Universities, Colleges, Instistutions

Mrs Sandman's cousin from Nigeria wants to come to Libya to study computer science at Al-Fatah university.

I went along to their admissions department a couple of weeks ago with copies of her certificates (they didn't ask for Arabic translations) and they seemed fine with that.

Education in Libya is free, even to foreigners (if I'm wrong on this, someone please correct me, but this is what I understood from them).

Admissions for the next academic year (starts in September 2010) start in late July / August.

Hi All,

I do really appreciate this forum.
I 'll be going to Libya soon. My wife will be coming with me and I would like my her to join a university, college or institution. She wants to study Accounting or Business Admininstration or English Language..

Kindly can anyone tell me the possibility of this studies ib Triploi. If yes, how much it will cost.

A girl at my co. has been studying business admin at the uni here part time. From what I've heard your wife would be better studying with a uni for example in the UK, via distance learning. The quality of teaching materials will be much better and the qualification will be recognised more widely outside Libya.
This isn't a dig at the Libyan education system, but they don't have many resources yet and the standard of some of the lecturers they attract can be very poor.

Leicester Uni, school of management has good distance learning programs.

Al-Fatah is undergoing a major refurbishment at the moment, the 1950's and 60's buildings are being torn down and being replaced with modern buildings and facilities.

The Libyan govt has also done some sort of a deal with the British Council to bring in English speaking lecturers and most classes are planned to be taught with at least some English content.

If it's not too much to ask, what other distance learning universities from UK you might suggest for Drilling Fluids Engineering or Petroleum Engineering?

Try Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. They offer many oilfield engineering courses by distance learning:

RGU Distance Learning Courses

On it! Thanks!

Best place to learn DFE is with a mud co.,  12 weeks at mud school will teach you all need to start mixing obm/wbm & completion fluids. After that you need to get dirty to learn how to 'really' do it. When I started, the mud co.s wanted people with a science/geology/engineering degree and they'd teach them the DFE. Unless it was for on shore U.S. then as long as you had a checked shirt, were called Bubba and drove a 'trurck', you were already overqualified.

Is this a thin excuse for a Rednecks joke thread?

First rig I went to, a swamp barge off Morgan City L.A., the lead mud hand was called 'Cornbread' and proudly told me 'they don't come much redder or necker than me boy'.

You are

A single comment was off topic, after I gave information in response to a question from a forum user. Hardly a huge transgression. If we'd gone off on pages of jokes then maybe it'd be out of order, in this case I don't think I did anything wrong.

Dear All, Thank you very much for your replies.

That's very good. I 'll be coming and try Al Fatih Uni.

Sandman6: Can you please tell me what certificates and documents that I can bring with me to Al Fatih Uni.

Thank you very much indeed.

Your education certificates. GCSE's or equivalent.
