brother, please i just need help about writing proposal for Phd programme in NZ uni. This is for my friend who is planning to get scholarship for postgraduate in NZ.
Thanks

I'm applying to New Zealand Schools through a scholarship board (master level) but I am finding it difficult to choose the courses (which is criteria to be filled when applying for the scholarship) unlike the Nigerian system every department has its courses, but the schools in NZ you choose your courses, so how would you know the courses meant for your discipline if you not in the system? Tried contacting a prof. in mechanical engineering but he was like I should get an admission first. Please guys I need your help.

solomoncater:

if you can link me up with a supervisor such that I can tailor my research to his area of interest....is that possible?

A 2 year master gives you option for a 1 year post study visa in Australia.... Depending on ur course ur studying in New Zealand. U can stay back after ur master, but Check NZ immigration site for more info.

Thanks I already checked The skilled shortage list and my program happens to be on the list. Now I'm trying to know my PR faith after a year program. Thanks

hello am a prospective phd student/applicant...I will like to know anybody like me such that we can pull the admission and visa processing together....I think university of Auckland is a good place for PhD students cos they have a lot of researchers and research topics...no need for IELTS and scholarship is available for students with excellent grades

@ Solomoncater. Please I will need your help as a seeking for PhD admission in New Zealand. My field is management science. Hope to hear from you soon.

tolfa:

Alright....keep me posted

Evening bro, howdy? Checked and my course is there, though Psychology and Physiology of sport and others in the department of Exercise Sciences. Sent a mail to one of the staff to make general enquiries too.

Hi All,

I will just post this to help people get answers from me quickly and faster.

I receive more than 10 emails per week from Nigerians on this forum and I think it is getting to a point where it is hard to answer all of you. below are a list of Questions I will no longer answer

1. What and where should I study? (You need to know this)
2. How can I process my Visa? (Immigration NZ is the best place to get updated info https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas)
3. Can you find me a supervisor? (check relevant school and study area)
4. Can you write my Phd proposal? (You need to write this to qualify for admission your supervisor should help you)
5. Give me your number let us talk? (We have different time difference so emails will be more appropriate)

You need to do your homework before asking for help. All I do is for free and to help Nigerians get to NZ with less hassle. I am usually busy so It is hard to answer all questions.

I can help with advice for area of residence, how to leave the airport when you arrive, What kind of accommodation to arrange prior to arrival.

If you want to study a PhD, the worst time to come is February ending - March or June/July. This is the beginning of an academic year so your process will be slow and most importantly, your cost of accommodation will be higher (Demand and Supply). The best time to come is around November-January. (This is my own observation only!).

Thanks for your kind cooperation.

Yes! Management science is good. I hope this helps.

hello house! i have HND certificate in Accounting from a Nigerian institution, Please, I'd like to know if i am eligible for any New Zealand Scholarship program

Please I applied for NZ visa for studies in University of Auckland in Feb 2017 and was contacted for further information in last week of February which I provided. I haven't heard from them since then. Should I write them again or just keep holding on? For me, I'm think I should continue being patient but I need advice from people with experience in this regard like @solomoncarter and some others I've read. Is this my decision wise because the validity period for enrollment will end in by April 3rd.
Will writing them adversely affect my application.

Thanks

The application generally takes 25 days to process, If it has been more than 25 days, you can simply send a follow up email asking if they received your additional supporting documents. That way you can get a reply on the status of your application too.

Thanks a lot. From the day they received my application it's more than 25working days. However, from the day they received my additional information, it isn't up to 25days. So I'll wait, if I don't hear from them after then, I'll write them.

By the way, how is Auckland at this time of the year? Any heads up information on weather, people and life generally.

Thank you, nairalanders in newzealand we also nid ur cintributions

dammywu:
Hello guys, am new to Nairaland, I promised myself I will join when am done with visa application to New zealand.
So if you have any question about studying in NZ please do ask me.

Please is possible to get a direct admission into a master program in Engineering without going through their diploma program in NZ
