PROVERBZ:
Does anyone here have experience with PTDF? I’m interested in the Advanced Mineral Development master’s program. ChatGPT suggested it, but on closer inspection, the program runs in three countries, and only one is in Freiberg, Germany. How does PTDF work? Does the whole program need to be completed just one University in a partner country for it to be valid?

Hi, two things to note though:

1. PTDF sponsorship is for courses related to the Oil & Gas (Petroleum) industry. So you'd have to select a course that ties into that. Mining I'd say is outside PTDF's scope.

2. PTDF has select Partner universities in UK or Germany, France and Malaysia. You can only select any of these universities in your application, and cannot move between schools or countries.

Cheers.

Quick Question Please

I have 3 courses for my PTDF in mind,

1. Msc Data Science Engineering

2. Msc Data Science

3. Supply Chain Analytics (Supply Chain and Managment is the old name on PTDF portal)

I am afraid that the panel might think my 3rd courses don't align with my first two and might raise alarm, my actual goal is to learn machine learning to optimize supply chain operations thats why i choose my first program. do you think I should remove the supply chain and add another data science course as the 3rd? The ultimate goal is to specialize in the supply chain domain as a Data Scientist

There is an error with my name while creating my account. Can this be corrected please?
NB. I spelt surname halfway while creating the account.

I think it's just fine. The focus is really on your first course. Your SOP could even be built around just your first course (I think that's even how the portal puts it). But then, if you are asked for any reasons, you could just explain as you have done now. Be sure to already state that the reason for your interest in ML is to optimize supply chain operations. That already ties your interests together and anyone seeing your choices should understand.

Regards.

I'd like to think so. Tried editing it within your profile?

We have a dedicated group for PTDF scholarship applicants.

How can you ever make progress with this kind of mindset.
Instead of applying you are busy whining. This is how you miss opportunities.

Like I said, most of the MSc uk winners already know they had won via the call. This year I was told it was very stiff; many people tied on same points but lost for other reasons. PTDF is not the end of the world. It will hurt, feel the hurt, cry if you must and then move on. There is so much more to life. Big Congratulations to all the winners, and those who didn't, your YES is coming, in this or other beautiful aspects of life.

Hi, Please any update on 2026 batch? Please any update you can give is very welcome

When should we expect feedback form PTDF after the interview?

Likely by the end of August or early September. Most likely early September
