jawaban selengkapnya ada di link berikut : http://www.itb.ac.id/usm-itb/nas-t-3.htm(tentang tata cara pendaftaran) dan link http://www.itb.ac.id/usm-itb/nas-t-2.htm(tentang persyaratan peserta).

__________________________________________

berapa sih biaya masuk ITB tahun 2011?berapa sih biaya total belajar di sana nantinya?

Jadi, biaya pendidikan di ITB ada dua:

1. Biaya pendidikan di muka (BPM). dibayar satu kali di awal masuk ITB. Besarnyamaksimal Rp55.000.000 (ada diskonnya juga lho. makanya baca sampai akhir ya)
2. Biaya pendidikan per semester (BPP). dibayar setiap awal semester kuliah. Besarnya Rp5.000.000/semester.

__________________________________________

Waduh, kok mahal banget ya biayanya? ada gacaranya biar bisa bayar murah?

Hoho,, tentu ada sodara-sodara. Begini, ikutin tipsnya ya:

Ternyata kita bisa meminta diskon Biaya BPM yang 55juta itu, bahkan tersedia diskon 100% bagi lebih dari 600 orang. Begini caranya:

1. Download dan isi formulir permohonan diskon BPM di [link ini] atau di sini : http://www.itb.ac.id/usm-itb/form-bpm-2011-t.pdf

2. Pada bagian permohonan subsidi, jangan lupa centang/pilih yang 25%, 50%, 75%, atau yang 100%

3. kirim formulirnya. Boleh lewat fax, email, atau pos, ke alamat:

Loket Direktorat Pendidikan ITB
Gd. CCAR ITB lt. 1

Telp.: 022-2508519, 022-4254016
Faks.: 022-2508519
E-mail: usmitb@pusat.itb.ac.id

3. Siapkan bukti-bukti yang mendukung. Bukti-bukti ini diserahkan saat pendaftaran mahasiswa baru nanti (setelah pasti diterima). Misalnya:
- Slip gaji orang tua (kalau ada. kalau ga ada bikin sendiri aja, tulis aja gaji yang kecil. hehe,, tapi jangan boong yak )
- Surat keterangan RT/RW daerah asal. Jadi berupa keterangan kalau keluarga tidak mampu membayar banyak untuk masuk ITB.
- Surat keterangan kondisi keluarga. Misalnya jumlah keluarga dan kondisi pekerjaannya. Lebih direkomendasikan bagi anda yang punya banyak adik-adik yang masih sekolah, jadi terlihat kalau tanggungan beban orang tua itu besar sekali, hoho .

4. Spesial: Bagi calon mahasiswa yang sejak awal hanya berminat untuk memilih Program Studi Astronomi (FMIPA), Program Studi Meteorologi (FITB), dan/atau Program Studi Oseanografi (FITB) dapat mengajukan permohonan Beasiswa Minat berupa subsidi 100% BPM. Untuk itu pemohon harus menyerahkan Formulir Pilihan Program Studi ITB yang dapat diunduh dari situs http://www.itb.ac.id/usm-itb/form-prodi-2011.pdf paling lambat tanggal 24 Mei 2011, pukul 15.30 WIB. Formulir yang telah diisi lengkap dikirimkan melalui kantor pos, faksimili, e-mail, atau diserahkan sendiri ke alamat:

Faks.: 022-2508519
E-mail: usmitb@pusat.itb.ac.id

5. Kalau BPM sudah "beres", maka tinggal mencari beasiswa untuk membayar BPP. Di sini banyak tersedia beasiswa, misalnya beasiswa ITB untuk semua (BIUS http://www.itbuntuksemua.com ).

6. Jangan lupa berdoa kepada Allah SWT agar diberikan rejeki lebih biar bisa kuliah di ITB. Syukur-syukur kalo ga perlu minta diskon biar masuk kampus itu, apalagi kalau bisa memberikan sebagian rezeki kita buat meringankan beban yang lain. InsyaAllah pahala lho

Ancora Foundation Graduate Fellowship at the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford

One scholarship is offered annually for an MSc in Environmental Change and Management at Oxford University.

The one-year course, one of Oxford’s most competitive and popular graduate science programs, is by coursework with assessment by assignments and written examinations. It aims to produce students with a broad appreciation of all aspects of the management of people and institutions in relation to environmental change. Successful applicants develop an in-depth understanding of not only the causes and consequences of environmental change, but also an awareness of the legal, economic and ethical underpinnings of remedial action or management. The central theme of this course is the development of a truly inter-disciplinary approach to the management of the environment.

Over 400 students have successfully graduated from the course since its creation in 1994. Many graduates from different nationalities, age and backgrounds have gone on to successful careers related to the environment either in business, governments or NGO. In the 2006 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Nairobi, there were 12 school alumni in professional capacities. This demonstrates that the program really makes a difference to both the people who take the course and its impact to global environmental change. Well-known graduates include Pakistan’s former Minister of State for the Environment Amin Aslam.

Selection Criteria

Applicants should have (a) a confirmed acceptance at the Environmental Change Institute, Oxford University (b) an excellent academic record with a first degree equivalent to a good Second Class (Upper) Honors or a GPA of at least 3.5; (c) a very good command of the English language; (d) a commercial or industrial background and a deep interest in the environment (e) assessed to have outstanding potential for leadership in government, business, or civil society after graduation.

Application for 2011-12 is received on a batch by batch basis, and will be considered in two rounds. The deadlines are January 21, 2011 and March 11, 2011. Please apply directly to University of Oxford, our fellowship program is listed under Gita Wirjawan Graduate Fellowship. Further details of the program and the application process can be found in the following websites:

http://www.eci.ox.ac.uk/teaching/msc/admissions.php

and

Please fill out the application form and email it back to beasiswa@ancorafoundation.com before February 21, 2011. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

Terms and Conditions

Each fellowship is tenable for one-year only for full-time students on the Master of Science in Environmental Change and Management program. The successful candidate is expected to complete his/her studies within the tenable period.

Each scholarship will cover the following:

• Tuition and other compulsory fees (as specified by Oxford University);
• Monthly stipend; and
• Return air-ticket (economy class)

Ericsson scholarship supports international students
A new scholarship for international students has been established at Chalmers University of Technology. Ericsson AB will fully support the tuition fee for two international students at the master's programme Communication Engineering for the autumn 2011 intake.
“We are very happy that Ericsson wants to support the programme with scholarships. Our education in communication engineering is world class and the fact that Ericsson will provide its support confirms this”, says Gunilla Walther, Department of Signals and systems.

“We have a very good experience with graduates from this programme”, says Dag Jungenfelt, Head of Product Development Unit Microwave Networks at Ericsson. “To ensure that we can continue to meet the future needs in knowledge and skills, we are proud to be part of the establishment of this scholarship.”

From autumn 2011, students with citizenship in a country outside the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland will be required to pay tuition fees for Swedish Higher Education. At Chalmers the fees are set to SEK 140 000/year for most educations, and to 190 000/year for educations within the field of architecture.

The students that wish to study in Sweden can apply for several scholarships. At Chalmers, some of the scholarships are funded directly by Chalmers and others are provided by the Swedish Institute.

PhD stipend - Soil Bioremediation - 37279


The National Environmental Research Institute (NERI), Department of Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology, Aarhus University in Roskilde, hereby calls for applications for a fully financed PhD stipend in collaboration with Aarhus Graduate School of Agriculture, Food and Environment, SAFE. The position is expected to be filled by 1 January 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter, subject to negotiation.

Department of Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology (MIMI)
The Department of Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology currently comprises the director of the department, 1 professor, 8 scientific staff, 11 technicians, 3 administrative staff, as well as visiting scientists and several PhD and undergraduate students.

Description of the project
Pesticide contamination of soils and groundwater poses a serious threat to human and environmental health. Robust contaminant removal relies mainly on microorganisms which are able to degrade the pesticide either solely or synergistically in microbial consortia. The main objective of the present PhD project is to study microbial remediation of pesticide-contaminated soils using a bio-augmentation approach.

The PhD project aims at obtaining optimal pesticide degradation in situ by inoculating contaminated soil with effective degraders of specific pesticides. Such degraders are already isolated in collaborative projects and include both bacteria and fungi with degradation potentials to be studied individually as well as in synergistic consortia.

Various approaches for introducing the microorganisms in contaminated soils involve direct inoculation, proliferation via plant roots as well as using various forms of protective carrier materials. Initial pilot experiments are performed in the laboratory with soil cores subsequently leading to pilot-scale experiments in lysimeters and full-scale experiments in the field. This will involve soils from the national Danish pesticide warning program (VAP) and known contaminated sites with historic point-source contamination.

The research will focus on selected pesticides that are being encountered in groundwater samples of the pesticide warning program or pose a problem in European water resources. These include benzonitriles (dichlobenil/BAM, bromoxynil), triazines, phenoxyalcanoic acids and phenylurea herbicides. In addition, factors affecting mobility/bio-availability of glyphosate and AMPA will be elucidated.
Pesticide degradation patterns and kinetics will be measured using front-line chromatographic and immunological analytical approaches, so that removal of pristine pesticide compound and their degradation products can be identified and quantified. Analytical work is performed in close collaboration with partners in the overall project consortium in which the present PhD study is embedded and which provide additional information about biological factors (like protozoan grazing) affecting the fate of the introduced degraders. Optimally, the project will provide new knowledge that will facilitate a more effective removal of pesticide contaminants in soil and associated aquifers thus securing clean and safe drinking water in the future.

Qualifications and specific competences
Applicants to the PhD positions must have a relevant Master’s degree (or graduate in the very near future – documentation for final thesis and date of examination must be enclosed in the application) or equivalent in natural sciences, e.g. microbiology, soil chemistry, environmental chemistry or a related field. The ideal candidate has experience in both microbiology and chemical analysis.

Place of Employment and Place of Work
Employment and main place of work will be at NERI/AU (Roskilde/Sealand). The work will proceed in close collaboration with GEUS (Copenhagen/Sealand) and DJF/AU (Foulum/Jutland). The PhD student can expect extended stays at DJF/AU for doing parts of the research work.

Hours per week: 37 hours
