Eke40seven , pompido, weirdarkhitekt and the rest have done a whole lotta justice with this thread. I just confirmed my admission 4 masters in intl business & mgt. (Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences). No Uniassist stress nor sending of docs + Nipost/DHL wahala anyways, scanned all and sent, luckily enough was offered a position. Waiting for the hard copy to hit 9ja dis wk. But I have a dilemma. I currently have admissions for Masters in Luxembourg and Canada as well. That of Lux is €200 per session while that of Canada is $3-4k per year. Now, dis German admission is tuition free. Considering
1. the ease of visa processing & higher rate of securing Visa,
2. better integration into the system
3. Standard of education
4. Better welfare after grad as omo Naija

Which will the house advice me to follow?


BTW, Econs in Lux, while Rural dev in Canada. All taught in English language.

Advice needed from the ancestors.

Congratulations, I also applied for the same program but I have not heard from the school pls can we talk? Did u apply with test of english Language? Or just ya degree

weirdarkhitekt:


The way you seem to think is very disappointing, I don't want you to feel insulted but maybe try to sincerely reassess how you still think and adjust.

-Every sane ambitious person wants to make it big, big cars, a lovely house etc. Nobody wants to be mediocre. If you look at the state of things in Nigeria at the moment. The probability that you will remain mediocre even if things improve is high, if this country starts getting it right now. It is not our generation that will


enjoy the sacrifices we have to make.

- To make it in anything you do, anywhere in the world, you have to take risks. Big risks, small risks, it depends on your personal ability to take the risk, your threshold for risk. Risk means, you realise that there is a possibility of failure and there's also possibility for success. And you are ready to expose your self to the failure for the success you seek. The amount of failure you expose yourself to, is a result of your threshold for risk. I am typing this off the top of my head, I might not be accurate or comprehensive, but try to follow . Everyone who has done anything on his/her own understands this. It's a risk to use your last N100 to transport yourself to where you can make 1k, because your making 1k is not sure, but you will do it for the 1k even though you know you might have to trek home. You know you can do it, if you have to.
The people on this thread who have made enough to build a house, buy an SUV or Danfo understand this.
The willingness or otherwise, to sell your belongings to travel for quality higher education in Germany is NOT your decision to make for anybody. It is not really your concern if you have done your duty of sensitizing us to the cons of the German education hustle (which is all I see you do on this thread). It is the decision of the property owner to make.

What nevilbot, Diboss and Co have done, explaining the usual expenses on a salary of €2500/mo is enough. Explaining the difficulty of getting jobs in certain fields of study is enough, for any right thinking person to make a decision.

Don't take it soo seriously 'for your head'. Don't spend your time sending messages to all your German friends when you can sit down access the German environment, figure out a need that you can meet or skill that is in demand related to your field of study and equip yourself.

The rule of demand and supply is the same all over the world. If you can supply what is in high demand, you will be highly sought after. It is only when you don't have anything of value to offer a society that the society rejects you

SOME OF US HAVE IDENTIFIED NEEDS TO BE MET IN NIGERIA AND WE SEE THE POSSIBLE TO ACQUIRE THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE IN GERMANY, THATS WHY WE ARE HERE. SO IT'S FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO CARRY OUT A PERSONAL RISK ASSESSMENT STUDY AND PLAN YOUR JOURNEY ACCORDINGLY.

See as I dey write essay for nairaland on Monday morning. *sigh

Bro, nice write up, I gbadun you gan ni

biglord:
Well didn't see that. Pls also ask your friend about positioning. Don't just tell us what doesn't work also tell us what works. Coz I have people who companies are chasing after n getting their permanent residence was a piece of cake coz they had the right skills the companies wanted. Plus the one who was employed on the day of his convocation. My point is there is a better way ask your friend about that. Not just about how to fail. Ask how to succeed not just how to jump in front of a speeding train. Let him tell us courses that are no good to get a permanent residence and skills that can set one up for success. Thanks again

Oshey jareee, people should stop telling us the problem and if you'll do pls tell us the solution to the problems, thanks

Nosky247:
I know the point they are trying to make. All these argument started from the guy that want to sell his house and danfo. I'm still in naija but if I'm in his shoes, I'm not selling anything. I'll use it to get that money for funding my block account even if it takes me 3yrs. Rushing to germo is for us that graduated with no job in naija or very low paid jobs or for people that comes from a rich family who can comfortably support them in getting that quality education. I'm living with my brother now as a graduate. Teaching in a sec school which gives me stipend. So, my bro shelter, feed, and sometimes cloth me as a graduate. So, nothing you guys will say about my German dream that will shake me to have a second thought. I'm not going there to hit it big. I am going there to start living. So, if you are in my shoes, we are good to go. Still expecting admission from Jena, Würzburg, Bochum, and Bonn-rhein-sieg. Thanks

I just love your strategy of using what u have to get what you want...that's a very nice place., Av been reading a lot of comments here n fuming here...am in your shoes, even in your closet sef...lol

university of technology cottbus Seftenberg (environmental and resource management )

Hello, Pls are u talking about BTU COTTBUS because I applied for this course too and av they started issuing admission Letter?

biglord:
the best option will be for someone to drop it by hand for you since ur docs re already in Berlin n uni-assist is in Berlin, as for payment, max time is 3days. If u pay today u are fine irrespective of when uni-assist acknowledges it as long as u have ur docs there before the deadline. Also follow up the payment today with a mail to uniassist showing confirmation of payment. I think wt that u have all ur loosed ends tied

Oh okay, I really appreciate this, I think that's a brilliant idea..thanks A lot..God bless you

[quote author=DiBoss post=46497227]

it depends on where u are paying from. If you pay in Germany using automat or counter, it takes one working day. If you pay using a german bank through their online platform, it goes immediately. Mail from Berlin to uni-assist takes 2 working days.

Oh Really? I don't really know how true that *AUTOMAT or COUNTER* works the previous payment that was made on my behalf was tru a german Bank online platform and I didn't get any acknowledgement over 3 days. So am just confused cos I don't want the money to waste and even the Mail u said 2 working days, the same thing happend, twas posted from Berlin too(25th of May) , yet didn't mee Tu berlin deadline of 31st of May

biglord:

It takes 3 working days for uni-assist account to be credited, also uni-assist is in Berlin so u are good. Just make the payment today.

@biglord...thanks so much for ya respond, twas different in my case, a friend in germany paid for me when I first made the initial payment and I was Surprised that Uni-assist didn't acknowledge the payment on time(twas over 3 days), my document was posted from berlin on the 25th or 26th again, and I didn't meet the 31st of May deadline at TU berlin....so am in a dilemma of Making another payment to a school which d deadline is June 15 again(Wed), so am just worried cos I don't want to waste money again n scared if my documents will get there before Wed (15th June) if Its postd from Berlin 2mao

@biglord...thanks so much for ya respond, twas different in my case, a friend in germany paid for me when I first made the initial payment and I was Surprised that Uni-assist didn't acknowledge the payment on time until, my document was posted from berlin on the 25th or 26th again, and I didn't meet the 31st of May deadline at TU berlin....so am in a dilemma of Making another payment to a school which d deadline is June 15 again(Wed), so am just worried cos I don't want to waste money again n scared if my documents will get there before Wed (15th June) if Its postd from Berlin 2mao

Gooomorning Fam,

Please, I need urgent clarification, if you make applications fee payments Via Uni-assist Today or 2mao mornin( Monday) for application which the deadline is June 15(Wed) is it possible to meet up? Or how long does it take Uni-assist to acknowledge payment, and how long does it take for Documents being posted from Berlin to Uni-assist office to get to their office?..

Plismoll:


Thanks. I did not write any but heard some pple wrote test during their interview.

nevilbot:


MSC neuroscience is a research based masters with no link to clinical work experience like I tot before coming. All they train u for is lab research both useful and useless ones and upon graduation, dey expect u to toe the PhD, post doc line and become a prof jumping from one research to another and writing/publishing papers. Most of the research I must also say av no link to a developing country like Nigeria. The results won't be of benefit to me or my country for now. This is not a carrier path I envisage for myself. I don't want to end up as a lab rat white haired prof in one German institute.

Basically universities in Germany are research oriented especially in d medical sciences while uni of applied sciences are d one structured to prepare u for d work environment but many of us do not know that before coming over. So since I want a carrier outside academia for myself, I'm switching to a uni of applied sciences to get the needed training for clinical practice.

I just love this Write-up...thanks for the Enlightenment, it'll go a long way...

nevilbot:


I think technical unis are closer to the applied unis in terms of purpose but I can't be too sure cus I av not bin dia. My boss Eke40seven is in a better position to answer that cus he is in a technical uni. But u av to call him very hard to answer cus him fit dey under woman. I don't trust that guy one bit

Hahhahhahha...Lmao, my belle ooo, So na like this Sir EKe40seven b?....I hail oooo....lol

I applied for both Via Uni-assist, what programme are you considering to apply for?

Eke40seven:

Send a message to the coordinator or international office and explain that you have been taught in English all your life and your country's official language is English.
They might waive it, I think the school did in the past.

Thank You EKe40seven...I'll do just dat.

honourableseyi:



TOEFL (550 paper-based; 213 computer-based; 79 internet-based) - Cambridge Certificate (Advanced or Proficiency, min. grade B) - IELTS (min. 6.0) Native speakers are exempt from this regulation.

@Honourableseyi @unclejudaz@jaybmich, @Eke40seven n all, pls do you know about BTU Cottbus requirement for english taught Course, for example Bsc, Msc Environmental n Resource Mgt, they said at least (1)A bachelor degree in any related course, (2) a proof of english language Proficiency, (3) Toefl or ielts (4) exemption of citizens of U.s, canada, Australia, blah blah, and any student that completed his or her studies in the aforementioned countries are exempted from the test of english,,

So, my question goes to the No 2 of that requirement, Proof of english language: does it mean Normal profiency in english language letter dat we do get from our university that so so course was taught in english language or I still need provide Toefl or ielts...pls, explain, am just confused
