Call your university to speak with Turkish airline, give your university your ticket number they can speak with the local airline office in Cyprus to intervene.

Nothing I can do because I work at EMU...unless your university intervene. I had sent screenshots of your case to GAU registrar office and was able to speak with one person at theor international office briefly today but insisted you should call them to give full details. You can follow with that No up there.

I have a 4 class to teach now... I will check here for updates later!

Actually I followed up with the school and my contacts with the Turkish airline this morning. The school sent his details to immigration, however, his OK-to-board is fake or Never confirmed by the airline. Who knows who did OKTB for him (sad).
So the airline does not have his documents on their systems either give approval for his onward flight.

Also, I was made to understand he has an agent, which I expected such person to follow up on his behalf. GAU tried to help anyway and sent all his details to immigration as I was informed.

This is really serious. I hope they let him fly

Hello Prof,

I am actually interested in applying for PhD in Physics at EMU. Do I need to contact a potential supervisor before application? What is the tuition fee like for a PhD programme?.

Thanks in advance.

Wow that’s so nice. There lots of great guys at physics, if you are mathematically sound I will prefer you work with the chair of the Department is my good friend and also chair of my Department.

You don’t need to consult any of them to be admitted, in case you will be needing teaching assistantship, you may consult with your cv and signify interest.

If you are ready to study at emu, you may send me your complete documents for admission purpose.

Total fee for the PhD is around 9500$, you will only need to pay about 2500$ initially. If you are lucky each semester there are slots for research assistant position, if you get the full time you won’t pay fees again and you get salary now it’s around 4500TL (~286k Naira) salary monthly. If you get a part-time teaching assistant you get half salary and pay half fees.

Also, at EMU, we get paid by EMU AND Turkish governments for each publication we made. So the more research publication the more you get paid. If you are research-oriented you will recoup all the money you pay, for me when I was doing my PhD I got back all my money.

Take note, research assistant position is not automatic, usually slots are opened each semester and it’s competitive, applicants will need to write an exam to be selected and the candidate with the highest score in that exam get selected.

But any EMU student or staff will get paid for publication irrespective.

Ensure you have the financial muscle at least to pay for 5-7 courses before coming, the cost up there excludes accommodation or living expenses.

Also, we can apply for conference funding that are given by EMU to attend conference any part of the world. For academic staffs we don’t have limit for students you can take twice till you graduate and you can Bebe funded upto 1800$ per trip.

Another very important is Turkish government funding for project, there is a Project fund call TUBITAK, all universities in Cyprus can benefit and anybody can apply for this. It’s opened twice a year. Your project must be sound and ready to solve challenges Nationally and international-wise.

In 2015 (my research designed a magnetic resins that can recover valuable material from the Mediterranean Sea which is useful for agriculture and allied industries) I got this funding under EMU, and you can now be funded up to 720,000 TL (~45 million naira) per year and can apply to be funded for 3 years maximum. I am applying again this year. All details of these are on Turkish government website.

Best wishes!

Good day

They sent me back to naija saying I don't have an original waec cert. Actually what I took along was a confirmation of results from waec not  a certificate. The original cert got lost in transit. Waec is saying they can only provide a new one in six months which will be March since I applied in Sept. The school says I'm to resume in Jan. Please what can I do? Help me

Your problem started with your Ok-to-board it’s not real (your result and details were not on the airline system, then they suspected you are not genuine that’s why they queried your documents and you)




Get a new acceptance letter for January early, apply for visa early. Go to your high school get your high school endorsed result on your high school letter head, signed and stamp. Get a confirmation of result stamped and signed from WEAC.

This way you will be fine .....

I have the confirmation signed and stamped by WAEC. the issue started from the school. they did not release my acceptance letter until after almost 4 weeks of me paying my acceptance deposit. I sent in countless emails and called severally yet they never gave a response. by the time the acceptance letter came the embassy had stopped collecting applications for the transit Visa and I had no choice than the ok to board.

No GAU does not pay you when you publish an article although they have a research assistant position.

NEU pay if you publish but am uncertain if they pay students but they pay academic staff and also have research assistant position.

However, Turkish government pay anybody irrespective of the university in Cyprus per publication and they even pay up to 15,000 TL (~950k naira) per paper....If you are in Cyprus studying and have research paper I can show you how to get this money.
