Although we are talking about top 5 hardest University Courses, it’s worthy of note that there’s no such thing as an “easy” course of study in the tertiary institution. Despite the promises of online diploma mills, there simply is no shortcut to a university degree.

Whether you’re pursuing a part time degree or at a traditional full time course, getting a real university education takes a significant investment of time and effort. Anyone who tells you it will be easy is either ignorant or lying. We have made some research, and here’s our list of top 5 hardest University Courses you can study in Nigerian Universities.


Engineering

Congratulations Engineers! Now you finally have some proof for what you’ve been telling everyone all along: yours is the hardest major. From chemical to civil to electrical to mechanical, the courses you take in chemistry, physics, calculus, statistics, geology, biology, and other tough prerequisits give you the lowest rate of As and the highest rate of Cs for any major. Because of this, the path to becoming an Engineer has a notoriously high dropout rate not just in Nigeria, but elsewhere in the World – even in Harvard!


Life sciences

It’s a rare student who doesn’t find at least one or two concepts that trip him up in cell biology class. The life sciences include anatomy, biochemistry, neuroscience, biology, genetics, zoology, and more tricky subjects, landing this field just behind engineering on the low GPA spectrum. Many graduates of a life sciences path go on to careers in the medical, dental, or veterinary fields, which famously require as many as five to six or eight more years of difficult schooling, internship, and residency after a bachelor’s degree is earned. Ask anyone reading Vet-Med in UNN and he will brief you!


Business & management

You may think what your boss does is not difficult at all, and you may be right; a degree in management is probably not what makes this category a difficult one. It more likely lands here thanks to the challenges of getting a degree in finance or accounting. Either way, information shows that well below half of business and management students are able to pull off a 3.5 CGPA or above during graduation, and they average the second-longest amount of time in which students complete their degrees.


Physical sciences

Physics, chemistry, and geology all fold into this major, making it one of the hardest courses in the University. With the lowest percentage of students able to work full-time and the fourth-lowest rate of students with GPAs over 3.5, majoring in this field proves to be a challenging undertaking. And the uphill battle doesn’t end after graduation. A glut of graduates, a poor economy, and a move toward cleaner energy has created a troubling outlook for chemistry graduates.


Social/behavioral sciences

This category seems to be a popular choice for students seeking an easy A, but they could do so more easily by picking something else. The social and behavioral sciences encapsulate what are sometimes known as the “soft sciences”: psychology, economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science. Although they are much more closely related by GPA to some of the easy major entries than they are to engineering, the social and behavioral sciences house the fourth-lowest number of full-time workers and are tied for shortest median degree completion time.

Now what’s your course of study?

No architecture? . .






Studio is our bedroom

Not surprised geology made the list

Studying that course takes ALL OF YOUR LIFE

Proud of it tho
