These guys are up to something... I like this speed!

Abuja, here I come 🚀🚀🚀

Well, for me I was asked majorly questions concerning my PhD proposal, questions like in 5 or 10 mins (can't remember the exact duration now), talk about your PhD proposal with focus on why you want to do the PhD research, innovations in your research and potential applications. Some people were asked how their projects can solve problems or how it is related to the oil and gas sector. They also asked some questions to ascertain the feasibility of my potential research. So, I will suggest that you get so familiar with your research proposal or SOP and own it such that you can answer any questions associated with it.

Also, for those asking about getting admission before the interview day, you don't need to have admission. Infact, most people don't have admission before the interview so having admission doesn't give you any advantage so relax if you are not able to secure one.

Reetah7:
please what was the interview process like? I’m clueless

Germany being in recession should not be a reason not to select it because advanced countries like it know how to ameliorate the effects of recession on their citizens such that you only hear about it in the news but you don't feel the effect much.

Also, if you get the scholarship in the GFM category, you can switch between Germany, France and Malaysia but not to UK and anybody going to UK can only go to UK and cannot switch to the GFM category. Though, for the 2022 scholars, there is a little exception for Germany scholars and they are allowed to change to the UK because of some delays with the PTDF/DAAD partnership but this is not usually so

It is true because by now, most applications to German schools for MSc programs would have closed for winter semester (October) but you can apply against summer semester (April) next year. German schools take a longer time to process admission unlike UK. But if you are for PhD and you get the scholarship, you can write to a supervisor at any time and if you get a positive feedback, you can start at an arranged time. You don't necessarily have to wait for April or October but this also depends on whether your supervisor is in a University or a research institute. I am a PTDF PhD scholar, I started the same year I got the scholarship, I got the success email around mid August, wrote to a supervisor and was lucky to get a positive response within 1 week and I started in November.

Please for someone without an orignal WAEC certificate, the chances of me getting it before my interview is 0. The states are far apart. What can I do? For the PTDF scholars, did anyone faced similar situation during your time?

I changed my interview center from Abuja to kaduna and I was still placed at Abuja. Anyone slated for Thursday 22nd and interested in car pooling to Abuja on Wednesday? Fuel matter get as e be.

Please, where is the interview center in Enugu.

Can someone guide me through Germany's Schools admission application process?

What are the steps or processes?

I have 2:1 and I heard that Germany gives preference to first class graduates especially for Visa approval.

if DAAD awards you a scholarship, you don't have any problems regarding visa! In fact, you can be issued visa within 2weeks! The issue of first class being given preference by the German Consulate is for self-sponsorship applicants

I checked a school in Germany, the deadline is 31 August 2023 and studies commence in 1 October 2023.

Can I still meet up? With PTDF scholarship, can be issued Visa within 2 weeks?


Should I apply to DAAD and the School website separately or DAAD only?

Pls someone should help with DAAD application process or the link?

Thanks

PTDF doesn't seek for admission for applicants. Kindly do it by yourself. Thanks

One of the schools I saw in Germany doesn't require international applicants to submit application via Uni Assist or DAAD. Just to school portal only. Is this okay?
