Thanks for pointing outAngMoG wrote:I hope you noted the degree as MSc or MSc-equivalent (if you still fell under the old "Diplom" scheme). Tripped me up the first time.
Make an appeal, but have some letter with it with some explanation/clarification. Maybe try and see if you can get NUS to ask a few more details from MOM why you were rejected. Point out that the degree is equivalent to an MSc (if it was not a BSc that you did).

Just pay a translator - if you are here already, the German embassy website has a list - to include a footnote on the Diplom title that says it is the same as an international MSc. It should be a certified translation (in Singapore, the German embassy does that - not sure how it goes if you are still in Germany). Submit that translation in your appeal.
Point out very clearly in your appeal letter as well as in the amended application documents that the Diplom is MSc-equivalent. (You cannot really change the fact that the title is "Diplom" (don't call it "diploma").)
It was probably just some bureaucrat finding that your German qualifications doesn't neatly fit into nice, distinct boxes that they recognize. Most probably not NUS' fault.harusame wrote: thanks
yes, i will try to get official statement from german embassy
it is weird that they still have this kind of issue, i bet my case is not the first german degree case they have
logically they should have had some regulations to resolve the issue better
i thought NUS is well-known and good enough as an employer
and the salary is clearly above the minimum requirement for Q1 Pass
or is there any possible explanation why my application was rejected?
hopefully it was the reason, not because of some other reasons i cannot resolve...nakatago wrote:

the salary is decent enough for me, since i am single, and not planning on getting married in the near futurenoskich wrote:The salary seems quite low. Have you informed yourself about the living costs?

If you don`t get SNU accommodation you will most likely have to share a flat. Even a smaller HDB flat would set you back 2,5K which would not make sense on your earnings. Don`t expect to save up much unless you have a `hand to mouth` lifestyle like unqualified workers (sharing a room, eating at hawkers exclusevely, not buying anything unnecessary...).
Or cheaper if further from Dover/Kent Ridge zone.AngMoG wrote:He can always rent a room for around SGD 1,000.noskich wrote:Reason for rejection is anyone`s guess.
