pls can a chemistry graduate do his or her post graduate studies in chemical engineering,and the schools who do it in nigeria.thanks

You can go for PG diploma in Chem Engineering and then Masters in same course.
But mind you you cant register with COREN or NSE. As such you cant be regarded as Engineer.
If you want to be a chemical Engineer you have to go for first degree. With your first degree you can apply for DE if you have a very good grade and also lucky you can get level 3 but normally it is level 2 as you are not having HND In Chem Engr

Boss, at OAU, you don't have to do PGD but you will offer some basic engineering courses and might spend more session and you will have the same opportunity as any MSC chem engine with bachelor in chem engr will have

It is not University that gives the licence or permission to be an Engineer. They only give you a B. Eng degree. But to be a certified Engineer with the title and everything thats the responsibility of COREN. And the basic requirement is bachelor's degree in Engineering.
Most HND Holders claim to be Engineers but actually they were certified as Technologist not Engineers

Unfortunately you have to go for Bachelor Degree in engineering if you really want to be an Engineer. DE means Direct Entry.
Having first degree the choice is between going back for another degree or proceeding with masters in Chemistry. Take note even if you have M. Eng and Ph.D In Engineering you cant be an engineer many students make that kind of mistake and realise this very late.

thats the PGD in engineering without giving you the PG Cert. It is just like the M.Phil ie going to Ph.D without collecting your Masters

tnx guys......learnt something ..GOD BLESS YOU ALL
