Topic: 2009/10 PTDF OVERSEAS MSC & PHD SHOLARS

@Beewhyfocus thanks a lot 4 ur eyeopening contributn. U r a concerned scholar indeed.
Pls what can u say of some of us that hav not been offered a place yet? Hope it won't affect our travelling at sept? Or you think they will give us a place at any schl by all means? Are they going 2 invite us 4 induction too??

Pls reply because am bothered and l dont want 2 miss this golden opportunity.

Thank you for ur orientation b4 d induction.

beewhyfocus, i really enjoy your contributions!
Keep it up man!

@ Topson 44
Thanks for your compliment too. If you can still get admission for yourself you might try to just to get your choice school. However, if you can not, I am reassuring you that there is no cause for alarm as PTDF will try as much as possible to fix you up by all means. And if in the worst case scenario, which is not likely to happen, they were unable to do so, there is every possibility for deferring the scholarship till next year. But this did not happen in our time even though people that Got admission still had the opportunity of deferring by a year. So be calm, PTDF system is different from normal Nigerian corrupt system of dis-enfranchising people. You have got it and no one can stop you again. Never worry, everybody will be invited for the induction as it is an open invite.

I would advise you to keep calling Sam Mc kinstrie of Univation, they are the one in charge of admissions and not PTDF directly . You might want to check www.ptdf.com for Univation's contacts and www.ptdf.gov.ng for PTDF infos.

Hope this helps!

@ de-wise
Thanks for you compliment too, how much can I do to contribute my little quota. I have been in your shoes before and definitely know how you will be feeling now. Its normal, so I decided to make my little contribution back too.

Please if you know anyone coming for Mechanical engineering in University College London (UCL), please dont hesitate to link such fellows with me. I believe I could give some info that could help them with ease. Like Newton said; "If I have seen any farther its because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants (people that had gone ahead of me)".



I wish you all guyz well, U will all succeed!

Yours in scholars struggle.....

@ beewhyfocus,
I still want to appreciate your enormous contributions.....More grease to ur elbow!!

It appears the global recession has put pressure on UK universities this year with more graduates than usual choosing to remain in school for postgraduate programmes rather than face a tough job market with diminished employment prospects. Apparently, many schools have already met their quota and, in my opinion, may have a tendency to favour their own undergraduate students in admissions. I've heard quite a number of applications for top schools were rejected, including mine at Manchester University.

I'm a little concerned that some of this year's PTDF scholars will not get the same opportunity to study at what are considered elite schools as those from previous years had. However, I will acknowledge that any chance to study in the UK is still a great opportunity and many times too much emphasis is placed on reputation over substance.

I have been following this thread for some time, and have found the contributions very helpful, particularly those from the past and current scholars who have taken the time to ease some of our insecurities and concerns.
