University of Maiduguri can take you straight to the doctorate level with that kind of result and their fees are comparably low. For example, a 2-year Master course is only N25,000. Asking fees for Ph.D in any course for the whole length of study is not more than N75,000, including all handouts, feeding and hostel accommodation. They're really having it cool in Maiduguri.

The university is arguably the best in the north east.

I have all I need about pgd ,,here if u would also like to know ,,,


One commonly used acronym relating to
postgraduate study is PGD. It simply means
Postgraduate Diploma. Hopefully, you are
used to M.phil, M.B.A and few others.


Postgraduate diploma (PGD) is an advanced
certificate, awarded by the school of
postgraduate studies of the respective
University (in Nigeria). A PGD is not a
degree per se. Then comes the question…..



WHY PGD ANYWAY?
A PGD serves more as a entry qualification
for a Masters degree programme. While
having a Bachelor degrees would suffice for
postgraduate admission, certain situations
warrant the need for a PGD.


Majorly, a PGD is needed when seeking
Masters admission to a specialization that
your is outside the scope of the Bachelors
degree. This means, it is possible to switch
course of study or career paths, without
restarting a new four/five years Bachelors
degree.


No matter your new fancy or interest. PGD
makes the switch possible and maybe
faster. Note didn’t say easier. Case in
point, bachelors graduate of chemistry, can
do a Masters in Chemical Engineering after
a postgraduate diploma PGD in Chemical
Engineering.


In addition, a PGD is needed if there was a
poor or below standard academic
performance. In this case, PGD is needed to
prove that the certain prerequisite grade.


Its is also needed to show that the student
can meet the intellectual demands of doing
the Masters degree of the course of study,
and the poor performance at previous
Bachelors degrees was probably due to
exigencies. Doing a PGD, serves as a
foundation programme in this respect. Many
Universities outside Nigeria called PGD,
Foundation Masters or Pre-Masters. They
all serve the same purpose.


In Nigeria in particular, PGD is required for
HND (Higher National Diploma) graduate by
some University before proceeding for a
Masters programme.



WHAT TYPE OF PGD SHOULD YOU STUDY
FOR?
The are PGD programmes in virtually every
course of study. But the most popular
seems to be the postgraduate diploma in
education (PGDE). This is necessary for all
who desire to be teachers at any level
(primary – university) but did not study
education. There are also PGD in
Journalism, PGD in Engineering, PGD in
some medical fields and PGD Business
Administration, Marketing, Finance,
Economics etc.



HOW LONG FOR A PGD?
Duration for a PGD programme depends on
specific schools. It ranges from a year to
two. The shortest time would not be less
than 9 months. The duration for a PGD is
also dependent types of study, full time,
part time, sandwish or distance learning. Do
note the unlike M.Phil. PGD is a terminal
programme, except in rare cases.
Admission for a Masters degree is not
automatic, and this prospective student
needs to apply formally.


Whatever your choices are, sure you are
better informed about what PGD is all
about.
