" Social Work " is the latest course in Town

FrancisTony: The third and the highest level of tertiary education in Nigeria is the University.

There are presently 124 universities with Federal and State government controlling 37 each while the Private sector controls 50. Applicants have over 570 courses to choose from each categorized into Faculties.

There are some courses that have enjoyed consistent preference; I have used both Applicants’ choices in both JAMB 2013 and 2014 to show some of these courses. These obviously would help those still in Secondary schools and future JAMB applicants know how competitive a course is before finally locking their choice down on it.

From my findings; Medicine & Surgery is the most sought-after course in the whole of Nigeria universities.

Also, out of the whole 124 universities; only 35 offer Medicine & Surgery, 16 Federal, 14 State and 4 Private universities respectively.

Other top 15 courses are
1) Accounting
2) Economics
3) Business administration
4) Mass Communication(CLA)
5) Computer Science
6) Law
7) Political Science
Microbiology
9) Biochemistry
10) Nursing/Nursing Science
11) Pharmacy
12) Mechanical Engineering
13) Civil Engineering
14) Public Administration
15) Elect/Elect Engineering
16) Petroleum Engineering

What a superb research you have done up there ! Thank you !

suraj/jarus would have done it otherwise by placing Economics first on that Chat !

FrancisTony:

Not all big federal schools study it. E.g UI

You mean 'offer' it. U.I does offer Petroleum Engr'g!

olutunde12:


You mean 'offer' it. U.I does offer Petroleum Engr'g!

Seriously! Didyu read our argument before you jumped into conclusion?

Do you mind re-checking the homepage of this thread?

We were arguing about Chemical Engineering not Petroleum. Smh!

If Corruption is allowed in university it will b d most sought after.

What of YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT IN LIFE from your grandmother is that not a course?

fashrola: bros there are schools in Nigeria that offers these courses, example Maritime academy of Nigeria (this is where I studied), UST, port Harcourt, school of oceanography, V.I Lagos

hahahaha most shipping companies in Nigeria don't even recognize oron certificates ust and school of oceanography are always on strike and the facilities there are poor

FrancisTony:

OP is talking about 'Most Sought after' not 'Bankable'(not sure if the course is even bankable )

Explain what you mean by "not bankable "

fashrola: bros there are schools in Nigeria that offers these courses, example Maritime academy of Nigeria (this is where I studied), UST, port Harcourt, school of oceanography, V.I Lagos

buh the guy said sought-after na

cdamsel: Explain what you mean by "not bankable "

Bankable- having a high chance of employment in its field.

Ooshey ..... pharmacy of life....

whatever course one studies, it should be with the sole aim of acquiring a relevant skill and not just a piece of paper (certificate) which, of late, has proven to be not very effective with regards to bringing food to the table.

This is the reason why engineering, for example, in Nigeria is a joke. The engineering undergrads should be given the same type of practical trainning the medical, para medical and the architecture students are given.

Each time i see chinese, lebanese and the arab technicians supervising our graduate engineers on projects I cannot help but wonder if the the degree has any value at all. The fact is that the guys graduated with the paper and unfortunately without the skill. On the other hand, a 3rd class graduate of architecture or nursing has both. He hits the ground running.

If our universities can produce adequately skilled medical doctors, physiotherapists, dentists, architects, lawyers then if engineering is given the same attention they can produce skilled engineers. This is very vital for our technological advancement which is a sine qua non of economic development.

Guys, go for the skill not the paper and you will not regret.

are u serious? An estate manager doesn't need employment, all s/he needs is a seal from its national body & s/he is good to know

You do know real estate is a lucrative business in Nigeria now?

My dear its highly bankable

CHEMISTRY/INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY is a "MUST FEAR OPTION"... I do think the chemist and industrial chemist deserves to be valued more than any other profession.

hurricaneChris: Only the strong hearted study architecture

10) Theatre Arts
9) Banking & Finance
Sociology
7) Chemical Engineering
6) Geology
5) Economics
4) Mechanical Engineering
3) Medicine & Surgery
2) Electrical & Electronic Engineering
1) Accounting

Thankyou, i was beginning to wonder where is Ban/Fin...but no be say we too like this courses o, but e dey sweet when person study something that if u even tell ur great-grand father in the village, he would understand the course you are talking about...lol e.g Medicine/surg (Doctor), Law(Lawyer) Engineering(engineer) etc.

OP I THINK ITS HIGH TIME YOU STAY OFF WET WEED CUZ ITS AFFECTING YOUR SENSE OF REASONING. WHERE THE PHUCK IS THE QUEEN OF ALL DISCIPLINE (PHILOSOPHY)

Study nursing(science) nd u re guaranteed a job. Nd d pay is huge. Biochemistry is under utilized in d present day Nigeria

Supermajor:
in Engineering its electrical/electronics engineering that is d most competative

AGRICULTURAL AND BIOSYSTEMS ENGINEERING is also trending now because of its diversion.

Proudly a Doctor!
