symbian03 - boss, you can not be proud of being Nigerian and hesitate telling people you are from Nigeria whenever you get asked  . I agree with bellong's views. Tbh, there are countries as corrupt as our motherland. I remember chatting a lady from Sri Lanka the other day, she smiled immediately I told her I'm Nigerian and she said ''don't worry, we both have something in common, a corrupt Government". No need to go into the details of our subsequent convo.Sadly, on many occasions, the tone of conversation has changed from interested to disinterested whenever ignorant non-Nigerians found out I'm Nigerian. It's actually worse here than it was back in England. I care less about this. I have this little Nigerian flag (with "Nigeria" boldly written on it) on my desk in the Uni. It's a subtle message to my fellow ignorant colleagues to let me be if they can't have a conversation without prejudice. Overall, the enlightened/sensible non-Nigerians know that the action of one can't be used to judge many as bellong rightly said. This is not the aim of this thread but I thought I should add a few lines. Cheers. 7 Likes |

jorgan In addition to what erictack203 has advised, make sure you have MORE THAN ENOUGH in your account. I understand that some banks e.g. Zenith Bank converts from Naira to USD and then to AUD before onward transfer to their intermediary bank (usually an Australian bank), who subsequently credits the University's account. 1 Like |

STAugustineOf13:Whoooootttt? Really broski? Back to the matter, missymii I do not think that stating that your brother lives in Australia will hinder your chances of getting your application approved. I know (have seen) typical examples. I am assuming your brother legally LIVES in Australia. On the other hand, if your mind is asking you to do otherwise, make sure your brother hasn't already provided your information on any previous immigration related applications. Anyways, just follow your mind. 1 Like |

bhanjjie Congrats on your UQ offer. The “ministry” is growing. I would like to see a Nigerian Students Association UQ, someday. 1. To be honest, I thought you have answered your question already. Here are my thoughts: just make sure the job roles on your CV relates very well to healthcare services. The website approach is also a good idea. In fact, nothing to worry about. Me no just gbadun as you yarn the site for here, try comot am sir. I no wan fo too much. 2. You will receive oral polio vaccine when you go for your medicals. You will be given a letter demonstrating that you have been vaccinated. You will need to include a copy in your visa application. As much as I know, the yellow card will only be needed at the point of entry and not required for visa application. 3. No, you don’t have to CERTIFY your CV, SoP or yellow card. 4. Not necessary bro. Paradoxically, I would put 2 references if I have them. 5. Very tricky question. It’s already been suggested on previous pages, not sure of the page number. 6. On the SoP, I would say something like… my sponsor has enough financial resources to support me throughout the duration of my proposed course. 2 Likes |

Unfortunately, I shall not be responding to PMs any longer unless na P matters I have lost the zeal to keep reviewing SoPs for people. Imagine someone asking you to review SoP or answering personal questions after they had already lodge their application, baba nla time wasting. Una know unaself oo.

timikenzo2:Are you suggesting that I help you look for a supervisor? kaycome:I have literally just answered this question. |
| Travel › Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by FutureDon(m): 4:01am On Nov 16, 2015 |
timikenzo2:I am. PhD applications vary from Uni to Uni. All the advice that I will give will be based on my experience applying to the "big boys". Getting a supervisor may take days, weeks or even months depending on how prompt the Prof responds to emails. I remember receiving responses to some of my emails after I had already accepted an offer elsewhere. Typically, the process include: Find a supervisor Discuss potential projects with the supervisor Write a research proposal Supervisor officially agrees if convinced that one is ready for the "game" ahead Apply for admission and/or scholarship: In most cases, applications are first considered for admission (5weeks +) before onward consideration for scholarships (8wks +). For instance, one's application might be successful for admission but not for scholarship. Most importantly, your first email needs to be "catchy". Also, it will be of importance to let them know that you'll be applying as a self-funded student as a lot of them consider funding before agreeing to act as a supervisor. You are welcome to send me a PM if you have more personal questions to ask. I know there are 2 other PhD students on this thread, albeit missing in action, who might want to add one or two points. |

timikenzo2:Iriferi, I hail you. timikenzo2 I may be able to offer suggestions/advise based on my experience applying to PhD programs. I must warn you that it is a tedious process. Yes, there are scholarships but very competitive. I am not saying these to scare you but to sort of paint a picture of what lies ahead. Yes, you need to secure a supervisor before your app can be considered for admission/scholarship. I would contact as many potential supervisors as possible. 1 Like |

blueprint2015 - did you know the reason reason(s) why your visa application was denied? I believe your new course is related. On your SoP, we will establish a sweet connection between the old and new courses and give believable reason (s) for the change in course. Overall, it needs to be concise. bigm101 - that question is not a difficult one imho. Just state it concisely that the funds will be deposited in your Naija account (by your sponsor, if you are using one) and subsequently be accessed by you in Australia with your debit/ATM cards. |
