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.

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.

New from me:

I’m launching my Forecasting For SEO course next month.

It’s everything I’ve learned, tried and tested about SEO forecasting.

The course: https://t.co/bovuIns9OZ

Why forecasting?

Last year I launched
https://t.co/I6osuvrGAK to provide reliable forecasts to SEO teams.

It went crazy.

I also noticed an appetite for learning more about forecasting and reached out on Twitter to gauge interest:

The interest encouraged me to make a start...

I’ve also been inspired by what others are doing: @tom_hirst, @dvassallo and @azarchick 👏👏

And their guts to be build so openly in public.

So here goes it...

In the last 2 years I’ve only written 3 blog posts on my site.

- Probabilistic thinking in SEO
- Rethinking technical SEO audits
- How to deliver better SEO strategies.

I only write when I feel like I’ve got something to say.

With forecasting, I’ve got something to say. 💭

There are mixed feelings about forecasting in the SEO industry.

Uncertainty is everywhere. Algorithm updates impacting rankings, economic challenges impacting demand.

It’s difficult. 😩
Time for some thoughts on schools given the revised SickKids document and the fact that ON decided to leave most schools closed. ON is not the only jurisdiction to do so, but important to note that many jurisdictions would not have done so -even with higher incidence rates.


As outlined in the tweet by @NishaOttawa yesterday, the situation is complex, and not a simple right or wrong https://t.co/DO0v3j9wzr. And no one needs to list all the potential risks and downsides of prolonged school closures.


On the other hand: while school closures do not directly protect our most vulnerable in long-term care at all, one cannot deny that any factor potentially increasing community transmission may have an indirect effect on the risk to these institutions, and on healthcare.

The question is: to what extend do schools contribute to transmission, and how to balance this against the risk of prolonged school closures. The leaked data from yesterday shows a mixed picture -schools are neither unicorns (ie COVID free) nor infernos.

Assuming this data is largely correct -while waiting for an official publication of the data, it shows first and foremost the known high case numbers at Thorncliff, while other schools had been doing very well -are safe- reiterating the impact of socioeconomics on the COVID risk.
