Chris you prophesied correctly oo. Just refreshed my mail, lo and behold the AM was there.
Interview date: Feb 18th
School: Georg-August-Universitat Gottingen
Course: Development Economics
AM: 22nd March. 1:19pm
I want to use this opportunity to thank the Almighty God and my fellow Nairalanders. This journey has really been full of bumps and uncertainties. Special appreciation to Mystique20, Chriswazo, erny11, Fabcol, Kuchiowong, Opinionator, mexzony, Deustchemann, dailydolar, Champion100, Lacazette1.

DemigodZeus147:


Yes,but baba this Waka na sacrifice oh.... Honestly, I used my last card to get a passport,please try get a passport it is necessary. Nothing good comes easy...

Chizzy4God:
Ask your school for enrollment extension, and once you get that send it to embassy via mail. So that they will know that you still have enough time to travel if they approve your visa(AM). Be fast with that ok. Because they always check the time before approving visa.
Which school are you heading to. When was your interview.

Your AM will come soon ok
BAYREUTH, they said they can't extend, very strict school. AM should drop on Monday but what's the essence with proof of funds?

Sobs

Goztino:


Thanks my brother. It seems that Geomatics is more employable than Geology?

DemigodZeus147:


It's IT naa, and with the current issues on environmental dynamics, experts in the field are needed.

mikkypel:


Please brothers and sisters

I still need answer to this

Goztino:


More reason I wanna do that course. i want to do a course which is highly needed in Germany. But I read from their website that they only admit 30 students in a year. 18 students in winter and 12 students in summer

pitapromiz:
wow Part 6 already, the Lord is good. I arguably can declare this thread as the Most successful travel thread on Nairaland. I started following it Since 2013 then in Part2. Engaged fully in 2017 got admissions then, but it was not the right time MONey been no they.
Pushed again in 2018 same schools same admissions, i had to cancel my appointment 1 week to june 6 2017 cos money been no still dey. but the Spirit said dont give up so soon. same day again i booked another appointment and got August 16. did interview without the money still. I kept praying for AM without funding (as it was a rare case of which some

people have encountered,

vinlyreeks:

I assume your appointment is for visa interview and based on my assumption

1. School registration?.. You ain't paying be4 interview unless in some cases where you ve to pay full or part of you school fees for tuition-ed Universities.. Your enrollment is when you get to Germany tho someone said sometime here that he did in proxy

2. Booking for accommodations no concern the interview or embassy tho sometimes the v.o might just ask you 'what preparations have you made for a hitch-Free beginning in DE' it rarely comes tho.. So it's not mandatory you pay for any accommodation be4 going for interview

Godsgracee:
I just want to add that at TUM one can enroll without being in Germany. I’m yet to apply for student visa but I did my enrollment after paying the required semester fee. During application, I sent documents for admission and enrollment at the same time. After admission (was admitted without interview) I was only required to pay semester fee to complete my enrollment.

DemigodZeus147:


Yes, that's more reason one needs to give his/her best, who knows events may play around to one's favour.

Apart from the passport thing, thier application is straight forward. You fit check Potsdam; Visualization and Geoinformatics. The Uni-assist fee has been paid for. Another program is Cartography TUM, this one offers the opportunity to study in 4 various countries for the different semester, (USA) is inclusive(imagine the travel history, one is to get) . The Eramus scholarship to the program just ended 15th March. Honestly, would have applied but the application program would drain resources :coz your referees need to send their reference letters to them by postal mail, you need evaluation by Uni-assist and the application documents to the program needs to be sent to them by postal mail too.

Goztino:
An idea came to my mind now and I want to know if its feasible in Germany

I applied to many Msc programs but my most desirable program is not tuition free.
The program is Geomatics at Karlsruhe University of Applied science and they charge 1500 euro per semester which is approximately 3000 euro every year.

Now, I don't have that money but I have a plan which I wanna find out from those in deutschland if its feasible.

I plan to get enrolled in other university that is tuition free and after one year, I will save enough money during summer holidays and also use that opportunity to learn deutsch upto B2 level and now reapply for my dream course Geomatics in Karlsruhe .

Is that possible?

Fabcol:
Get your transcript from your school(would advise you get the official one)
Make photocopies of the transcript and certify the photocopies( the certification can be done at the high court, notary public or the German embassy)
N/b- the amount of schools you are applying to will determine the amount of copies you are to certify but if all your schools are thru uniassist then u need send only one certified copy.

Deustchemann:

At last!
Thank God for you sis.
Go to DE and succeed.

We will join you soon.
Gottingen doesn't seem to like me.. out of 3 applications I've sent, they've rejected 2. It's well sha

Hello everyone,

Please I am on the verge of getting admission from BSBI Berlin for the winter semester but the fees for my intended program of study is 10k Euros after 2k5 scholarship reduction. But they are asking for 2k Euros deposit immediately I get the admission. Abeg help recommend Masters management courses from tuition free institutions. 10k Euros nor be beans. Please help a sister. Thank you all in advance

odimbannamdi:


Hi bro,

I was at my school last year to apply for my transcript to be sent to a school in Canada. I was also able to get a copy scanned to my email (i want to refer to this as unofficial copy).

So i am wondering, is it possible to apply to German schools with this unofficial copy as it will cost me almost 100k to send the official transcript to each school.

Alternatively, i am considering paying for the WES evaluation package that provides transcript storage and sending, so that my next request to my school to process my transcript will be a final one as they will send it to WES who will evaluate the transcript and send to any school i request them to.

What do u guys think of this approach?

CC: dolpaz, Eldeee

vivianobas:


This got me cracking up. It will end in praise

Deustchemann:

First thing is to know whether your school is using Uni-assist or not. Then, you can obtain your transcript from your department/school. Make photocopies according to the number of schools you're applying to. Take these copies to court for certification (this depends on the school).
As regarding Uni-assist, you can scan and upload original copies of your documents on their site. After which you have to send the certified copies via courier to them.

If your school is not using Uni-assist, then they'll either use online or offline or combination of both for application.
If it's online only, there's no need to certify. Just scan and upload your documents to their site.
If it's offline only, you only need to send your documents to them via courier (some can ask for ordinary photocopies, some ask for certified copies)
If it's combination, you'll upload online, and then send to them via courier.

To the best of my knowledge, These are the various modes of applications I've seen so far.

Hope you're clear? If you still have any questions, feel free to ask.

Kenechill:

Lol which ones did they reject abeg

odimbannamdi:


Hi bro,

This was very expository.

I was on daad.de and mastersportal (targeting schools in Germanh) and i bookmarked a lot of school websites for perusal later today.

How do i know if a school requires one to apply through Uni-assist or not?

is it usually clearly outlined in their requirements/application process page? so that i will watch out for it.

Thanks brov

Reichtum:


Thanks Dolpaz for this well researched contribution.
Just a little addition pls.

A white lady who happened to be a friend and mother visited me and was advising me about the misconceptions white girls(including germans) have about black guys.
According to her, most German girls are of the opinion that blacks are "good in bed". They may not have long term plan for you but only want to sleep with you.

Be careful when you come here that nobody ruin your life and future.

Goztino:


How will they ruin your life and future by mere sleeping with you? Maybe you mean ruining your life with STD.
Because if actually she sleeps with you and at the end didn't end up with you, it's not a big deal.
Even in Nigeria, everyone doesn't end up in marriage with who they sleep with.
Some people might just feel like having an international sex with no strings attached. It's normal

Deustchemann:


@bolded, get a company where you know someone, and make your school send your transcript to the company and let the person pick it up for you. Make photocopies and certify the copies. You can Use then for your application. Instead of sending transcript to each school

Champion100:


A SPADE.... Lol!

Deustchemann:


Yes bro. It's usually outlined in the requirement and application section. If it's not too expository, open the course website. You'll see it there

Champion100:



Please dear, I opened the application portal for TUM, I created an account but they gave me one strange numbers as my password ND asked me to change it within 7days, I kept trying and they were saying that my new chosen password was wrong (talking about this uppercase and all that) and I couldn't succeed ultimately.

Please how do I go about it now
I can't access it now and 7days had gone.
