Great job you are doing here Mrphysics. At last I was able to get to page 40 of this thread. It has been an interesting read.

I would be resuming in Nantes next semester. You have already given me a foretaste, thanks to your highly descriptive write-ups backed up with pictures.

I hope to meet with you in person when I arrive. Kudos bro!

Good day guys! Please I need advice from those who know about or study at University of Trier.

How good is the quality of their postgraduate programs especially Environmental Sciences? Are the lecturers thorough and easy to relate with?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I think PTDF will be in a much better position to answer that before you'll be advised on what you may regret. Try contacting PTDF through their email.

Thanks. I have done that as well.

Congratulations to each and everyone that got it. To those that applied and didn't get, don't loose hope. There's always another opportunity. Please I want to confirm, is it possible to change country and course in which one has been offered the scholarship at this point?.

Please can someone help address this. I actually changrd my university and country during the update of profile before the interview but was offered to the same university I picked in the beginning. Is it possible to change please.

I was awarded too. Thank you Jesus

DMainMan:

Latest by July. Both OSS and LSS outcome will be announced together

Thanks for the update boss.

Yeah that was during the application. This time around, it's to update and the SOP has to be in PDF and they didn't specify the no of words.

I advise you stick to the 600 word limit.

Talking about the PTDF scholarship, I know 3 folks that were awarded last year one PhD and 2 MSc. Without any Publication and award and to further stress that the MSc candidates are 2:1 graduates while the PhD scholar had a 2:1 in his undergraduate and a Distinction from Manchester for his MSc. Sponsored by ptdf. When I got talking with them they all told me same thing its not about the awards and publications or first class but its about how u can successfully argue and defend ur proposal and sop.

I could tell from my experience this year, wen I got in touch with the panelists I was so happy that the lead panelist is a core environmentalist meaning I have someone that can comprehend with wateva I av to say in my field, quickly he asked wat research am I plunging into at Manchester, wat skills do I hope to gain and how do I envisage integrating these skills on return. I already contact with the center Leader Center for Atmospheric Studies CAS at the University of Manchester who had drilled me on the aspect of my propose research which is just a fraction of a project he is working on. After I finished responding to the questions, the panelist went try my documents and scored each of them and he told me that he will indicate in his recommendation section that I already have contact at Manchester that will aid my work and my propose research is a rare area and I will be one of very few professionals in Nano science if I decide to go for phd.

Overall my interview was fun and they congratulated me and told me to make sure my documents are well intact before I travelled. That got me shocked.

I never knew there was a comment section by panelist, I believe in as much as we all av al the documents awards and publications etc the panelists recommendations also counts. U can av all the awards and very good class of degree but if ur proposal ain't justifiable even with a high score, their comments on ur propose work might count u out.

I always believed that there must be provision for panelists to make comments especially about applications they deem exceptional. Congrats by the way.

I interviewed at UI with Panel 3.

Those of us for 12pm were delayed for a while before before being attended to. After the accreditation we were arranged in the order we would be ushered into the interview room.

When I entered the room, I greeted the panel (made up of three professors). Then I was asked to sit and state my surname and state of origin. I did. Then one of them had to ask me to spell cause he wasn't familiar with the name. He then requested for all my credentials and asked me to speak briefly (emphasizing not more than two minutes) on why I want to go on this masters program and why PTDF should sponsor me. And I did, making sure I kept to the time.

Then the man I thought to be the lead examiner asked what area of research I intend to embark on. And I explained. He then asked if studies have not already been carried out in the field and I said yes but explained the limitations of previous studies and the gap I choose to address. He then said it seems quite ambitious and I concored. So he expressed doubts about my ability to complete it in the short time of my masters and I explained that it's a study I hope to extend into future study (I.e PhD). He seemed satisfied.

Then the man who was going through my credentials said one of my awards can't be accepted (it was a list of five awards from secondary school). We had a slight argument about it, though I tried to be as humble as possible. He eventually agreed to recognized it as one award cos awards from secondary school are normally not recognized, and I thanked him. This plus my other 3 award made it four. He then asked if I didn't get any awards from my faculty in university so I explained that I didn't. My two publications were also accepted.

He then said I've done my best so all I have to do now is to pray that I'm awarded. I thanked all of them for the opportunity I was given and then I was asked to call in the next candidate.

Trusting God for His favour.

Help please

You can get on the bus going to Iwo road. When you get to Iwo road (the last bus stop in Ibadan), take a taxi going to Ojoo. Just ask people around to show you where to get the taxi. From Ojoo, you can easily take a bike to UI.
