12 Universities To Choose If From You Want To Study Computer Science by Timekeeper: 7:08pm On Jan 01, 2018 |
A senior lecturer at the University of Ibadan identifies 12 universities that bets offer Computer Science. Computer Science students (Jigpoly) If Computer Science is the course you choose to study in the university, then you've got to choose the university that best offers the program. Recently, Pulse informed admission seekers about institutions that best offer Law and Medicine in the country and many UTME candidates are taking advantage of the guide Pulse Student dishes out on the universities that best offer certain courses. Unlike Law and Medicine, there is no professional body that rates the study of Computer Science in Nigerian Universities, but lecturers with years of experience in both field and lecture rooms can authoritatively recommend the best school to study this course for admission seekers. Dr Roberts Charles, who is a Senior Lecturer of Computer Science at the University of Ibadan is one of such authorities. The lecturer who has been teaching the course for 17 years at the premier University identified 12 universities that have proved to be very good at teaching the course. In a chat with Pulse Students, Dr Roberts said he drew his conclusions based on his interactions with the graduates of the schools who came for master's program at the University of Ibadan. Here are the Universities he recommends for admission seekers who want to study computer Science. University of Ibadan Federal University of Technology, Akure Federal University of Technology, Minna Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife University of Calabar (UNICAL) University of Benin, (UNIBEN) Covenant University, Ota Lagos State University, Ojo (LASU) Kwara State University, (KWASU) Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomosho Ekiti State University (EKSU) University of Lagos, Akoka Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The lecturer however blamed incompetent lecturers in the universities for the half baked computer science graduates in the country. "Most Computer Science students in Nigerian Universities today are not practical oriented and it is because they don't have lecturers that are very competent and that is a problem. When the lecturer is not competent, the students too wont be confident in themselves.'' 11 Likes 1 Share |

Did I just see Federal University of Technology Minna there ![]() Don't mislead people bro, computer science over there is basically Applied Mathematics with small computer packaging. If you're planning on going there, ask yourself can you cope in Maths department.. if you can, good, then go ahead. If you can't, please just find another course. 34 Likes 1 Share |

On Elsevier, Covenant and FUTMINNA have the highest number of internationally acceptable research pub respectively for Computer Science. So if I'm to choose I would choose either of the two. OAU(surprisingly) and futa are well represented on elsevier too. Elsevier also shows that UNN is a good place to do Comp Science-one of the top ten-it also has the fourth most globally used or relevant reselevant research work(citations).

![]() ∆ Whosoever that added OAU to that list no get joy. Nothing is special in studying Computer Science or Engineering in the university if you can't spend money to learn packages that will build you up as a scientist or an Engineer. Most Universities teach theories and most practical classes are absolutely irrevelant. Imagine University taking FOTRAN as of now. Computer science is an Endangered specie course like my HOD would say. A person that studied Psychology or History self with certifications(Web designs, networking, programming/software development) is better than you a computer science graduate with ordinary B.Sc or HND certificate. What can you offer! Who theory EPP? ∆ 33 Likes |

Education is an overrated sector in Nigeria
When no work
I advised my friend to drop out and look for something else to do
And he is doing that this year |

akashi01: You must be referring to 8-10yrs ago when it was a double honour course in FUTMx (i.e Maths-Computer) Around 2011 a big faculty was built and believe you me FUTMx has one of the best computer science dept. in the country. The lecturer's information is far more updated than yours 17 Likes |

akashi01: To be a good Computer Scientist, the knowledge of Mathematics is very important because without that you can't be a good programmer. Without Mathematics, you will be at sea with some programming languages like FORTRAN,ADA and even the common ones like Java, C, C+ etc still requires basic mathematics. 18 Likes |

Computer Science is not properly taught in Nigeria. It took me a long time after bagging my first degree in CS to decide whether to further my studies in that line. Most lecturers of CS in Nigeria don't know their bearing in the field hence, they can't prepare students well in the field. Some can't even write a program to write their names in any programming language even at gunpoint ![]() Apart from the lecturers, the students are also to be blamed. No school or lecturer can give you all you need. In-fact to be a thoroughbred professional, you have to develop yourself beyond any classroom. Even in civilized nations like Canada, US etc, the students with best programming and related skills don't rely solely on their professors. I also believe that the CS curriculum in Nigeria needs to be overhauled, the curriculum in Nigeria is quite archaic. Although even the archaic content is not properly taught and understood in Nigeria. I have seen many CS graduates complain that they were only taught FORTRAN, PASCAL etc but the fact is that they don't even understand the FORTRAN or PASCAL properly. If they know those so-called archaic languages well, they will find it easy to switch to other languages like Python, C++, Java because programming is a way of thinking and not really about the language you use. In all, I am yet to see any university in Nigeria whose CS program impresses me although I have seen some very smart CS graduates of Nigerian universities; these graduates worked on themselves. 14 Likes |

Opexzy:Pls what is beyond programming in computer science . is the hardware that you will stl have to write an algorithm. Bro the bedrock of computer science is programming. Once you are good @ it you will just jump away from school. Go ask Bill gates,Mark zukerberg,speilgal,Steve jobs etc. Bros coding na the koko. Now everyone is talking Machine learning & Data science, where are we in this field? Bros leave Mata programming is computer science. |
