Doing Postgraduate at A Nigerian Private University by Welrez(m): 11:39am On Aug 16, 2018 |
I have scholarship to do postgraduate in a private university of my choice, but I am a bit wary due to tales of discrimination flying all over the place. I would much appreciate if someone enlightens me about how it feels like doing a postgraduate programme in a private university as well as recommend schools with academic pedigree at the postgraduate level. Thanks. |

HigherEd:Thanks, I appreciate. What about American University of Nigeria, Madonna and Igbinedion? Are they also good for postgraduate? I am considering a school that is close to my place of work. |

Where's your place of work located? Madonna and Igbinedion are a "No No" for me. One, they aren't reputable, two, they are yet to toughen up their undergraduate offerings not to talk of postgraduate. Lastly, i doubt they even get up to 20 postgraduate students to enroll per year. AUN is fantastic if you can live in Yola - they've got amazing facilities and faculty..... |

HigherEd:Akwa Ibom. I have heard that AUN has fantastic facilities, but it is highly unlikely I will go up north because distance will constitute a problem to me. |

If OP values his time and wants to avoid the usual "suffer head" associated with Nigerian school lecturers he should go for a school like @HigherEd has suggested. It makes sense for you to gather extra half a million naira and save yourself some 12 or 18 months of unnecessary time wasting. 1 Like |

CodeTemplar:I have always seen private universities postgraduate programmes as suspect until I saw that they have a lot of NUC-accredited programmes, which even public schools struggle to get accreditation. |

Welrez:Good to know you opened your eyes. Most schools are overrated and basking in some imaginary past glory. Open your eyes pal. |
