Thanks bro. I have done that and they replied me that my application expired online. Therefore, I need to fill another form. I will appreciate if you can share your admission tactics and experience in New Zealand.

Although presently am in China as a resident student. If you don't mind will like to know you better.

Are applying for graduate or undergraduate course?

Hello bro,

I am currently applying for PhD at the University of Auckland but I stay in China now. I tried submitting my application online but not going through. I graduated with CGPA of 4.55 at masters level in Information Technology. Can you advise which better way to submit the application. Also, is there anyone in UOA to help and I can relate with?

Thank you.

Email the admission office with this email: admission@auckland.ac.nz
the will respond to you as soon as possible

Hello house. Please I need your help. I have applied for New Zealand Student Visa to do my PhD in AUT twice now. Unfortunately, I have been declined visa for same reasons on both occasions: 1) That I did not convince them am coming to New Zealand for studies alone and will be returning at the end of my studies. 2) That my sponsor PTDF did not attach a bank statement to my financial undertaking 3) That i did not tell them how PTDF will pay my scholarship money to me while in AUT.

After my initial application, I was asked to attach my study leave letter from my employer to show I will be returning to my job. I did provide the said letter in my subsequent application yet the immigration people are still saying that they are not satisfied I will be returning back to Nigeria at the completion of the programme. AUT has accepted to invoice my fees to PTDF once am issued a student Visa. I attached that document to my visa application together with my award letter from PTDF and the financial undertaking form signed by PTDF, yet the immigration are still not satisfied because PTDF did not attach their bank statement. A feat that is impossible because CBN is responsible for making all payments to scholars. I even went as far as getting PTDF to mail the immigration officer that handled my previous application, introducing me to him as her scholar.

The immigration also said I did not show them my academic progression and documents I used in obtaining admission from AUT meanwhile I attached my transcripts and certificates to my application. I know a friend who suffered similar fate last year from immigration New Zealand, Pretoria. I really don't know what else to do to help my application.

Please if anyone can help me with useful information that will aid my application, I will appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hello

I have applied to UoA and Victoria Uni Welligton and also Uni Canterbury. Not completely applied yet because i need the supervisor's go ahead first. Hence my problem.
I also send a mail to Massey and Uni of Waikato.

As for UOA supervisor is not necessary when you are applying. Just apply after your application pass their admission criteria,the will contact you to choose your supervisor.that is how I myself got the admission

Guys, anyone of you that just got phd admissions or are already enrolled, Is any of you studying psychology? i'm having a little delay in getting supervisors. Any help please? I'll like direct linking if its no bother to you.
I know some will come now to advice me on checking the school websites. Yes i have checked, yes i have contacted some. Some havent responded, some have full grad students already so no placement (Different Universities). I have been advised by one of the program coordinators that it helps to talk with already enrolled research students or those who have just gotten admission. So anyone with any helpful advise or recommendations?

which University are you applying for.

Hello House.

I need advice on securing accommodation as well as opening a bank account in Auckland.

I got an offer to do my PhD in AUT. I have also been awarded PTDF scholarship.

My challenge is the fact that I will be receiving my first payment from PTDF after I had arrived NZ and opened an account.

Your help and advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

please did you mean that PTDF is sponsoring PhD student to study in New Zealand?
Because I recently got an offer to conduct PhD at UOA but without scholarship.
