@mr labindinho the admission site has been updated to accept DE logins..
But...

I don't know if everyone is having the same problem.. I can't login on unilag's website for DE

Keeps showing this

Hi bro, im considering also applying to the university of Capetown, did you have to look for a supervisor prior to applying.. Will really appreciate if you can post how you went about securing your admission for people like me to know the process. Thanks

Their process is one of the simplest in this world.. Once you have your credentials.. Your good to go.. In fact I got the admission since last year..was supposed to resume this year January but due to financial constraints I had to defer till next year and they kept my admission for me

I applied as an undergrad so I didn't need a supervisor. But I used Cambridge A'levels & WAEC results while applying.They don't accept WAEC results only.So I applied on the website with my details,passport number and all neccesary info.

Finally, I paid app fees of 300Zar..the country is quite in recession now so the currency has dropped a bit..you can make use of this opportunity..

So, if your ready to apply click on this

I hope this info helps.. Cheers

Yes this is the type I talked about but most preferably try and use FLYSA https://www.flysaa.com/ and ensure you do the dummy itinerary few days to the time you will go to the embassy. It can also be a day to your submission of visa application. Certainly, it is valid for the embassy.

Oh okay no problem.. Thank you very much.. Really appreciate..

Okay good

Unilag is already selling DE form but I can't see where to login on their website oo..
How do I go about this??

Diamond1960:
1. Most people do get visa till when their passport expires. But if you want to play smart you can go and get a new passport from Immigration that you misplace your passport. With that, you will be issued a new passport that will last you for 5 years.
1a. This will further lessen your stress of applying for a new passport in the case where the old one expires as well as an extension of your study visa.
1b. You will also able to get 4 years study visa directly on the new passport you will obtain from immigration office in Nigeria
2. You can do your medical and radiological report in any general, state or federal hospital
3. Don't be bothered booking a verifiable flight is just like booking a dummy flight itinerary prior to the time you will go to the embassy. You don't have to pay for such bookings. You can even do the booking as many time as you like. the detail will be sent to your email and once you don't pay after 24 hours it would automatically cancel.
Hope this feedback resolves your enquiries? Keep well.

Thanks I would do just as you said.. Please checkout the picture I attached which contains a dummy flight itinerary as you said.. I booked through KLM.. Is this the type you talking about? And is it valid for the embassy?

Diamond1960:
To my understanding, I see Bsc(Eng) Mechanical and mechatronics engineering is a two in one discipline which gives you two area of specialisation in one degree, unlike Bsc(Eng) Mechatronics engineering which is just one major. You can start your visa process as soon as possible if you have gotten needed admission letter from UCT. Cheers

Thank you so much I really appreciate the response.. I've done some research and I can see from your perspective. Definitely going with what you said..
About visa process..
I've got a few things..
Admission letter, yellow fever card,proof of finance and the likes.. But I really want some clarifications about some of the requirements
1)its stated that your passport must be valid for at least 30 days after your intended stay.my passport expires 2 years from now and I'm in for a four year program.. How do I go about this?
2)Can I have my medical and radiological report from a private hospital?
3)this one bothers me the most... I'm required to book a verifiable flight..how do I book a flight when I've not been given a visa...or how can I book a flight without paying for it??

Thanks in anticipation of your response...

Hello nairalanders my name is damilare. I want to study mechatronics but my dad asked me to study computer science attack babcock and later go and study mechatronics at masters level outside of the country. Please how possible is that?

ayomeah:
Nigerians are not native English speakers.
We get exemptions sometimes though, mostly based on your educational background (English as the language of instruction).

Okay so am I good to go with my Cambridge A level result?? cos i found this on thier website "We strongly recommend you provide proof of English language proficiency to confirm your suitability for degree programmes taught in English. This requirement does not apply for native speakers or for applicants of either language who have obtained an English school-leaving or study qualification."

And pls do you know anything about the internship

Hello guys,
My name is victor I just finished Cambridge A levels,using my result I wanna apply to two german universities for winter 2018 B.Eng Mechatronics to be precise but in the requirements i was stated that one must a done a six-week pre-internship in a company in your home country.Pls can someone put me through this cos i'm confused.

And also about TOEFL and IELTS. The schools clearly stated that Native English speakers which I believe we Nigerians are do not need to submit a proof of english proficiency.The schools are Rhein-Waal University And University of applied sciences Wurzbug(FHWS).
I'll be waiting for u guys view abot this.
Thanks
