Ok from what I understand these interviews are only for the guys (PhD) that couldn't interview in 2020. Yes?

Nekypalo:
My interview date is Monday the 14th, I don't know if it will still hold if that day is a public holiday (June 12, Democracy day).......!!

Anfieldboss:


Mine is june 14 also....I don't think the public holiday will affect the interview, if it will affect the interview, we will be informed latest next Saturday June 12, 2021.

emeritus007:
@kolladey, how far with your journey to Germany? I hope you are seeing these updates and have applied for admission.

kolladey:

Good morning Sir. I have changed to France and admission has been secured.
How are you doing sir?

emeritus007:

Very fine my brother.
Awaiting final list.

kolladey:

You will surely get the Scholarship sir.
May all your heart desires be granted.

StressFreee:
I have a question please, must one secure admission before or after ones name is on a final shortlist??

kolladey:

Not a must @bolded

Saimeritus:

Admission is a must. PTDF doesn't give admission.

Saimeritus:
Most of you guys that will make the final list without admission will eventually defer the Scholarship till next year. I'm a 2019 Scholar but still in Nigeria cause of so many issues.

mrphysics:

Drop all messages here bro, I will try my best to respond to them at my earliest convenience.

Thanks

When you google IMT Atlantique, the website will appear. Check the different research units of the school, write the professors. It's just the normal way bro. There's no other special way.

But you shouldn't expect a response from most professor especially if there are not taking any PhD candidate. The response rate is generally less than 1%. It's normal.
I wish you the best bro.

subcbouy:
In addition to what has been said, always check the professor area of specialization and ensure your research topic correspond to this area if possible recent research topic area of professor specialization.

MarvelJ:


Many thanks bro. Been battling with it gor some time now. Even made a friend to help type in french and send them an email. But they replied with something thats a sign of non affirmative.

mrphysics:

It's normal bro.

Keep sending, don't get tired. Try other countries too.

MarvelJ:


Thanks will definately look into that. Even though i got another offer from salford. Dont know if they (ptdf) will accept it even though my choices are french universities.

subcbouy:
I have seen scholars studied in US & Canada with PTDF funds. But I don't know if these scholars had some internal officials that helped them.

MarvelJ:
Are there any questions on ptdf for phd scholarship interview or its strictly proposal presentation?

A help will be really appreciated

emeritus007:

In the past, scholars were sent to the US. But not recently. The partnership now is with UK, Germany France china and malaysia.
