Guys i rounded up my NYSC yesterday and i picked up a masters degree form from a Abia State University in Finance Though i passed through that school with a 2.1 in finance can any one in the house tell me how Msc programme look like is it stressfull like Bsc or can someone get it with an ease and forge ahead with life.pls any body who has completed his programme should educate me more on this.

Msc is definitely less stressful to Bsc.u have to note that Msc is strictly research-inclined,defined mostly by ur ability to comprehend the course work on ur own with little classroom aid,it is relatively more interactive.one advantage is that it allows u the time to do other things,hey!with Msc u are more relevant in the macro-market.keep up.

how come Nigerian universities don't post their course content online?

some Msc courses are available as taught programmes depending on where you do your course

Not all MSc courses please. Msc Statistics is more stressful than Bsc Statistics.

I did a 2 year MSc in the Netherlands, actually thats normal MSc duration, and it was really challenging, I had to step up, since my naija background had holes, If you had a 2-1, why not try applying for scholarships and see if you can school outside, except if of course you go to Lagos Business school, am not so sure abt the quality of our MSc courses,

I saw ur write up.but the point is that can you link me up with any how i can apply for scholarship in any of these foreign schools because am about starting the programme but if any thing good comes out i can abandone it.thanks.

To dis guy
Am aware of the fact that that we have taught-based and research-based Msc, but u will agree with me that the taught-based is more research-inclined than Bsc.

To Ishmael
Don’t get me wrong, if u truly understood the courses taught during your undergraduate days, then u would not have much problem tackling the Msc, that applies to every other course. Presently it has become obvious that students spend their quality time chasing grades rather than knowledge. Besides what could be so difficult in statistics. most areas of specialization in Msc statistics revolves around the concept of TIME SERIES ANALYSIS, INFERENCE(LABORATORY),ESTIMATION TECHNIQUES, DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT AND SAMPLING THEORY AND THE USE OF STATISTICAL PACKAGES LIKE STATA,EVIEWS,MINITAB,SPSS,SAS etc TO ANALYSE THESE THINGS.hey I know what am saying, try me.

Ma guy 377,u can settle for a better postgraduate school preferably in a federal university or Lagos business school(LBS) instead of ABSU, for scholarship(s) watch out for the PTDF SCHOLARSHIP COMING UP NEXT MONTH,APPLY FOR THE DFID SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH THE BRITISH COUNCIL OR EXPLORE THE BANKPHB EDUCATION LOAN and please there are a lot of fake scholarship bodies home and abroad, and also a lot unaccreditated universities abroad, tread carefully. Thank you

yes, Msc is suppose to be easier than Bsc, but it has never been in nigeria with the kind of wicked people we have as lecturers. They are not always happy seeing people bagging Msc Degrees and catching up with them.
