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 successful marveloncy1:ly 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. |
