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

Thanks alot. That was very helpful.

Having publications help alot but its not a requirement. Atleast from all i have read from their application requirements on each school's website. I am currently doing my final masters thesis.

chaiks:
you will soon get by his grace.but if I may ask,do you have publications already before mailing profs? can someone who has no publication contact a prof for supervision and funding?

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.

hausalander:

which University are you applying for.

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?

No one can help or advice??

From All the other comments from page 0, it seems that u have to pay for a full year unlike Australia that just needs one semester payment. Infact UC says pay all your fees in full so i am guessing its for the whole year or years.(I might be misunderstanding this part) Please check your school's website and immigration website too. Also, your thesis adverser can always advice u on documents u may need for visa application (if you have a good rapport).

Please New Zealand schools do you first pay a year tuition or a semester tuition to start?
