Greetings All,
I want to know about the admission cycle of schools in this country.

Thanks

Please kindly advice, I was awarded a place for PhD without funding but I filled for funding. If I find myself. Will I be able to get a job that will pay back my money and make gains?

Hi Ticha,

Thank you for being helpful.

I just got a PhD admission into Lincoln University New Zealand to resume in February 2023.

I have a sponsor who is my brother, however, I would like to know if he must have the actual NZ$15000 or they are mostly interested in the inflow and outflow of cash in his account.

Also, I would also like to know how many months statement of account I would need to present.

Thank you.

Ticha:


They often want to see the whole amount and it's usually a month's bank statement. However all this was pre-covid and pre - the visa reset so email INZ and ask. They are very good with responding. Plus their phone lines are usually open till 10pm which is 11am 9ja time so should give ample time to call.

Congrats bro!!. Would this by chance be Massey Uni?

Victoria University of Wellington

That’s my school. Congratulations ���

What’s your course of study?

otabuko:

Education.
I applied for the Wellington doctoral and scholarship. But they decided to give me an unfunded admission... What do you think bro!

Well, it depends on your financial background. I know a friend who worked throughout his PhD. However, it is important to note that it’s not easy.

Regarding getting Doctoral funding, I feel it depends solely on God factor, the quality of your application (research publications, previous awards, etc.), and a supervisor willing to support your application. I am recipient of the Wellington Doctoral Scholarship.

The good part about NZ is that PhD students can work pretty well compared to masters students. Also, you have the opportunity to pay your fees at domestic rates. However, there might be a post-pandemic change.

otabuko:


Thank you so much. I believe post pandemic factor contributed to the non funding doctoral admission... Thank you so much. But in Naira, what can #5m do for me as it pertains this admission process?

Hills2012:


I really cannot say much on this to avoid any discouragement. Let madam @Ticha advise in this regard.

OH! Thanks a lot. I have written my school to send my transcripts to Wellington. Can I attach the my proof of identity with the transcript as it's being sent through DHL?

Hills2012:



You’re welcome! You can attach a photocopy of your passport and other documents they require. However, ensure that the document is directly from your university.

Hi,
I recently applied for a PhD program at Lincoln University but am yet to receive feedback. Please how long does it take, who has experienced this?

soje1:
Dear House,

I need help on the proof of funds for airline Ticket booking for a PhD Student Visa Application.

Is there anyway to handle this in terms of the amount to keep in the account or how to navigate the process?

I would appreciate all the responses i can get.

Thank you

You may not need to book any flight. If you already have a sponsor, send the INZ1014 Financial Undertaking for a Student (https://www.immigration.govt.nz/documents/forms-and-guides/inz1014.pdf/@@resource_summary) to the person to fill. Then attach the person Bank Statement and Introduction letter from bank with your application. Also, you can include a sponsorship letter from your sponsor.

Goodluck!

Please house,
I am applying for another bsc degree at massey University and UOA. However, i am yet to get a decision from UOA but massey told me to get an Ece of my undergraduate degree done because thats what I use although I graduated with 2.2 in a similar discipline i want to apply to. But it was stated as an international student that i should provide an international baccalaureate ot an A level degree. So should I submit my waec result with is very good except my biology which was cancelled or i should go ahead with my undergraduate degree to stand a higher chance of admission .
Kindly help.

Hills2012:

Thank you so much

You can apply for another bachelor degree using your WAEC and previous degree. However, you need to make your personal statement convincing. Let it contain your career goals and the reason you want to spend another 2-3 years for a new bachelor degree in the same field.

I have gotten PhD admission for February 2023 but I differed it to 2024.

bikerboy1:


Hello,
Please why did you differ from Feb 2023 to 2024. That seems like a long time considering that we're still in mid 2022.

Benyz:
Please, how easy is it to get PR after studies in NZ . I read on the internet that one needs 160 points to get ITA from the government which I find very hard to attain after checking out the point based system. I plan to apply to university of Wakaito for a PhD in geology. Any information around this would be appreciated.

Can I apply for a undergraduate studies in a New Zealand university with just WAEC?
