There is no penalty for securing admission yourself from any of the listed universities, that even makes the journey shorter, as some University might have closed their portal by the time ptdf final list will be out. However, some grade A University like UCL, Imperial and so on will request for application fee amounting to £100 in some cases. In a nutshell, if you have the resources, go ahead and apply bro, especially, if your first choice program is a very competitive program.

That's why it's kind of confusing. The instruction says candidates should not contact the school that Ptdf will seek for admission unbehalf of people. But it seems those guys are beneficiaries already so they may not better. They are talking from last year's experience.

Chukeg:
People that won the scholarship last year especially that of UK, make una put mouth for this matter abeg. If na to start processing the admission make know

Sheddy79:
That reminds me! Who else applied for the Global Management of Natural Resources program, Currently administered by the department of Chemical Engineering @ UCL as first choice? Still wonder how ptdf is going to administer the said program. A program which has 8 modules all together, however, one of the modules, Social licensing is currently been administered by the University of South Australia, in Adelaide! With chains of field trips, spanning up to Finland and Norway. Hope PTDF took note of the programs schedules before they listed it? Make somebody no go tanda for abroad oh!

UCL has no application fees. For electrical, at least.

Sheddy79:
OK! Check your records, the Global Management of Natural Resources GMNR program at UCL has a tuition fee of £29,200.00 and an application fee of £100 for paper application and £75 for online application and a fee deposit of £2000.00

bataderemi:


No vex. I actually meant Imperial College. I mix them up. Also, that is for electrical engineering.

Is this annual fee or for the complete 3 years program?

Hello guys, I am one of the successful candidates for uk phd last year and I will be here from time to time to answer you Qs.
For those wondering if PTDF will secure admission for you, NO they won't, you will be responsible for securing admissions yourselves for all the overseas scholars.
Secondly, I will advice for you guys to chill and get the award 1st then worry about getting admissions later, cause I assure you, admissions won't be a problem once you have sponsorship (I got mine in 4 weeks and its a phd in univ of Manchester).
Lastly, once you have the award, you are free to change university of choice so far as the university is among the ptdf approved ones (it doesn't have to be the one applied for while submitting ptdf application), for uk scholars at least, don't know of other countries.
Good luck guys it shall all come to pass

Does neco/ssce matters for shortlisting for master or phd ??

ExpertNLer:
while this is good advise, for MSc there maybe some programs with early deadlines, people looking to study in one of those programs e.g Imperial College London or IFP school should look towards securing admissions, especially if they are particular about attending that school/program

hulm143:
Yeah sure, I remembered some scholars had the same concerns last year. But I think this year will be different considering the fact that the shortlist will come earlier than it does last, so successful scholars will plenty time to seek for admissions.
Again its your choice guys, there is no harm in having an admission before hand

dotbutter:
Good evening my beloved house, please i need information on how to go about applying for Total international scholarship while awaiting PTDF scholarship list. I stumbled on the scholarship while checking for something. It is a scholarship that partner with NNPC. Please i need anyone to private chat me especially someone who has once applied for the scholarship before. Please the scholarship application closes in two weeks from today. Thanks and God bless you

irumole1975:


The application is kind of coded, even tho it is online. There are some instruction you've to adhere to in order to acess the application page. Once you fill the form, they will send an email to you, pls check that email very well. Don't just assume it's a congratulatory mail that you've applied for the scholarship o.

ExpertNLer:
this is true, I expect that the scholarship advert will be out soon with instructions and everything - last year someone I know failed to fill the email that they sent after, and eventually did not get called for the exam

joshuachuks93:

Thanks so much for this. Someone dropped a post here sometime back that it's better to go for the interview at the state within your geopolitical zone of origin for instance I'm from the south east, that I should select to attend the interview at Enugu, that this gives an edge instead of competing with those from a different geopolitical zone that differ from mine. How true is it, was your case any different? Thanks.

hulm143:
No that is not true (for my last year at least), I am from Adamawa and I did my interview in Zaria. I'm sure if that was the case it will be stated/adviced by ptdf.

meemeeberry:
Pls for those that applied UK, do we need to also secure admissions with the chosen/preferred schools? And also do we need any test of English as a criteria for the admission?

irumole1975:


It's like a questionnaire where you're expected to fill in some stuffs,like CGPA

Between, did you applied for the common wealth shared scholarship which closed today?
