Hello, please what’s the exact cost for masters in Business Admin at EMU so I can plan accordingly. I tried using the tuition calculator on their website but I don’t know how many courses I would be taking so I feel I didn’t get the accurate amount. A response would be really appreciated.

MBA at EMU will cost you around 7300-8000$. You will be taking 7-8 courses plus thesis and seminar. That’s inclusive of 50% scholarship!

Hello,

Wip7, I sent you an email. Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks.

I replied to your email.

Horpsy5:
mechanical engineering, not really,he was formerly in unilag upto 200 level but had to drop out due to family issue, so now he wants to start all over in Cyprus

If he has the Unlag transcript, it will be helpful.....will ask a University this week and get you updated.

speakout2015:
Thanks so much Prof.@Wip7...you're always on point in term of details...grateful!!!

Thank you also for your contribution!....the thread will need your support regarding your challenge in terms of research, area of research and how others can learn, scholarship opportunities and anything!

Horpsy5:
good evening sir wip7, do all schools in North Cyprus have age limit for undergraduate.....is Dr anyone dat does not av age limit say for 29years

The issue of age limit for undergrad is actually the ministry of education decision in Cyprus ....some universities play around it though...you may look at the newer universities....I don’t know any for now.

Tell me the course the person want to study and has the person any other documents or what the person doing since ? This may help me convince the university.

Anazp:
thank you so much. the school has sent my credentials acceptance letter to the airline email they provided. please where are they to send these things to again?

Apart from airline, Your details must be at immihratok at ercan and those will send to Turkey. So if your details is with the airline, are you still not allowed to fly and what is the reason given now ?

Please call the school to follow up and will help to call also tmr but call early to ensure all is okay. They will surely fly you.

Anazp:
the embassy has closed for applications as the school delayed my acceptance letter. I used ok to board. but the school has sent my details to turkey Turkish airlines that they are expecting me

Ok I can see the issues. To enhance the student process via each immigration port, universities in Cyprus have been mandated to upload all acceptance letters and credentials and recent photo of their incoming students. Your case, is mainly due to your university might have not updated your files to port at Turkey.

Kindly email your university international and registrar offices and call ....only them can upload and ensure you are allow to travel after necessary docs and details sent.

Meanwhile, I have also made a screenshot of your message here on Nairaland to their registrar and international offices email... right now!.....today is holiday in Cyprus, will further call them tmr in case you are still not released

I hope it get sorted ASAP....hang on!

Profeme:
Thanks,Prof. Wip7 for this timely information.

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

7. When you click on about the journal, you will find relevant information like the aims, type of manuscript accepted and details
8. To know if the Journal is FREE or You have to pay to publish, click the GUIDE for Authors
9. So, in the Guide for authors, go down until you get to a point that shows SUBSCRIPTION, if it gives you details about the Subscription, then means this is a free journal to publish unless you choose OPEN access. So if you want it FREE just select their regular SUBSCRIPTION (what its means is that, after you publish your paper will be on their website and only universities or individual that subscribed can download a complete paper).
10. The details below in the Guide for Authors show you how to format your work and all details needed
11. To find the coverage or database the journal belongs, kindly visit Clarivate website (https://mjl.clarivate.com/search-results). Here, you will see the true database.

Note, there are a bunch of fake journals, especially the many indian publishers' ([b]this is not a stereotype, just my observations and widely known trend) they just charge you to publish in their Journals. So, the usually list fake database or impact factors on their websites, kindly visit Clarivates for authentic coverage. [/b]

I hope this helps...........best wishes!

FINDING FREE REPUTABLE JOURNALS TO PUBLISH YOUR MANUSCRIPT

Free simply means, where you can publish without paying to publish. Reputable means the Journal is INDEXED by an Internationally acceptable database: I will list below the database, the first 4 are well-known and acceptable and the fifth one is New and not yet widely accepted for now. Take note that any journal that is indexed by the first 4 databases will also be in SCOPUS but not all SCOPUS journals are indexed in the first 4. Some universities also accept SCOPUS based journals but ranked it lower. For instance, in my university currently, you will be paid around 500,000 Naira if you publish one paper in the first 4 as a single author/shared authors but you will be paid 250,000 Naira if you publish in just Scopus-based journals:

1. Sciences Citation Index/Sciences Citation Index-Expanded
2. Social Sciences Citation Index/Social Sciences Citation Index-Expanded
3. Arts & Humanities Citation Index/Arts & Humanities Citation Index-Expanded
4. Medical Citation Index
5. Emerging Sources Citation Index: this index includes "peer-reviewed publications of regional importance and in emerging scientific fields (it is new).

Here are the steps to follow:
................................................................................................................

Almost (98.%) of journals published by Elsevier Publishing company is free to publish, 80% of those by Springer, 80% of those by Taylors & Francis.

Just visit any of these highlighted publishers type the title or possible title of your manuscript to be published, you will find journals that have published that in the past. Check the details of the journal (like aims, coverage and title that they accept to be published in this journal), then check the author's guidelines to follow the publication format and submission system.

For example, I picked one of your research areas: "Migrants entrepreneur and settlement challenge"

I will use Science direct (Elsevier as an illustration here, a meanwhile similar procedure is required for Springer and others).

1. Visit science direct website (this has majorly articles from Elsevier): https://www.sciencedirect.com/search/advanced
2. Type possible title or some keywords in that textbox and press search
3. After you search, you will discover that there are about 966 items already published in this title or something related as shown below
4. You can then refine as you like, you can decide to pick the research or review articles, books or if you want to focus on a particular year...just refine as you wish. The arrows in blue show the name of the Journals. So you can check the journal to find more details regarding its aims, coverage and publication.
5. You can also read the abstract of each work to see what was done, you can download the PDF to read the full paper.
6. To find the details and coverage of the journal, as an example, I will pick the first journal: Social Networks. Here, you will find the metrics (impact factor and cite score of the journal), the Guide for authors and About the journal.

Blaqqvyb:
Hello good evening everyone. Please can I get wip7 email address? I’d like to forward my documents to him for masters admission next year. Thanks

I replied your email already!

mekanta7:
@wip7 I have a bsc in marketing with cgpa of 3.45. Can I get a masters program that has a partway with US Canada or Australia. I will start my first year in Turkey or Southern Cyprus (not Northern Cyprus) and complete the second year in this mentioned countries.

Yeah you can get a master degree in Turkey or south Cyprus. However, transfering to Canada or USA will depend on the university you wish to transfer to. But from my experience it will be difficult to transfer at a master level due to the time frame unless the university have joint approval. The universities I rectruit for in Turkey and south Cyprus don’t have such agreement.

You may rather consider starting from USA, Canada etc. You can search for universities in those countries!

jpride:
. I have my first degree and will like to go for master's degree in North or South Cyprus. @Wip7 Please sir can you be of assistance to me? If so, how do I contact you?

You can find my email in my signature.

briliantsak:
I remember reading this thread when I was about starting my PhD program last year. It was really helpful!

Thank you I appreciate and your contribution is highly valuable.

I always feel happy to see African excelling and I believe with strong and highly competitive CV, one can attain several heights.

North Cyprus

I would not have replied this, however for the newbie on this thread. This particular thread of North Cyprus started in 2009 and I have managed this thread since 2009 under the username wip/wip2/wip4/wip7.

I studied in Various countries (Nigeria, Germany and North Cyprus etc). I am a Professor in North Cyprus, co-researched/co=researching with various universities in various countries and I am/have been adjunct professors with universities in Canada, USA and UK.

I have worked in the international office of EMU, I have worked as vice dean of the faculty of Engineering at CSU and I am working currently at at EMU. I have lived for years in North Cyprus, owned properties in North Cyprus and I have supervised over 30 masters and PhD students in Cyprus and also co-supervised in various countries. Academically, I am the first and only graduate of EMU that graduated PhD with over 35 reputable research journals and I have benefitted from Turkish funding for my projects to the tune of 1million Turkish lira and am also applying for the same this year.

I have visited 72 countries for now and 65% of them all from north Cyprus. Citizen of 3 countries (two achieved from north Cyprus)

Also, I own a company that recruit interested students to study abroad and I don't charge my students for admission and NO SINGLE STUDENT WILL SAY WIP CHEATED ME OR LIED TO ME that CYPRUS is HEAVEN OR HELL.....(I have always told the way it is). My monthly salary is above 1 million Naira currently and earn a lot from my research so am not your regular agents that sit down to feed on students.

North Cyprus is not for a poor or struggling student...its for people that can survive financially and ready to study...with full determination and acquired skills such students will go far..........because I also studied in North Cyprus, become professor, earned all via a legal and smart working pathway....

I dont write all these to boast......and I know not all can be like me.....just to lay it that irrespective of countries you find yourself, define yourself, plan, focus and always go for positive goals.........most important make your country proud, everybody can achieve if each has laser focus, ready to acquire skills and develop in order to compete globally. When I was studying at EMU, I want to prove a point that a person from Africa can be well successful and am happy today. Contrary to a few coming from Africa and delve into drugs, yahoo and other various scams..............From my records, we have more than 40,000 students from Africa that are studying or have studied in north Cyprus but I can tell you we have just less than 40 that graduated with PhD and we have just 3 currently at Associate Professor level and less than 10 at Assistant professor level. But on a bad side, we have had more than 1000 that had been jailed or deported due to Drugs and SCAMS..............We need focussed, determined and honest people to change the orientation of foreigners towards Africa (Nigeria specifically).

We don't force, terrorised or beg people to come and study in North Cyprus.......if you are interested to study and have the finance, want to succeed and ready to do the work....you are welcome.....if you think other countries will suit your goals.....please go to other countries, do google search to see what fits your goals..............NOBODY forces or put a gun on another student to study any place.

As an academic, if i publish 10 papers in EMU per semester..........what I will get as a single author is roughly 21, million naira. and I have achieved more than that......If any of you in EMU please come to my office and am around to guide who is interested in research and acquiring skills, how many universities you have in Africa that pays you when you do research? How many students are ready to acquire skills to establish their own independent company? Please know why you are travelling and design your own future.....

Best wishes!

My Latest research: TURKISH-EU joint funding

Extraction of cellulose from bacteria for fabrication of photocatalytic sponges for recovery of valuable phenolics from wastewater and microbial removal.

The recovered phenolics are in demand in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

The project consists of postdoctoral, PhD and master students working in my lab.

Please what about Turkey admission we talked about

The master program is 6000$ for entire program and only few of the school runs master in nutrition in English. Admission for Turkish university for Spring 2020 is yet to opened, as soon as its opened I shall update you on full details

Feyang:
Which help

You have 25 posts on Nairaland and 23 of the posts you kept begging for 2k-3k ....you really need help.

Admission for Spring 2019-2020 is now opened

Interested to study in February 2020? The admission is opened now and the earlier the better.....

Prof Wip7, Sir my interest is to eliminate heavy metals in drinking water in my area, we have high cases of kidney problems, I am just suspecting the heavy metals in our area and the septic tank pollution. Which technology can i developed to be adopted at households to treat their water of heavy metals before drinking. Need Guidance.

There are various heavy metals contamination that leads to poisoning and kidney problems including Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium and Mercury......Take note, the kidney is the first target organ of heavy metal toxicity. The extent of renal damage by heavy metals depends on the nature, the dose, route and duration of exposure.

So before you design any treatment technology, you must identify which heavy metal contained in the water, concentrations which will be compared with permitted limits/standard and possible routes/source of contamination.

To do that test, you will need to collect the water at different points and time ...if you have Water testing kits and skilled you can analyze the water or rather take the samples to lab using AAS to detect the dosage. Collecting the water at various spots or sources will likely help you to locate the route of the heavy metal. Ensure the water collection bottles are not contaminated before being used.

After analysis, then you can design either physical(adsorption) or biological (plant or organism) or hybrid treatment method in a small scale to evaluate the efficiency of the methods against the real and treated water samples.....then the effective method can be scaled up.....

Chechem:
Good evening everyone,
I am so pleased to have found this thread. I am contemplating going for my PhD programme but what I am seeing here is really making me scared, as if it will be a very challenging task and if I will be up to it. However, from observation, the thread consist of more science scholars, I may be wrong as I have not gone through the entire pages.

I am an intending PhD student, with
B.Sc Political Science(UNN)
M.Sc Public Administration (NOUN)

I am considering Public Sector Management or Human Resource Management for PhD but in Imo State University(IMSU)

Areas I need clarification are:
1. Are there possibilities to get funding for Social Sciences courses and for Nigerian Universities?

2. What are the procedures for PhD? Must I first get a supervisor, get research topics and have published works before I can apply?

3. For my chosen areas for PhD, following the trend, which area is more promising to venture into.

4. Can I be working and running a PhD programme?

Thanks everyone. God bless us...

Since your proposed university is IMO state in Nigeria, if you are in Nigeria, it will be better to visit their website or the university physically to learn about the PhD admission procedure.

For research areas in your proposed PhD area; you will need to the findings yourself (that is what PhD student/candidate do)......You learn how to search for information on reputable and trusted academic websites visit the like of science direct, google scholar, Mendeley, Springer, Wiley, Taylor and Francis websites for research in your field.....check common research in that last 15 years, see what is possibly missing, check recent research title in the last 5 years see the trend of title/topics/area researchers in your field is moving..........connect the dots, meet reputable researcher in your field discuss your proposed research and get it fine-tuned.

Best wishes

Raxxye:
I want to say a hearty thank you for your very useful contributions here, Prof.
I took time to read through your every post on this thread (and that took me some two days) and I must say I'm wowed by your vast knowledge in virtually every area related to science and engineering!
If I had seen your posts two years earlier, I guess I would have been better guided in my research choice area. Nevertheless, I'm happy for the guidance you are offering here and it has really opened my eyes to see that research does pay afterall.
I am a PhD student of Environmental Geophysics here in Nigeria, working on subsurface tracer transport monitoring using 3D electrical resistivity methods.
I'll be reaching out to you for some advice relating to obtaining software for analysis and publications in reputable journals.
Once again, thank you for finding time to respond to just about every question and for the very resourceful posts you make in here!

This is lovely. I like your area of research....its very interesting, I once visited Swiss institute of tech (ETH Zurich) I met researchers working in that area and they were looking at integrating the tomography into mobile app attached to a tracer sensor.

Best wishes.
