DMainMan:

They will probably accept it but u might be refused now that things as changed. Why not apply to other schools to be on the safer side.

Hello, what do u mean by things have changed?

Dmain man


With this issue of rating, Hope sey UI, UNIBEN and FUTO no better pass those schools like Coventry, Salford, Teeside, Napier Edinburgh University, Robert Gordon etc

DMainMan:


Is this for NDDC scholarship?

If so try University of Salford, Coventry university and University of Derby. You should get admission within 3 days.

They also accept 2.2 applicants. If you have 2.1, University of Salford gives instant scholarship up to 4,000 pounds. And another 1,000 pounds because you are a Nigerian. So 5,000 pounds saved. But bear in mind the schools are cheap because they are lowly rated.

Except you are rich, u can apply to top schools but you will need to pay additional money because 30,000 dollars might not even be enough for your school fees talkless of living expenses and accommodation. So choose wisely.

But if PTDF, apply to only top schools as your school fees and other expenses will be paid irrespective of the amount. So maximize fully the opportunity.

They are far better.

DMainMan:
They are far better.

Which is better, going abroad or staying back for masters

Topkush:

Which is better, going abroad or staying back for masters

Abroad. I mean schools in Uk, Germany, Canada and US as you will be exposed to lots of practical. You will also acquire skills and knowledge presently needed in the industry to excel.

This is unlike most Nigeria schools who still uses 1990's syllabuses which are of no use in the industry. That is why most companies prefer foreign trained student because they don't want to waste their money on training in this hard time. I don't blame them.
-
But Nigeria education system is quite good than some European schools because most PTDF scholars if not all passed out with Merit and Distinction.

When I say PTDF scholars, I mean those who wrote the aptitude test and passed. There is another set of PTDF scholars through backdoors ( staff list and politicians) and NYSC award. They are the ones getting poor result spoiling Nigeria image.

But don't be scared. The aptitude test list is based on merit. No ojoro at all. Pray you are among the best in your state. It was best six to seven in oil producing state and best four in non producing state in my time.

DMainMan:


With BSc Geology, U can apply to University of Salford's MSc Petroleum and Gas Engineering and you can get admission within 3 days.

They also accept 2.2 applicants. If you have 2.1, University of Salford gives instant scholarship up to 4,000 pounds. And another 1,000 pounds because you are a Nigerian.

The school fees meets Nddc valuation

Excuse, but I totally disagree with you on this. Maybe your school isn't comparable to any UK school, mine stands on par with the best in Europe with it is concerned with the course I am studying.

which school did you go? Those outdated style of teaching makes it better or approach of reseaching makes it best. is it copy n paste of our lecturers and students alike.
if yours stand out why pushing for foreign university when you can afford it your local hemisphere

I don't intend to mention names. My point here is, do not generalize. Not everyone went through the same system as you did, howbeit in Nigeria.

I am currently enrolled into a program here in Nigeria, and the program is not a copy and paste program, neither is it using any outdated syllabus. Do not always generalize stuff.

am not generalizing, my point is based on the fact that we lack the tools to be better than the least. the world ranking can give more light to this mention
