SATS/UNIZUL

I have begun my doctoral journey with the University of Zululand through the South African Theological Seminary. I will keep the Forum posted as things progress. So far I am quite impressed with the level of responsiveness on the part of SATS & UNIZUL. Very quick, helpful and professional.

North,

I have found the same thing in my contacts with them.

Yes, please do keep us informed. I remain very interested in this school.

Best wishes!

Michael

 

Congratulations -- please do keep us posted!

Peace,

For some reason, I was thinking you were a doctoral student at Northcentral.

Best wishes North! I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did.

Congratulations, North!

 

Congratulations! I hereby confer the title of “Shaka” on you. This title is hitherto reserved only for great sons of Africa.

Hey, North!

Congratulations! I wish you much great success and satisfaction as you undertake this process.

I also would greatly appreciate being kept informed about your progress and on-going impressions of the SATS/UZULU outfit. While I'm quite likely to enroll in a PhD through Potchefstroom, I haven't entirely ruled out the UZULU doctorate. So, your insights would be of great service to me.

I would be interested to know who your promoter, how often he/she is expecting you to make contact, and some of the other basic details about your study arrangement.

Again, congrats and good luck!

 

I am within a gnat's hair of beginning my journey as well. I would like to privately compare notes with those of the group involved with SATS/UZululand.

 

k,

I haven't decided to study with SATS/UZ, but they were/are on my short list; I have had contact with them and am very impressed.

If you would like to continue private discussion, please e-mail me: [email protected]

 

Kfinks:

A gnat's hair? This is probably as close as one can get without making the plunge. Have you considered Potchefstroom (www.puk.ac.za) or University of South Africa (www.unisa.ac.za)?

 

CL,

Do you have a time frame you are working with here? When do you anticipate enrolling at PU?

Russell

 

Hey, Russell!

I do have a general time frame. As you may have noticed from my posts elsewhere, I am still finishing my MTh work with Spurgeon's College. I have a sneaking suspicion that, with the kind of time that the University of Wales' approach to things will require for my thesis to be passed and my degree granted, I likely will not be able to enter GST until July of 2002. I am looking forward to that very much, but am trying to attend to first things first.

 

Yes, and yes. Cost and convenience considerations weigh in SATS/UNIZUL's favor.

 

Peter,

Behave yourself. I don't think the Faculty of the Theology department at UNIZUL would be amused by that sort of initiation.

I visited your web page. You updated your picture (more casual). I see Australia loves all those neck tags as well (ID badge, security card). I think I have more tags than my schnauzer.

North

 

I thought those neck tags were verification of accredited credentials, sort of like military dog tags.

That might not be a bad idea. Anyone holding a credible degree could wear a tag which stated "My degree is real. My degree ain't from no degree mill. My degree is real."

Russell

 

Congrats, North. Does anyone know if UNIZUL offers DL in other departments? There doesn't seem to be any evidence of it on their web site.

Hey North - are you going to start a church/ Real live scrifices - virgins maybe?.

Seriously though, and you will have thought this one through, isn't having a relious doctorate from a the ZULU camp going to require about as much explaining as having a doctorate through MIGS?

Maybe the SA descriptor appears on the degree?

Come and get baptised by North PhD (Zulu) - you could end up with one really wild congregation - is you alter big enough to hold my mother-in-law/ ... and so on.

Me heart is a stirrin'...

Perhaps no more than an Aussie degree (e.g., Queensland) might possibly conjur up images of the wild outback, kangaroos and Aborigine's.

I thought you were inrolled in a MIGS doctoral program, Peter. Has that changed?
