<p>Hey everybody!</p>
<p>So here's the deal, I'm currently studying chemical engineering at Northeastern University in Boston, but recently heard about the petroleum institute in Abu dhabi. I have no knowledge of how well reputed this college is but it sounds very promising even though it's fairly new. I would to know enough information about it to decide whether it's smart to transfer or not. I also heard that they give you a job straight after in one of the petroleum companies garunteed after graduation. </p>
<p>So does anyone know anything about this institution?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I know alot about this instution since my brother was studying there .
Look it’s a great college , very competitive , top students in the country usually go there .
I don’t know if you know this but it’s completely free , no tutuion fees . Plus you don’t have to worry about anything there , in-campus staying is free , 3 meals a day also free , they wash your clothes once a week for free , they give you health insurance for free , and if in case you need glasses you will get one once a year for free (( not sun glasses though 
))
About the job , honestly they do say that job is guranteed , but when my brother got into there he discovered that no it isn’t guranteed . It’s guranteed for UAE nationals only . However , they have taken SOME non UAE nationals to work for them . So no one knows , work hard and stand out and maybe they will take you to eork for them . </p>
<p>By the way my brother transfered from there, not because it’s not good , but there was an issue (( personal stuff )) so he had to transfer .</p>
<p>Feel free to ask any further questions ;)</p>
<p>Also i forgot to say something .
My brother’s friend was studying with him in the petrolium institute , he graduated and they sent him to Germany so that he continues his Masters and Phd for free also , currently he’s in Germany completing his Masters degree (( he’s not UAE national BTW )) , they are paying him everything plus they are giving him a salary for personal expensis . But you have to stand out and show that you deserve it so that they send you to complete your Masters.</p>
<p>IS it also free for international students?</p>
<p>As far as I know , it’s completely free for everyone. But Contact admissions just to be sure. Cuz I honestly don’t know about tha admission process for internationals.</p>
<p>what is the situation for international students applying for the masters program? i know that there is a fellowship program that covers all school-related expenses but is there a salary??
also, what happens after graduation? i understand why the institute gives priority to UAE nationals but is there a decent chance of getting a job after graduation for internationals?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey, i wanted to know if the students are provided with laptops??</p>
<p>Right now I’am doing first semester in BS in Industrial Engineering in a university in the UAE (Mechanical and Industrial engg, first 2 semesters are the same).</p>
<p>Now, after an year can I transfer to PI, Abu Dhabi?</p>
<p>I’m not a UAE national. So for transfer students what are the criteria?</p>
