Studying at a UK University with a Unicaf Scholarship (Up to 90%)

[eLearner]

Nice find.

I did speak with the AI customer service. It's definitely the most intelligent university bot I've ever chatted with. It actually seemed to know what was going on and knew the programs, so that's a green flag. Almost every university bot I've chatted with was essentially useless and never knew much about the school or its programs. However, this bot gave me some different information than what you posted. It said:

- The scholarship limit is 80%.

- Liverpool John Moores University is not a partner now.

- No diplomas or master's degrees can be earned along the way to a doctorate.

- All of their doctorates are offered only through Unicaf, and that means The University of Malawi or the University of Zambia. Both are accredited.

- The University of Suffolk and The University of East London are their partners for a special set of bachelor's and master's degrees that Unicaf doesn't offer.

- The University of California-Riverside option is only for a Mini-MBA.

That said, the bot also kept telling me that the doctoral programs were mandatory 8 year programs and I know that's not the case, so it could be wrong on one or more of the points I listed. On the other hand, it could be right about the 8 years. After all, UNISA (though not affiliated) is known for having people in their doctoral programs for crazy lengths of time. I think I heard of one guy who was in for like 12 years? And not because he wasn't trying to get it done the whole time, but because of administrative hurdles due to the school having so many students.

In any case, for the price and flexibility, it looks like it could be another viable low-cost option. Lord knows North Americans need more of those, smh.
