Nigerian Post Graduate Schools That Award Teaching Assistantship by fratermathy(m): 11:37am On Jun 30, 2015 |
The pursuit for a postgraduate degree is not new to Nigerians. In fact one in every ten Nigerian graduate will eventually pursue a PG degree after NYSC. This is partly due to the lack of jobs which makes graduates to pursue higher degrees as a means of boosting their results. Others may pursue PG degrees because they want to go into the academic profession or become executive professionals in their schools. Most Nigerians who can afford PG schools usually face difficulties coping with campus life again and suviving, especially when they are jobless. However, few people are aware that some Nigerian Universities have taken the path of foreign schools in the award of Teaching Assistantships/Fellowships/Graduate Intern/Trainees/Practicum. Whatever term it is given, the main idea is that PG students can work for the school as lecturers and earn money to fund their programmes. This is very good for PG students, especially PhD students. They can be exposed to practical teaching and lecturing under a supervisor and also earn cool cash. However, for now, only a few schools offer this. With time, it is hoped that other schools may be magnanimous enough to start this programme. I have taken the initiative to list the schools that offer teaching assistantships so that those who are interested may select these schools for their PG studies. It is important to note that these teaching awards are VERY COMPETITIVE and requires a track of academic success, will and determination to be awarded. It also requires "romancing" with certain Professors in the Department and PG School as well as the request of the need for such assistance by the Department's HOD.. It is mostly awarded to PhD students because they have a longer time and are more knowledgeable. There is a high chance that awardees may be retained if they do extremely well. It also counts as a tangible job experience. Here are the schools that award teaching assistantship that I am aware of: 1. University of Ibadan 2. University of Lagos 3. University of Nigeria, Nsukka 4. Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria 5. Covenant University, Ota These are the ones my research has been able to confirm so far. However, this list cannot be said to be all the schools that offer teaching assistantships in Nigeria. So if you are aware and sure of others, you may post it so that people can learn. If you are or have been an awardee, you may intimate us more on the technicalities of this programme. Here are some schools currently offering PG Admissions: https://www.nairaland.com/2272847/current-post-graduate-admissions-nigeria-2015 3 Likes 2 Shares |

plowret:Some schools just dont like offering it maybe because they are well staffed and need no assistance or it may be an issue of policy and quality assurance. |

Godskidmidas:Graduate Assistantship is similar but different to Teaching Assistantship. While one is offered upon graduation, the other is offered upon Masters/PhD admission. 2 Likes |
