Put less emphasis on UK schools. They hardly fund master's.
Send me an email let's discuss there.

Do Schools in Nigeria consider Msc grade while employing someone as a lecturer, if the person is applying with Msc degree? I finished with 3.01 in my Msc (Economics), which is below the requirement for admission into PhD programme in almost all Nigerian Federal universities . However, I am considering taking up an Assistant Lecturing Job before proceeding to Mphil/PhD. Will my Msc grade affect my chances of getting the job?

@T22: I'm not relegating the quality of your education. you are taking it too personal. we are here to make valid contributions and not sway comments. sometimes people like you push me above the walls to make statements I ought not to make. for instance, here is another fellow researcher in Turkey [ahamdiheme], just the same way I challenged your statements, I also challenged his...but guess what, your approach to the questions have rather been uncouth and your responses garnished with so much resentment. on the other hand, the same question I asked you is the same question I have asked ahamdiheme. unlike you, he clearly pointed out why he will not recommend the UK by pointing out cost of education and the privileges of publication. it's as simple as that. just lay your cards on the table. when it comes to rationalising issues, i just dont know why people take a pugnacious dimension. well, like you rightly pointed out, I dont know you and I dont care to know you - whether you see America as a universe or whatever, go hug a transformer if you cannot engage in intellectual debates.

@ Ahamdiheme:

i must say it's not always the case. for instance, if you explore the opportunities for a scholarship, you may get one. I'm pretty sure about this as I am currently benefiting from one with stipends to go with. I dont pay a dime as tution. meanwhile, it may also amaze you to know that some of these positions get advertised without applicants knowing about it or turning up to receive such grants. sometimes, the problem with prospective researchers is getting the right information and being alert to advertisements for such opportunities particularly students from developing countries. you cannot imagine how much is often set aside to assist students from developing countries via scholarships and grants, but they hardly know about it.

secondly, that you cannot publish as a researcher is a misconception. im currently working towards having 2 publications before im through. again, your final thesis is almost always submitted for a publication if you desire. there are many opportunities for publications here. as a matter of fact, I know of many MSC students with one publication already.one is a friend who finished from Uniben with a first class deegree in mathematics. he subsequently came to the Uk for MSC ; University of Loughborough and made a distinction, he's currrently in his final year PHD [fully funded by the british govt] and already has 2 publications. so please, varify the sources of your information lest you be misguided in your decisions. your PhD thesis, if published [provided you submit it as no one will hold you under duress] will always have your name first, then the name(s) of your supervisor(s).

@Tanimola, your words are kind and insightful. I will take your advice to heart.
But then, with my BSc, is there a chance I can get a graduate assistant position (unilag in mind). My thought here is, so I can familiarise myself with the academia as I gladly start up my MSc programme? I wouldn't mind taking peanuts as pay, I just enjoy being in school and impacting knowledge. I read philosophy at bsc level and intend continuing in that line.
Thanks

this the best career thread here on nairaland nice work to y'll... really appreciate reading. i will love to be enlightened more a lecturing career opportunities/scholarship for a student of religious and african culture. still an undergraduate with an improving good enough G.P.A of 4.46.

to the above statement in RED

1. I have not generalised in anyway. this is a qualitative dialogue and i've just interpreted your comments. there's no generalisation in qualitative approach [rule of thumb] mind you. I'm equally sure I've not drawn wrong inferences from your transcript. you clearly advised prospective researchers to steer clear without stating valid reasons. as a researcher, I'll label you as being biased. your likes will sample data to suit the end result they wish to achieve. objectivity will eventually get defeated - and this a typical reflection of the kind of studies we have back home. you have extended such prejudice to this forum. I challenge you once again to summarily state valid reasons buttressed with sufficient evidence why you will NOT recommend the Uk.

2. your second statement highlighted in red sounds so nebulous. the UK is known for outstanding journals and publications. go check the world best universities and see how UK universities compete keenly for top posts with American UNis. mind you, the Uk isn't a continent and north America is one . yet, their impact in standardised education is felt not just in Europe, but all over the world. I'm not advertising UK schools, I'm just being objective based on experience.

same here bro. Religious and cultural studies. Heard lecturing jobs are quite easy in that department cause few people actually go for the course
