Has anyone applied to the PhD program at Unisa for the upcoming term?
How long does it take to receive the results?
Do we need to submit SAQA certificates?

For Unisa, there is a levy for students in foreign countries (R11,685 = 623 USD).
I would appreciate any information on how to reduce or waive this fee.

UNISA has been talked about before, they're an awesome program and length of the program is comparable to ones here, the pricing also has shot up for non South African permanent residents or citizens.  They're a great option, but I would also keep options open in other countries as well.  I've kept them in my list of doctoral program options too...

do you mean that UNISA is hackable? How fast could one get an online degree from UNISA if it is comparable to the degrees commonly spoken about on this forum?

After carefully examining the detailed feedback in the sister forum degreeinfo, I cannot classify UNISA as hackable since there is no way to expedite the process, and the program typically takes several years to complete a doctorate. Additionally, I have found only a handful of success stories, which leads me to speculate whether the program's affordability makes it easier to abandon at some point.

If you're searching for a potential alternative, I highly recommend exploring Stellenbosch University. Following thorough research, I applied and received acceptance into their doctoral program. My plan was to accomplish my doctorate with VUL and then subsequently return to Stellenbosch in late 2024. Their application process is straightforward and their communication is excellent, with an average response time of two days.

My city used to house Canada's educational agent for UNISA. I've found many mentions on the sister forum that without an educational agent, UNISA is an absolute nightmare to navigate without an agent. This was back a decade ago, UNISA seems like even more of a bureaucratic quagmire now these days.

I asked for a list of new educational agents but I never got a reply back, probably because it is an administrative quagmire.

ANY luck on those educational agents? Thanks.

My understanding is you need the patience of a philosopher to work with them without the agents to guide you through.

Anyone?

UNISA had an agent for North America (Canada & USA), but that agent hasn't been working for a few years at least...

Dr Michael Esslen and you are right, not sure if he doing it anymore. I used him and he was great

For aspiring doctoral students able to attend in person, many doctoral programs waive tuition and even offer a modest salary in exchange for teaching or performing research. Depending upon a number of factors, it might be possible to conduct research remotely or teach online students. For those pursuing a research position, I strongly encourage you to make contact with the professor(s) with whom you will assist to persuade them to request you specifically.

They are a dime a dozen , you can check out university of the Cumberland's phd in leadership they accept transfer credits and could be completed fast if you double or triple up on the remaining 42 credits. Liberty university is another option which accepts 50% credits towards their doctoral degree leaving you with 30 credits and classes are 8 weeks each.

Can 30 credits be split 2 sem? How about dissertation and oral defense?
