Sammie pls can those with 2.2 apply too.cos it was statedthat its only for those with 2.1 can we give it a try, what do u think.
sammie77 thanks a million, do u ve any idea how much there school fees is? Thanks once again.
Any one applyin for this programme should sit up and be prepared to face those over strict Uniport lecturers. if you know any uniport gratuate, you can confirm especially from Engineering..
The School fees is a little over a million naira..U will first write a test after paying the N10,000(non-refndable)..They admit only 20 people..This programme has been on fr about 4 years now, and 20 has been the max number f slots..Its a very good program. As fo those that made 2.2, i must tell you the truth, no need applying, unless you are currently working with an oil related company that is willing to sponsor you..and mid you your CGPA must be atleast 3.0 on a 5 point scale...The problem is just passing the aptitude test and the school fees..Unless you come from a walthy backgroud, i'll advise you start looking for a scolarship grant..I made a 2.1 so am going to apply..BUT I PRAY I'LL SECURE A SCHOLARSHIP BEFORE THEN....Please don't mind what people say about uniport lecturers, most of the lecturers are even not from uniport but from France... Even the lecturers from uniport are one of the best..unless you are a lazy student which i know u aren't..otherwise u wouldn't make a 2.1 in the first place..Don't be discouraged..Wish u all the best..GOD"S GRACE

The IPS only have limited slots for admission; so it restricts the requirements to as stated above. The fees before this publication i.e as at February, 2009 on my personal visitation/enquiry was $15,000.00 fifteen Thousand US dollars. I doubt if there will be a change.
Thanks
I think this is a good one for all those who really want to get into the oil and gas sector. If you are qualified, just give it try. As for the fees, you just can't tell, you might just be lucky and you will get a sponsor. But first things first, the application and the test.
Wishing you guys all the best!
ONE LUV!
$15,000!!! Father Lord provide for me ur son.
Na wa o. $15,000. So, na only the children of the wealthy dem want say make ttem dey go the oil and gas industry. Dem papa, dem mama!
God will help us.
Please Sammy, those that read geology, can they equally applied?
L
15,000USD= 2,550,000NGN almost the same as doing ur MEng in canada.This is suppose to be opportunity for Nigerian but the cost is simply outrageous.is IPS not under Uniport which is Federal government University like FUTYola,UniBen, ABU, and the rest?
What about local content development? can't IPS encourage Nigerians?
However, I am not intimidated. I am going to apply
