Please I need an urgent response. Do I need to print and scan my motivational letter before uploading it on a school website, or I should send it directly as a pdf document?
Secondly, please does official course content means transcript?

HI Guys, I was just referred to this thread and it is great.

Well done guys.


Please i have a question, i have checked a couple of schools offering my masters in Daad.de and saw alot of them free. Master in Maths of finance.

However, i want to ask of you can still get scholarships covering the stipulated living expenses and other expenses despite the fact that the tuition is zero.

Also i saw that most requirement is "above average degree', does that mean 2:1 can apply and have good chances of securing the admission?

Thanks.

You can still apply for scholarships for living expenses, they are often small but would go a long way.
A 2:1 is good to get the admission unless it's very competitive and had lots of applicants (which is unlikely at PG levels). To buttress your chances, have a great motivation letter.

Do you apply for the scholarships separately or it is considered with the admission.

And is there post graduation work permit?

[In my opinion, send it PDF.
As for your second question, transcript is different from official course content.

You may get the official course content from your school or faculty prospectus I think. Ask those still in school....

I hope this helps?

You certainly do not meet the requirements for the course you want to study with a B.A in English.

If you eventually apply, they will tell you that you do not meet the required ECTS points.

You have to try a course that goes in line with your B.A too. You can apply to the schools you mentioned for the cognitive course, but you should apply for an English course too just to be on a safe side.
Please, what’s ECTS point?

Please can you assist me with the format you used for the motivational letter....thanks

I posted this a long time ago on part 1 of this thread. You may find it useful.

LETTER OF MOTIVATION: DAAD AND GERMAN RECOMMENDED CONTENTS AND FORMAT
Thank God for the internet, just ‘type motivation letter’ on Goggle and in seconds you will have a million materials at your disposal, however, choosing the most appropriate becomes the problem or will I say evaluating all the contents on a point by point basis and selecting one which is short and simple. Those evaluating your letters have a lot to read and so they are only looking for some salient points in order to make their decisions. However, the mistake many make is that they dwell on a particular point and cover paper space that could have been used for other pertinent issues. This becomes boring for these guys, I can imagine the others on the panel dozing off and snoring over their Wurst and drinks before they even get to the middle of your page.
The recommendations are not exclusively mine but contain a synergy of what DAAD and also some top universities recommends.

FORMAT
Some write theirs like a standard letter as sampled below Format1
21 xxxxx street,
Postcode,
City, state,
Country.
Date.
Admission office/department/coordinator,
Department/course,
University.
Dear Sir/Madam,

MOTIVATION LETTER/LETTER OF MOTIVATION/STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Introduction

Conclusion
Yours faithfully
Name

Format 2:
MOTIVATION LETTER/LETTER OF MOTIVATION/STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Dear Sir and Madam,
Introduction
Contents
Conclusion
Yours faithfully
Name

For the INTRODUCTION, it is usually advisable you start with a hook or a story that will capture the attention of the readers, it would usually be a story that inspired your decision to take that course or be in that profession.
For example if the course you were going for is in music, your hook could go a little something like this;
" I have always had a strong connection with musical instruments from the first time I physically touched a piano at age 4, in my grandfather's house, I would play with it until i slept off on it, it was my favorite toy, it was interesting that unlike most toys, my love for them didn’t wane as I matured but became so strong. My talent was however brought to light when I played, my mother’s favorite song on her 40thbirthday to the delight of her friends and family and by that time I was already a skilled player in four musical instruments, I was age 12………..”

That above may not be absolutely typical but to give you an idea of what a hook should look like.
In countries like America, most schools will expect you to write a hook. It helps however to make your letter interesting whatever country your prospective school is. The alternative is just for you to dully go straight to the point in a businesslike manner and just state the reason for writing the letter.


For the CONTENTS, to make my work easier, I will cull this part from DAAD, with slight modifications here and there
“What is your professional goal? In which sector would you like to work after obtaining your Master’s degree?
In which way do you intend to contribute to the social, political or technical development of your home country once you are in a respective position? (You may refer to knowledge from books and newspapers as well as to your professional or personal experience. Some facts and figures are highly welcome.)
Why do you apply for the chosen Master’s programme? Which of the courses offered in this programme are particularly beneficial in pursuing your professional goals?
-Why do you think you are the right person for this programme?
- What knowledge and skills gathered in your previous education will be useful?
- Have you already gathered any relevant professional experience and/or as a member of any organization?
- How do you estimate your own personality? Do you think you are a good leader? Are you somebody who can make a difference? What makes you think so? (Emphasize your strong points, but be realistic.)
 Why do you want to study in Germany?
- What do you know about the German university system and the specifics of studying in Germany? Do you expect it to be different form studying at your home university? If so, in which way?
- Is there anything in Germany (society, political system, economy…) which you think could serve as a model for your own country?
- (For technical subjects) Is there any technology developed in Germany which you would like to apply in Nigeria? Which one exactly? Why?
- Are there any German organizations, institutions or companies you would like to visit or learn more about? Why?

Make sure your letter of motivation is well composed. First reflect on all the above questions, take notes, read more, discuss with friends. Then write an outline. Then write the text.
- Avoid all kind of platitudes, flowery phrases and flattery.
- Deal with your topics in a reflective and factual way. Do not campaign for your beliefs.

Your motivation letter should not be more than 2 pages for whatever reason.
Double check your grammar and spellings as wrong use of grammar and spellings will give a bad impression of your personality and may also rubbish your claims.

It's better to send it as a pdf. To answer the second question, a transcript is a document which shows a record of your grades of each course you took during your study. [/b]
