kelly4top: pls i intend coming coming to germany next yr. Pls can i have ur details like email so i could ask vital details before concluding.

Jejet what you are saying is what our professors have been advising us of also. I am studying Electrical Engineering and Information technology but the programing courses are just too much. C-programing, Real time programing, c++, object oriented programing,processor/chip programming, etc are to be covered before we graduate and when i asked naija guys in final yr why programing languages just full the course outline they said Germans are lacking programmers. Are you already studying in Germany? My hostel mate just graduated last 2 weeks and has gotten a job. The company asked him to tell them how much he wants to collect.

When I first came to Germany, coping with their education system was not easy at all cos it was too high for me. Engineering is 5 yrs in naija here it's 3 years so it means in 100 Level, you will be doing what 300 Level naija guys are doing. so guys pls prepare urself and brush up before coming or else u wont like the experience.

But the good news is that I am now coping and have started blending with their high system. Before when I am in class, professor go dey teach e be like say na swahili he dey speak i go dey wonder weda i go school for Nigeria before i come here abi wetin dey happen. So I picked up the challenge, went to library, borrow books and always read ahead of the professors and reduced my sleep and YouTube lecture things helped too( e dey hard to see lecturer here. almost all na prof) so right now, i dey cope well. Before you come here, do some revision if na Engineering you wan come read, try revise ur Engineering mathematics and learn some programming language cos you cant escape it here.

Germany is good and off course you know is better than Nigeria.

Hi,congtrats on your admission. Which month did you send your application documents? I sent mine in mid may to two schools (not through uni-assist though). I sent them directly to the schools. I keep checking my status online but nothing changes. someone said it takes between two to three weeks to get a response. is that true? how long before you got the admission e-mail?

Bwave:
I sent my application in April and I got the email on May 28.You don't have to worry if the deadline for any of the applications has not elapsed. You can also call each school on phone to know the status of you application ( have your application number with you, when contacting them). I called the school in my own case, and that was when I was told that my application had been forwarded to uni-assist, because I also sent the application directly to the school. I had to send an email to uni-assist, they acknowledged the receipt of my application from the school and instructed me on how to make payment. Good luck.

Bwave: @jejet&topeajis, pls i need you candid advice on this.I would really love my family (wife and two kids) to be with me during my studies in Germany. What do I do now, should I process their own visa at the same time? Or should I process mine first and theirs later?

Dshegzy: pls
can i renew my short stay visa in germany?

la'success:


Do you have a genuine reason for extending your short stay visa? Yes, you can but you will have a strong reason for the extension....

Bwave:
Exactly. Good luck too you and your brother.

ferdimako:

Yeah, he got admitted to a University already (that is being delayed although he must send them his hard copies of his documents by June 21 if he is interested) but he's awaiting the more important one this June.

British Council is vexing me right now! No IELTS Notice, no Speaking session date.

beebee5000: Hello house, i was selected among those who will enjoy this years scholarship to learn German language. My sponsor said he would send me 'German declaration of sponsorship'.
And the school will also send their own letter, but i need to get something more straight. about the health insurance, the school already has that cover as it is entailed in the scholarship.
Do i still need another health insurance? Do i have to pay for my flight or just book them? which is more better pls i need replies, the language course is just 7weeks and its starting aug. i dont want to miss this. Cause i also want to do my Msc. in Germany after this.
I have a Neco certificate, hope i can make use it?

Bwave:

I'll advise your brother to hold that one down while waiting for the more important one.Try and contact British Council if your date is june 8, because I got my notice 2days ago and my speaking session is on june 3.
