I would like to know that, does anyone has an experience with UNISA (University of South Africa) online degree programmes ? How are there examinations conducted ? Are they conducted throughout the world ? and how much they cost ? I am from a China, and have financial constraints. What could be a best place to have a cheapest and recongnized MASTERS degree Thanks for your support.
Andrew Jackson University is US nationally accredited (DETC) and might be able to offer you a sponsored masters degree at very little cost. You would have to contact them to see if you are eligable. Sponsorship info here: http://www.aju.edu/partners.asp
Hi - At UNISA I believe that most Masters degree programs are research oriented, not "taught courses." This means that postgraduate students don't need to travel to exam centers. There are exam centers set up all over the world but they are primarily for the undergraduate students. You can find the one closest to you by looking here http://www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?Cmd=ViewContent&ContentID=17553 Also, this FAQ link may help http://www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?Cmd=ViewContent&ContentID=19340
Got of laugh, on the F.A.Q. section, someone asked about TUITION (question#2), they answer the question this way: 2. What tuition method is offered? UNISA is a distance education university; we offer no residential classes although discussion classes and tutorial (TUTORIAL) classes may be held. Note however that these are not compulsory to attend and are not offered by every subject.
Hi Paul - Yes, it's a bit amusing when we discover that other cultures use words differently than we do in the USA. Your observation is a good example. For people in the USA the word "tuition" refers to cost. In other places it means the manner in which teaching occurs. This is not unusual as the link below will reveal. Please note definition #2. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tuition You will also find that in the Commonwealth universities, they have a tendency to refer to "courses" while we in the USA might say "degree programs." There are other examples but I don't want to cut into your fun.
