Obtainable Options For A 2:2 Grad In Canada, Us, Uk, And Norway. by kunlewoye(m): 12:58pm On Mar 05, 2012 |
Hi Nairalanders, I'm Kunle. I have a 1st degree in Chemical Engrng- 2nd Class Lower Div(2:2); 3.14 CGPA to be exact. I intend to put-in for a Master's degree program in Offshore(subsea)/Petroleum Engineering at a reputable school in one of the mentioned countries: CANADA- I tried the 5 schools offering what's close to what I want and also contacted advisors and admissions officers alike whom, after being told I have a 2:2 degree, wished me luck and said goodbye each time. These are the schools: UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY UNIVERSITY OF REGINA DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY Meanwhile, folks from MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND take SECOND CLASS and are willing to review my credentials but the problem is application has been closed for 2012 admittance since Nov 2011 and I don't get to apply until Sept 2012 when the forms are out for Fall 2013 start date! UK- well, I really have not checked ALL the admission requirements of the schools and dunno yet which ones take 2:2 of Aberdeen, Newcastle Uni, London South Bank, Herriot-Watt, Imperial College, Cranfield, Robert Gordon. US- I know most schools here require one to take GRE, TOEFL and whatnot but I really need advice from you guys. Norway- DOes anyone know anything about University of Stavanger or Norwegian University of Science and Technology(NTNU)? Pls I need help badly and urgently, too!. Kind regards!! 1 Like |

I forgot to add this: is it advisable to bother myself with GRE knowing the school won't take someone with second class lower division anyway? |

Hi bro, i have been on this same issue for the last 8 months. Don't even think of putting your hopes on MUN. I have same grade as you do (3.17), applied to MUN in Nov. too but was rejected in February. For Uk institutions I will advice you pick out of strathclyde, london south bank, cranfeild or university of salford Manchester because they are the only one that accept a 2:2 from Nigeria for PET/Sub-sea Eng. I hope i saved you some time of rigorous search with this info. 1 Like 1 Share |

@Solomon, you just are the best, mate! It's really hard for an olodo like me...lol. So which one(s) exactly have you settled for? Do you think it's worth it going to all these consultants for them to handle your applications? What do you know about US schools? Would a good GRE score stand you in better stead with these US schools, despite the fact you have a 2:2 degree or one shouldn't even start to bother? Plssssss come back and replyyyy!! Thank you |

The consultants thing depends, it is only advisable for U.S or Canada but for UK its a total waste of money because you can easily get admitted by just filling applications to schools online. For schools in the U.S with a good GRE score you might get admission if you are lucky, I'll say its not certain but you can give it a try. 1 Like |

Ok. I have tried Strathclyde and lsbu. Shld start Salford application today. I must admit I realy am nt down with the lsbu ranking, mate; too low! Bt an olodo like me isn't actually in a position to b picky. I wIsh I cld get more petroleum/subsea/offshore engineering options that admit olodos with a 2:2! Thanks a lot, mate- appreciated. |
Re: Obtainable Options For A 2:2 Grad In Canada, Us, Uk, And Norway. by solomonokeigar: 5:44pm On Apr 13, 2012 |
I totally understand bro, then you should go for Uni Salford or strathclyde. strathclyde is in Scotland the energy center of UK plus there are lots of Nigerian over there. 1 Like 1 Share |

So solomon which did u pick eventually? Cause I'm in a similar predicament |
Re: Obtainable Options For A 2:2 Grad In Canada, Us, Uk, And Norway. by kunlewoye(m): 10:27am On Aug 08, 2012 |
I was offered admission by both schools. I chose Salford because they offered me Pet and Gas Engrng. I ignored Strathclyde because they did not inform me initially I'd need an English test score and it was almost too late to start preparing as I was hoping to be for September intake. Awaiting my visa. |
Re: Obtainable Options For A 2:2 Grad In Canada, Us, Uk, And Norway. by Emmaokudu: 4:42pm On Aug 09, 2012 |
Which English test to be exact, I thought the English test were for candidates from countries where English language isn't their first language. Cause I'm considering strathclyde , I'm thinking of doing a masters in one subsea related course I saw on their brochure. Any ideas if Robert Gordon may accept a 2:2? Although the requirement clearly says 2:1 for Nigerian candidates. |

Although the requirement clearly says 2:1 for Nigerian candidates. IELTS(preferable) OR TOEFL should do it. You already have your answer. It's stated on their website they take only 2:1 from Nigeria. I was also going in for Subsea Engineering bt opted for Salford instead. |

beejay_brave: Apple checkout "www.concordia.ca" they've been looking for you!! Hope I helped! Are you sure they've been looking for him? As far as I'm concerned 2:2 is a no-no in Canada. Trust me, I tried my best, even with my brother being a National there. I'm now in the UK, though. You should prolly let him try, but make sure you've got insurance, just in case. Goodluck! |

dolpaz: Hey bro, for extra olodo like us who also had financial issues during school, and crazy lecturers and finally ended up with third class, what can be done?? which country can i get a school offering m.sc in computer sci/ or comp engnr in europe I'd forget about North America. Look schools up all over Europe. I really do not know much in this case. In my own case, I discovered the Canadian schools were a waste of my time so I opted for the UK where I'm almost done with my programme. |

ukyasna: Hello guys! How about the medical fields, Biochemistry to be precise. Which of the above mentioned schools should I put in for with a 2:2?I'd like to advise you to look up these schools yourself. You really would do yourself a world of good knowing exactly what you're getting from a particular school and not just applying to any school someone conjured up for you on Nairaland. You could try the UK ones. North American schools are a waste of time when you have a 2:2 really. |

GBYB: good day elder! Plz be specific, how much in Nigerian currency would be able to fund a masters degree in the Uk. plz start with ur schl. thanks cos i would love to do it over there but you know 'poor pple like us'.It's not really like that, mate. Depends on which course you're putting in for. I majored in Chemical Engineering in my UG and doing Pet n Gas PG now. The normal range is usually between £10k-£16k (budget 3-4M for tuition alone). Apart from accommodation and upkeep. and I would beg you to not think you can just come and "rough" it here. You will spend at least about another £5k (at least) on accommodation and maintenance. You really don't want to be getting notices about dues and rent expiry. These people no easy. 4.5-5M should do it. I'm being very candid |
