I wonder when it has become a crime for someone to air his/her harmless views. That is the problem with Nigerians. The guys is concerned about his future and someone is telling him that if he doesn't like it that he should move to other countries as if he did not see other countries before choosing to study in Germany. The story he just shared is everywhere on the news and internet. And someone is telling him to come up with a proof. Did I hear someone saying that Germans are not complaining? Turn on your TV set and watch Germans on Euro News and DW News complaining bitterly. The German parliament is even divided on this issue. Though majority of them welcome it but some of them are more concerned about the eminent dangers we are talking about here. I feel for those refugee fleeing their country because of war. My heart goes out for them. Sentiments has made some of us to want to dispute the fact that we don't know what this Arabs are capable of. How do you differentiate between suicide bombers and real asylum seekers? It will be absolutely impossible to conduct a screening to know exactly who this refugees truly are. No one is taking about religion here but the eminent danger ahead. Cindino20: 6 Likes |

bigzzz: Guy guy guy.. Drop links to ascertain your points. Stop all these.. Reports from , reports that.. I've been following this issue. I've not seen anything Syrians destroying stuff in Germany . And please don't drop links from random websites. But the trusted ones we know of internationally. You think Arabs are scary when it comes to stereotypes. I'm extremely sure you know what they call NIGERIANS abroad. I'm sure imaginations have eating deep into some minds already. Imaginations imaginations imaginations everything coming out fear FEAR AND FEAR! If you believe your life is in God's hands I'm sure you wouldn't bother much about this issues that don't look like will stop soon. |

victz: It is a crime when your views re xenophobic and is aimed at spreading fears based on false news , misleading information or just stereotypes...and the reason is that such spread of hatred as we ve seen in the past ( south africa xenophobic attack) often leads to bigger problem Which news.... The problem with you guys ( those sharing xenophobic views ) is that you guys are close minded And to think you guys re educated..and still ve such mindset is something else bros...Bonded by Dogmas (no critical thinking...just wanna believe anything you re told )and takin stereotypes to another level. An MBA student falsifyin news in this age to please himself.. Here is the link to what really happened. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/dresden-riots-protesters-in-germany-attack-refugee-buses-shouting-foreigners-out-10467287.html My frnd dont spread misleading information....The story you guys re claimin happened somewhere in dresden snd the case of arson is still been investigated ...Merkel was booed by the some far left supporters( funny some 24 yrs ago same pple did everything to cross the berlin wall in search of a better life in western Germany). And you my friend ...you think you know better than the authorities and you think the govt has not taken this into consideration? Or do you expect them to reveal their security measures to you...obviously you dont understand this country.. it is highly regulated. @Kingsleyemike Those countries re listed there because extremist have training camps in them and nt because they re arab countries..and the govt is nt that foolish they sure ve a way to keep track...maybe when you get to Germany and you see for yourself how things re regulated you will share a separate view. You can as well apply to Hungary or slovenia....Stop the hypocrisy...its the same attitude towards foreigners that makes the free education possible... Lastly I advise you all to drop your ego ....I read somewhere someone tryin to classify migrants...calling some assylum seekers and some intl students...we all migrate for one reason and that is to search for a better life how we acheive this maybe different but at the end we re all humans...if you dont drop such ego...you will be shocked when you get to Germany. Its funny how same set of pple who want everything to be free( with statements like this: govt shld subsidize accomodation for intl students, can I be exempted fron statutory health insurance) dont want the govt to help pple fleein war... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Obiwannn: Well, I wasn't making an assumption. The MSPE programme of the TUM didn't attach any points for language proficiency. You either fulfil the language requirement (by meeting the minimum language test score or submitting a document that states that the medium of instruction for your bachelor's studies was completely English), or you don't. No in betweens. Using schools that I applied for or intended to apply for, the same applies for English-taught post graduate programmes in Japan, and even for post graduate programmes in the department of mechanical engineering at MIT. Now, those are not assumptions. I'm not disputing the exanples you gave about schools that attach importance to how well you fulfil the language requirement, but I think they're the minority. Now, that's an assumption. However, isn't the whole essence of language requirements a measure to ensure that your English language skill -- or lack of it -- will not detract your understanding of the course being taught? And is setting a minimum score for language tests or asking one to provide a document certifying your language proficiency a way of saying that 'if you fulfil one of these conditions, the level of your English language is good enough to understand the courses being taught in this programme.' Afterall, the English language requirement is not a condition for one to study English, it is but a tool to study something else. 1 Like |

The choice of which language test to take is dependent on the individual. The fact that some people say one is easier than the other doesn't necessarily mean that will apply to all. I have written both (some more than once) so I think I can make a few statements about both exams.....but at the end of the day, it still comes down to those statements being my "opinion" My Scores TOEFL Test 1: 106 TOEFL Test 2: 107 IELTS: 8.5 Want to know my opinion? IELTS is the easier one of the two! My reasons range from the fact that IELTS is paper based and the speaking is usually like freestyling with ideas about the topic being handed to you, the reading is like WAEC passages where you can easily trace your answers to parts of the passages etc. Compare this with scrolling up and down the computer screen looking for answers and having to type answers to questions (scored 30 here both times) and listening to passages to remember everything they discussed when questions come up...etc So as you can see, I prefer IELTS and that is my view..... Meine Zwei Loffeln ist dass yyou do your homework and see which exam style gives you the edge, then go blast that particular exam. Eine Liebe P.S: your score matters.... the higher the better.....remember, getting admitted to a course is a competition so you have to put your best dress on and your best foot forward. 1 Like |

Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by Nobody: 11:15am On Sep 06, 2015 |
Not trying to look for a fight and I know you stated your opinion but did you list them im the order which you wrote them? Did you write TOEFL first and IELTS last? The higher score on IELTS can be atributted to previous experience with the test. You got better as you rewrote so it felt 'easier'. Both exams are simple to be honest. People not used to using computers may be affected in TOEFL that's just it. (That is of you wrote TOEFL first and IELTS last though, if not disregard) Improve your computer usage skills, it would be a walk over. Plus I want to believe that computers would be used a lot in school so getting used to it should be an advantage. I am not trying to encourage or discourage anyone from picking either exam, they both serve the same purpose, if you are not ready for either exam you will fail easy or not. pompido: |

Williamso:bro u didn't miss them becos of toefl/ielts u prolly mite have missed it becos of cgpa or lack of good motivational letter.I didn't apply with toefl/ielts and I waz admitted in2 3 schools including the almighty uni frieburg.a letter of proficiency from ur university department is all u need. |
Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by Nobody: 1:48pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
Lol, so did you review his motivation letters to know they are bad. Do you know his cgpa? Be careful of what you say, there is a level of respect each person should be accorded. You could have made your point without referencing the possiblilty of him having 'weak application requirements' nellyb24: 3 Likes |
Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by kilo4sure: 2:40pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
nellyb24:The issue is quiet straightforward in my opinion, I think with the exception of kiel, if a skool says u can provide letter of profficiency, that should suffice except for competitive courses where there are more stages in the application process. Ielts/toefl plays minimal role in the admission process for many schools, even for kiel it has the least score of 4 compared to other criterias. its' purpose is to show that u'll understand your course in its language of instruction(English). |
Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by Dam12: 3:01pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
I don't know why some ppl here tend to pick up on posts and read their own meanings into it without carefully analysing and understanding the intent of the person's post. Its obvious here that his statement is not affirmative, it's just a possibility and I don't see that as an insult or disrespect in anyway because what he stated can be a possible cause of rejection. Let's just stop this attacking behavior and try to get the true message of a post instead of raising issues pls. Motivation letters and cgpas might not be good enough just as we have strong ones so it's just a speculation and his own view with no intent to accord any disrespect according to the post.
