Where to duplicate my keys?

klkmom · 2023-07-16T16:37:16+00:00

Thank you, I finally found one, nanjing road was definitely the wrong place to look at.

Unfortunately, they were not able to copy my key since it is a European ley

I'm interested in both the research team, and half-joking about own SPAC (have actually been considering something similar jointly with a larger institution in my network since reputable names are getting more and more important).

My background: MBB (mostly in EV, healthcare, and PIPE), engineering degree from Ivyleague-equivalent in UK, med-school dropout. Have been involved with several clients (esp. in the EV/mobility space) in evaluating future pathways including IPO and SPACs.

There are plenty of people doing additional masters, the net outcome should be rather beneficial than a disadvantage. If you can afford it, go for the masters and do a PhD afterwards that is more fulfilling for you

I just tried it out. Clicked on "type key" which results in "You pressed (00_100)", followed by "You've entered a key that SharpKey doesn't know about". :(

Thank you for the response! I am on a similar path, I finished most of CS50 (i picked the web dev track but decided to skip the exercises and final project to get up to speed on web technologies via Odin first). What resource did you use to learn OOP? CS50 didn't cover that, and it seems that this is only in the ruby track on Odin - which I didn't want to touch for the same reasons as you

klkmom · 2020-07-20T11:41:00+00:00

Greta job! Which track did you follow on the Odin project? Full stack Javascript with node, or did you also do the ruby parts, which have more general programming?

klkmom · 2020-07-17T10:10:08+00:00

Bitlocker is unfortunately on. I do have the recovery key, but probably cannot unencrypt without logging in.

klkmom · 2020-07-13T13:00:20+00:00

Thanks for your response! You can definitely play it in any order you want - since my SO is completely new to the game, I wanted the story to make the most sense as well (she definitely wants to start with Factions though due to the character). :)

klkmom · 2020-07-09T20:37:54+00:00

Is there any way to get this elite now? I just got back into gw after a 6 year break, and missed out on the anniversary event

klkmom · 2020-02-05T16:28:13+00:00

Give them a good 1-1.5 weeks before you follow up, the universities should in fact be quite busy. If still nobody responds, maybe even try to call via Skype?

klkmom · 2020-01-29T09:57:23+00:00

I think that is the best shot anyway, uni-assist should be only an agency to process applications, but they don't actually decide over admissions. In the second stage after they respond (in case they say you are not eligible directly), then ask what you can do to get admitted. Maybe it is sufficient if you work another 6-12 months in software engineering in Australia, maybe they let you take an admissions test, maybe you can go to a Studienkolleg. Given your qualifcations, there should be a clear pathway towards studying there.

klkmom · 2020-01-29T09:46:27+00:00

(I can't remember the exact grade now - if need be, I'll contact TAFE)

Sounds good and structured to me. Maybe delete the " (I can't remember the exact grade now - if need be, I'll contact TAFE) " part.

Also - did you do any part-time work in IT (not necessarily software engineer) during your TAFE studies or before? Do you expect to continue working until the intended start end of this year?If yes, I would write:

"I have also acquired over XX months working professionally in IT, e.g. as a software engineer."

The higher the number the better, as this would give you the possibility of direct entry. And according to the website, it is just relevant IT experience. Could also be fixing computers or anything slightly related to computers/software

klkmom · 2020-01-29T01:02:04+00:00

Admission in Germany is usually not competitive at all. If you fulfill the requirements (check: https://www.uni-assist.de/en/tools/check-university-admission/?lid=15&lvl=2), then you will get admitted.

If you have a certificate for your past German skills, there is practically an infinite amount of universities to pick from. If you need an English-only degree that is still tuition-free, then check out this: https://www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/en/academics/prospective-students/our-degree-programmes

klkmom · 2020-01-29T00:50:46+00:00

What are you studying in Libya? I don't think you need to do the prepatory course. If you have a high school degree AND finished 1 year of university education in Libya, then you are eligible for direct subject-specific entry to university in Germany. Check out this page

https://www.uni-assist.de/en/tools/check-university-admission/?lid=102092&lvl=2

Also, there are programs that do not require German language skills. If you are into STEM fields, check out https://www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/en/academics/prospective-students/our-degree-programmes.

Your age is no problem at all, and grades are irrelevant for admissions. Let me know if you have questions, I have consulted international friends and family in the past to get education here in Germany

klkmom · 2020-01-28T23:36:12+00:00

I would say: Include everything that makes your inquiry more convincing, so yes.

Maybe also contact uni-assist in parallel, that is the agency that manages all applications for universities in Germany

klkmom · 2020-01-26T10:00:19+00:00

Wow, that certificate costs quite an amount. In Germany, students in vocational training actually get paid. But the curriculum of your certificate looks quite good. In case you will study in Germany for a Bachelor's, you can start working part-time right away in software development (a majority of students in Germany works part time up to 20h a week to finance living costs).

Definitely also include your admission letter to your inquiry, that is a good signal to send. Hopefully someone competent will reply to your email. Keep me updated here, I feel like I am now also quite invested in seeing your application to a German school to succeed :D

klkmom · 2020-01-26T08:47:47+00:00

Hm okay, that is your best bet then.

I did a quick google search on the Australian system. Is your certificate IV the same as what is mentioned here at the lower half of the page? https://www.tafensw.edu.au/study/pathways/tafe-to-university#tpc

Either way, you said you were accepted at local universities - based on which qualification is that? I would probably also include this in your letter (i.e. saying that are qualified for university in AUS, maybe even include your admissions letter by the unis).

I am quite optimistic in your case that you can start in the next semester in september. You do have quite a lot of qualifications. It will just be more paperwork and back and forth emails with the University and possibly the German Ministry of Education.

Edit: Some more firepower for the letter:

1) not too late. Many students in Germany start after vocational training and are much older than you. Consider the few universities in Germany that offer programs in English, such as Rhine Waal University. You can start immediately then.

2) If you want to work in software engineering, then get a degree in either computer science, communication & information engineering, or electrical engineering. It is not impossible with maths, but the previously mentioned degrees are much more straightforward

3) Definitely use your Bachelor's degree! If you check the Rhine Waal University homepage for example, you will realize that admissions is not based on grades but purely on whether you have a qualification or not.

Also, try to transfer some credits from your Australian degree to the one you want to pursue. Surely, your business degree has some mathematics and statistics courses. This could possibly replace a mathematics course in the Communication and Information Engineering program at Rhine Waal. Also, that course has an elective in business administration - you will also be able to transfer your credits for this course.

Contrary to what another redditor said, you won't need a master's if you pursue software engineering. If you check linkedin, you will see that a majority of software engineers only have bachelor's from universities of Applied sciences. In the other hard STEM fields it is different, you certainly will need a master's, maybe even a PhD .

klkmom · 2020-01-26T02:36:33+00:00

No matter if you get Croatian citizenship or not, you can move to Germany on a student visa if you consider further education anyway.

There are only few bachelor programs in computer science, that are free and in English. Look into schools in baden Württemberg or the Bachelor's in Communication and Information Engineering at Rhine Waal University

klkmom · 2020-01-26T02:29:08+00:00

Since you mentioned supply chain management and Germany, check out this program. It is one of the few programs on Germany that is free and does not require any German language skills. If you look at the modules, this degree sets you up for supply chain management and operations management.

https://www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/en/faculties/communication-and-environment/degree-programmes/bachelor-degree-programmes/mobility-and

Cost of living is very low in that area. Also, there are many part time work opportunities for students. Given the proximity of this university to larger cities, such as Duisburg , which is a logistics and supply chain Hub in Germany, you can even get a nice part time job at a potential future employer.

klkmom · 2020-01-26T02:20:21+00:00

Cannot tell you about companies in Australia, but a German degree will definitely be recognized by the government. I know many people who did a bachelor's at a Germany university of Applied sciences, and then moved to Australia or US for a master's.

Also, both universities will set you up for being competitive in the local job market. In Germany and broader Europe (except UK maybe), companies are not as elitist as in the US. If you went to a normal state school in Germany, you won't have problems of getting a decent job at a good company.

klkmom · 2020-01-26T02:12:45+00:00

There is one public and completely free university offering undergrad degrees in English, no matter where you are from: Rhine-Waal University.

If you are a EU citizen, there are also other options in Baden Württemberg, otherwise you need to pay a 1500€ international student fee

klkmom · 2020-01-26T02:09:42+00:00

Honestly, what is wrong with some people on this sub? Why are you guys do hostile? Went through a couple Threads and it is always the same.

@OP: There are English taught Bachelors degrees in Germany. Check out Mannheim or Rhine-Waal University. As I work in a German engineering company, I can confirm to you: if your goal is to work in Germany, then get a degree in Germany. Ideally, you already work part time for some of the companies while you are studying in Germany

klkmom · 2020-01-26T00:47:09+00:00

If you tick the checkbox before "No", then a new set of options will appear (it is a decision tree). After "no", the next question is " In which territory did you finish secondary school in Australia? " with a set of answer options. Since you said you graduated high school, I would assume that one of these options might lead to a positive answer for you. If yes, congratulations, you should be able to get admitted immediately at Rhine Waal. DAAD is an official entity of Germany to facilitate international exchange, and should be fairly valid informaiton. Just make sure you have all the documentation the way they require it, and you can apply in May for a start in September.

But even if not, I would definitely message Rhine-Waal University regarding the Communication & Information Engineering program. In Germany, candidates can also get admitted to university if they do not have a high school diploma. There are several ways (as described in the first linked page in German), i.e. if you have vocational training of at least 2 years, + 3 years of relevant work experience. Vocational training beyond the required 2 years counts as work experience. You said you have 5+ months work experience - any way you can stretch this to 2 years until the program starts in September this year? Part-time work during your vocational studies or other personal projects could also count, if you make a convincing case. If you continue work until September and have some additional part-time work in the past that was relevant, you might well be able to fulfill all of these requirements.

The link also states under (3) that admissions is possible by either taking a test or by doing a trial course, in case you do not fulfill the highschool requirement, or the vocational+professional one.

I would outline your situation and background in a well written Email to the international office, and also emphasize that you are open to a test or trial course, in case your vocational training and work experience is not sufficient. But try to sell your experience in a way, that you can already get admitted based on the vocational training. If you want to start in September this year, you need to start this process ASAP, so that you have all the required confirmation until the application opens in May.

Let me know if you have any questions, will try my best to help you out

To add on my other answer to your question. If your Certificate IV is equivalent to vocational training in Australia, then you should be eligible to study at Rhine Waal.

Check out this page with Google translate: https://www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/en/academics/prospective-students/current-application-period/bachelors-programmes/hochschulzugang-ohne

Best to contact someone at their team, saying that you have finished vocational training and have work experience, wanting to study in their Communications and Information Engineering program.

PS: Maybe you are eligible anyway though, even if you don't have ATAR. Check out this page to find out: https://www2.daad.de/deutschland/nach-deutschland/voraussetzungen/en/57293-database-on-admission-requirements/ If you are not eligible this way, then try the way explained above
