yeah I get it. You can call them too if you could get their number.

princeabisoye:
Thank boss. I mean if MZ will reply to my mail because I sent them one mail or send me a mail that my passport has been sent.

Bro they don't call o at least from experience. They only send a mail after they retire to their office that they did not meet you.

princeabisoye:
Thanks, Bro. I send them a mail. I hope they reply. As per if I stay alone, I don't stay alone and I have informed people that DHL will come. They should also call me as they have my number.

Thank you so much for the insight

tataiwo09:
The process is straightforward:

1: ukzn will not consider you for admission without SAQA result. Hence, apply for SAQA
2. Prepare a short research proposal
3. Reach out to lecturers to know their availability for phd supervision. Send the proposal and your resume to them individually.
4. Once you got one positive response, apply ASAP and expect admission within few weeks

Anosiry:
Bro. The email address is not correct

just be patient bro. They will surely send an email I hope you are not the only one living in your apartment too, cos I had to go to their office (DHL) to collect it by hand. was later told they came to my house and did not meet anyone.

princeabisoye:
Please help me with MZ CONTACT. I aplied for a tourist visa and ask them to send it to me via DHL to me in Lagos.

I called the Embassy last week and i was told my passport has been forwarded to MZ office.

I have not received any mail fro them. don't know when my passport will be sent to me.

Please what do I do.

Anosiry:
Thanks bro. My degree cert has been authenticated but for o' levels no. Please can I get your email address cos I still have some other questions to ask you.
Thanks once again

You will need your O levels too. I guess you are aware you'll need to authenticate credentials at Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs

Anosiry:
Thanks so much bro! Did I need o' levels for master program?

Well I have been there. What I am asking is to get an information from anyone currently schooling there and possibly doing the same course. Thank you.

Geenosko:
Go to the school's website

Please I wish to ask about Phd by research in Animal Science please at KwaZulu Natal. Please if you have an information kindly share with me please.

Is this still valid till date please.

muhaogunlo:
1. True
2. Yes there are
3. Accommodation ranges from 30K to 80K per month, depending on location and whether it is shared or not. And you pay monthly not yearly.
4. Yes you can work as a teaching assistant or part-time lecturer, depending on the opportunities in your field of study.
5. Yes, it's very easy to get study visa for PhD, so long as you have all the required documents.
6. It depends on your destination in SA and on airline, ranging from 120K to 180K, it fluctuates, you may even get cheaper flights if you book way before your travel date.
7. Lots of academic opportunities for PhD holders in SA, it depends on what you mean by academic opportunities.
8. Salient factors - don't live more than your means, watch the company you keep in SA and be focused on your work, most importantly - God factor.
9. It depends on your lifestyle, but food ain't expensive in SA, the last time I checked. Public transport is also very cheap.
10. SAQA ranges from 2 weeks to 3 months or more, depending on when your school verifies your documents. Yes you need your WAEC or NECO, including scratch card that they will use to check your result online, it's a new requirement.
11. SAQA will send your document to your school for verification after which they will issue you a SAQA certificate.
12. Usually you will need to send to both but different universities have different requirements.

Be prayerful, hopeful and optimistic, and it will make more sense if you can confirm if your supervisor has funding for postgraduate students, it will make you have a very soft landing but there are scholarship opportunities as well, though competitive for foreigners but it's not impossible to get, depending on your field of study.


NB: I stand to be corrected on any above if anyone has any recent info about any of the questions, please share.

Cheers!

Oh I see. Agriculture is the only course with English as language of tuition in my school. However, this is what I would advise, google up schools, check if they have your course and check for their international offices' email address and send them emails and put catchy phrases as subject of email....International student_English courses, English language courses available....just coin what would not be ignored at first look. Check this school first mugla sitki kocman university. Good luck in your search.

Seunab1805:
Art and humanities , English and literature

Maybe your search needs to be more intense. Although I wont discountenance he fact that some of their sites are not directional, however, you will still find helpful tips. What course if I may ask?

Seunab1805:
Oh alright thanks ��.. I’d do that.. incase you’ve got like procedures I can follow .. I’d really appreciate it.. been searching for schools with lesser tuition fees, I’ve just been redirected every time I try..

What course

Seunab1805:
Do you by chance know if I could apply for a masters degree in turkey, although I’ve applied for the tourist visa but I haven’t heard back , so Idk if I can apply for a masters degree in any school over there

They just opened to business, hence they would respond accordingly. Be patient. You could as well send them a reminder if you desire.

Seunab1805:
Anyone ?

Yeah. A letter indicating it. But if the stipend is not "thick enough I guess you 'll need a proof of sponsorship.

Idowu3080:
Hello Everyone,

I would like to ask a question.

I got an admission with a full scholarship in one of the Universities in Turkey, would I be needing any other financial proof for the embassy?

Your response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

It's true. A friend's wife got same

nuel80:
Dear Applicant,

We are pleased to inform you that all Embassy operations will officially resume from 20th May 2020.

Due to the pandemic you will be issued a single entry visa valid for one (1) year.

Also, you will receive collection mail from the visa application center as soon as your passport is ready for collection.

Regards,

Turkish Embassy, Abuja.



Note;This is only applicable to those whose visa applications are already approved.

����
Good evening all, please can anyone confirm how true the above message is for unused visas that were approved before the Covid19 lockdown.
Someone sent it to me.

It's just the media that is feeding you with the error. It is true they are Muslims as a majority but the Nigerian Muslims are more fanatical than they are. Even the remotest places are conducive to live in.

sacx:
I hope you are aware that Turkey has a Muslim majority of up to 98%? Going there as a Christian may not be one of the best move.

See what I would advise you do is go to Google up schools in Turkey. There are schools that still give courses in English and are around 2000tl per session. All you need do is find lecturers in the dept and send them emails. Some of their sites are not directional though but you will get what you seek.

Deepocean:
Please, I need information on masters degree program in Turkey; the cost, the duration and if one can work along side studying. Also can one stay back after the masters program?
In addition, is Turkey conducive for living like some western countries?

Please, if you have answers to my questions kindly answer me explicitly.

Thanks.

MERCHANDISER:
Which school in Finland offer Any Animal science related courses?
and also how can i benefit from their student's scholarship

Mind trying Turkey

Shikenan!

Thank you

Plz house, do anyone here know the cost of certifying documents at the Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs?




It depends on the number. Ministry of education is 300 per copy. You 'll buy a form and envelope so I think that is 400. She budget like 5k or 6 depending on the number. Also ensure to take you testimonial along in case cos some embassies require a cover note from ministry of education on for your SSCE result]

Yeah you get the point bro. I just got here a month ago though and I am trying my best too about the relationship thing. But then I found out too that they dont seem to like you showing them a too know attitude. Maybe my bad sha.....I would not know....

benji93:
Hello Bros. Master's student at Bilkent here .Completed my Bsc at ODTU. Note: I may not be well equipped to provide a more informative advice, but i am doing thos anyway. To the best of my knowledge the choice of students for project largely depends on the project coordinator's exposure-past experiences, including education, and their mode of recruitment .At ODTU for instance some professors usually have at least a project under their coordination at a particular point in time and recruit student researchers from a course they offered some semesters prior. Since the number of student researchers allowed for these Tubitak projects is limited, the spaces get filled up by students-local or foreign- from the feeder system, unless the project is in collaboration with the ministry of defence. So there is a chance that admission of a foreign student into an Msc program won't come with the financial benefit of working on a Tubitak projects, or there won't be an opportunity to get on a Tubitak project. They could get it along the line though depending on the educational relationship a foreign student establshes with his/her advisor. Honestly the number of Tubitak projects awarded to each institution depends on the quality of research conducted at that institution, hence the research productivity of researchers. It also depends on the research area. So the smaller the number of Tubitak projects available the lesser the likelihood of you getting a Tubitak project to work on. Establishing a good student-professor relationship could prove vital, although some of the professors don't care. They would still take their countrymen over you. . But honestly, generally at the graduate level, research output of potential Supervisor should be the most input in deciding where to pursue graduate work. Keep working and strive make your Supervisor aware of your research potential. They might just get you onboard one of their Tubitak projects. I hope you get what you want. @wip7 , you remember me from North Cyprus travel? I hail ooo, keep up the good work Prof.

Thank you so much. I will surely get back

wip7:
Alright, try to publish in a quality SCI/SSCI journal....then register with Tubitak ULAKBİM....you will get your publication paid.


Best wishes!

You are such a good guide here. No one is telling us all these here. I am in Nigde Omer Halisdemir University. All they keep telling us is just to write reviews and submit to them. I don't have one yet. The one I have has been published before I left Nigeria. I plan to put up something reasonable from my Master's thesis before the year runs out though.

wip7:
There is no nationality clause. Anybody can get this funding and also get paid by TUBITAK irrespective of the nationality. To get paid for the publication by TUBITAK you don’t need anybody to apply through you only need your published paper and bank account detail as simple as ABC....do you have any published paper now if yes, I can guide you how to get the money too simple....

Last 2 months I got paid 33,000 TL directly paid to my account while i was evening teaching in Canada.

Do you have any published paper, tell me
The name of the journal I will tell you how much you will be paid ...

To be funded by TUBITAK, there are lots of funding that TUBITAK gives, you just need to see the one that suits your skills and qualifications. Although, TUBITAK 1001 you have to be Phd holder to be considered, so your supervisor can apply and then take any student to work on the project and you get paid monthly.

This is jaw-dropping ooo. Yeah, I am studying in Turkey but then I heard you can only apply through your supervisor before one could get funded by Tubitak. Someone even said its mainly for nationals. There is really a mixed description of everything jare.

wip7:
Yes, the universities in Turkey even enjoy more funding because Turkey is the mainland why Cyprus Island. All reputable papers published from universities in Turkey can get paid.

Reputable means: Your research article must be indexed in either SCI, SSCI, SCi-expanded and must be on WOS (web of science). What they paper per journal depends on the quality and how they qualify journal. The highest pay this year is 15,000TL (950 k Naira) per paper and the lowest is 500 TL.

Also, Turkey gives project funding to Universities in Turkey and Cyprus. In 2015, I got this project funding which I designed magnetic resins to recover valuable from Mediterranean sea....Now they give around 720,000TL (roughly 45 million naira) yearly for up to 3 years.

Are you studying in Turkey? if yes apply via Tubitak!

Best wishes!

Abeg bros, does money for publications apply for schools in Turkey too?

wip7:
I am happy the information is useful. Thanks for the contribution to this thread also!

Adsorptive Treatment of Heavy metal-contaminated water using Sawdust (biomass)

This sounds interesting. You can follow these steps and may modify them to suit your need. You will need to divide the entire work into 6 stages:

Stage 1
1. Sampling: a collection of the water samples at different sources/spots within the research zone/site.
2. Analyzing the heavy metal content of the water samples before treatment (record the concentrations and focus on the most prevalent heavy metal)
3. Storage of the water samples for further use.

Stage 2
1. Collection of adsorbent (sawdust) samples
2. Pretreatment of the sawdusts (washing with distilled water, drying and pulverized to uniform particle size) and label each (example S1, S2, S3)
3. EDTA functionalization of the S1, S2, S3 to produce heavy-metal selective adsorbent which can be named S1-EDTA, S2-EDTA and S3-EDTA.
Note: You will have 6 samples (Functionalized sawdust and raw pre-treated sawdust)
4. Pulverized all the samples (adsorbents) to a uniform size (note down the size)

Stage 3
Characterization: each adsorbent sample must be characterized. These are common characterization you can do:
a. Proximate/ultimate analysis
b. Boehm analysis
c. pH Point zero charge determination/zeta potential determination
d. Surface area (BET), pore volume and pore distribution
e. FTIR, SEM, TGA

Stage 4
Batch Adsorption process: here consider varying the following parameters for each adsorbent
a. adsorbate pH
b. adsorbent dosage
c. Treatment temperature

Stage 5
1.Kinetics (varying the treatment time): Consider fitting your data into pseudo-first order, second order, Elovich, intra-particle diffusion etc.
2. Isotherm (Varying adsorbate concentration): Consider fitting your data into Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, Temkin etc
3. Thermodynamic study (obtained from the temperature change)

Stage 6
Desorption, regeneration and recycling of the spent adsorbents
Economic and cost-benefit analysis regarding the treatment tech.
Comparative performance of your adsorbents and reported adsorbents for heavy metal removal

NOTE:
Functionalizing with EDTA will be useful to compare the performance of the adsorbent. by comparing the concentration of the heavy metals before treatment to after the treatment. Why EDTA? See below:

EDTA is a chemical that binds and chelates metals such as chromium, iron, lead, mercury, copper, aluminium, nickel, zinc, calcium, cobalt, manganese, and magnesium from water......and when they are bound, they can't have any effects and they are removed from the water.

If that's my master student above steps are what I will give.....please visit Science directly to find suitable articles to support you. Also, you can email me, I will send you some of my recent top-quality journals of adsorption treatment of heavy meta



Hello bros. You talked about Turkish govt paying publishers. Does this apply for Cuprus schools alone or with Turkish Universities too abeg?

wip7:
I replied your email. No fixed amount stated for Turkish student visa but as a Phd student above 2.5 m will be fine considering living expenses and tuition in Turkey.

Best wishes!

thank you bros.

wip7:
In north Cyprus you can apply for the following visas:
1. USA
2. Italy, Germany, UK, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark, Slovenia etc.

I have led my undergrad, masters and phd students to those countries and all my students obtained mentioned visas in north Cyprus ..

please sire I sent you a mail. thank you

wip7:
On-spot admission for Cyprus Science University

Undergrad fee per year is 2600$ and entire master is 2175$.

On spot admission in Lagos and Benin.

Contact WIP7...

abeg like how much is expected to be the minimum balance please, on the average.I wouldnt know if you have an idea. I am going for a PhD programme in Turkey. I want to use someone's salary account. It opened with a deposit of 2m but ending with a bit above 700k

folabiola:
There was speculation of around 750k to 1.5million.

That's pretty nice though, but I am still wondering on how someone would get his HOD to sign, in case of those intending to study abroad...PhD
