You guys should please not disturb yourself with Unisa, if its a Btech you are intending to do with them, your HND is the same with their Btech. In SA, Btech and Bsc are not rated the same, you cannot be accepted unto a Masters programme in SA with a Btech degree. Don't blindly go and sit on a keg of gunpowder o, because the day relevant authorities will find out, the effect may affect you seriously. I think it used to be called HND before they changed the name in 1991. You may research on this. Thank you 2 Likes |

Check dis - www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?Cmd=ViewContent&ContentID=26793&P_XSLFile=unisa/mobi3.xsl Did u notice it says MTech and not Msc? The two are different and not of the same rating. MTech is more a technological qualification. I think its only SA that has MTech on offer. You can check the structure of education in SA to verify my claims. Even UNISA wont accept you unto an Msc with a BTech certificate, you can check any of their Msc programme for the requirement. I have researched a lot to be able to get a programme for anyone trying to convert his HND to Bsc in Engineering within a year and which will be affordable, accredited and accepted anywhere. The closest you can have are the ones offered by university of portsmouth which is 3500pounds. There are lots of schools that have top up for for those who want to do business or IT courses but Engineering proper, you don't have much. I've been thinking of India not too long ago, i do believe their education is good and will surely be very affordable but you have to find out if they can allow you start the final year of your programme, of course you may have to travel down there for the programme. 1 Like 1 Share |

Having HND in computer science is not a problem in my own view, i grow up with a great passion for knowledge and western education which saw me gain admission in various institution including Federal University of Technology in Akure, University of Edo-Ekiti, University of Ilorin, Yaba College of Technology and the University of Lagos. I decided to study at YABATECH not for my love for HND but for the strategic position of the institution to aid my professional career. So it is not about grades or degree but about your career.I know what I want and I will use any legal and lawful means to achieve this. After my first year at YABATECH I gained admission to study at the UniLag. I studied to Yaba College of Technology and University of Lagos simultaneously with an HND in Computer Science and Degree in Finance respectively and member of various international professional qualifications; ACCA(UK), CIMA(UK), CGA(Canada), CPA(Australia), CGMA(USA) for I know what I want and identified the importance of these academic and professional qualifications in my professional career. 1 Like |

jossy26: Based on SA's educational structure, BTech is equivalent of our HND. It is not equal with the BTech offered by Universities of Technology here in Nigeria(BTech in Nigeria is equivalent of Bsc). Recently tho, a friend told me he has someone who got a good position with it at Guiness(if i remember well) and that someone also got a Masters Admission into Unilag with it. My own take however is that, if a knowledgeable HR personnel should be the one handling your application, they just might not accept it as a Bachelor's degree. I hope this helps 1 Like 1 Share |

JesusDWay:Thank you for the advice. But don't you think that as the name changed(HND to B.Tech) the curriculum also changed? And why I don't think the B.Tech is equivalent to our HND is that, their B.Tech qualifies you for M.Tech, whereas our HND doesn't qualify you for M.Tech in Nigeria, rather, PGD. #myopinion |

JesusDWay: I am sure surprised that things other counties respect and hold on high esteem is what Nigeria put down and discriminate against. In other countries of the world Btech is run for 4 years while Bsc is run for 3 years. Why? because the place more premium on Btech which has more content and require more brain power. But here in Nigeria we easily discriminate against it just beause we are yet to understand the importance of Skill or technical ability in our work force. YIf you go through this link you will understand what i am saying. Bsc is not in anyway superior to Btech. https://www.quora.com/Which-is-better-BSC-in-computer-science-or-a-BTECH |

Now that people are burning there B.sc certificate? Certificates are no longer relevant o in this 9ja. If you like have 5 degrees, they are all papers in this part of the world. Use your head and find something better to do with your life rather than wasting your productive time on worthless paper degrees. |

Those asserting that B.Tech is equal to HND, they have limited knowledge with regards to both programmes. UNISA offers CERTIFICATES, ND, HND, and degree programmes. If u applied with ND you spend 2 academic calendar years. If you use HND, you spend only one academic calendar year. For your information, all the universities of technology in Nigeria award B.Tech for technological and engineering courses which is equivalent to BSc, B.Eng, B.Agric, LLB, and all other names given to first degree. So B.Tech award in any University around the globe is a first degree programme, not a diploma. |
Re: Best Way To Upgrade Hnd Certificate by Opitoke(m): 2:09pm On Oct 01, 2020 |
JesusDWay: DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY ALSO OFFER HND PROGRAMMES IN THAT SAME SCHOOL WHERE THEY OFFER B.tech? Young man, so how can both programmes be the same? Those who complete their higher diploma in that institution also apply for their degree programmes, be it B.Tech or Bsc |
Re: Best Way To Upgrade Hnd Certificate by Opitoke(m): 2:51pm On Oct 01, 2020 |
Take a look at this, before ignorant people deceive you with their crooked Native Nigerian mindset of descrimination: WHAT IS B.Tech? What is B.Tech Course? B.Tech stands for Bachelor of Technology. It is an undergraduate level programme that is pursued by science stream students after the completion of Class 12 Science. The four year programme is offered by engineering colleges across India including top colleges such as IITs and NITs. Many technology schools also use the term B.E or Bachelor of Engineering for the professional engineering undergraduate programmes. However, as far as India is concerned, only the nomenclature of the programme is different while the syllabus and teaching pedagogy is the same for both the programmes. |
Re: Best Way To Upgrade Hnd Certificate by Opitoke(m): 3:17pm On Oct 01, 2020 |
For clearer understanding, the B.Tech is a PRACTICAL professional degree programme which is CAREER oriented. The BSc is ACADEMIC oriented. Both degrees have their growth path. Eg B.Tech, M.Tech, D.Tech. in the case of BSc, the growth so goes: B.Sc, M.Sc, D.Sc. If anyone want to cross-over weather BSc or Btech, one must cross with a relevant PGD. B.Tech IN SA The degree is obtained after 4 years of study and is usually offered as a 1-year program, following completion of a relevant three-year National Diploma. The B.Tech. carries the same points as other bachelor's degrees in terms of South Africa's National Qualifications Framework (both having an NQF level of 7) At the same time, however, due to its orientation, it does not usually grant admission to the corresponding M.Sc. or MComm program,[4] and students instead pursue the Master of Technology (M.Tech.) and Doctor of Technology (D.Tech.) degrees; it does grant admission to MBA programs (see List of business schools in South Africa). In some cases, however, admission may be granted, once demonstrated that the student meets the necessary academic level to complete the requirements of the M.Sc or MComm. WITH THIS INFORMATION, HND HOLDERS, PLS MAKE YOUR CHOICE, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE. |
