WeirdinT:

I had my interview feb 18 with BA fully funded. Do you think I got a chance next week too

Generally, with what I've seen on the thread, AM comes between 4-6 weeks after interview. Though there are some beyond-range examples here like heybaby12 who had to wait for almost 7 weeks or so. Seems someone once reported getting AM in 3 weeks too.
The people that got AM this morning did their interview on Feb 1. That's exactly 4 weeks. So you might want to chill a bit. March 18 is a Monday, and that's exactly 4 weeks after your interview. You can set your mind towards that date.

All the best bro.

Do you need to renew your passport before application to schools? Incase they ask for front page like some people have been saying or can you use one that has expired in2015

obibanks:
Please, can one use one Uniassist payment to apply for multiple number of schools?

No bro. First application is €75, subsequent ones are €30 each. Even if it's the same school and different courses, you'll pay for each of them.
Unless you find a school and program that makes Uni-assist application free for applicants

Hey guys.

Is Leadway Insurance a good travel insurance to use and will the embassy accept? Has anyone used it?

Philfit:

I can't say specifically. But, It's not ideal to send an expired passport for application.
It's like giving someone an expired product for consumption
Get a new one and use it

modupejay:
Hey guys.

Seems Mawista and AXA Mansard are the most popular people use here.. Perhaps you should use AXA Mansard...

Congratulations on your AM

Hello all,
Been a while I posted well life happens when you have school work and German language class to balance. So just decided to give an update FROM MY PERSPECTIVE about life in Berlin Germany. Please it's not for generalisation, it's my own opinion so do not attack my post. Instead share your own opinion and we would all learn.
1) Try to learn German in Nigeria its way cheaper... At least do your A1 and A2 in Nigeria if you can. For A1 alone I paid 490 Euro here in Berlin. So you can imagine compared to the price of Goethe institute in Nigeria.
2) When budgeting for accommodation please budget for deposit ( kinda like security deposit). It's usually 2 to 3 months rent at most. You get it back when you leave the accommodation in a good condition after your contract expires.
3) Start your accommodation search as soon as you possible once you have do e your interview . Don't hope on studentwerk the waiting list is 3 semesters. Use your contacts join groups on Facebook eg Berlin housing, flats in Berlin etc but remember there are loads of scammers and time wasters on the prowl.
4) Accommodation in Berlin is expensive but you can get cheaper accommodation in the outskirt of Berlin. If you don't mind travelling for over an hour to get to school you should consider it. Also keep in mind during winter and strike times you might have transportation challenges.
5) Anmeldung is important but getting an accommodation that offers Anmeldung is more important. This helps you avoid necessary stress of repeating the process when changing accommodation.
6) Read the fine lines before signing any contract eg internet , phone, gym, insurance and so on. Contracts are binding here and hard to get out of once they are signed. Try starting with flexible short term contracts.
7) Eating out is great but cooking saves you money so bring you properly packaged Nigerian foodstuff when you are coming to Germany.
Make sure you pay your ARD fees ( broadcasting licence) , you can run but you can't hide from them forever especially since they know where you are thanks to Anmeldung. It is compulsory and just one payment per apartment so always discuss this with your potential housemates.
9) Recycling is compulsory and not hard though Berlin is dirty sha but cleaner than Naija by far.
10) A lot of generous people in Berlin giving stuff for free please join Free your stuff Berlin on Facebook. Please take only what you need try minimalist living, no space for clutter here.
11) Free food is great and cheap food is also great download 2good2go app tells you where you can find restaurants and bakeries leftover food for very low prices around you. Here there is no make we freeze and warm am for customer tomorrow. Food is served fresh and daily in most places.
12) Berlin is very diverse you would meet all kinds and types of people. Be friendly, be polite and most of all MIND YOUR BUSINESS.Try not to stare, Berlin is very LGBTQ friendly so don't be shocked. They are humans like you and might be one of the kindest people you will ever meet.
13) To survive in Berlin you need money, so hustling is very welcomed . Please drop your cloak of proudness in Nigeria because here there is dignity in Labour. Without German your job options are a bit limited to mostly unskilled labour eg cleaning, delivery, serving etc. Though people have gotten very good jobs without German so keep applying and don't limit yourself.
14) There is a drug culture in Berlin which unfortunately alot of our black brodas are the people selling em on the streets and it's quite open. If it's your thing well suit ya self. If it ain't when they approach you smile nicely and say No and find your way.
15) There are stupid people everywhere even in Nigeria so try not to get defensive when someone hurls racial insults at you. No need in putting yourself in harms way because you are trying to defend your blackness. A smile and a God bless you or Thank you or good old ignoring them does the trick. Try not to grovel in the mud with the pig.
16) Police is your best friend anything happens pls report to the police. Documentation always wins in the end. You get robbed or you lost something important report to the police.
17) In Germany you do effective work , meaning 8 hrs work is 8 hrs of work. No pressing phone or chatting with colleagues during working hours save it for your break time.
18) PUNCTUALITY please always be punctual 15 mins early always works. Pls pls no African time.
19) Socialising is a bit tricky here but it's easier if you join social groups there are a lot on Facebook . Also Berlin has a lot of activities you can join groups for . Salsa, bouldering, painting, cooking, fitness etc Soo much to do here. Best way to make friends is to socialise via activity groups.
20) Germans are very straightforward and conservative so you know our tendency of having no boundaries doesn't fly with em. So be subtle in your socialisation before they call police on you or report you to HR.
21) Make use of your student discounts find out places that offer student discounts and use them to save money.
22) Keep your music low and conversations down. Sunday's are noise free days someplace you ain't allowed to vaccum or mow your lawns on Sunday.
23) African restaurant and shops are available just google you would find some there is a big Afro shop run by Indians called Punjabi store in Osloer str you would get some Nigerian stuff there even catfish.
24) School work and exams are usually packed so study hard to make good grades. Most times they don't like story story just go straight to the point where you answer questions.
25) Be nice to each other especially your fellow Nigerians and share information when you have it. Quit your hoarding info habit, don't bring it here. Asian people dominate in most places because they have a good information network and share with each other.

Hope this helps I might not be here again until sometime later. Till then keep striving and wishing you all the best in your endeavours.
Cheers Ndidi (female lol don't sir or guy me)

God Bless you for this
The Asians and Indians are succeeding because they don't see it as COMPETITION unlike Africans. Indians have so many avenue for sharing information like Jobs... Africans rather hoard information....
It will get better I know

Good day everyone. I am happy to come across this thread.

Please is it a must that your documents must be certified prior to application and your picture must appear in your CV?
Danke!

1. University of Bremen
COURSE = Marine Geology


2. Ludwig Maximilian University Munich
COURSE = Geophysics


3. University of Bayreuth
COURSE= Experminetal Geosciences


4. Rwth Aachen University
COURSE=Applied Geoscience-Energy and mineral resources


5. University of Tübingen
COURSE: Applied and Environmental Geosciences

I really hope one will click, I am beginning to love Deutschland

Have actually seen a school demand your picture be attached to your CV.. If your school didnt demand it then no worries

For the certification..if u are sending documents by post then you need certify the documents(photocopies) you are sending

Your cgpa is strong enough to give u at least three schools from that list if u applied rightly

For the work experiences..no worries..my friend has only one teaching work and nysc work on his CV and he got admission..
