@yakmut : but leeds university was not stated in the mail... how about newcastle uni.

@bigdaddie u can still apply 2 newcastle,it will also take abt 3days 2get a conditional offer pending on when your referees respond to their emails then it will be converted to unconditional,i'll recommend leeds because its a combinatn of env.eng'ng & project mgt while newcastle offers just env.eng'ng,but there's no harm in having 2,then u select your preferred choice,but whatever the case maybe i'll advise u finish all applications b4 this week runs out & update ptdf on the 1 u feel u'll wanna go 2
U guys can apply to university of sheffield they offer the course as environmental and energy engrg, heard d skool is a very good one

@sani4all thnx 4 ur piece, i hv appld to newcastle nd hoping 2 do same 4 oda sch's bt u knw we hv priorities in lyf. Thnx once again.
I don't even knw if the ptdf guys are even treating our update on the portal they created. They are too silent
I knw dat ur 1st priority s imperial nd most of d scholars here in d forum. Bt jst for u nt 2 fully relay on dem givin u a harsh suprise @ d end of d day. Jst take experience 4rm yakmut nd odas dat hv'nt disclose dias.
hello guys,
did all your schools require TOEFL and IELTS before giving you the admissions.
@ big daddie: nope, Imperial, Heriot watt & RGU do not require TOEFL or IELTS. The fact that you were taught in English suffices for them.
@sani4all: Imperial aint for everybody, my dear....:rolleyes: no offence meant.
i knw dat my guy, its mostly meant for 1st class nd 2-1 student which s the requirement of most of us here, if am nt mistakingQuote:

Pleas scholars....is there a way i can convience Heriot watt so that they can release my offer in due time......i was given a conditional offer frm Newcastle but i dont hav much interest in dat course and they demand to pay 1,500pound or i should send my evidience of sponsorship .....i prepared that of Heriot Watt University....and it seems lyk Hriot watt is taking much tym....WAT SHOULD I DO
^^^ Pray Heriot watt gives u the offer maybe before july end when PTDF induction might be and u could use that for ur application. The truth is that the onlie course update by PTDF is to enable them organise the scholars together. It isn't a do or die affair. By that I mean, no one will slaughter you if u decide to to chanhe to another school/course after filling another online! In fact PTDF always encourages better/more expensive schools. Goodluck engineboy05.
I think ptdf should carry us along.most of d skools are awaiting for contact from them to issue CAS and I don't knw what is keeping themm
I just got an email from Univ of Manchester. They are ready to issue me a CAS Number, but they said I have to pay 1000pounds deposit of my tuition fees first, or send them a copy of my official scholarship letter from PTDF.
Good day all am one of the scholar too, I applied for Msc Health Safety and Environment, I have gotten three conditional offer from three university, cranfield gave me msc in Health and the Environment, University of salford gave me Msc in health, safety and Environment and Birmingham university gave me Msc occupational Health, safety and environment. I would have prefer to go to cranfield but the problem is the msc health and the environment no safety, I need u peoples advice pls
@ Olumighty147, What I suggest you do is talk to anyone who has attended any of these Universities (I don't really know any of these schools) and try drawing up a Pros vs Cons list for each of them. Which one has better connection to Industry? Which has more comprehensive course modules? Which caters the best to your expectations?
You could also get phone numbers for the course contact and ask your questions. They would be delighted to give you the school/course's unique selling points.
Nice one, but I would suggest from my little idea that you analyze all the modules offered by both schools and align them with what you have already studied in your undergraduate years, if it happened to be your course. Then go for the one that would give you new ideas and more info, but must be in agreement with what you have already studied. Then, finally check the uk uni sch ranking for 2012 and see their positions there.
I just got a mail from uni leeds after the shakara by imperial regarding an unconditional offer. Though Leeds does a combination of envtal engr and project mgt, but has lesser modules compared to some schools like Newcastle and Sheffield.
Please lets have more ideas on this as I’m very open to new info.
@alice, you have been very wonderful here, please keep up the good job.
Thanks guys
@spacyzuma, does dat means u've been given a conditional offer? I also applied 2 Manchester 4 MEAM, i received a mail ystady 4rm dem asking me 2 send my transcript to enable dem decide on my application. Am still yet 2 get my transcript 4rm my school.
The issue with ptdf is communication, there is no email u send issues to, the numbers to call are seldom available..and most schools need you to provide a letter of sponsorship from ptdf before unconditional offer can be granted.
however, ptdf has been in the bizness for a while so, lets do our beat and leave the rest to them. by that i mean secure as many offers as possible..u neva can tell.
^^^ PTDF will rarely communicate with you. However, they will clear all ur doubts during the induction and will also offer all scholars the sponsorship letters but never before. The only problem you will face by securing unconditional admission/no CAS letter/no ATAS letter(if needed) is that you will not be able to apply for visa during the three-day induction. That means you will have to come back to abuja to do all these again. Its quite stressful!
@enobong... i support what you said. its a good thing to do. as many offers as possible.

After I got the ptdf scholarship, I simply emailed Manchester to defer my admission to this year because now, I had a scholarship. They did it within 2 days. :D . I've accepted the offer, and I've applied for accommodation too.
Just waiting for ptdf to issue official letter of scholarship to me so I can get a CAS number. Though I already have another CAS number from University of Leeds [elecrical power and renewable energy]
pls house, who knows if PTDF allows one to defer his or her admission to the next session? if yes, how do you inform them of your decision? thanks....one love.
Guy, DON'T TRY IT OOOooooh. This batch could be the last to enjoy the scheme.Quote:

Important Information for PTDF Overseas scholars
If you are coming to the UK in September, then this news is for you. I know PTDF tries as much as possible to make allowance and maintenance payment to you. However, if you have some other plans running, this might not be fully adequate for you. I am talking from my experience as a former PTDF scholar at the university of Manchester. There is an easy way to earn some extra pounds between £15-£25 per hour no matter any part of UK where you are located. It is based on how much time you can spare in weekends as it is flexible. All you need is to be able to teach Maths , Physics , Chemistry and any other subject at the GCSE or A-levels. Check the sylabi on www.aqa.org.uk , www.ocr.org.uk , www.edexcel.com. This is somewhere between SSCE, UTME and university first year in Nigeria. All you need is to go to this website and register for free so that prospective students in the UK who need private tuition can contact you by the time you arrive in September onward.

If you know the town your university is located, put the town under address and ignore specific address details except you know the specific address. If you are not sure of which town , then put any speculative town that you think you might be eventually as you can always update your details later. This is a good opportunity for you and it is my own little contributory secret to your smooth sail in the UK. I was already making about double PTDF maintenance even as a student while still having enough time for my studies.
Cheers

Hello All,

Remember to inform the house of admissions gotten, challenges being faced or any other contributions.
Two or more heads, we know are better than one.

Also, has anyone heard from Heriot Watt or paid Imperial Pet Eng. fee deposit?
