NOUN is good, if you can read because it's unconventional university, On how easier for NOUN certificate holders to get job, I have no statistics for that, the major factor that I think it guaranty for a job in Nigeria is the strength of you or your relatives influence in our society irrespective of higher institution one attended.

NOUN students has been permitted to go NYSC recently, I know a PHD holder from NOUN that is lecturing in UNILAG, their law students performed excellently in Law Schools.

I got my Msc in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution at NOUN. It's good only if you believe in your academic ability because you must read to survive in NOUN.

Thank you for saying the truth. When they are offering 8 courses in 100 level in conventional universities NOUN Students are offering 13 courses in 100 level. When they are sorting lecturers in conventional universities NOUN Students has no lecturers to sort, they will read their course materials and face computer to write their exam and the computer will show you your scores immediately you submit with no way to manipulate your scores.
Most of them talking down of NOUN can not defend their certificate the way NOUN students will defend theirs.
I did my master degree there
Was once a student in OAU 2005 then.... am studying in noun now... it's not easy there ooo... if you cant study on your own ... forget it

A university in UK declined my sis Masters admission because she graduated from a school (Noun) they claimed has no recognition.
They don't serve but they are given nysc exemption letter which some organization don't accept.

I kid you not...in 2020 I did apply for a forensics course in the US and was asked several details and University. From the drop down there was NOUN there. Not only that in World Ranking NOUN is there too. Also Note not only Nigeria runs Open University other countries including the UK does too
You even have time talking to him sef

Noun is a good option for someone that's not hunting for a 9/5 job that solely depends on certificate over skill.

If your field is more of what you can offer and skill, just go to NOUN. You will get more time to explore other things. The school calendar is fast and they don't do unnecessary strike like other. 4 years is 4 years.

I am in my final semester there, they actually have very good materials. Arguably the best, I know so many students in other conventional universities that use our materials for exam preparation.

I did some findings, the school is recognised outside Nigeria.

Not a PR, just my experience.

Good day everyone.

This is a quick one; are there any disadvantages of getting a first degree from NOUN? Please, avoid speaking out of prejudice.

I have resolved to acquire some digital skills and intern afterwards in the said field, and this plan may not permit me to go to a conventional university. The only possible option is to run a degree in NOUN and work/intern concurrently.

What is your honest advice?
Mods, kindly move to frontpage. Thank you.

It is only in Nigeria whose highest institutions' certificates are not recognised in the West, that the credibility of a degree from an Open University can be debated. Graduates of Open Universities in the West are highly sought after by employers chiefly because of their dedication and motivation in acquiring their degrees Especially in a very difficult mode of study. These are graduates that are easily given opportunities for post graduate studies in some of the best Universities in Europe.

To me Noun is still work in progress. Many companies still don't recognize the degree from this university. Even moribund private universities are still somehow ahead of it. Well, nobody knows tomorrow. You can give it a trial. But I will suggest u try public university if u are still below 20. That's my own advyice.

I disagree with you sir . Kindly name the companies that do not recognise the degree from the university .

Go for it bro. First degree from NOUN is a good step in the right direction. You'll have enough time to hustle and learn at the same time.

Most of the people that are dropping negative comments here do not have enough information on how the university operates.

One thing you must be aware of is that you must read and understand in NOUN because you won't be able to sort ANYBODY.

Many people are gainfully employed with NOUN degree while other are running their post graduate degree both inside and outside the country with their certificate from NOUN.

Goodluck.
