Can I Become A Professor Without Phd? by amliftedhigher: 6:01am On May 31, 2018 |
Good morning Nairalanders. I was having an academic argument yesterday with some colleagues. Lo and behold this question came up "Some one says that he can become a professor without PhD " Our argument grew further. The man gave us examples of professors without PhD and our Vice president became an example. Osinbajo is a professor of law, going through his educational profile. He has only LLB and LLM no PhD. This brings me to my question. So lawyers and Great academics In this forum can someone either in law or other professions become a professor in that field without PhD?

Professorial award is one given to: 1. An academic who may have spent years not less than 10 after his PHd, and must have met the required threshold in terms of publications both nationally and internationally, PHd and masters supervision, and quality paper presentation both nationally and internationally. 2. Political professor has no place in the academia especially not physics where I domicile. You must have made worthwhile contribution to the body of knowledge in your field. Maybe what you should search for are his academic records and not some records from Wikipedia. You know how unreliable data from Wikipedia can be. I.E any one can write any thrash there. I greet you 1 Like |

There is an online debate to Woke Soyinka's professorial title. Prof Yemi was lecturer in the university. Probably, his contributions or something must have earned him that title. Something must have happened in Unilag or abroad |

You said it. To add to it, professorship so to speak, favours the academics but even if you are not and you have publications of at least 10 published in international journals with peer reviews, you can apply for professorship in any renowned university or academic setting. Ocheinstein: 1 Like |

Google Prof Onyeka Nwelue .
I don't think he even had a bsc prior to becoming a prof.
Intelectual capability, I think, is a consideration. |

Before it was possible, but not now NUC has made it mandatory that you must have a PhD. If you do not have a PhD, you cannot become a senior lecturer. 6 Likes |

I think the youngest professor of all time became one at the age of 18. Do the maths and deduce the answer to your question. |

It used to be possible depending on your contribution to the academia, publications, administrative appointments et al. However, nowadays, due to a review, it is even difficult to become a senior lecturer without a PhD. 1 Like |
