Thanks boss, u are right , I noticed most of the schools accepting summer application are not using uniassist. meaning I have to send my documents separately to each of them consequently spending more money . ..... so I'm looking at getting someone in Germany , so I can send all my documents in one envelope then the person will send them separately to the intended schools . That will cost me less . what do u think guys ?

I Dont know why interview in Nigeria is very difficult some times,I had an interview at the German Consulate here in Dubai yesterday is was as simple as ABC the lady asked how may i helped you,i told her im here for an interview so,she took my form and relevant documents entered all on system she told me to have my sit,at the end she called me back and asked me why Germany,then i told her due to Blabla bla bla,i even added my Certificate of employment here in UAE and my business card,she typed it on system then i did my finger print,we started gisting abt Lagos Naija cos she told me her dad have a bizz partner in Lagos i paid my visa fee,Then I kalas,If you are applying for Msc degree they dont question you that much but as for those applying for BSC or Diploma courses,they ask dem so many questions cos some of them cant even express themselves and not everyone of them speak English here,they have to be very sure if he/she is matured enough for the journey,the interview is not as tensed as Naija own o,cos the interviewer herself gan dey give those who where interviewed b4 me some expo.

Hello.guys...
Please I want to apply for MSc again as my first application didn't work out (just got informed) . I went thru Daad but the schools I saw didn't seem to be accepting applications now for summer even when daad claim they have summer session. I saw Rhine Wahl, university of applied sciences bremerhaven, university of Flensburg etc. Do anyone have any school currently accepting applications for summer ie March/April 2016? I want to apply.
Thanks for ur anticipated response

owuzo:
Use daad.de or study-in.de to search for schools, its easy. u can even specify things like location of study and language of study

For those asking about the new checklist being used by the embassy, I believe the checklist below is what is being referred to. Arrange exactly as numbered:

Original Documents
1. Admission letter
2. Proof of financial means
3. Birth certificate or declaration of age
4. School - Degree certificates

Photocopies - Two sets: one behind each application form
1. Copy of the passport data page
2. Admission letter
3. Proof of financial means
4. Birth certificate or declaration of age
5. School - Degree certificates

At the back of the application forms
1. Signature
2. date of the day of application
3. Phone number
4. E-mail address

Pointers:
1) For "At the back of the application forms", the signature and other information should be at the back of the questionnaire you fill to check if you're a terrorist. Oh, and this questionnaire, and the application form, should be stapled together. With the application form coming first.
2) Arrange the documents in three sets; original documents followed by the two photocopies.
3) About the biographically old document, for mine, I included my school leaving certificate (waec) under "school - degree certificates", so this covered for it. I would believe those applying for MSc and B.Sc. would at least have this document, if not, use any old identification document you have.

Disclaimer: The above checklist and included pointers was what I used to arrange my documents, and what I submitted at the embassy when I had my interview early in July, without complaint or corrections, with regards to the documents provided or arrangement. It is by no means an indication of the document in use currently, until confirmed by those who recently had their interview. Being that as it is, I am not liable if this checklist is now obsolete.

Also worthy of note is the fact that we are meant to be helping each other on this forum, not taking unnecessary jabs at each other. If you feel an information does not suit you, feel free to ignore it, free of charge. Unnecessary retorts stay derailing this thread, and may instill unfounded fears in the heart of 'newcomers', 'mo gbo mo ya' readers and ghost readers who refuse to join in. The notion that because one thing does not work for you means "it does not work", is a fallacy of hasty generalization. One mans food is after all another mans poison. Let the advice given here serve as guidance, because as it stands, it is definitely not compulsory. I believe except you're here, and you happen to be excessively underage (which I doubt), you're of age to know right from wrong. Let your intuition guide you.

iyke20024:
You could try. It will be forwarded to their HQ though.

I tried and they could do it, but the lady told me they will send to Lagos. Since I was going to Lagos, I just told her I will do it in Lagos. I just completed the form I already got from the bank office, type a letter and photocopy my document (Go with original also, sometimes they want to confirm).

So HQ would be faster and you could even know immediately if there would be issues (If the boss is available or on seat)

There should not be.

Now for any issues call this lady from HQ.. or send an email to verify from HQ. Useful Contact below

Joysmart:
If you're not in Lagos locate the Npc head office in your state
Of residence go there with 2 passport photographs, Affidavit of age preferably sworn on your behalf by an older family member eg mother father brother sister aunty uncle etc.
And then a valid means of identification (international passport, national id or drivers license)
Price varies from state to state

Obviously, most of these apps are for other countries. Here are my 10 apps for Nigeria

1. Tinder : are you new to a town and want to hook up with new friends? This app links to guys and girls within 150km from your location utilizing your GPS location.

2. FRIDGE CHECK & RECIPE FINDER: tired of eating the same food again and again? Open your fridge, note the foodstuffs in there, type them into the apps and you receive various different recipes to try.

3. CAAST: come across a link on your phone you want to open on a laptop or another phone? Simple share via coast.

4. TVMC: watch any movie, TV series, football match, anime or cartoon ever created.

5.Light – Answering Engine: when even Google can't answer your questions

6. ADAWAY: There be no ads while browsing.

7. WEAK CONTROL: mirror your phone's screen to any laptop browser via Wi-Fi

8. BREAKFREE AND FOREST : addicted to your phone? There's an app for that.

9. AIRDROID: need I say more?

10. INGRESS: only Homo Superior can understand this app. However, when you evolve to that level, you can't stop using it.

Eke40seven:
I'm sure you are preparing for summer. Firstly, you don't limit yourself to such courses which are not even very well available in Winter even talk less of summer.
Just cast your net wide, you are not applying for courses like economics and the likes that are readily available remember?
When you use DAAD, filter the search to "no tuition".
Again, don't limit yourself!
This thread dey fly @ the speed of light o!

Eke40seven:
07/08, you know the very tall guy Longe and also Bolu in EE? I was in same room with the latter, we were in same set but my faculty is at Environmental Sciences. We were always stuck at the school gate you know and hardly venture deep into the main campus except when we had 'borrowed' courses in your faculty or BBQ nights and gigs or hall weeks at Moremi...

adebasket97:
only if you studied English Language, not sure though and yes its compulsory you do it before applying if youre not exempted by the school/faculty

adebasket97:
morning sir, drop your email again o

Obiwannn:
bros, 159? u are lucky o...when boys de see 300EUR for HH

Yeah, u can use Form A.
ALL CREDITS GO TO OBS3RVER
Yes I used Form A, boss. You can use it to pay for almost anything, as long as you have your admission letter, and other supporting documents.

Documents you would need:
1) Admission letter
2) Letter sent to you by the bank containing account details
3) Any other letter (e.g accommodation offer letter) which must state that you were given accommodation in so so so place, and this usually comes included with account details. If it comes separately, attach it to the former.
4) Photocopy of your passport data page
5) NYSC discharge certificate
6) B.Sc. Certificate
7) Letter authorizing the bank to debit your account for the equivalent of the Euro you want to transfer.

Please note, all these should be copies.

The process:

The first step is to approach the bank you want to use (I'd advice you carry your documents with you). When you get there, you would tell them you want to transfer some money to a foreign country for school purposes. Show them your admission and the letter from the bank in Germany. Some of them would tell you that it cannot be done, but you should insist that it can, and ask them to inquire for you from someone else (they initially told me it could not be done in the first two banks[ Access and GT bank] I went to, when I insisted, the ladies in both places inquired from their superiors, and told me it's possible)

The second step is when you want to transfer. When you get there, they would give you a Form A to fill. You should fill this carefully and neatly please as it is going to CBN. That, along with other documents, is what they would use to bid for Euro for you.
Depending on the bank, they would also give you an international funds transfer form, where you would fill the account details, as there is nowhere on the Form A to fill this (at least there was nowhere to fill account details on mine, so I used the international funds transfer form).
I filled this Form A, the international funds transfer form, and submitted the above listed documents, and when they checked and saw everything was in order, they told me I could go, that it would be treated.

The next day (because I went there late, like around 1pm, so they could not bid for Euro for me at CBN again that day) I received debit alerts for the money, plus charges. I went to the bank the next day to collect the Telex copy confirming the transfer.

They would have sent this Telex copy eventually, but if you need it urgently and if you need to confirm payment, you should go and request for it. I went to request for mine, and the branch manager sent an email to the head office requesting for it. They sent it to my email under 1 hour.

Word of advice: if you can use the headquarters of the bank, it would make the process smoother (though this is not compulsory, you might as well collect the number and email address of the person that would attend to you, and follow up).

Banks you can use:
Access bank, GT bank, FIDELITY (I personally went to inquire about these two, and I am 100% sure it can be done in any of them). Others mentioned on nairaland are First bank and Union bank.

Bank I used:
I used access bank, because they convinced me they would take just two days to initiate and complete the transfer, this proved to be true. With regards to charges on the transfer, Access bank charged the following:

Offshore charges: NGN 2500
Swift charges: NGN 2500
Manual handling charges: 0.5% of principal sum
Vat: 0.5% of manual handling charges ( I think this should be 5% and not 0.5%, I can't recollect. It's not much at all, it was not up to 50 naira for the money I transferred)

Principal sum in this case = xYZ Euros

Please note, the charges may vary from bank to bank, please inquire about their charges before you proceed. Generally, charges that have 1%, and above, for manual handling charges, should be avoided.

NB: I would not advice you transfer any money for WG from Nigeria, get there before you pay!

Thanks bro.. Winter 2016 ke. That was a typo error Sir. I already modified it. Am for #TeamWinter2015 Sir.

XpensiveT:
Interview done ...it was superb. The chinko-german lady wasn't around. So i was interviewed by some1 else. That pretty babe wey come Goethe two weeks ago to talk abt visa processing nd all.

As we dey waka go her office, as a sharp guy..i said "good to see u again ma'am" nd she asked where we met b4. I told her at the Goethe institute nd she said "Oh! People like u really want to study in Germany". As we enter her office, she tell me make i sit down as she sharply type some things on are computer. I was very relaxed. Nd some minutes later, she burst out d first question. What is the name of your school and what program do u wanna study? I yarn her sharply. All d questions she asked was exactly dsame questions we all know.

I answered all her questions perfectly. She asked abt d city my school is located, oh boi, come see as dis oyinbo dey smile..me wey don sabi Freiburg pass my hometown now sef. I answered d question nd she no even bother to ask me what i know about Germany.
Also, when she asked about why i want to study the program, i yarn her stuffs so tey she skipped d next question wc is relationship btw my MSc nd BSc.

Again, dis lady ask me say make i mention some countries bordering Germany.. D style i use answer d question bad gan. I told her Germany is bordered by Denmark to d North, Poland nd Czech republic to d east, Austria nd Switzerland to d south, France nd Luxembourg to d south-west, Belgium nd Netherlands to d north-west. Dis babe(VO) was impressed ehn.. She said u really know alot. She no bother to ask me to mention d German state bcoz she don knw say i go yarn her d states with their capitals .

Where i con turn her head na when she ask me why i choose to study in Germany nd not other countries. God bless Eke40seven oo. Na his format i download for d babe. She jes dey nod her head like say i dey play Reekado Banks song for her

She asked about my sponsor too. She con change face small when she dey ask abt my sponsor...i don make up my mind say i no go lie. I tell her say na my mama dey sponsor me nd told her my mum business too.

Na so we end d interview oo. She tell me say make visa processing take 4-6weeks. Say make i go fund my account as soon as d deutsch bank send my account details. Na so she talk say make she see me off oo..i no bliv am. I was surprised tho. We jes dey chat dey go. As we reach d door downstairs, na so i yarn her one correct german sentence "Haben Sie ein schönes Tag" she smiled nd replied "gleichfalls Ihnen".

As i con dey comot d embassy, i jes dey remember say she no ask me some questions wey i don get sure answers for. E pain me say she no ask oo, Lol .

My advice: prepare very well nd don't ever get tired of reading ur planned interview answers. Read it like 2times a day nd thank me later.

My maximum respect goes to dem ogas of d house @Eke40seven @Dolpaz @Obiwannn @Oye50 @Hollaytan nd some other ogas i couldn't mention. U guyz are d best. God bless u all

#Maximum Respect #Danke schön
