Thank you for saying the truth. When they are offering 8 courses in 100 level in conventional universities NOUN Students are offering 13 courses in 100 level. When they are sorting lecturers in conventional universities NOUN Students has no lecturers to sort, they will read their course materials and face computer to write their exam and the computer will show you your scores immediately you submit with no way to manipulate your scores.
Most of them talking down of NOUN can not defend their certificate the way NOUN students will defend theirs.
I did my master degree there

That's great

Let me drop this info, there are some of our client that made it strictly that they only want graduates from NOUN, Covenant, OAU, UNN and UI because of their performance. Honestly, I do under estimate them before until I started working as a recruiter.

Highways:



I have offers in Australia and Canada... I am just waiting to publish some articles so I can clinch a scholarship..... Underestimate NOUN at your own peril.... go back to the ranking and you will understand better

University ranking in Nigeria is only based on Cybermetrics (Search popularity).

The work and school policy has been a global standard used by most first world countries to balance education and work life so long value of quality education is not compromised. You smoothly transit from school to practical work place after graduation. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. It boosts employability. NOUN is championing that legacy and other schools need to follow suit. Life is not all about book book book, the stigma tag of half baked graduates is due to the fact that people there is no balance between work and school. After school seems like a whole new and unfamiliar environment for graduates. Your choice of NOUN is wise, work hard to earn your certificate with hustle by the side.

Hmm

I'm a fresher in NOUN BSC info tech, I have plans to study and prepare for japa in the next 5 years. I've done BSC in a conventional University. it's a nice choice.

2 things I'll advise when getting into NOUN
MONEY: for registrations and co
SERIOUSNESS: NOUN exams are not your typical kind. Bro if you no know am nothing way you fit do. Nothing like Manna ooo

MoneyMusthear:
Good day everyone.

This is a quick one; are there any disadvantages of getting a first degree from NOUN? Please, avoid speaking out of prejudice.

I have resolved to acquire some digital skills and intern afterwards in the said field, and this plan may not permit me to go to a conventional university. The only possible option is to run a degree in NOUN and work/intern concurrently.

What is your honest advice?
Mods, kindly move to frontpage. Thank you.

my advice is as u dey get noun degree, try get masters join in a more recognized university

Zico5:
To me Noun is still work in progress. Many companies still don't recognize the degree from this university. Even moribund private universities are still somehow ahead of it. Well, nobody knows tomorrow. You can give it a trial. But I will suggest u try public university if u are still below 20. That's my own advice.

Why don't they recognize it?

[quote author=Iliveforever post=109847549]Nigerian government is as useless as the mod that banned me thinking I’m jobless..

Nigerian government is stupid to the extent that they approved NOUN but refused to approve them for Nysc.
Isn’t that stupidity??

That is FIRST CLASS IN STUPIDITY

It is okay not to have schoolmates. go ahead

Odidigboigbo:
NOUN is far better than over hype UNILAG. Their students are smart, maybe because most of them are adults before furthering their education.

As a recruiter, I have met a lot of them from both schools, so I know what I'm talking.

I graduated from NOUN with a 2:1 in political science. Would love to meet you for a possible placement for a job.

Saao:
All degrees in noun are all accredited by nuc, almost every offices in Nigeria you must find noun students or graduands, so its a good place to acquire ur first degree from. I'm currently on my last semester in pg in same university. Kindly note, the school isn't easy as it seems

That school is not easy ooo my brother.

Akinzola:
Yeah, plus there would be enough time for legit hustle.

U gerrit

If the OP see this your English ehn... Na bye bye to NOUN

So what's your point? If you have a different ranking, can you post the link here

NOU is not a bad idea.
You have your reasons already, so it's just an extra to have you advised.

The only minus for NOUN besides the exemption from national service is just the youthful exuberance.
NOUN is designed for serious, working -class adults, who have a clear vision of why they must pursue a higher education - most conventional universities undergrads are bereft of this!
Thus, no partying, no hostel-ing, no gangsterism etc as obtained in the conventional universities.

But for NOUN to have been NUC approved and recognized internationally, it meant her curriculum is rich!

Your problem is ignorance. There are lot of NOUN students who are sound,academically. I did my 1st degree in a Fed Uni and came on top of my class. However, I discovered that NOUN isn't meant for "dullards" during my coursework(MSc). Let me further shock you, my MSc project( Neural Network Modelling of Type II Diabetes gave me a partial PhD offer abroad but I couldn't supply the other 50%( that's a different story). Oga before you talk, make sure you know.

OgunkeelAllMod:
Glorified secondary school. It's a uni for mostly low IQ dullards, other higher standards uni rejects

Try part time program of conventional schools .. it’s recognized

Sike:

Ignore him! He did that deliberately to malign the university and discourage the OP.

It's those who go to NOUN but are less than 30 who actually don't have sense...

NOUN was instituted for civil servants and adults who already have jobs that will not allow them attend conventional universities...


So not even in a thousand years will NOUN graduates be allowed to go for NYSC... because the act which created NOUN did not empower it to even accept students who are less than 30years old...much less prepare them for NYSC

osazsky:
oga ignore that guy we know them and are used to them

Lol. You're right bro. I been dey wait to see wetin he go talk

MikeMicheal:

This alone, is enough to discourage any serious minded person, if truly, you are an alumni of that institution

osteenbush:
You're really funny

Hahahaha! It seems you have figured out that my comment was just scornful jocularity; probably due to past comments or the grammatical errors naturally appeared to be weird and deliberate.

You won't survive 2 semesters in Noun with the way you think.
I was like you before I said let get a degree in NOUN.
Distance learning is the future of education.
