A Thread For All Prospective\New Postgraduate. Students Of NOUN by Nobody: 10:15pm On Jan 12, 2015
A couple of threads which serve to enlighten the public about the National Open University of Nigeria was created in the recent past. These threads went a long way to achieve the end goal. In the course of this, a lot of people, most of whom were prospective undergraduate students of the university, had the opportunity to ask their questions and got their answers.

However, considering the fact that the threads were undergraduate oriented, the few prospective or new Msc students could not get adequate answers to their questions. This, coupled with the need for the MSc students to know and probably get acquainted with one another, has led to the creation of this thread.

This thread, therefore, serves as a platform where new/prospect MSc students of the school could come and help one another in any way possible, and also serves as an avenue for those within the same area or field of study to get acquainted with one another.

Please, drop your questions, answers, suggestions, advices, or what have you!

Mods can help too.

Very simple but first thing first.

Simply walk into the nearest Zenith Bank and tell them you want to pay for NOUN MSc form (N7500). A paper will be given to you which contains your PIN for online application and the steps for this. Log onto their site and access your application form using the PIN given. Fill the form either immediately or come back later to complete it if you don't have the necessary information needed ready. After eventually filling the form completely, print a copy out and then click on "submit" and print out your provisional admission letter. On this later, you'd see the necessary documents for screening. Go along with this form, the application form and the required documents to your study centre of choice for screening. After a successful screening, proceed to register and collect your course materials. That's all.

Please, be sure you're qualified before applying for a particular course to avoid waste of money cause the provisional letter won't be available for unqualified people.

The form is on sale. Some successful students have even started. Note that though the application form is always on sale, admission exercise is done twice a year and is currently being done.

To know the MSc courses available, see their PG School link here:

Though application is year round, it's better you register now cause regardless of when you register, you'd still write the exam along with others. noun.edu.ng

The semesters are just like we have it in conventional universities.

As for the amount, it depends on a variety of factors. There's a minimum payment of 41k per semester along with course registration fees (which depends on the course's credit load) and exam fees. So it depends on your department, number of courses and their credit loads.

In some courses, we have two types of masters. One is called academic masters while the other is called professional masters.

Academic masters presents you with advanced topics in your field and the choice of narrowing it down to some specific areas thus giving you the opportunity to understand and contribute your own quota in those areas, promote the field more and make use of what you've learned at your place of work.

Professional masters is more job oriented. It perches on the day to day practices of the field in question with respect to actual work environment. It's more accommodating to people from other departments since it's more like a training for the job than an academic research in the field in question. It's usually more expensive though.

The one you choose is amatter of choice.

Here are some examples:

MSc Comp Sci (Academic)/ MIT (professional)
MA Bus Admin (Academic)/MBA (professional)
Etc.

Hope this helped.

You see, you can apply online and get your provisional admission letter but at the point of clearance, you'd have to present your original copies.

The school do not have lectures in the real sense of it. They only have non compulsory facilitation classes and study groups. However, your course materials are all online, assignments are online too and can be accessed from anywhere.

Only first and second year students do online exams. The rest do pen-on-paper exams for now.

Minimum of 2,2.

Yeah, it recognised. I, for one, work in a corporate organisation. In my firm, presenting your MSc cert from any school simply gives you the chance to be measured alongside other people with MSc but your recognition depends on how you prove yourself afterwards.

For you to pass in NOUN, you must read cause the school has no means of exam malpractice or paper sorting. I believe if you eventually do well, you'd be able to represent well out there.

Having said that, I'd also like to pre-inform you that you'd meet a lot of people who would tell you the cert is not recognised. This category of people are skeptical cause it's not what we are used to and we're always allergic to change. Check out, such people are not in managerial positions. The school is trying to run things the western way and has become the choice for busy workers. It is presently the 15th best in Nigeria which rates it better than some conventional universities like UNICAL, FUTO etc.

It's all about determination and focus.

Good day, dear.

You might have made an error by inputting the wrong name but the actual mistake is relying on a guy that runs a business centre to rectify it for you. Those boys you see around most study centres are only there to do their businesses. They can help with photocopying, typing and other things done in a business centre but surely not in rectifying such issues.

What you will do, which is what you should have done, is to contact a staff in your school of choice. Though I already know what his response will likely be, it'll be much better hearing from the horse's mouth. And do this before proceeding with the registration to avoid waste.

The compulsory pay is 41k (please, verify at your study centre). The actual amount paid is dependent on how many courses you are taking and their credit loads. Your calculation above uses the right formula. Once you're sure of your figures, no extra charges are incurred.

Good luck, dear.

All students have a basic compulsory pay of 41k however, the overall fee paid at the end includes the registration and examination fee per course. So your net pay depends on the number of courses you're taking and their credit loads. Read the posts above to see how it is calculated. I also suggest you visit the nearest study centre for further clarification.
