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!

Hello House,

I am a graduate of Electrical/Electronic Engineering. I recently had my Certificates evaluated by SAQA and got an NQF Level 8. I graduated with a Second Class Upper degree, a good one at that.
I tried applying for a Masters by Research degree at the University of Pretoria,to my utmost surprise I was asked by the Admissions officer of the department of Electrical Engrg, UP to enrol for their Honours program and that I wasn't qualified to be admitted for Masters directly.
I was so surprised and furious, and sent her a mail telling her of my grades and SAQA evaluation but she reaffirmed that UP can only admit me for Honours.

It's really annoying! I can't imagine myself enrolling for a South African Honours degree after spending 5 solid years to get my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Nigeria.


Please guys I need suggestions on reputable schools in SA where I can do a Research Masters degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering.


Thanks in anticipation.

Bear in mind that Schools with low tuition fee shouldn't lead to low budgeting. Cuz most of these places have high standard of living from house rent to feeding.

Plz whatz the likely estimate for the cheapest possible monthly house rent

Sir applying for another transcript is waste of time and money.let your contact person in SA visit saqa and ask for the date and where saqa sent email to (registrar office or deputy registrar or record office) and request saqa to resend the email in his presence .

MrOlah: so if they make their admission decisions by sept/oct. That means they will still be admitting this year yes? When does their session start for postgraduate please?

samtol4: Recently I discover high rate demand for science,accounting and math teachers in SA if u re sure of your ability and u re in SA .pls google the following site.1,indeed job alert ,2jobsportal south africa and jobrapido .some pay 20krand
per month while some pay 100rand per hour .the least maths teacher get 8krand depending on your experience.for people like us wey no sabi calculation na God go help us

aaqeelah10: Can I get the form at the high commission in VI during this break?

TYPOP: School CANNOT be on session now dear. All schools are CLOSED at the moment. Your school will open on the 2nd of January. Confirm from here http://registrar.ukzn.ac.za/Sessional-Dates-2014/Nelson-R-Mandela-School-of-Medicine.aspx

However, selection for accommodation would have closed since around September or October.

Both of you should try sending a mail to the International Office asking them if they COULD pick you up at the airport and give you accommodation for a few days while you secure accommodation. Let's hope someone responds (cos of the school closure).

Cheers and all the best.

adewumigloria: I agree with @yinksobo002, DHL is more reliable and faster. I used EMS and it took like 2 months before it got there and they even finally brought it back to me saying no one came to pick it. I had to send it through someone that came to Naija and was going bck. If you need the SAQA results to go to the school you're applying for, then give SAQA that address and they will post it to them in a short time. It will also be posted to you as far as you have given your adress and you don't need to pay again as you would have already been billed for everything.

yinksob002: I will advise you use DHL because they are reliable. I once dispatched an urgent letter to SA and it got there within Two to Three days.

[/color]Hi Friends,
Please who knows about posting either thru EMS or DHL courier service from Nigeria to South Africa? How do the two work? Which of the two is cheaper?Which one is advisable for a document that needs urgent attention?Is there a way to ensure that same document return to Nigeria thru same mode?Please I need your contributions. Thanks!

[color=#000000]Hey Tosol,
I used FedEx which was about 12,000 then; I think to ensure the document return to Nigeria through the same mode is up to you and the SAQA guys; you will have to opt and pay for express delivery then you could contact them (SAQA) and request they use your preferred courier service.
As regards the aengus guys, I have contacted them via mail but no response yet.

aupcy@yahoo.com:
Thanks Tosol, i'll check it out. Have you tried calling the SAQA guys and explaining your plight? Or if you have the resources, you should just come down to Abuja; it is not part of documents required; although submission of applications ended for the year today and should resume first week in January.

aupcy@yahoo.com:
Hey all, especially those based in Jo'burg; can anyone shed more light on reasonable (convenient but very affordable) accommodation options and quite close to wits university? The one provided by my school is quite pricey; 60,000rands for the year. Please your assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you!

TYPOP: It's too expensive. If you trust the guy, you can go ahead and send the money. But I suggest you ask momentum to send their banking details and wire the money directly from Naija. That is a big possibility.

TYPOP: You need both a letter from him indicating he will sponsor you and a photocopy of his ID card. His bank statement with the same surname won't do the job.

Cheers and all the best.

iyiolami: @ TOSOL,Go for your study permit after 6 working days of submission.I submitted my application 14th Nov and i collected it 22nd Nov.At Lagos office,the lady in charge of submission would tell you to come back the next 6days.

adewumigloria: @tosol you don't wait to hear from them cos you'll never hear from them. I guess you were given a time to check bck. Like in my own case, I was told to come back in a month's time. I submitted on the 5th of this month at their abuja office.
You'll just need to be patient.
Cheers.

kulex2k1: Bros same goes for me o, I av been waiting 3weeks now, until I decided to call d SHCM and voila my visa has since been processed by was just lying around... Smh I was told to go pick it up by 3pm today it wud av been delivered to vfs. I hope dem gimme d visa sha. Lol

TYPOP: @TOYPOP,thks


adewumigloria has answered the cost part. While you can pay on the first day you get there, I always advise you prepare you may not finish on the first day. This saves you from any eventualities in case you need to get one or two more documents / photocopies. Why not plan to sleep over in Lagos and if you are now lucky to finish on time, you see it as an advantage instead of being left in limbo if you plan for a single day and need more than one.

Cheers and all the best.
