The NNPC/TotalEnergies ETT Fellowship is offering an exceptional opportunity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to experience a fully-funded semester teaching.
The NNPC/TotalEnergies fully-funded semester programme is brought to you by the MISTI (MIT International Science and Technology Initiative) NNPC Limited and TotalEnergies Upstream Nigeria Limited (TUPN).
The aim of the NNPC/TotalEnergy programme is to facilitate the contribution of Nigeria's soci-economic development through the promotion of quality education by virtue of partnerships with famous institutions that are at local and international levels.
The ETT fellowship serves as a laboratory for emerging education innovation with the creation of impactful transformation in the academic sphere of Nigeria tertiary institutions as its major goal.
It was gathered from research that the standards of some African-based tertiary institutions have retrogressed due to the outright neglect and lack of investment thus the mission of MISTI is to map out a creative strategy to approach science and engineering education in African universities who are yet to adopt a focus on troubleshooting, innovation and creativity.Requirements for Application
