Please, I want to know how the Agricultural Space in Germany looks like. I will like to pursue my MSc in the field of Agriculture.

Is it something that is feasible? I read everyone pointing on ICT/IMT. But, we know our strength and weakness. Is there job availability for that field? Which city would you recommend?

NB: Please, Gurus in the house should throw more hints on the above.

Thank you in Anticipation.

Danke grin wink smiley

Agric is for the future no doubt. But tbh at the moment, ICT rules... You can combine both if you open your eyes very well... shocked

I studied in Germany. Started from undergraduate school. I speak fluent German and know much about school and work in Germany. If you have any questions, be it about English or Deutsch in Germany, l would be glad to answer.

For a starter, University education is free.

Every one can't be an IT expert . Who says agric is for future ? Agric .sc provides bulk of food for world population hence it is a good course to study in Germany or any where in the world . We can't be jumping from one career to another

Oga, open your eyes and read well. Didi I say Agric is not a good course to study in Germany?
And yes, ICT is currently ruling. ...and he can combine both if he opens his eyes wide. I am talking from experience.

exactly. but putting your eggs in one basket is not a good way to go about things. Diversify a bit and still achieve your aim.

The few guys I remembered that had admissions there had to change to the Environmental science program in Uni Trier or tried to at least. I personally know someone who successfully left the school. Housing is expensive and jobs are not easy to get either. It’s actually not so close to Koblenz, which is a much better city despite what the name suggests.

That’s not to say it’s impossible to survive over there, but it has its downside.

I am greatly pleased to be on this thread and actually read from the very first page

Quite educative and brings back a flood of memories. We thank God for grace.

All questions asked and answers given (sliding tackles and all grin) are great learning curves for all.

My summary....

Landed October 3rd 2015.....Digital Communications in CAU Kiel. Took the first lecture and knew it wasn't for me. Told the profs so and opted out of the program (was still registered of course and was attending the german class provided by the school and intensive language class with VHS at the same time (register with VHS in your city within your first year to get a good rebate (up to 50% off) you can select a start date months away).

Switched to Information Engineering in FH Kiel the following summer (March 2016), did multiple jobs while studying (Printing presses, Cruise ships, Umzug, Chinese Restaurant. etc. cry cry cry Man hustle oooo....days of 12hrs straight jobs 4 times a week and top it with a 13hrs shift on Sundays embarassed
I was actually doing good in school but learning the language suffered as I couldn't fit it in the calamitous schedule I was running (I did attend intensive classes later though).

Then I got a rude awakening grin grin grin, I visited my naija university mate in Berlin working for Bombardier at the time and immediately knew I was wasting my time with the lager jobs I thought was giving me money. I needed to look at the bigger picture. Got back from Berlin and applied to Allianz Technology in Munich for internship, I got in and all of a sudden was making more working 9-5pm (own office with perks, fantastic international team and exposure into the professional world in Germany) than i was doing working 12hrs (4times a week) plus 13hrs on sundays. All, while doing professional work and improving my professional profile.

I was at Allianz Technology for 1yr & 3months (finished my master project and thesis) and got 2 full time offers before I was done with my master study in October of 2018.


My advice, do what you have to do to survive out here (legally of course). Make sure you pick the right course and if you find yourself in a jam with your choice course, be open to changing. Do not worry about hustling, it is not going to be at the top of your priorities when you actually settle and draw those priorities. Especially if you are looking at the bigger picture. Work will always be available, whether in your city or outside but believe me when I say you will be alright and find a way as everyone before you have done.

Learn the language grin grin

Before you leave Nigeria or wherever you are based, set your goals (minimum and maximum), have unbelievably high expectations but also psych yourself up for the very worst case scenario so that wherever you find yourself, you would be mentally grounded to face the music and sing out loud because darkness lasts just the night, light comes with the break of dawn.

God bless our dreams and make our strives abundantly fruitful...

Please I'd like to get all the infomation on how to go about the admission process for and undergraute computer science student.... Which city and unversity can I apply to...
What should be my estimate budget...
What should I expect over there like the racist issue.
Is it all university gives a free langugue class
How is the accomodation there..
How about their computer lab...

What are the procedures in getting in.
Thank you for your answers....
Anybody can help me with some good feed back, because am looking forward to start next year, but haven't start the process yet.

Thanks to anyone that will give me some tips and legit advice...
