Ndyoo: Brothers, If anyone think you are advising he or she wrongly, let them do as it pleases them. I wonder why anyone won't read the thread from beginning to where we're now. The young woman has really shown the stuff she's made of. I wonder why someone won't disappoint her with this kind of attitude.

Lolz Ndyoo... lets pray the next consular will be fairer and considerate

beebee5000:
Daad scholarships has been in existence but u need to be proficient in german to have a chance. I know of 2 students from ife on Daad scholarships studying Germanistik msc.

Nimakor:
I think the problem of GPA conversion and equivalency has been profusely adressed. Since you are still on page 101, I say your verdit is not so currect.

DAAD scholarship has many red tapes.
As Beebee rightly said, the language of the courses is German, although I think some of the courses are english taught. Other hinderances include:
1. Limited number/specialty of programs.
2. Employment status/experience; usually should align with your MSc pursuit.
3. Sign to return after studies. etcetera.

Ndyoo: Any peep that have blocked their account, how was the stuff? Did you use Euro domicilliary account because I am tired of chasing refrees like they're boss or something and besides GTB is not making it easier...

Nimakor, how far with your Sperrkonto? Any challenges?

Adexhat:

do u mean my verdict is not current or correct pls? want to know better if u've got contrary info. yeah, i agree wt u about ur points 1-3 and dat is wat it is for every scholarship. I am a professional by d grace of God which is also in-line wt d course and so i'm hopeful to get it (if it's God's will). But do they really compel scholarship holder to return after studies? kindly give me ur reference cos i've searched and couldn't see such clause. however, no big deal coming back if it's required as i'll be able to make my fatherland better.
danke shon

Nimakor:
Mein Bruder, I have not initiated the process. It is not as if I will meet up, my interview is on Monday. So, I do the transfer after the that...hopefully.
What is GTB saying?

WildChild00: There are various types of scholarships, there is daad.de and Kaad.de, the later is offered by "Religioser Akteure" Katolica church for christains, and both pays b/w €700 -€750 monthly if you're choosen.

Adexhat: yeah i've been there and av my doc. certified/authenticated. waiting for interview later in d yr or early next yr. also i didn't see anything written concerning d condition to return & it's not stated on daad website too. i should be taking study leave from work when i'm about 2go by God's grace.
danke shon

Adexhat:

u're right friend, did u apply for any of d duo?

Adexhat: yeah i've been there and av my doc. certified/authenticated. waiting for interview later in d yr or early next yr. also i didn't see anything written concerning d condition to return & it's not stated on daad website too. i should be taking study leave from work when i'm about 2go by God's grace.

Adexhat: To all our guys over there, pls wat type of jobs are available for m.sc student in germany dat are skilled (with professional yrs of experience) and wat range is d pay? then how easy to learn is d german lang.

Ndyoo:

2 referees, current account holders in either GTB or any other bank.
GTB bank takes 2 days to confirm and other banks takes 2 weeks.
Account holder must be active at least 6 months.

Justcul: @Nimakor, Ndyoo how much is Euro on d black market currently? Thanks in anticipation

Oga, you are going for Masters degree! and the last time i checked, it was research based. please read up a little bit. and stop being lazy
haba !

dolpaz:

Bros, According to one of our guys who is already in germany, Emeka..its advisable to buy your stuffs from Nigeria. Jeans and clothes are expensive. most especially phones and gadget. mind you, the prices will be in euros. also, go with alot of shoes cos according to him, there are no cobbler in germany. shoes and winter jacket are expensive as well. i think around 50-70 euros. so imagine spending 12,000 naira to buy a single jacket when u can get it for less at yaba or idumota.

Go with enough Garri and some food items as well. though i heard some kenyans inport stuffs that looks like Garri/semo.. its called griese or so.
you save cash if you like chicken and wine/beer, cos those are the cheapest food/drinks in germo. I also heard its better you go with an android phone so you can access your student portals easily.

As for Jobs, the first step is: do u speak german? it goes a long way to determine the kind of job you will get. also, which city are you gonna be staying. some cities are competitive and expensive like Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund and Stuttgart. you can get a good student job cos your visa allows that, but understanding deutsch is the key to getting a good one.

if not, u may end up getting a menial job, but it will be enough to sustain you. coupled with your blocked account cash which you can live on. 650 - 700 euros per month.

Watch ur spending. be mindful of pretty german ladies. (they like ice cream and chocolate, each cost as much as 20euros). if you are so conversative, you may be able to live on 200euros per month excluding accomodation.

My experience from the thread and mein brothers in germany..

please, our ogas may also contribute/correct me

Stay blessed..
Gemeinsam sind wir stark !

Sie Sehen in Allemagne !!
