Admission and Scholarship in Germany (Part A)

As promised, let's start the year by discussing Germany.

Tag your friends, take fruit juice and unwind this thread🧵:

In Part A, I will discuss what you need to know about Admission and Scholarship in Germany, In Part B, I will show you how to practically apply and get funding.

Read the following general facts about Germany:

1. About 80-90% of the Universities are tuition-free.

However, in some states, you may be asked to pay about 1000-3000 Euros/semester, which covers student union fees and travel tickets around the state for a semester.

2. Most Msc students don't search for scholarships. Instead, they look for a block account of about 10, 000

Euros.

3. From the block account, the Govt pays you about 850 Euros monthly for Living expenses.

4. If you can find a way to get the block account, you have the chance of recouping your money back and much more because student job is around 1000 Euros/month, and it's about 20-40hrs /week.

5. Another method of showing financial commitment is via sponsorship letter. This letter is usually provided by someone legally working in Germany with a temporary or permanent residence permit and is earning a good amount of money.

This letter will be sent to you from Germany.

You will then present it to the embassy. So, if you can find someone who can provide this sponsorship letter, you are good to go. You can then hustle to take care of yourself.

This video explains how to get a sponsorship letter:

6. Germany is a result-oriented country, You must produce something. Else, you may not be released.

Ask @olumuyiwaayo about his experience😃.

7. IT-related courses, Engineering, and Health courses have higher chances of getting jobs after school.

8. You need to eventually learn the language in order to stay successful after school. English related jobs are fewer.

9. You have about 18 months to look for a job after graduation. Some people enroll for another Master's or

BSC if they cannot get a job. Once they do, they abandon the program🤣.

10. You don't need to contact any Professor to get Msc admission and scholarship in Germany, Once you come in, your department can even send scholarship links to you as an International student.

Bros, @olumuyiwaayo , please add to it.

In Part B, I will tell you how to get a scholarship for Msc and Ph.D. and the various types of scholarships available in Germany.

Tag your friends and stay tuned.

Goodluck.
