Thank you for the reply
I checked some of the courses you sent. Some of requires having a degree or must have taken a course in Economics,spanish Language requirements Which I don’t have.

I will keep checking.




I just checked daad myself and found this.

1. International and Comparative Business Law • SRH University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg • Heidelberg
Degree: Master
Tuition fees: none

2.European and International Law (MEIL) • University of Hamburg • Hamburg
Degree: Master
Tuition fees: none

3.Comparative Law Studies in German, European and Chinese Law • Humboldt University Berlin • Berlin
Degree: Master
Tuition fees: none

4.Law and Economics • University of Hamburg • Hamburg
Degree: Master
Tuition fee: none

And there's still more! It means you probably didn't do enough research! In case you intend to do law alone, you should already know that it's a competitive course so you might have to pay. if not pick courses that are related to it

All the best!

For those people who do not want to go back to the begining of the thread and keep coming back to ask the same questions, Kindly read through this important message AGAIN!

Part4 is here https://www.nairaland.com/modifypost?post=58760455&redirect=%2F3941544%2Fgeneral-german-student-visa-enquiries%2358760455

I really have to thank those who stayed back to help even after getting their visas and despite their busy study and work programs in Germany.

I also have to thank those who shared their experiences right from visa journey to life in Germany as foreign students.


For newbies your German school search starts here https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/en/



The following steps will help newbies (Thanks to CassieV for the tips)


Most of the schools in Germany are tuition-free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town.
However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ;
1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month.
2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview.
3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after the interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.

Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process.
To search for schools, click on this link
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list
filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there.
Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are;
1. Transcript
2. English Proficiency
3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc)
However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows.
4. Curriculum Vitae
5. Motivation letter
6. Reference letters
7. GRE test
8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you.
Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book an appointment for that.
For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in Germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need an HND.

For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information from there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some require that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni-assist crew.
Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.

When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date.
You need these to get an interview date:
1. Admission letter
2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter
3. International passport data page(scanned)
Then your Full name and Resident address.

Prepare for your interview
Go for your interview

ALL THE BEST!

gedtalks:

Please can someone advice me on how to go about obtaining HEALTH INSURANCE.

I just received a mail from the consulate. They asked me forward my passport and Health Insurance to them.

thattallboi:

MrMaserati:
Please does anyone know of any case where someone’s visa was denied and what was the reason?

mariaattah:
Hello everyone, please did anyone use fund ba from Lagos n which bank?
My bank said I have to open a domicile account and I don't know where to get two guarantors that operate current account.

Please your quick responses will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Harryokoli:
Please I need help with accommodation information in Ingolstadt Bavaria

kebk:
Aside,

falsification of document,

lack of funds (No Blocked Account Funding,

sponsorship letter or proof of scholarship),

inability to meet up with enrollment deadline,

purpose of visit (what you are going to study and what you are studied or current occupation does not correlate)

Poor academic performance (if VO thinks you won't be able to cope from your transcript) for example, from your transcript and weac result, you performed poorly in Economics. Now you want to do MSc in Economics (forgive my poor analogy, but you get my drift).

Those are the reasons I can think of. Please guys, add more reasons for rejection. And how it was resolved/appealed.

Thank you in anticipation.

Obiloko4:
