Hi guys, kudos to all the gurus in the house.

Please, I am in the process of evaluating my credentials with WES. My Unilag transcript was delivered to WES yesterday but that of my OND is yet to be despatched by my school. My questions are:
1. WIll WES go ahead to evaluate my degree while awaiting the OND transcript?
2. What point will I get for evaluating both or my degree only?
3. Peradventure my OND transcript is not sent, will WES go ahead to do the evaluation or I have to instruct them to go ahead?

Kindly give answers to the above questions.

Thanks and God bless!

This is exactly why dey deny we Africans especially Nigerians admission/Visa becos we do plead for it, we handle it wit high desperation, as a do or die affair.

They have a better educational system no doubt abt dat, so we going there to sch or work indirectly or directly boost their economy which is for ther own gain. Since we knw as a Nigerian we ve d brain to sch nd work anywhere in d world so y begging them, let them knw that dey cant intimidate u, dey can keep their visa or admission, other countries beta will seek for u.

Good day great people.

This may help graduates intending to apply to University of Stuggart.

It's stated on their site that;
Applicants must provide proof of their English skills: TOEFL 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based), 79 (internet-based) or equivalent.
In exceptional cases, a confirmation of English being the language of instruction during the Bachelor's studies can be accepted as equivalent to the above-mentioned TOEFL test. Please see the MIP homepage for a list of countries to which this applies.

On checking their homepage behold, Nigeria is among the list of countries and I was happy I gathered my document with excitement because I didn't want to write IELTS or TOEFL. I was about going to the post office, I just thought of making more enquiries from the coordinator about the program before sending my document.

Our conversation

Good day,

I will like to know if i can apply now for master's programme infrastructure planning‎ for Winter 2017 (self financing) 
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you.

Reply
Dear Sir,
 
there are two possibilities for application to the MIP program:
 
1. If you want to apply for admission and for a DAAD scholarship, you can send your documents now and they have to reach us in hardcopy by post on 30th of September 2016 at the latest. The admission committe will decide in November and you will be notified by E-Mail on the result. Please note that you need a minimum of two years of relevant professional experience after your Bachelor graduation date in order to apply for a DAAD scholarship.
 
2. If you want to apply as a self financing student (e.g. in case you have not worked for two years after your bachelor graduation already), you can only apply online after the deadline mentioned above. The online application portal of the University of Stuttgart for our program will be open for all applicants from 1st of December 2016 until 15th of February 2017.You will have to upload your application there in this period, no application by post is possible and all documents have to be uploaded in the online-portal until February 15th, 2017. No documents can be updated after this deadline.  
 
Please note that we only accept applications including:  
·        a final Bachelor degree certificate,
·        a final and official transcript and
·        a valid TOEFL or IELTS English test result in both cases mentioned above.
 
Applications will not be evaluated without these three documents. No provisional Bachelor certificates are accepted, you have to have finished the Bachelor studies completely and you have to provide the English test result until the deadline. If you apply as a self financing student, you do not need professional work experience, but it can bei considered as a positive aspect of your application by the admission committee.
 
Please check our homepage for details on the documents needed.
 
Best regards,
Elke Schneider
 
I sent another message.

De‎ar Elke Schneider‎,

Thank you for your reply. I am a prospective applicant from Nigeria with over two years professional experience. Do I need to provide TOEFL or IELTS Englis‎h test result? I also read on your website that no English test is required for some countries in which Nigeria is among (Please see attached).
English was the medium of instruction throughout my high school and bachelor degree program and I also have a certificate that confirmed it. Is this enough for IELTS or TOEFL to be waived for me?

Thank you.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Best regards.
Name withheld

Omo mehn that guy dey reply me sharp sharp

Dear Sir,
 
the requirement changed for the new session and all applicants will have to provide a TOEFL or IELTS test, the exception will not be valid for the intake 2017 anymore.
 
Best regards,
Elke Schneider

Another message from the coordinator

Dear Sir,
 
the following results are the minimum requirement:
 
TOEFL (min. 550 PBT / 213 CBT   / 79 iBT points), IELTS (Band 6)
 
The university is also thinking about changing the IELTS Band requirement to 6.5, but I do not know whether this will be valid for the application 2017 already.
 
Best regards,
Elke Schneider

victz:
I think it's time for me to share my 6 months experience in Germany(Tübingen) to be precise. Please, note that I am only sharing what I have experienced so far in Tübingen. Students in other cities especially the bigger cities may not have similar experience. Let me use the same format lmuhopeful used:


1. Education: Studies here has been really nice and very tough. I'm currently studying MSc in Management and Economics. There are only one University in Tübingen which is the famous/prestigious University of Tübingen. The University spread across the length and breath of the entire city. There is no where you will go in Tübingen that you will not feel the presence of the University. Our professors here are very brilliant and smart. Educational system in Germany is highly intensive. If you are going for any Economics or Finance related courses you have to be very good in calculations. In fact very good is just an understatement you have to be extremely good in Maths. Be prepared to see some Mathematical symbols you have never came across in your entire life. And also try as much as possible to learn/improve on your computer skills. Be also prepared for presentations. I have 3 individual presentations to carry out this semester. I did two last semester they were fantastic. I never knew that I will be able to get it right because I was not used in making public speech. Exams are really tough here and grading system here is different from what we have in Nigeria. Professors don't award marks easily you have to work very hard to earn your grades. The marking scheme here is absolutely strict. To score a 1.0 here you need 95% and above. In general anything from 2.5 and below is considered good especially if an institute is doing high quality research like lmuhopeful rightly said.

2. Housing/Accommodation: Living in student dormitory is cheap you can get an accommodation shared/flat for 208, 217 Euros etc in old buildings. There are a lot of ancient buildings here dated back to the time of Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Martin Luther the reformer. If you want to live in the same building Goethe lived when he was writing his poetry it is possible grin grin grin and also from 245Euros for accommodation in skyscrapers. Private accommodation are a little bit expensive but not as in big cities.

3.Transportation: Tübingen semester ticket is not encouraging at all. Stuttgart is just 30km which is less than one hour drive by bus or train yet our semester ticket does not even cover Esslingen let alone Stuttgart. In fact Barden Wuttemberg semester tickets are like that. You can only enjoy semester ticket in this state if you are studying in a big city like Stuttgart and semi-big cities like Mannhiem, Kalshure, Freiburg etc. If you want to get a VVS semester ticket that covers Stuttgart you will be spending close to 400Euros which is not worth it.

Student Jobs: If you are coming to Tübingen with the hope of getting a student job you better have a rethink. There are no companies here. Tübingen can be best described as a rural area. Getting a job in few restaurants around is extremely difficult. Tübingen is a university village where 2 out of every 3 people you see on the streets are students. Tübingen is such a boring town. Loneliness want kill me here ooo!. You can hardly find Nigerians here except for few Nigerian refugees. There are very few Nigerians here. There are also not too many blacks in this school. From time to time you can only come across 1 or 2 Nigerians studying here. But if you are coming to Tübingen with the sole aim of studying, I can assure you that you will get the very best of education here because Tübingen is a world-class university. Some of the best professors in Europe are here. An ex-president of Germany (Horst Köhler) is also here as one of my professors.

People:
What I have seen here is not encouraging. Tübingen is not a friendly town. People here are not friendly I don't know if it's because Tübingen is relatively a small town. I have been to Stuttgart and Frankfurt people are more friendly there than in Tübingen. Sometimes they will be looking at you as if you are an Alien from another planet. A friend of mine who is in Engineering faculty often complained of racism in his faculty. No one wants to sit with him in the class. No one wants him in their assignment group. I was lucky to have few German friends in my department that are liberal minded. They are more than nice to me. I happened to be the only black in my faculty but was lucky to have those great German guys as friends.

Food: Since I came here I have never bought cooked food outside. I have always prepared my own food at home by myself. It helps you to minimize cost if you can be able to be cooking/preparing your own meal. Their own foods self no dey hungry me. This people wey dey chop bread like say tomorrow no dey. They have different verities of Bread. More than 50 or more different kind of breads. There are African shops here where you can get food items like Yams, Plantain, Beans, Fish, Meat, Egwusi, Ogbono, Okra, palm oil etc, but they are not cheap oooo!

Babes: Hmmmmn! Like I said before this is not a friendly town. This people discriminate a lot. They even discriminate against other whites let alone blacks. But it may be a different experience in bigger/International German cities. So if na babe you want come here come find be ready to work extra hard for it. And also be prepared to face so many rejections you maybe lucky at last sha! As some people were lucky to find one in the long-run. If you are a lady, I don't really know because I haven't seen whites guys going out with the few black girls that are here.

African People: There are few Africans here are they are really nice. Some people will tell you not to get close to Nigerian refugees that are here. Well experience differs, Almost all the Nigerian refugees I met here are very nice people they see me as their brother and have always been willing to help they don't even discriminate on basis of tribe. They have been really helpful even more than the 2-3 Nigerians studying here. I know of a Nigerian student that did not drop his tribalism behind in Nigeria. He brought his tribalism here with him. Aduro is the popular name given to those refugees. But this Aduro people are very very nice to me I don't know about other Nigerian students experience ooo!.

German language: The language is as important as the degree you are coming here to acquire. You need the language to be able to interact effectively with people here even if it's broken/basic German. I will also advise anyone coming to Germany to get at least a B1 language proficiency before boarding that plan. Life can be extremely difficult here without the language.



Nice one. Thanks for the info. I recently applied for. MSc in Management and Economics there, winter semester. I am waiting for admission decision.
