Not for the faint-hearted, but definitely for the determined.
Who is eligible?
Right, the part where many sigh and scroll past. But don’t. Read this slowly.
For PGD:You must have at least a Third Class degree from a recognised school
Or, an HND with lower credit
WAEC or NECO? Yes. Credit in English and Maths plus three other subjects
For Master’s:You need a Second Class Lower or better
OR a PGD in a related field
And the usual credits in your O’level, same as above
For PhD:Must already hold a Master’s degree
Some programmes ask for PGD too, plus work experience
Sciences require full science background from day one (you can’t enter through the back door here)
General Rules:NYSC certificate is a must (discharge, exemption, or exclusion – pick your version)
Transcripts should be sent within your first year. Miss it, and well… your admission may disappear.
You might be screened, especially for Master’s and PhD. So don’t say no one warned you.
