From my experience studying for a BA, BSc and MSc in prestigious universities in the UK, I would say you can do the Doctorate program. Most oyibo have no interest in education anymore yet they enrol for Doctorate programs and come out as a Nobel prize winner then compare yourself who has interest. Best of luck. 1 Like |

gimbayaro: Pure ignoramus statement! Couple of years back, Some Nigerian universities, do used to offer First Class graduands opportunity to jump M.sc and move straight to Ph.D In fact, that Unilag guy with a perfect GPA is too good to waste time doing masters. If a student is talented enough, schools motivate them to excel by offering such opportunity so that they can become lecturers also. |

@OP, you should do your research but I think that a North American PhD programme has an intrinsic MSC i.e. you will attend classes and write exams before your actually qualify to do the PhD. A PhD is not necessarily harder than an MSC, if that's what you are worried about. However, it does require a certain high level of discipline, knowledge and skill that you may or may not already have from your current degrees. My advice if for you to grab this opportunity with both hands. Profs don't make these kinds of offers to just anyone. If a random stranger believes you can do it, then you should also believe in yourself. |

Team16: Guy, I see no reason for you to spill this on Nairaland.. You know you would be going for the PhD urself, which is the best in this case... I just want you to know that you should be ready to work for/with the supervisor as a research assistant or lecturer as the case is as well, earn some money and use him to get scholarships too... I envy you o... You fit tell me the name of the school biko? |

Re: I Applied For MSc But Foreign Supervisor Said School Is Accepting Me For PhD by mikeapollo: 9:17am On May 05, 2016 |
Team16: My guy, don't be scared. Go for the PhD. But discuss with your supervisor and he can allow you to have an extended PhD program that incorporates some taught elements (M.Sc.) He will be willing to cooperate since he is the one that suggested the PhD program to you. PhD is the ultimate. Don't miss a PhD in Canadian university for anything. They are not Nigerian schools that will frustrate you out of the program. Go for it. 1 Like |

AgroPro: What would be the point of this? The candidate holds a BSc, PGd and will be on track to acquire a PhD. What would be the point of running a part-time MSc on top of it? OP, please go for the PhD without hesitation. A reason why your supervisor suggested so is because he believes you can achieve it based on your academic record. Turning down the offer would be letting him down, and indirectly saying you don't believe in yourself enough. It's a challenge and opportunity for you to step up and I think you should grab it boldly and prove your mettle. |

In Nigeria, we are stereotyped to always blindly follow a cast-ironed educational system with little room for change. If an emeritus professor deemed it fit for you to undergo a Ph.d programme, it is not an issue but an opportunity. It will only become an issue when funding for such programme is a setback. |

Simple. Reply him stating you would love to take up the offer, but that you are worried about the funding(usually they will give you scholarship and also pay you some money as you might be lecturing too)... If they do, accept sharp sharp before they change their minds 1 Like |

There is nothing to be scared about, if you are being offered a PHD course, it only means your study wont end at the MSc stage but continue until you finish your PHD, you will still do the MSc modules before you start the PHD proper. It is at the MSc stage your research methodology knowledge will be enhanced in preparation for the Phd |

Team16: I had similar issues, I graduated with a 3rd class but with plenty of industrial experience. I applied for direct Msc, I met a lecturer in uniben to help me out, after going through my CV, he said, if his being given a chance, he would pick me for Mphil. 1 Like |

Team16: Please accept the PhD offer...You are brilliant and very lucky, in the sense that your bachelors is not engineering and the PgD is to make you eligible for MSc. Some folks with MSc Chemical Engineering even had to do M.Phil first before Ph.D 1 Like |

double0seven: You obviously don't get it. Some jobs would require you to have all 3 qualifications. Bachelor, Masters and PhD. It's great he is jumping straight to PhD but he would be stuck when applying for such jobs that require all 3 qualifications. Got it? And duh to ur question if I'm in Canada. Where else would I be?
