kunlewoye:

@ Jay Bee. Did you say lazy?!! I have applied to Dalhousie, Uof A, UCal, uni of Regina, Memorial University in Canada. I got to talk to an admissions officer each time and those pple were very curt during correspondence making me think Master's abroad aint for 2:2 @ all. In the UK I av tried Newcastle(where I was referred to their agent here in Naija), Aberdeen, HW, Cranfield, some I can't even remember! I tried NTNU and Stavanger in Norway as well. I am everything but lazy, mate, even with a job dat takes 12hrs+ of my time daily + weekend sometimes

What Info did you get from Cranfield uni?
What institution was your first degree from?
Have you tried RGU?

Have you tried Northumbria (check for the correct spelling)? They accept third class degrees. A Shell worker got his master's there. He joined Shell after his master's degree.

@Jay bee,

For Cranfield:
After successfully completing this(pre-master's) course, students can choose one of the following postgraduate courses offered by our School of Engineering or School of Applied Sciences:

Aerospace Vehicle Design (with options in Aircraft Design, Avionic Systems Design and Structural Design)
Aerospace Dynamics (with options in Aerodynamics and Flight Dynamics)
Computational Fluid Mechanics
Astronautics and Space Engineering
Thermal Power (with options in Aerospace Propulsion; Gas Turbine Technology; Power, Propulsion and the Environment; Rotating Machinery, Engineering and Management)
Design of Rotating Machines
Automotive Product Engineering
Motorsport Engineering and Management
Offshore and Ocean Technology
Process Systems Engineering (with options in Energy Systems and Thermal Processes; Process Systems Technology)
Ultra Precision Technologies
Welding Engineering
Advanced Materials



To be frankhe options obtainable post pre-master's don't quite suit me.



For RGU, though, they accept 2:2 from other countries, BUT not frm Nigeria as categorically stated on the website:

Subsea Engrng;

Applicants should have an Honours degree in Engineering or related discipline at level 2.2 or above and typically at least one year's relevant industrial experience. However those with other qualifications but with considerable appropriate relevant industrial experience may be considered.

kunlewoye: Hi All, I'd appreciate if I could have someone advise genuinely on this. I also have a 2:2 in Chemical Engineering, bt all the Petroleum Engineering schools in Canada dnt subscribe to my "kind"- sadly. Is there some program I can enroll in to stand me in good stead? Or a better one than I'm in? is there no hope?

With regards to the UK, there's a pet and gas engineering degree at salford university and there is the subsea engineering at strathclyde university, they both accept 2.2.

@Kunlewoye, am experiencing same problems as you , can you pls send me a mail, so we can put our heads together and see what we can do together..thanks..awele_andrew@yahoo.com

Hi everyone and @ kunlewoye; I'm sorry you had to go through such displeasures but I'm sure you are soon to find some satisfying remedy. On the other hand, I wish to express my desire- in search of names of canadian universities offering pre masters degree program in any oil and gas technology related courses.
I thank you most esteemed readers.

Pls, I am also in a fix. A different kind. I want an MSc in the information technology career path. I have a BSc in computer science and maths. What are my careers options and prospects as I do not want the computer programming line. Pls, advice. Also, I want a school in asia. A good school with a moderate tuition fee. Pls, be kind to enlighten me. As I am confused.

Of course u can get schools but definitely not a top school.

Please, can I get a list of schools?
