However,there is an NNPC/ESSO Scholarship thread where any one who is interested can follow up discussions.
For the time being lets try to keep this thread on the first page till the NDDC Scholarship List is released.Wish you all success.
@Cacking as to the bolded statement, I meant I dint have, but if I did i would use bcos rather than complaining all the time about a situation i cannot change, i need to accept that i cant do it alone then manage the situation to get a better deal. that reminds me...have u or anyone else ever talked to someone about how difficult it is to get a job in Nigeria and the person replied 'forward me ur cv let me see what i can do?' what exactly did u think the person wants to do...fill the boring online application pages 4 u? nope! they wanna either send it to a HR person who will invite u for a position u never knew existed let alone applied OR they are trying to impress you into believing they have the connections to do same. my bros call it referal or man know man, as long as it gets u the job u are capable of doing well, then i'll call it... 'my divine helpers doing what God has mandated them to do 4 me' or 'the law of attraction getting m what I focused upon'.
My only problem is with unqualified, sorted-2:1, unemployable but well connected idiots relying solely on their well placed referee to get them the job rather than compete with their mates. I wont mind losing a position to someone who is my 'mate' but who happens to know someone. no instead i'll work hard to be that person who have the referal advantage next time.
Anyway we have flogged this issue too long..Seriously they have removed the interview page ...hopefully to replace it with the expected page. this is where the 'crawler' comes in...abeg start ur work. lol
hehehehe... lolQuote:

In which case you just need to adjust your observation perspective and you will be fine.Quote:

Nobody knows anybody that knows somebody in nddc make them tell us wetin do our list? @wiseguy has invited every1 2 d playground,guys lets honor d guy!

I've heard about tuition free universities in France, Norway, Germany and SwedenQuote:

I wont near Norway especially after that psycho boy's shoot out. Ok when did the tuition free option stop in Sweden and Norway. What other routes could be taken to gain a tuition free education in Europe? How about Finland?Quote:

Does anyone think this is something advisable?
N|B am just trying to make sure through healthy generation of ideas everyone could have a back up study abroad option just in case NDDC results don't come as expected.
Please contribute guys.
Yeah, my problem with most of these supposed "tuition free" schools bothers on the quality of their education. Moreso, in a place like Oslo, Norway, you are most likely to indirectly pay up for the supposed "free tuition" through the quite expensive cost of living.Quote:

I actually take the Satelite campus as a great idea cos in the end you have the Main University campus certificate and that is what counts for alot of people in nigeri. Lots of people careless about the quality of education they have in any uni, they just need the certificate as long as it is abroad.Quote:

@IsiomaP, do u know any of such tuition free schools in France? If yes I'll be glad to give such a try. I av a conditional offer with Centrale Nantes, though I used a UK uni for d NDDC scholarship. Won't mind going to France considering my flair for the french language. I av obtained a Niveau B1 level of proficiency in the language.
@ all, any useful info is welcome.
I read somewhere that all public schools in France are free, so just check these links or try http://www.mastersportal.euhttp://en...=38&level=3Wat course did u apply 2 study in centrale Nantes n wat was d tuition fee like?Quote:

I put them on different lines, don't know what happened but thanks @truz
i also think skools in malaysia are also good, and their tuition fee is less than N1million with low cost of living
@IsiomaP, many thanks. I applied for MSc Civil Engineering at Ecole Centrale de Nantes and the tuition is £12,000 per year for 2 yrs.
@Truz, many thanks too.
U r welcome.Quote:

But I think their educational standard is a bit high, when compared to Nigerian schools. University of Nottingham, Malaysia campus charges about N2.5 million as tuition fees for some MSc in Engineering courses.Quote:
