u need all that pin and stuff. Your notorised copy of the original is enough if u still wanna send.

The other questions, well I guess answers will Come in for them

bjayNL:
Hello Gentlemen and Ladies,

So I've been reading and started my application to an extent.

I have two courses TUM I'm putting in for.

1. Sustainable Resource Management
2. Management.

Both are masters.

Winter semester.

I have few questions as the heat of the application is on, deadlines to meet and essays to write I hope I'm not late.

1. This scratch card for checking result to be sent, mist it be the hard copy card, can I just buy the pin online and send on a printed sheet attached with the notorized copy of the original result?

2. I have my 8640Euro set, however are there some expenses I have not factored? Just this evening the issue of accommodation just came into mind, please how do I go about this any advice?

3. Please are there people forwarding results to Uni Assist so we can package it together via DHL to avoid stories and reduce cost?

I still have more questions, I hope to get answers to them even as I read. However I'll have to ask here...

Thanks in anticipation of your swift response...

@justwise. Keep up the good work...

I have a friend studying there, you can work while schooling but like people there will say "the language is the meal ticket", you will be open to alot of opportunities if u know the language.
I am a prospective student like you tho I'm learning the language

Yes, I noticed, coz I had to go through your previous posts. Your application process differs from ours.

For automatic admission, look for a private university or those that are not tuition free.

Randy91:

Oga. Eldee. Why did you say Bavaria isn't quite cool?

Berliner1 : 9:30am On Nov 23 , 2018
SooCute :
B2 should take you less than a year. But if you mingle and force yourself to speak (your cut and join German) you would eventually start making sense sooner.
Also depends on how much time you wanna put-in. I would advice you to start learning German from Nigeria. Throw yourself to it. Just like @hounorableseyi hinted, If yo come here bro/Sis you go ration your time ooo. Alot of wahala if you are doing Bachelors in Engineering( or STEM).
Time no go too dey plus course work, hustle go tie you down.
If you want soft small....avoid education in BAVARIA...i wouldn't say more than this..
Just laughing here about bavaria...where at the TUM fanatics?
Only one state with dramatic auslanderbehorde(foriegners office) and weirdo Uni...
My advice, learn basics German upto A2...look for mini job and face your studies 100%....look for internship or work student....dont com here for courses that are not marketable....during summer...work full time to save...prepare for life after studies....linkedin...xing etc.
Employers dont employ based on university ranking here....this is not UK or USA...dont come here for MBA as well...if one school is difficult transfer your credit to another uni.
God bless our hussle..

Oga. Eldee. Why did you say Bavaria isn't quite cool?

like I earlier said from the reports we are getting. It's not like other places are not tough, but it seems to be more with Bavaria Here is an excerpt from a veteran, I have to shorten it.


Now it happened that many folks didn't have a clue. I asked the professor, "Are we gonna be expecting this kinda thing in Exam?"
She answered "You know, i didn't make the rules. It is typical for the Bavarian region. Our exams are usually not multi-choice. Normally, Education in Bavaria is tougher than every other part of Germany...so when you pass with a Bavarian certificate, ......."
Well, i am saying this because many people here wanted to travel out of Nigeria for many reasons. For me, if German certificate is German certificate....why should i come and kill myself by myself? Honestly, don't be discouraged. But also don't say "I wish i was told earlier". I have come of age to know what fits me per time. No be paper we dey find come here las las? What shall it profit your village people that you came here and graduate in 10years? Ogbeni are you a baby?

aside the difficulty in education, are there also crisis or high level of racism? It's good one get these facts straight before any further development

Randy91:

You need just your 100L first and second semester transcripts, but if you have your full transcripts, you can still use it. Me I'm using just my 100L transcripts.

bl33d:

Racism we learnt is more around eastern germany regions with exception to Berlin being the capital of Germany, the Germans are quite conservative but very nice and straight forward. More shocking you might get rude expressions with beefs from your fellow African brothers from cameroun, Kenya and possibly Ghana etc. But in all, you will definitely survive.

As any applied to university of wuzrburg?..
