Bros with all due respect to you and what you know, I just might know more about IPS than you do. I know the opportunities with IPS and their affiliations but we can't compare an M.Sc outside with anything in Nigeria. I have friends and lots of them for that matter but then dem go still tell you say away dey better o. Let's just leave the argument as you suggested but I'd end it with this. Any school in the UK is better. Trust me on that. I'm talking out of experiences from people, past and present. Thanks.

Bros no vex... that's a FALLACY OF HASTY GENERALIZATION!

I still maintain my stand... IPS is under Uniport and have other affiliations... not just professional courses, but award Msc and PhD degrees.
I'd prefer it to many schools offering similar courses in the UK!

I'm very sorry for slightly derailing the thread though... We are all here to share ideas, aren't we?

First of all...
I am a past recipient of this scholarship and I can tell u that NDDC does not have any affiliation with the UK embassy as getting the visa is entirely up to you.
As regards the TB test, I suggest you book a test at one of the test centers and do it whole waiting .
If the balance of your scholarship stipend is less than the required amount needed for upkeep than I also suggest you have an alternative plan.
I believe the list will be out this week though even people working in the education department have no idea when the list will be released. As of late last week the list was already with the MD for approval so Fi gers crossed

see ginger o...I'm looking forward to Wednesday afternoon.
what if one forfeits his original admission and takes a course in one of the nddc schools (full funding), does it mean one is exempted from the 28days before one can apply for visa??
my reason for saying this is that most schools in the UK are affiliated to the UK embassy and such may grant exemptions.

Good for you. But NDDC's 17800 pounds won't cover ur living expenses and accommodation so it means u have enough cash to settle that.

I have another scholarship. Just rooting for you guys for NDDC since we started together before I got the other scholarship.
Re: Nddc Postgraduate Scholarship 2014 by chivitech: 1:10am On Aug 11, 2014
csimms7: I've been following all what you all have been saying and I have one thing to say to those who said they'd forfeit. That's real weak talk. Balderdash. Rubbish! Forfeit kor forfeit ni! Na lack of information dey kill us for this one country we dey oooo! Let's look at the facts here. As stated the first school in Nigeria to appear amongst the top schools came in at about 3000, all the schools affiliated with the nddc fare way better than that. IPS we are talking about is not a university. It's for professional courses! It's like going to India for a professional course in automation, instrumentation and control that's why it's expensive and their affiliates also. Let's argue here with facts. We are waiting patiently and I pray we all get this then make I see una wey wan forfeit.

Bros, e go better for you ooo. Abeg make dem dey deceive themselves. na fear dey make them talk like that. Dey are just consoling themselves.

Before going to the visa application centre (VFS) to apply for visa, does one have to book for an appointment?

U need to show proof of funds (7200pounds) as living expenses. ..that's the minimum amount for a year for those in London and for those outside London the proof shud be 6000 pounds

U are not exempted. ..point of correction , UKBA is NOT affiliated to any school..If u cannot show proof of fund nothing for you . For those going to Coventry University this is not a problem as the school fees is about 11k pounds leaving you with about 7500 pounds which is more than enough

Scientist how far, any useful info for us this week?
Re: Nddc Postgraduate Scholarship 2014 by crown86: 5:32pm On Aug 11, 2014
@Global careers....

Is okay to book an appointment before visiting the VFS for application submission. It is wise to fill the online forms, book the date and time for the interview ( though this could be effected when you have made the visa application fees online) and print out the automated generated form on the UKVI website.

You can visit this site: https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ and google some information

I will advise you stick to Heriot Watt University, Manchester is also expensive unless you like to consider another related programme like Petroleum Engineering at Teeside University. Fine if you have a second class upper.
