I'm starting this thread for all those who applied for the scholarship and are looking forward to getting a Masters degree overseas. i want it to start from herre till when we get there, you know wat i mean,beyond this shores. We'll post info on possible areas of concentration for different fields of study,info on the school you are admitted to,you cud meet someone going there to you know,notifications on those that have been contacted for the test and the interview if there is going to be one and how fast we can get there,
This is only 4 those who are not satisfied with a first degree in naija
If its good better love it and dont playa hate

anyone has an idea of what to expect for someone who is going to do Masters in Chemical Engineering?

I wrote the same exam last year with Esso. There are three sections.
1. verbal aptitude questions which contain three options.
2. numerical reasoning purely graphs and charts
3. Questions on your field of study.
For Chemical Engineering questions, it is similar the same thing with the questions for graduate Engineer(mobil recent test).It contains different aspects, thermodynamics(polytropic, adiabatic calculations), heat and mass transfer.
For others I don't know. But the numerica is very simple but you must be fast( there is binary conversion and subtraction from one base to another.)
I wish you the best.

pls sk8, let us knw how to apply for the next scholarship. tnx, awaiting ur post.

Hi sk8,i'm also applied for the scholarship.Pls,if you guys receive your letter,let us know.

Binary conversion? Base conversion? I thought it was only graphs n charts? Isn't it just SHL??

Also, who has any info on what the geology section of the test will comprise? HELP!!!!!!!!!

thanks 4 your contribution ABJ001,its peolple like u we need on this thread. But what really happened last year? and are you gonna try this year again?You will get what you want.
for those inquisitive about how this works,justjoe et al,primarily u need to have gotten admission in a REPUTABLE university overseas,by overseas not malaysia or Cyprus but Uk,England or canada. Now this years' is no longer open but you can get prepared for next year. apply early,try the ten best schools in each of those place aforementioned. other scholarships for overseas universities that you can start applying for for next year includes Chevening scholarship for commonwealth universities,the prelim form is out,search it out on this site.
Anybody applying to University of Sheffield?

hi guys and chics! thanks so much for the useful info. anyone with info on what mech eng would entail?
if you did the graduate engr test as a mech engr graduate earlier this year what are the fields that were tested?
thanks. you guys are the best.

@sk8erBoy,
very funny, are u trying to be judgemental in this regard?
Too serious guy, u are too serious.
Well, how you get to know all this?
Make u tell me oo

Hi Gabrielle,

For all mechanical engrs hoping to take the test.

I did d graduate recruitment test 4 mechanical, the professional part was basically strength of materials, design and few mechanics questions. Also few questions from basic thermodynamics(like using gas laws to solve for Temperature, Pressure and Volume). This part has 30 questions for 1 hour.

Again the 1st part is general aptitude (numerical, logical-diagrams & verbal) these are relatively cheap but u need speed too.

All d best. See u on top.

Bamdil,not sure what u mean by i'm being to serious, and judgemental? its simple, if its not gold it never can be,but the major reason why things do not work out for people is not just bad planning but not planning at all. you dont get ahead by sitting on your behind.
and how do i know all these stuff? the internet and read widely. if u want more info just ask me.
Reiz girl 10x 4 the valuable info. more grease to your elbow,hope the mobil reult favors u.

hi,
I also had an admission in 2006/2007 in the same university but i contacted them and deferred my admission to 2007/2008 session. i currently have a letter of admission to that effect.

Therefore i encourage you to speed up the process of negotiating with manchester so that you can have an offer letter to present to mobil.

Explain your situation to manchester telling them speciffically that you are reqquired to present that document to your intending sponsors before they can grant you sponsorship. They could easily send you a well scanned copy of an offer letter to that effect.

Hello,

As regards thhe field section of the Aptitude test.
Is it objectives or essay questions??

hi house,i'm kinda jittery at this point cos i'm yet to be contacted,don know if evryone is supposed to write on the same day and what criteria they used in shortlisting. still in service don mean you dont qualify cos they said we cud,batch b 4 that matter. well ive been studying,not sure if i shud still be expecting. Are the invitaions jsut by emails only,no courier?
Just to encourage the rest of us, Delay is not denial and when one door shuts,others open.

Hello Gabrielle,

Yea I've gotten my invitation for the test, but I'm sort of skeptical coming down to Lagos for the test.

I actually applied for the scholarship stating 1 year as my duration of study but then the school l applied to (Newcastle University) later gave me an admission stating 2 years as my duration of study for Pipeline Engineering.

So with this I don't really knw for now if this contradiction will affect me in anyway.

Still thinking of what to do anyway.

All the best.

Rez,
I suggest you come down, get the one year and later you will work out the rest detail, before the end of the one year you might get something up.
For those who are interested in applying, the advert will be in the newspapers,or stay connected to nairaland, I can assure you that you will get the info when it is available. See you at the top.
