hi everyone it's global scholarships and
0:01
I'm your host AZ i hope you're all doing
0:03
well i hope everything is going great
0:05
and today we'll see the application
0:06
procedure of UNI assist basically we're
0:08
going to create an application and we'll
0:10
see the steps we have to go through to
0:12
be able to apply to a German university
0:14
uh through UNI assist if you do not know
0:16
UNICE is basically if you are trying to
0:18
apply to a German university um uh from
0:21
like as an international student from
0:22
somewhere else and you do not have
0:25
Abitor which is their uh like high
0:27
school examination and so UNICE helps
0:31
you make sure that uh your credentials
0:34
are compatible with German universities
0:36
so basically you have to go through
0:38
unicist uh give them your um documents
0:41
and etc your information and then get
0:44
something called a VPD uh basically it's
0:46
a preliminary document a lot of German
0:49
universities will ask for um so we're
0:51
going to go through that process
0:53
basically it's kind of like for a lot of
0:55
people this is kind of mandatory to be
0:56
able to apply to a German university and
0:58
I want to make uh more tutorials
1:00
application tutorials for German
1:02
universities uh so I wanted to make a
1:04
video that I can in the future use as a
1:07
reference like go see that video for
1:09
like UNIST application anyway so let's
1:12
start from Google we can just type in
1:14
UNIST as you can see your access point
1:16
to German universities let's click on
1:18
this one and then if the the website is
1:22
German in German when you uh get to it
1:24
you can just change it here uh as you
1:26
can see and English let's choose English
1:29
let's then click on my assist basically
1:32
this is where you choose your university
1:34
blah blah blah and like get the
1:37
information but you can also click on
1:39
sign in to create your uh account then
1:42
create a new account and here we'll give
1:44
them our email password blah blah blah
1:46
i'll just use a temporary email that
1:48
I've
1:49
got all right we've created our account
1:52
and you will receive an email with an
1:54
activation link to activate your account
1:56
please click on the activation link
1:57
within the next 24 hours let's go and do
2:00
that all right I've clicked on the link
2:02
and my account has been activated
2:04
successfully so let's click on sign in
2:06
now and we'll give them our email and
2:10
password okay now we have signed in and
2:13
we're going to take our first steps and
2:15
now sometimes these pages can go back to
2:18
German and the first time I've went
2:20
through this I thought like some steps
2:23
can only be be done in German uh but now
2:26
uh you can just always change them
2:28
change them back to um English so I'm
2:30
going to give them some fake personal
2:32
information obviously because I'm not
2:34
going to go through with any actual
2:35
applications uh to any university so it
2:38
should be fine okay i gave them some
2:40
information and be careful by the way
2:42
one thing to keep in mind for example uh
2:44
Turkey is in Germany here so like I've
2:48
tried to type in Turk with a u uh but it
2:51
wasn't available uh when I use this uh
2:54
letter here which is u in Turkey uh so
2:58
yeah that's like if you cannot see your
3:01
um citizenship maybe that's that might
3:03
be the reason it's in German here and
3:05
then are you married to a citizen of the
3:07
European Union or the European economic
3:10
area i'm going to say no and am I come
3:14
to Germany as a refugee and interested
3:16
in further information for refugee
3:18
applicant i'm going to choose that
3:19
obviously uh if you are you can choose
3:22
this one and I'm going to click on
3:23
continue now we have contact information
3:26
so this uh co part is important if
3:29
you're staying somewhere else like
3:30
somewhere you are normally aren't
3:33
staying uh so I'm going to I'm not going
3:36
to do anything with that that is not uh
3:38
applicable to us i'm going to give them
3:40
some like random information about my
3:42
address all right done with that and now
3:45
click on continue okay so do we have a
3:49
basically D do D do D do D do D do D do
3:50
D do D do D do D do D do D do D do D do
3:51
D do D do D do D do D do D do D do OSV
3:52
is a different kind of um application
3:55
which is not what we're going to do
3:56
we're going to go through anyway so like
3:58
if you have that that's what you're
4:00
trying to do uh pretty much you will
4:02
have these numbers ready so you can just
4:05
uh put these in but that's not what
4:08
we're doing right now so I'm going to uh
4:09
kind of skip that and then we have
4:12
educational history and as you can see
4:14
we'll give them uh heavy Have you gradu
4:17

4:19
on yes or no after graduating from

going to choose no for this one and I'm
4:31
going to choose yes for this one and I
4:33
give them my information okay so I gave
4:36
them some information uh so basically uh
4:40
here we have another question we passed
4:42
the fastselling proof i think that's
4:45
fascinating proof i think that's how
4:47
it's pronounced at a student colleague
4:49
so basically student colleague is a a
4:51
preparatory um information preparatory
4:55
um education that you go through for one
4:57
year at a German university and after
5:00
doing that you also come back uh after

7:30
so this one or like if you have
7:33
something else that you want to apply to
7:35
you can choose that I'm just going to go
7:36
through for this one and when you do
7:39
that uh it is here at uh my selection
7:43
list and now that I come here basically
7:45
this is my um application list and I've
7:49
chosen Technical University of Munich
7:51
and basically when I choose the payment
7:54
option of course you have to pay uh the
7:57
platform to you know um to go through
8:01
your application and like give you the
8:03
service basically and it's about
8:06
€75 uh but first I have to answer these
8:10
unanswered mandatory questions and I
8:12
have to basically upload my documents so
8:15
let's first go through the unanswered
8:17
mandatory questions okay so here's the
8:20
thing um when I first clicked on this
8:24
link this additional application related
8:27
questions were like this page is opened
8:29
but it was completely in German uh
8:32
that's pretty much the same thing that
8:33
has happened to me for some reason uh
8:36
even though this page is completely in
8:38
English when you open it for the first
8:40
time this these questions it is in
8:42
German but if you go to here and choose
8:45
English the page reloads and then when
8:48
you open this page again now it's in
8:50
English so I'm going to uh answer these
8:53
questions basically educational data
8:55
blah blah blah we're going to go through
8:56
that in a second but again if you if
8:59
this is in German for you you need to go
9:01
and change the language once again uh
9:04
from here basically anyway so let's give
9:07
them some madeup information about
9:08
ourselves please provide details of the
9:11
secondary school high school that you
9:12
attended most recently and the school
9:14
leaving certificate you obtained
9:17
basically this is the last high school
9:19
that you went to all right so basically
9:21
I've just graduated from a random high
9:24
school in my country i got my high
9:27
school diploma this is the uh date so
9:30
you can add more i think there's just
9:32
one more you can add um but if you just
9:35
went to one high school you can just
9:37
leave this um blank university entrance
9:40
exam have you passed a university
9:42
entrance exam um basically if you this
9:45
is like for your own country I believe
9:48
so if you graduated from high school and
9:51
the first time you do is apply to German
9:53
university then you obviously wouldn't
9:56
go through an entrance exam uh so you
9:58
can choose no or you can choose yes and
10:00
then give them information about your
10:02
university exam blah blah blah okay done
10:05
that please provide details of any
10:08
university studies or vocational
10:09
qualifications undertaken outside

10:14
any degree programs or qualifications
10:16
which you have not successfully
10:17
completed have you begun or completed a
10:20
university degree program or vocational
10:22
qualification outside Germany um you can
10:25
just choose yes or no here I'm going to
10:28
choose no choose yes you have to provide
10:30
details like period of study name of
10:33
pretty much the same thing here uh but
10:35

10:38
you successfully completed the degree
10:40
program and you have a one more first
10:42
qualification second qualification third
10:45
uh but if you are applying to a German
10:47
university fresh out of college so fresh
10:50
out of high school um then you won't
10:52
have that again student colleague is
10:54
something that you can go through if you
10:57
want to have a preparatory course for
10:59
one year uh have you attended student
11:02
colleague um I'm going to say no here if
11:04
you have been through you can choose yes
11:07
and have you passed fast telling
11:09
proofing i believe it is so I can choose
11:13
yes uh currently attending uh so I'm
11:16
going to note to all of these but if you
11:19
are going through student colleague you
11:21

details of any studies undertaken at a
11:29
university in Germany you must also
11:31
provide details of any degree programs
11:33
which you have not successfully
11:35
completed i'm going to choose no here
11:37
pretty much the same uh like we answered
11:41
for out of Germany now we're answering
11:43
for in Germany but if it's your first
11:46
time let's just choose no and go ahead
11:50
and then yeah that's pretty much it
11:52
additional information on many countries
11:54
and specific certificates can be found
11:56
on our website uh let's click on save
11:59
here and as you can see no unanswered
12:01
mandatory questions so we're done with
12:03
the questions we now have to go through
12:06
the documents so let's click on upload
12:08
my
12:09

now what we do is as you can see we have
12:15
categories these are document categories
12:18
so what we'll do is uh click on select
12:22
and then choose our uh document for
12:25
example I choose chose some random uh

document called CV and then I choose CV
12:31

12:35
like the pro the platform uploads my uh
12:40

12:51
letter of motivation upload that we have
12:55
other if you have something else you can
12:57
choose that as well and upload it as you
13:00
can see it's the same for me like same
13:02
size because it's the same document for
13:04
me but of course for it will be
13:06
different it has to be less than 10
13:09
megabytes by the way so for password
13:12
passport uh use this one school
13:16
certificate university certificate i
13:18
mean obviously if you're just applying
13:20
fresh out of high school you wouldn't
13:22
have a university certificate so we're
13:25
going to have to upload the the ones
13:26
that are um that are you know relevant
13:30
for you work experience internship and
13:33
then work sample this might be if you're

them are uploaded uh the relevant ones
13:42
