I have a challenge presently, I graduated with a Second Class Lower.I would in all sincerity want to do Masters abroad but the challenge I presently have is that many of these schools are no taking students with my grade most especially when you are looking at getting financial aids.
I also have been hearing and reading up assistantships, I would want to be sure if I can get one considering the fact that I graduated with this class of degree (3.21).
Please assist me with information as much as you can.
Thank you NairaLanders


Guy, I graduated with the same result 3.21 like you... I wanted to advance further in Coventry University and I got the admission, it was the fall of naira that affected my plans and couldn't make it. so with your 2.2, there are many schools in UK that will accept u. You can also try South African schools, its cheaper and with a million naira you can go for your masters in South Africa..

The funny aspect is that they say USA n Canada accepts only 2.1, guy its a lie. there are so many schools especially in Canada dat accepts second class lower. take your time and browse well. As for USA, I don't know much about them, but something I know is that there are many underground scholarship that people don't know. my neighbor even got an offer to study and she was telling me that she didn't pay a dime... but everything has been paid for her. the school forwarded everything to d embassy here in vi, but up till today we don't know why d embassy refused her visa. they said de dont believe she will return to nigeria after her graduation. her friend in USA is also doing criminology and d friend said she didn't pay a dime also. it sound unbelievable, but its true.

Pls, not considerin studying abroad, can a 2.2 do masters in Nigeria Federal University, like Unilorin,Futa,UI,OAU and so on
Re: Please ADVICE: 2.2 And Masters Abroad by scoobs: 5:21pm On Aug 23, 2015
LOL Advice.. B4 you go abroad check the Travel section..the USA Canda and UK threads..listen if you plan to go abroad for masters to return immediately to Nig UK is the best for you..even in cost and duration. If you plan to stay back dnt try the Uk. With a second classs lower + a good GRE score you would get into a TierB US school and could be offered part scholarship. For canada even a graduate with a second class upper might not be be admitted for a masters Degree they consider so many other things then again the difficulty is in getting the Visa. Germany is also good too and they are way cheaper compared to other countries..you only have to consider your living expenses. Personally USA and Germany would be preferred. Don't even ignore the nairaland travel section.. Start from the UK thread.

So many schools will take this CGPA for MSc in Nigeria since its still a Second Class Lower Grade... Going abroad is the challenge

Most UK schools take 2.1 and above...

Mrs Anyanwu, Unilag accepts 2.2 . and their master's form is out presently till the end of August.. there are some courses in Unilag that accept third class for master's degree. I myself just picked up my master's form from Unilag... so please browse this site for more info concerning Unilag masters degree.

No, most UK schools accept 2.2.
and also, it depends on d course u want to read. in my case, I wanted to read Law, Diplomacy & Global Change For my master's degree.. but when I applied, they said I can't get the course and that they advised I go for International Relations since International Relations accepts 2.2. Although i still applied for the International Relations cos I have already spent money running n travelling up n down to get the required documents needed for the processing and didn't want my money to waste even though international relations is something I can study here in Nigerian universities but as i said earlier, the fall of naira hindered everything. So I guess it depends on your course. I just got to know Unilag offers Diplomacy & International Law, so I went to pick the form. Am waiting for the entrance exam now.
