Hi doombridge, this is really informative. I'd like to know if the scholarship is for all successful applicants. If not, how much is the fee. Hope no conditions are attached to the scholarship

Thanks man.

hi gemstone, to the best I know, for the past two years, all students have been on full scholarships. This year, who knows, things might change a little, but be certain that all excellent students shall be given full scholarships. For detail info, contact by email [email protected]. Goodluck!

Thanks, my man! Can someone apply for master degree in Elect/Elect? Becos d course is not listed there but only computer science and engineering.

Hi 4five,
For now, as you can see, AUST offers only MSc/PhD in Computer Science and Engineering. Consider your present degree and make your choice wisely. Cheers!

Hi Clemzo,
Actually, the government of some Northern States have negotiated for some slots in this year's admission, also PTDF shall sponsor about 30 scholars, but so far, admissions have been fair and strictly based on merit. AUST is stricly for excellent students, and for this reason I will advise any average student not to apply. This might sound unfair, but to be forewarned is to be forearmed our elders say. Goodluck!

Hi Everyone,
Note that AUST is not a Nigerian University, it is owned by the Nelson Mandela Institute (NMI) whose Chair is based in Washington DC, USA, and as such NYSC Certificate is NOT needed for the application. Sharp Naija Corpers who could "do runs" about their primary assignments should apply. Also, excellent final year students graduating before June can apply.

Hi Everyone,
Remember, just 30 more days to the deadline for AUST 2010 Admission. NOTE: No Application Fee!

AUST is African University of Science and Technology and the school has students from different countries in africa.
The exam dates will be communicated to the shortlisted applicants. I think the exam entails Maths and Physics and maybe Chemistry for Material Science and Engineering.

@ doombridge, i wonder if we have met before becos of the tone of ur statement; by the way, i only came to abuja briefly on a visit.... ???

I am also limited to the info that I get from the website and that which a friend told me.
u quoted me well , my statement starts with " i think" not becos i av the info but because it's what someone thinks it should be. there is possibility of it being correct or wrong.

if you have any info, u can always communicate it to the house.

@ Doombridge and greatdon. Pls let's resurrect this AUST exam format.The date of the exam has been fixed for 7th May,2010.
Or if anyone in the house knows the format or has a friend in the school that knows the format,pls let's hear it.
@Eznira and ajaniadesina, av u guys made up ur minds?

Cheers

@kaypapa, just coming to this thread for the first time. for me, i am yet to make up my mind. the stress of travelling to abj without them refunding me transport fare, is enough for me to just shun it and go for my shell exam which is also that same weekend.

Please does anyone hv any idea or gist about the nature of this entrance test?

i wonder why this thre for applications ad wasnt resurrected in time.... they actually moved their closing date till april 30th... i guess i ve missed this one too... i jst always manage to be behind schedule for all this skool thingy... maybe skool isn't my style!!!!

@Ufuoma77, i think u can still meet the deadline if u can scan the requested doc to [email protected] as written on the website. There's also a phone number in the contact us page.

Wish u the best

@gemstone thanks for offering to help... but it is technically impossibble to achieve that bcos of the need to ve references sign. COnsidering where my references are, i cant make it....
I wish all the applicants the best. More so i cant even make the trip to Abuja.... the stress is too much

hey, peeps! watz up wiv this thingy na?! wat are we expecting come nxt fri? is it obj or theory or calculations.

@ eznira, like I said in the other thread, try and give it a try. I learnt that those candidates that are going through PTDF don't av much probs. And the school is world-class. I guess u've been to their website.
It's well by God's grace.

@Ufuoma77, u can still speak with the contact person and see how it goes. Meanwhile more opportunities and success lie ahead for u. I wish u all the very best.

@brainzzxxx, I think it's obj. And I guess u're one of those AUST sent the exam guide to.
All the best
