Hi Everyone,

Early this year, I was accepted for presentations (both oral and poster) at a number of conferences in France, Austria and UK which are scheduled to hold between July and October.

Research Topic is health related and South Africa based...sum of the papers are also sub-Saharan African based...

I'd appreciate information on where to apply to get funding to attend these conferences..
Kind Assistance will be well appreciated...

The offer is not bad but he can apply for 5years (critical skill visa) since he is qualified from Nigeria

But wat abt the new migration law--I tot critical skills can onli be guaranteed with a PhD. or am I getting Sumtin wrong?? I have a few friends whose applications were bounced because deyve nt completed der PhD

Ugosample:
I have checked Google already. Didn't get a satisfactory answer . Please give me an estimate for Master's in Economics in say UCT or Pretoria.

search the school yu want, go to their website and download fees statement....an accurate picture is better dan average fees... except yure expecting answers like 5000-45000 Rands lol

naijamark:
I checked and double checked, hoping by any chance the news might be a stale news. Alas! It's hot and fresh, the new bomb on us. God have mercy.

Lol....surprised too *but there's a part that says Foreign students can later apply for work permits from their country.. I tink the last paragraph

Somebody please, how easy is it to get a good lecturing job in the UK... I'm finishing my PhD from Southampton soon with very good marks.

Is it likely I will be retained??

thanks

samtol4:
Why don't you like UKZN? If your proposal is not strong enough UKZN won't accept u .Work on your proposal and apply to 3 schools! Above all you have not been to UKZN already u dislike the school!

Lol...Maybe he's going by University ranking Sir

elnino2015:
Thanks, but I don't really like UKZN.

I'll try WITS and UCT instead.

May be yu try WITS but it's a standard structure for some courses that students must undergo a compulsory 1year honors program. You may experience a similar occurrence in WITS too or even rejected...

You may however try UJ...But I'm doing honours too n no regrets..

Doing a year Honors opens you to a number of opportunities including funding, experience n more

Someone please, can I get a SA PR without staying 5years in the country??

xundey22:
Hello my good people of Nairaland,

Has anyone used compcare medical plan lately? (for study permit). I learnt the SA embassy in Lagos rejected the plan few Months ago. I want to know if they are accepting it now. Thank you.

1kobo advice, use Momentum

omoarole:
2 working days!!!!! that is pretty fast...
I begin to wonder if this is the outcome of the whole xenophobia thing...some bit of PR and reconciliation. We should actually begin a timeline of submission and issuance of visa on this thread. Has anyone else had a similar experience with short term visas?

lol....Patiently waiting to see if Study Permit too wil take 5days
