The Problem With 3rd Class Degree! by morewat(op): 11:42am On Feb 22, 2013
I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University with 3rd class in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Not that I was not a brilliant person, I left school without obtaining leave of absence for two semesters due to one reason or the other and my CGPA was divided twice with 16 units! Since then I have been struggling to go back to school. I acquired some professional qualification like (CCNA,CCNP). I did my postgraduate diploma (statistics) at University of Ibadan. Unfortunately, it was when I completed the PGD that I got to know that there is a policy against 3rd class for academic masters (UI) despite the fact that I passed very well (67%). I am currently working as a Project Manager in a language technology company at ibadan.
My ambition is to study to PHD level. Please, I need advice on what to do. Actually, I want my phd to be in computational linguistics and I know that statistics is one of the basis with my engineering background. Please help!
