Nice Post. Thanks a lot.
Can I have your whatapp contact?

Immafrank:
Greeting y'all,

I have said this before but will say it again, Applicants with good grades at least 3.5/5.0 should endeavour to apply to the ERASMUS MUNDUS schorlarship programmes (application starts around Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec and deadline is Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb of the following year depending on the course), ERASMUS MUNDUS gives you 1k euros monthly allowance, they pay health insurance, they give you travel allowance of about 3.5k euros, some of the schools link you with better companies for internship, they pay your tuition fees because sometimes, it is always a joint program whereby you might do 2 semesters in 2 different european countries and your last semester in Germany depending on the course. please dont let your grades and skills be wasting, most of these scholarships dont even have suitable applicants for the courses, you have upper hand if your Bsc is related to the ERASMUS Mundus course you will be applying to because you get a grade of 1 for that criteria. Your technical competences and your multicultural competencies also count. For me, i feel ERASMUS MUNDUS is more easier to get than DAAD scholarship.

I could remember applying jokingly to an ERASMUS Mundus master course online then which is to be done in 3 countries (Austria, France, Spain). My CGPA is 3.22/5.0 by the way... I submitted all my docs online, because it didnt cost me anything to do that. They later mailed me after the deadline that my application passed the 2 stages and they scheduled me for a skype interview(video). The professor i was skyping with was part of the admission committee, after all the whole interview, she said i was even lucky to have reached this stage that they had eliminated many students and that with all my documents she was seeing, i am competent for get the scholarship. "in my mind, i was like what did i submit?, 3.22 CGPA, 5 month SIWES, 1 year NYSC and 6 months internship at a same company, No programming skills which is needed for the course, No publications, few recommendation letters. No GRE/GMAT, No IELTS or TOEFL". But unfortunately, some days later, i was put on the waiting list that if anybody should drop out of the scholarship, they will give me but who rejects a scholarship? So if my average grade and skills could put me on the waiting list. You could get it!!!

Also, most of the ERASMUS applications are online whereby you only upload all neccessary documents on the portal meaning you dont need to send your docs to the school, some do interviews while some dont. And some of these ERASMUS courses are only starting for the first time with a span of 4-5 years.

Here is the link for ERASMUS MUNDUS course catalogue

https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus-plus/library/scholarships-catalogue_en

There was a girl on part 4 of this thread, she applied to a private university in Germany with no hope of funding, she posted all her documents to the school. She got the admission but the tuition fee was crazy, so she forgot about it, few weeks later, she got an email from the private university that she has been awarded a Kofi Anan Scholarship (fully funded). Scholarship she didnt apply for but she said she submitted her GRE result. Everything is God's grace, so its not juss about the grades sometimes. So always send all your academic docs when applying to courses whether self funded or not even if the school didnt ask. There is no crime in sending docs not required by the schools- I'm talking about admission in general now not about scholarship. This girl's university was private and the course had a scholarship, hence the story.


Futhermore, I see some people confused about Health Insurance... You dont need health insurance for your interview, you only need a travel health insurance when you get approval mail from the embassy and AXA Mansard is acceptable which is about 23k or so, there are other ones too. But When you get to Germany, you will need another Health insurance which is a prerequisite for your enrolment and residence permit.

Also, prepaid courier envelope is important, without it, you will be bounced from the gate. It is the courier envelope they will use to post your docs back whether acceptance or rejection even if you decided to pick your visa up yourself due to delay, only use DHL, UPS, FEDEX for your prepaid envelope.

I wish everybody approval both for visa and admission.

Tchuss.

[ author=Eromose08 post=79837522]Hi Guyz, wanna use this moment to appreciate everyone here, since I joined this platform I have really enjoyed every moment. Your answers have really been helpful.

But I need to share this with the house, it has been bordering me, I lost my Original waec result, just couldn't find it but I have the scanned copy. Can I print that out colored and use as the original one that will be taken to the embassy, considering the fact that I still have to get the Waec scratch card. Please I need your advice. Thanks.[/quote]

go and sit down sir

Advice of the day: Do not fund your block account with form A most especially Zenith Bank. They tell you their exchange rate is CBN Exchange rate then fund your account with a rate higher than Black market/Aboki and still charge you bank charges. My one dollar advice run from them

2.1 is not a bad score, but unfortunately the school (or the program) asked for 2.0 minimum, which means if your CGPA is higher than 2.0, you don't qualify. You should have checked the school's website before applying, the information would have been stated there clearly. bear in mind that in German grade, the lower your CGPA the 'better' it is i.e someone with a CGPA of 2.0 is better than someone with a CGPA of 3.0, unlike Naija where reverse is the case.

UltimateTipster:
Please everyone help me ooo..... Uniassit just sent this now to me, that i am not qualified to study the course because i got 2.1 in my german grade system, when the school requested for 2.0 minimum. I am so confused now, and they said they cannot forward my application. What do you guys advice... Is 2.1 german scale a bad score?

Please guys how can I fund my blocked account easily without delay..I'll really appreciate your contributions

I can pay for you i think that is the fastest way

@Deustchemann kindly reply my q. Thanks

Tamax:
What a clear and superb analysis. You got my courage increased bro. Anyway I will get the BA funded by God Grace before the visa interview date but for the enrollment, the school already sent me the enrollment form plus other documents by post but I will have to return the enrollment form filled with photo copy of my valid student visa on my passport by post before 30 September to be enrolled. Only document I think i can hold along is only the payment receipt for that semester fee that's if i pay it before the interview date but there will be no enrollment certificate as valid visa is require for me to be enrolled. Why I am somehow thinking of the date not too close to the enrollment deadline with this visa duration issue of 4-6weeks or beyond. Seems the embassy might still end up requesting for enrollment deadline extension from this point of view or what you thinking? Thanks for your time and effort.

N.B: Check the attached screenshot on the enrollment deadline and others.

i did o and i got a mail this morning to be patient

MY TRANSCRIPT:

So I had my interview today July 1, 2019. Got to the embassy by 5:29am met one person but he was for Short term visa. So I was number one on the queue for Student visa. Paulinus then started calling....I attached all my photocopies at the back of the originals to make them easy to access....thanks to Nairaland and my brother that told me about this arrangement (NB: Don't staple them pls, use office pin holders to hold them). So I didn't have any wahala at all with oga paulinus.
Oga paulinus first checked in the short term visa people. They were 5 in number.
I was now told to go in for the interview. But before I went in for my interview , we were around 8 Students on the queue. Fast forward to me and Vo;

Me: Good morning
Vo: what are u here for?
Me: Student visa
Vo: Let me have all your documents
Me: Alright ma. Everything?
Vo: Yes
Me: (I gave her all apart from photo passports)
Vo: Can I have your passport?
Me : It's there with the documents (pointing to my International passport on her table)
Vo: No, I mean photo passport
Me: oh...I gave her 4, she returned back 2 apart from the one stapled on the form.
Vo: you are going for bachelors degree?
Me: yes ma
Vo: Have u not had your bachelors before?
Me: I have
Vo: Y another bachelor?
Me: I chose to do my second bachelor because of change in my career path. I currently own a startup business and this degree will increase my specialization in the chosen career and help me become an expert in the field. Again it will help me to run my company more confidently and professionally.
Vo: ok
Vo: Your email is.........(printed 2papers and gave me; confirm your data and sign)
Me: yes they are all correct ( then I signed on both)
Vo: put your 4fingers, right hand first and then your left hand
Me placed as requested)
Vo: Can i have your visa fee?
Me: (I gave her, she then counted and gave me a receipt of payment)
Vo: Alright. Lets start the interview now.
Me: ( for my mind nawaa oo...so interview never even started before!) Ok ma
Vo: oh you have funded?
Me: yes ma
Vo: which school are you going to?
Me: Trier University of Applied Sciences, Umwelt-campus Birkenfeld (NB: I was slow because she was typing what I was answering)
Vo: Umwelt-campus?
Me: yes ma.... that's Environmental campus in English
Vo: Course?
Me: Sustainable Business and Technology (bsc)
Vo: Why this course?
Me: this course will help me to build my business management and technological skills to enable me run my startup confidently, effectively and professionally.
Vo: Is the course in English?
Me: Yes it's taught completely in English
Vo: Do u speak German?
Me: No I don't.
Vo: What do u do?
Me: I own a startup business (I called the name and said I have my website and I have got it registered)
Vo: what is the company all about?
Me: it's an on-demand home services technology startup that connects individuals, homeowners and companies to their professional skilled workers.
Vo: Have u been to Germany before?
Me: No ma
Vo: Do u know anyone in Germany?
Me: No ma
Vo: Have u applied for German visa before?
Me: No ma
Vo: Have u applied for visa at all before?
Me: yes ma(Poland). Some years back.
Vo: ok
Vo: why Germany?
Me: Higher education in Germany is among the best in the world(Then light went off, she said I should pause. After like 30seconds, light returned and she said ok continue). Universities in Germany are tuition free which is extended to us the international students. Also Germany is among the safest country to study for international students and I will also have the opportunity to learn a second language which is German and interact with other International Students.
Vo: Why not Nigeria?
Me: This kind of course that combines Business and Technology isn't obtainable in Nigeria. Secondly, we do more of theoritical learning than practical training so it won't help me to expertise in this field.
Vo: why not Uk, Canada or USA?
Me: Their tuition fees are very expensive. I can't afford it.
Vo: what do u know about Germany?
Me: Germany is located in central and Western Europe and it's capital is in Berlin. Germany is boarded by 9countries. Coming from North u have Denmark, down in the south u have Austria and Swiss, to the East u have Poland and Czech , from the West u have Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands, if you go down a bit at the south-west u have France (She was nodding her head; mind you I was using this North,south, East, west something to kill time small...lolz but all were very correct and I was saying them slowly). The German president is Frank Walter- Steinmeier and he is the head of state charged with representative responsibilities and power. The chancellor is Angela Dorothea Merkel, the head of government, charged with responsibility of discharging her executive duties through her cabinet. Coming down to the legislative; u have bundesrat headed by Daniel Gunther as the president and Bundestag u have Wolfgang Schauble as the president that oversees the daily session of the house. The reunification of Germany was on October 3 1990(she kept nodding her head). Berlin has the largest train station and Frankfurt has the 4th busiest airport in Europe(at this point my head couldn't remember anything. she said continue. I then said German chancellor office in Berlin is known locally as "Washing machine". Vo said what ? I repeated it but this time in a very low tone. She said don't say what you are not sure of. I come say sorry ma with small smiles and then I scratched my head). Immediately football entered my head and I began to flow once more... Germany have won world cup 4times...1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014. They have also hosted it twice..1974 and 2006. The Euro.....she then said it's ok.
Vo: So what's next after your studies?
Me: I will proceed for my master degree to be grounded in business and Technology. After which I will come back to Nigeria to re-establish my company professionally.
Vo: Alright that will be all .
Me: Thank you ma(I wanted to leave then I returned back, please ma can I ask a question)?
Vo: yes you are free.
Me: please I don't know my fate regarding this interview because am thinking of getting enrolled for German class .
Vo: for me u performed well in your interview but the decision is not only mine but anyway u can go ahead and enroll.
Me: Thank you very much ma.

Security people come dey tap me for small choppings as I dey leave, finally I dropped small tin for them. They tried for me anyway.
NB: I came out from the interview room around 7:45am. When I came out, the Students that were outside should be around 30. Though some might be for Certification. By my own calculation, I spent around 30 to 35mins with the Vo and I was interviewed by the lady in Room 2( Her style of hair be like dreadlock). To be sincere, she was very nice and friendly.
*On a lighter note...I no sleep last night...went to bed by 11:45pm and I set alarm for 3am on my 2phones(imagine). U know all these witch people fit remember person on a day like dis. Anyway they no see me shaa. Na so Lagos people dey suffer rain? It dealt with me shaa. Lagos una good morning! Make I do leave una.
Una welldone oo. Na so my interview waka take go.
