Adaobi12: For us in NGO, Social Work/Sociology is hot cake that was why I tip in that Volunteer work for him to start from. I know what am saying. The main problem is that there is no much good courses in Art. That Agric you suggested would need Physics/Chemistry. |

DrFunmi: On the worth of certificate, PGD is required for further studies only in Nigeria. The admission of HND holders into Postgraduate Diploma programme while at the same time maintaining that HND is not equivalent to a bachelor's degree further exposes the hypocrisy of our educational policy. As for the USA, your assertion exposes you as ignorant of the realities like someone earlier opined. All academic qualifications obtained outside the US must pass through an evaluation process by a recognized credentials evaluation agency before they become tenable for postgraduate studies in the United States. One of such credentials evaluation agency is World Educational Services (www.wes.org). All those who I know have had their HND evaluated by WES were found eligible for direct admission to master's degree programs because their HND was found equivalent to bachelor's degree. The mistake most prospective students make when sending their HND for evaluation is sending the HND transcript alone. The HND qualification is based on the ND (a prerequisite) so both the ND and HND are evaluated together to determine the academic worth of the HND holder. It is the ND alone that is equivalent to Associate Degree in the US or BTEC-HND in the UK. So for those who are well-informed, they know the discrimination is only entrenched here. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Any one you get use it to be successful, some HNd holders are making much more money that some Msc holders, that dosen't change anything its what you think and believe, If you feel you must get PhD before you become successful na u sabi, Just know this, it's what you believe in the Universe will give back to u, Its in your mindset" 1 Like 1 Share |

Deapexboy: yeah, you may be the brain behind your organization, your HND is still a barrier. like someone earlier said, " a bsc on level 8 is a boss to an HND in level 14". so embarrassing. the polytechnic system is not encouraged in Nigeria, hence it should be completely eradicated. 1 Like |

It baffles me a lot whenever I see posts like this, this dichotomy shouldn't engulf a well meaning nigerian student because it is crystal clear that even both HND n BSC are now half baked,and for you to be able to boast of your worth outside you must have drilled your self personally. To the OP I think you'll be helping us by creating posts that will encourage better reading culture,research,and government intervention in our educational system. To the HND undergraduates like me, you'll only be intimidated when you not sure of your abilities. Am very proud to say I had resolve to attend a polytechnic since I was in Jss2,when I was having a discussion with a BSC holder then. I sat for PCE instead of UME,so tell me how will a bsc holder tell me my certificate is worthless? So,am imploring us to build our self esteem. One of my lecturer once said " if you did not get what you like, then like what you get" to those that have tried the uni's before settling to for the poly. So MR OP- both the HND and BSC needs urgent attention,and stop all this discrimination. Thanks 1 Like |

tosyne2much:uv said it all. @OP, a certificate can jumpstart your life and the pursuit of goodliving, but thats all, the rest is up to you. someone rightly said " tertiary institutions are holding tanks for those who are yet to decide what to do with their lifes". |

unarguably the BSC is superior to not just the HND but the BTECH&BENG degrees in most of the world however in countries like france and italy, its the other way round.the ecole superiors or grand ecoles(polytechnics) are rated higher than the universities.i know cause am currently enrolling for an MSC at ISEP. |

Re: OPINION: 8 Reasons Why Bsc Is Superior To HND by zebra(m): 9:56pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
Mixty:it should be about what u can do and not the paper qualification. The polytechnics train people to use their brains and hands to work. Why is it that uni graduates are always scared of their polytechnic counterparts in the same field if i may ask? I've witnessed this on several occasions. Why is it that poly graduates do better in certification exams if they were not well taught or trained? I think the uni education in Nigeria is just been over hyped by people who only have uni experience and have had nothing to do in the polytechnic before. Mind u I have passed thru both.

Hey guys, truth is always bitter, there are million & one reasons why university students are better compare to thier poly counterpat, he has said it all, am heading for poly now because universities keep on frustrating me with thier admission policies which is stiffer compare to poly, a friend of my brother dropped his HND result & secure admission into 100 level in the university to spend another four years after four years in poly owing to discrimination. HND can never be compare to Bsc. |
