It depends on the city. If its a big city you might get job. If it's a small city, you might not find job without German. Though its advisable to learn German before going, you'll be at an advantage. Plus everyone's grace is different.

Hello fam, please what are job opportunities like for people like us who aint proficient in german at all and are going for Msc microbiology in Jena? I however, intend taking A1 classes before travelling.

Are you sure about the bolded? My sister is a student in Ukraine, she opened a GTB dollar account before she left and we send money to her via the account a lot.


iPOD007:
No Nigerian bank will allow you withdraw foreign currency.

You can only deposit and transfer, You can never withdraw.


So just do all the calculations well before you deposit the funds.

Also, some banks allow you transfer all the amount in the Dom account and even take the transfer charges from a Naira account. Standard Chattered allows this.

For other banks, just deposit and know how much you can let go.

Cheers!

Hadampson has already given a good answer, let me add extra
- write IELTS instead of TOEFL, it's also accepted in Europe, it's cheaper (I paid 68k with MOD) and it's easier (I know a lot of people who have written both and they say IELTS is easier) and less tasking (IELTS is 2 hours 45 minutes while TOEL is 4hours). Just know the minimum band score the schools you're applying to requires and target a bit higher.
- Different schools have different application process. Go on daad.de, search your course and the schools that offer. Use the advanced search filter and tick "summer semester" because many schools only offer certain courses in winter semester.
- Once you've found the schools, find out the application process. This will help you plan your budget. Some schools require uniassist, some you apply directly.
- if you don't have international passport, please get one immediately. NIS have not been friendly recently.
I hope this helps.


teelaw4life:
Good afternoon good people. Having gone through the posts, I'm about to start preparations for next year's summer (March) semester seeing as I'm late for 2019 winter.

I'm starting the process from scratch i.e. Toefl, transcript request etc.

Can anybody please help me with an estimate of the total amount I should expect to soend throughout the application process?

I kniw toefl is 72k, transcript request is about 35k but beyond those, I have no idea of how much I might need.

I'm asking because I'd like to know what I'm getting into and how much I need to put aside.

Thanks in advance.

courier envelope from PH shouldn't be more than 5k. Anything above that, it's someone trying to cheat. Check other DHL offices or FedEx.
means of substenance is BA or SL or scholarship. Please go with one for your interview. For BA, you don't have to fund before the interview but you should fund as soon as possible to prevent delays in visa

MissNK:
Please who else got their prepaid envelop from dhl in ph. The price I’m hearing is not funny. About 8k something

2. On the application form, what do I fill on the intended place to stay in Germany, since I haven’t secured accommodation yet.

3. What is means of subsistence? Blocked account?
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 10:31am On Jul 02, 2019
No. Goethe Institute is the only official body that conducts the Zertifikat exams here in Nigeria.
allinall:
is there no where to write B1 exam here in Nigeria apart from Goethe?
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 5:13pm On Jul 01, 2019
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?

Application form for the school you're applying for. Without this application form, your documents will not be certified.

Please, for someone just going to the German Embassy to have his documents notarised, is he supposed to fill any form (as per the underlined in the attached image)? I cannot seem to find the relevant form talked about here.

please how true is this because I am yet to book due passport challenges though I have gotten admission for MSc
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 8:12pm On Jun 29, 2019
Then cancel and rebook. The embassy will soon stop giving dates for winter, no time to waste time.

HighPriest0:
But I booked successfully and got my reference number.
Just waiting for date.
Some people who booked before me have not gotten any date yet.
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 7:35pm On Jun 29, 2019
If you've been banned (I really hope not) then you won't be able to book appointment for the next 6 months.
If your passport has 6 months or less validity then you can apply for a new passport and use it to book your appointment.

HighPriest0:
Would it be possible to book another appointment successfully if my passport number has been banned?
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 3:59pm On Jun 29, 2019
That's strange. Tweet them your enrolment ID and processing office. Try and be a bit aggressive.

Go on twitter and tweet at them @nigimmigration. I had the same issue with the Port Harcourt office; for 2 months after biometrics capturing, they kept telling me they didn't have booklets, till someone gave me this advice. My passport was produced the same day I tweeted and given to me.


chiboy429:
Good morning all the ogas in the house. I greet you all.
Please I need your views and opinions on my issue . I am a prospective postgraduate student of the university of Bremen Germany, I got admission to study Msc environmental physics, my problem now is I can't book appointment for interview because of passport which I applied for some weeks now at the asaba NIS office, I have done the necessary documentation and capturing yet they are telling me there is no booklet to produce the passport,. I even tried to rub their hands maturedly yet the PCO insists that he understands my situation but can't help. I don't know what to do please let me know what I can do about this because time is really running out as the interview appointment at embassy seems to be filled.

Kindly advise
Thank you so much
Best regards
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 10:36pm On Jun 28, 2019
it's more than enough if you're truly serious. A1 is basic beginner levl; not hard at all. you just need to learn
- the Nominative, Accusative and Dative case ( also learn the prepositions that goes with each case).
- Prasens (Present tense), Perfekt (simple perfect tense) and Praeteritum ( Simple Past tense)
- Memorise at least 500 words for your vocabulary. For nouns, please memorise with the article (der/die/das) , it makes things simpler. For verbs, memorise both the basic form and the past participle form (partizip II) and whether the past particle goes with 'haben' or'sein'(the basic rule is that 'sein' is for verbs that signify movement or change of state). For adjectives, just memorise the basic form but bear in mind that adjectives are also declinated (just like nouns) but adjective declination is A2/B1 level.
- It's good to know grammer rules but don't focus so much on them. Practice by writing and speaking (even if it's just to yourself).


Kolombo88:
thanks for this wonderful insight, am just wondering if this is gonna be sufficiently enough for atleast level A1 before i depart for winter semester this year
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 7:59pm On Jun 28, 2019
not the Goethe school certificate but the Zertifikat, the exam is conducted by the Goethe Institute and is accepted internationally. Even if you attend the language course Goethe Institute teaches, you'll still have to write the Zertifikat exam to get the certificate that is recognised internationally.

Olasenie:
will they accept Goethe institut B1 cert as proficiency or the Deutsch int'l exam? Thanks
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 3:56pm On Jun 28, 2019
Learning B1 by October, assuming you're an absolute beginner, is nearly impossible. Plus Goethe Institute only conducts the B1 exams three times a year (April, July and December) which means if you want to get the certificate by October, you'll have to write the exams in July, which is not possible.
I hope you applied to other schools.
marisalfred:
Ok my people...that is how i got another admission today with Fulda university to study International Health Science...im happy at the same time im not. reason because im to provide proof of German Proficiency B1 before october 14th which is not possible for me. Please guys advice a sister what will i do?
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 10:09pm On Jun 21, 2019
Yes you have to, but each school has its own requirements. Some schools you have to go through uniassist, some schools you forward the documents to them directly. Some schools you only upload scanned copies of your documents online or send via mail. Check the requirements. And please read through this thread, you'll find all the answers to your questions.
Some schools insist on IELTS/TOEFL, while some will waive it in favour of a letter from your university stating that you were taught in English. But writing IELTS/TOEFL increases the number of schools you can apply to.

Feyishayommy:
I really appreciate your prompt response.
Do I have to forward all my documents to the school while applying? Including the IELTS result?
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 5:20pm On Jun 19, 2019
YES, precisely 8640euros in a blocked account OR a scholarship OR sponsorship letter from someone legally living and working in DE.

Read Part 4 and 5 of the german student thread. honestly, from what i've been hearing, i'd advice everyone to learn german (and get the zertifikat from goethe institute) before going over to DE, even it means pushing back your application. but Nigerians in general are not patient people plus we no dey hear word grin grin grin

Whitemagic:
Same..considering pushing mine back too. Which specific pages numbers did you read from the students thread? What school(s) are you applying to?

Hello Hadampson
I thought to share this here. For understanding the german tenses, I recommend this website https://deutsch.lingolia.com/en/grammar/tenses
Very helpful and explanatory, plus with exercises to practice with.
Also for those self-learning German and will like to know what level they've attained, take this placement test https://learngerman.dw.com/en/placementDashboard

After 2 months of self-learning I'm now ready for A2!

TravelRe: Nigerian Students In Germany..how Do You Survive?? by sassy92(f): 7:00pm On Jun 04, 2019
It depends on what you want in life. You need to consider standard of living; while you might make more money in Germany, you'll also spend more in terms of insurance, taxes, rent etc. Also getting a good job depends on your course, skill and how much German you can speak.
Earning one million as a student, hmmm I will not say its impossible but I will advise you to forget about hammering while studying (unless you want to abandon your studies which is not a good idea).

can you earn upto a million naira working full time in germany. also what can you earn in total as a student.doing.part time jobs in germany. can someone shed light on what the annual earnings can look like if one works full time in germany and saves a lot .

I've been speaking with an Indian friend who is studying in the same school I'm planning on attending in DE and let me share the information I got from him with everyone here.
Do you know why Indians succeed wherever they migrate to? It's not just because they share information with one another but because they actually LISTEN AND TAKE ADVICE. My Indian friend told me that when he was planning to go to DE, he was advised not to step foot in DE without at least B1 in German. He had to stay back in India for a year learning the language and getting the certificate from Goethe. He said he has met many Nigerian students who can't speak Deutsch and they are struggling in terms of moving around and getting jobs. I told him we have a forum here on the Internet (Nairaland) where we share information with one another and we've always been told to learn the language before going to DE. He said and I quote "Then why don't you guys listen?"
I've said my own you can process this information as you wish. Oh, he said as a foreigner, all the German you speak means nothing without the official certificate from the Goethe institute to prove it, especially when applying for jobs.
PS: if you are going to OVGU Magdeburg and you don't have at least A2 Zertifikat, it will be very difficult for you to get student jobs. Most of the people who can't speak German have to either go to other cities for jobs or relocate altogether. And this is not just coming from my Indian friend, some Nigerians who are there also said the same thing.
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 9:15am On Jun 04, 2019
If you have been rejected for msc because of your cgpa then apply for Bsc, you might get admission. How ever time is running out for winter application, so check daad for schools that their applications are still open or even better apply for bsc to the schools that rejected you for msc. If you can't make it this winter you'll surely make summer. Don't rush, don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself (be thinking like 'I must enter DE this year') and don't lose hope!!
mboyo:
Please I have similar difficulty. I graduated with a 2.33 gpa in business administration and it's been so hard for me to get an admission all because I have a 2.33 gp. Please what advice can you render regarding what to do, what school or course can accept this results as I'm sure there are people with worse results. And this can't be the end of the road for me. I've applied to over 12 public universities and they all turned me down specifically stating that my result doesn't qualify. I'm frustrated I wont lie. Please what can I do? Is there still hope for me?
TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 6:08pm On Jun 03, 2019
I understand your comment but It's NOT about getting dates; it's about getting dates that allow one to meet up with enrollment deadline. Some schools don't give enrollment extensions and it can be quite frustrating to apply, get AL and not be able to meet up because you got late appointment date. So please if you're awaiting AL and you have a close enrollment deadline, you can go ahead and book. But remember to cancel your appointment at least ONE WEEK to the date if you don't receive AL.

Obinnafrancis:
Ijaysexy.........sorry to say this but I have to be blunt here. Why booking for visa appointment when you don't have AL? Can't we do things right? If you had gone through Part 6 very well, I don't think u would have gotten yourself into this kind of issue. Up until early August last year, embassy were still giving dates and virtually all those guys are in DE now. Forget about the panic of some persons here. Embassy will continue to issue dates till late August(Mark my words).Persons that will get AL in July will still meet up with DE waka. Let's stop the panic!! Embassy knows their job perfectly well. They have been doing this job for years and it's not gonna stop after us. I will tell you this, no matter the advice u get on this issue it is people's opinion and not embassy's. I waited for mine till 28th of May before I booked. Ask yourself this question before you take decision; what if embassy didn't give me date again? Atimes we are the architect of our own problems.
Anyways, my own suggestion is if you don't get AL seven days to your interview date take the risk and cancel and re-book. All the best.

Some schools accept EPL (English Proficiency Letter) while some insist on TOEFL/IELTS. If you have the time and money, it's better to write the TOEFL/IELTS as it will increase the number of schools you can apply to.

TravelRe: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 6 by sassy92(f): 3:01pm On May 30, 2019
I understand your frustration but putting this information here on a public forum is very risky because a lot of scammers people will contact you saying that they can give you SL in return for payment, and the SL turns out to be fake. It's been said many times here that you should only use SL from people you know/are absolutely sure of because people have been scammed on this thread. So you can either:
-Try to hustle for BA money depending on your means/circumstances. You don't have to fund before visa interview.
- Find someone else that you know/are sure of to give you SL.
-Pray that your original sponsor changes her mind and sponsors you.
- Try to get a scholarship. Check daad.de for available scholarships.
Anything is possible in this German waka BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL O, DON'T COME AND TELL US THAT SOMEONE HERE SCAMMED YOU.

There's a filter for 'no tuition fees' did you use the advanced search filter? If you dif you'd have surely gotten tuition free schools. I've used this option many times

I still filtered it before applying. I felt very bad. I'm now in a fix.
