[quote author=Andrenalin post=126646096] Okay after doing PGD then Masters, COREN will still not accept it…. B.Eng is the minimum requirement. These days COREN is working towards harmonizing with international engineering standard such that Engineers in Nigeria can be accepted all over the world without going through the rigor of their certification. As a result, new policies are being put in place according to requirement of international standards. Engrs minimum requirement is still B.Eng as practiced all over the world.[/quotel] Thank you very much sir for the explanation Thank God I did not buy that HND form ooo |

I am doing the Top up Degree program B Tech Mechanical Engineering there is nothing wrong with Top up, I have colleague who has done Top up Degree program in UK they spend just a Year in the UK. Some of them have done their Masters Degree here in Nigeria. I already have a Degree in Physics after I obtained my HND Mechanical Engineering. There is nothing wrong with doing a Top up. If UK education system that we adopt is doing Top up then why can't HND do such. Some University do Top up program but call it HND conversion Program, some call it HND to Bsc Program, Post HND Program. Who feel like doing a Top up should go ahead, We even try to get result, you guys are complaining why some politicians are carrying forge result all over the place. People are using same HND to get fully Funded PhD Scholarship in the US. When National Open university of Nigeria started you people condemn it but now Nigeria appreciate it method of learning. |

hakeem4: We're saying the same thing!!! All what you listed here are the limitations that HND Graduates are attempting to avoid by opting for a Bachelor Degree through Top Up program. |

babakb:I’m not saying you shouldn’t top up or convert, I’m saying you should follow the prescribed rules. If the commission says after ND you should start from 200L or HND you should start from 300L or after your HND you should do a PGD. 1 Like |

babakb: This will blow your mind. Advantages of HND over a Bachelor’s Degree A Higher National Diploma (HND) course has several advantages over a traditional bachelor’s degree: HND courses typically offer a more practical focus, providing students with hands-on training and work placements that directly apply to their chosen career path. When compared with bachelor’s degree, HND courses are more affordable than bachelor’s degrees and allows students to enter the workforce more quickly. HND courses also deliver specialised vocational skills and knowledge that employers value highly, leading to excellent career prospects. HND courses offer flexibility regarding study plan and schedules, allowing students to balance their studies with work or other commitments. HND courses offer a valuable pathway to various careers and can be an excellent choice for students looking to gain practical skills and enter the workforce quickly and cost-effectively. HND courses offer the opportunity for students to transfer to a bachelor’s degree after completing their HND, providing a cost-effective way to earn a bachelor’s degree while also gaining valuable practical experience. Another major difference between a HND and a bachelor’s degree is that HND courses offer several advantages for international students willing to study in Dubai. These courses provide students with an internationally recognised qualification highly valued by employers worldwide. Additionally, HND courses in Dubai offer a practical approach to learning, providing students with transferable hands-on skills across industries. HND courses are also cost-effective for international students, with lower tuition fees and living expenses than traditional bachelor's degrees. Pursuing an HND course in Dubai can provide international students with a valuable qualification, practical skills, and a cost-effective education option.
