How to Apply to a German University as an International Student (The Beginners Guide)

[@oluwapelumiopeyemi4102]

Thank you so much ma'am for this video. I learnt a lot. I'm at the enrollment stage in my application but I seem completely lost right now. After going through this video, I believe the most important thing for me now should be booking my visa appointment. My program begins in October. I am hoping a state government's letter of introduction would help hasten my call up to the embassy. Also, I believe getting my student health insurance is very important. I stumbled on your page while on KZbin searching for a clue on how to go about this. You also spoke briefly about the possibility of a sponsorship letter from a friend or family who resides in Germany but didn't dwell much on the subject. Clearly, I do need your help on quite a number of things ma'am. I would be eternally grateful if you could help me navigate my enrollment and visa application process, even at a fair fee. Grateful for your anticipated prompt response in this regard ma'am. Thank you.

[@simply_jennie]

Hi Oluwapelumi, unfortunately I don’t offer services like that cause I am not an expert, 1. I can tell you though that if you are enrolling for a programme starting in October you should have already applied for your study visa as processing takes a year(minimum) the process might be expedited if you have your blocked account ready you can send an email with evidence of the full blocked account amount and the confirmation of your visa application to the embassy, a letter from the state govt. office might not be much help at the German embassy especially for a study visa. 2. You need health insurance to enrol for studies in Germany as that is a part of the documents requested at enrolment however please inform your insurance company that you are not yet in Germany via email.

Hi Jennie, thank you for the information, It was very informative. I was planning to come to Germany to teach English while I study the language. I wasn't Planning to go to University , but after watching your video am thinking maybe I should come and do my Masters Degree. I have one question for you though? Are you studying the German Language and if no, why not? Oh and where in Germany are you living now? Are you still in Munich?

[@simply_jennie]

Yes I am actively studying the German language both at the university and privately. I don’t know about „Teaching English“ in Germany as the German educators I have met are bilingual anyways so the opportunities there might not be a lot. No, I no longer live in Munich, I am about an hour away from Munich so close enough

[@dahirufaruk]

I am a big fan of your videos since i started watching you i have been focusing on only you. 1.my first question is how do i transfer money from my bank to blocked account can our banks like gt bank eco bank handles that 2. Do i get a refund after crediting my blocked account if i fail the visa interview i know i will but how ? 3. Finally is there an amount of money paid to book for my visa appointment or or interview

[@victorolatunbosun3841]

Hi, very informative video. Thank you ! Do I need to have all the documents ready before starting applications to the school for admission & also before applying for visa appointments? Thank you again.

[@simply_jennie]

Hello, ideally yes you do…start with your transcripts, certificates and the English proficiency test as they are the hardest to get especially if you are applying from Nigeria. For the visa application the processing time for category B is 1.5 years(if you are in this bracket, it’s best to apply as soon as you start your application to universities), if you have a first class or scholarship it’s less than a month(if you are in this category wait till you have your blocked account sorted and have a few months before resumption) Hope this helps!

[@williamsyeboah4268]

Hello. Please can you share more details on how to get a sponsorship letter as a proof of funding?

[@simply_jennie]

Hi, sure. A sponsorship letter is typically given by a sponsor(a family member or friend) in Germany and Ideally, the sponsor's monthly net income should be well above the student's monthly requirement of €934. A safe benchmark could be a net income of at least €2,000 to €3,000 per month, depending on the sponsor's own living costs and commitments.

[@uchechianyanwu3460]

Thank you so much for this video. It was amazing I'm looking to apply to TUM as well so I would really appreciate it if you could speak more on the essay requirements and the Uni pass grading system. Thank you

[@simply_jennie]

I structured my TUM entrance essay similar to a research paper. It included; A. Abstract B. Introduction C. Literature review D. Methods E. Results F. Conclusion G. References Unfortunately I don’t have it anymore. The Uniassist/ unipass grading system basically converts your grades into the German 5 point system from 1-5(excellent to fail respectively) you can refer to kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3nVq4qefLNnl8ksi=9SuuwpHRoIgrs46u on converting your CGPA to the German grading system.

You are welcome. As far as I know, it is not the university that decides this but rather the visa type as it is a study visa dependants might be an issue due to sponsorship except if you have a scholarship like DAAD etc that supports that.

Hi Ruth, Good Day please for someone who wants to be in Germany by this time next year what will be your suggestion?

Or what do you suggest please I would really appreciate a response from you, Thank you

[@simply_jennie]

Hello, if you have not started your application and you don’t have a scholarship or a first class, then waiting period is 18 months if you are applying from Nigeria. This means that this time next year might not be a possibility. Start by applying for IELTs and gathering all the required documents eg transcripts from your university. Then, if you able to do this by December, you can apply in January for the summer semester which can be differed till next summer semester 2026 (if you are not in category A) while you wait for your visa

Hey am African planning to apply for masters at a public university.which city is affordable for students interms of accommodation etc?

[@simply_jennie]

Hello, I think you should think in terms of opportunities. Major cities like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg etc are quite expensive and accommodation is also hard to find but the opportunities especially if you don’t understand German is a lot more. Smaller german towns that are farther from this major cities might be cheaper to live in but again the opportunities for non german speakers are also limited, plus you might not get as much with amenities like comfortable transport or even social environments etc. The best solution is to look out for universities that are in towns closer to big cities(1 hr away) eg Ingolstadt is an hour from Munich….I hope this helps

Jennieeeeee ooooo Plz come to my rescue. i need help, please. So I'm stuck on the uniassist application portal. Please, i have some questions. First off, when submitting my documents on the uniassist platform, are scanned copy enough? And do i need to go to the Ministry of Education to do any form of verification? Cos i saw a place where they said it would be authenticated. Secondly, can i get the english proficiency letter from my school in place of IELTS? Thirdly, did you apply via uniassist? Fourthly, what common mistakes can i avoid using uniassist?

[@simply_jennie]

Hello David👋 1. Yes, scanned copies(coloured) will work if the documents are stamped by the issuing authorities(your university,WAEC etc), if not stamped, you need to get them notarised but a public notary( a notary lawyer). In some cases the universities will explicitly ask that your documents be sent via post to uni-assist in this instance you ideally should ask your school to send it directly to the address provided(in the case of a transcript) you do not need to notarised this document because it can be checked directly with your university 2. What documents are you referring to? 3. It depends, it is better you use the examination body requested by your university which is usually IELTs or TOEFL iBT tests so you don’t run into issues later during verification (this tests can be easily verified by your university or uniassist) 4. Yes, I have made both partial and full applications via uni assist 5. I would say just take care with your document categorisation, naming and scanning so that way they are quickly approved. Ensure you read the universities requirements properly and submit the right documents. Hope this helps, let me know if you run into any other issues I’ll try my best to help out!

Yes, that’s very possible…some people do that instead of looking for a full time role.

[@waiis332]

for the visa to germany should we also translate the documents in german language or english is acceptable ?

[@simply_jennie]

English is very much accepted unless stated otherwise by your university

Hello Ruth, I’m Balikiss from Nigeria, I’m new on your channel and I would love to make some enquires about stuffing in germany or if there is a way to get free scholarship to Germany, I would really appreciate it I can dm you to know better

[@simply_jennie]

Hello Balikiss, thanks for subscribing DAAD.de offers tons of scholarships to international students every year

[@waiis332]

can you explain to me more about vpd?

[@simply_jennie]

Hi, the VPD means Vorprüfungsdokumentation which translates to preliminary review documentation. It basically means that uni assist checks your transcripts and converts it to the German grading system (1-5 points_1 means excellent and 5 means very poor) and informs you based on the universities requirements whether or not you qualify… This way the German universities spends less time converting and checking it

You got your appointment after 6 months? Did you have to defer your admission to avoid resuming late because of the waiting time to get the visa after the appointment?

[@simply_jennie]

I got my appointment after 8-9 months actually…yes I deferred my admission to the next year(2022)

Can i possibly move with my family same time

[@simply_jennie]

It depends on the reason for your move and the category of visa you have, in most cases for studies or work your family comes afterwards through a reunification process

[@mawuenalove4690]

So if u re under some sort of scholarship, it's there a need to still provide blocked accounts

[@simply_jennie]

No there is no need for a blocked account if you have a DAAD scholarship for instance

[@ABERKANEMONTASSIR]

Hi can you please tell me how to apply to th ingolstadt and what are the factors that help me get accepted

[@simply_jennie]

Hello, if you are applying for a masters program you need to apply via uniassist (you need to apply a month before application officially opens on the 2nd of may) for a VPD by sending your transcript from your bachelor’s programme

[@simply_jennie]

If you are applying to an English program you need your IELTs(English proficiency) >6.0 I believe…if you are applying to a masters program in German you need to take a proof of German proficiency test up to B2 language proficiency at least All further details can be found here www.thi.de/en/studies/application/masterapplication-from-abroad/

[@ABERKANEMONTASSIR]

@@simply_jenniewhat are the tips that you would help me get accepted in thi like is it more about marks or my CV and is it easy to find a job in ingolstadt

[@simply_jennie]

@@ABERKANEMONTASSIR Your grade is very important because the number of students accepted is limited to less than 30 per semester Your experience does not matter as much in a lot of degree programmes, the goal of the CV is basically just to have an overview of your in-school and extracurricular activities including work experience and internships…regardless put in your best effort when you prepare it. Yes! there are student ‘help/lager’ jobs in Ingolstadt but with regard to ease of getting one, I do not know cause I never applied to any. Getting a work-student role at a standard office is not the easiest and a lot of time you need experience and knowledge of the German language. Hope this helps, good luck!
