@adibo. please can u shade more light on this referee report. From the advert our referees are expected to forward a report on us to the school before the application dateline. i want to know if anybody can be choosen as a referee and what do we do the referee form that we downloaded.

Normally, ur former lecturers should be your referee but others said it can be anyone. Nobody needs to forward any report, just download it and get three people to sign for you, then keep it till clearance time

7Alexander:
Please guys I'm currently doing a change of surname, my problem is if this will cause difficulties for me during the application process, or do I need to apply with my former surname, then when admitted I can now do the change of name.

When will the change of name be effected?

benedictuyi:
It was indicated in the application brochure dt dere will be no exam for my dept, will there still be a central exam for me?

They don't necessarily follow that brochure. Some departments write only central exam, some people write only department exam, some write both

I believe when more people come around, you guys should create a whatsapp group for this current set for easier dissemination of information

esiris:
adibo pls can u add me to d uniben postgraduate WhatsApp group...my number is 07034430797...thanks

Okay hv u gotten admission already or u r just applying?

esiris:
pls does uniben accept student hand submition of copy of transcript? ...thanks

Not really, just post it to uniben through courier service

Jaiyekay:
Okk Thanks Bro! How do I know if my dept writes exams ot not? So it doesn't come all of a sudden + does any body have an idea if microbiology or biochemistry writes and the nature of their exams Please help

I have confirmed from a friend that microbiology wrote department exam last year, dnt knw abt biochemistry for now. Take note, Dere r two different exams, central exam and department exam

[quote author=Jaiyekay post=45343404][/quote]All universities are recognized. Although, they take into account ur class of degree, ur school. Dnt worry about that because the most important criteria is ur score in the exam. Just start reading if ur department writes exam

Raphael015:
Many thanks, I have successfully paid it and submitted. I have equally downloaded the payment slip and the one of registration. Please do you have the idea of the nature & structure of questions to be expected in Economics dept? Thanks.

I am in economics department, we don't write the central exam, only department exam. The questions in my time were 25 to be answered in 25 minutes. Questions came from macroeconomics, microeconomics, industrial economics, mathematical and econometrics.
One advice, read hard

Raphael015:
. Thanks; I have done it, but am I to remove the online payment ticket already give and start again?

No click on it and continue ur payment

bamijayy:

I am in economics department, we just resumed yesterday May 3rd, second semester ends in January, while the remaining time for ur project depends on ur speed and supervisor. So, May to January is about 9 months for coursework, the new set will start lectures in February

benedictuyi:
you should have ur transcript sent from your school if dt hasn't been done.. I'm also stuck on the referee ish.. there is a reference form for download on Uniben's site, it has spaces for 3 referees...where I'm stuck is i dunno if i should just mail the form to d pg school directly cos i don't know how I'm going to have my school mail it for me

You are not to mail the referee form, Just download the form, take it to 3 people to sign for you and then keep it till ending of the year or next year when u r doing ur clearance

HeedrizDepearl:
Hello guys, please I just paid the application fee. What is the next step to take? I also don't understand how the referees are supposed to mail their reports to the pg school's email. Still on referees, how many exactly are needed?

Thanks in anticipation.

Once you have applied, all you need to do is to print the application form and start reading if you are to write exam.
As for the referee, nobody needs to mail anything, just print the referee form, give it to 3 people to sign for you and then keep it till it is time for clearance, after admission

esiris:
pls I want to find out if uniben will need d transcript nd referees during application or will it be needed wen admission list is out.....

They will be needed after admission list is out, during your clearance but ensure you ask your school to send your transcript to uniben as soon as possible, so that it can be ready when needed

benedictuyi:
please, r we to mail our reference form ourselves or is a referee meant to do it on our behalf

Ask ur school to mail it for you to uniben

7Alexander:
Please does anyone know the tuition for Master of International Law and Security (MILS) and if the programme is offered as part time or full time. It was not indicated in the programme advert. I intend applying for it as my second choice.
Is it possible for one to gain admission in the two courses they applied for.
Someone please help

MILS is a part time programme. The initial tuition is 229,500k, while the returning tuition is 187,700k. I dnt knw if u can be admitted in two departments

7Alexander:
Please pardon my curiosity? Is it true that part time school fees is way higher than that of full time students, because I'm applying for MPA which is only done on part time basis. Anybody applying for MPA?

Yes part time is generally higher than full time programme

benedictuyi:
please, in the reference form, there's a column for application pin entry, what am i spose to fill dere?

You can put ur registration number which starts wit pg.........

7Alexander:
Please adibo, I'm getting confused here. I thought tuition for M.Sc programme is paid just once? Or is it per session just as in B.Sc?

Most of the programmes r 18 months. You pay the initial tuition for the first session (year), then you pay about half for the remaining session, which is called returning fee. Like mine is 150 for the first session, and then 42 for the second session

benedictuyi:
pls wat about engineering?

Engineering is within 100 to 150 for the first session

ABIOLAY2J:
@adibo, I 'm in Communications. Thanks for your prompt response.

The school fees is 100k for the first session, and about 42 for the second session

ABIOLAY2J:
Please when will the Masters form be out? How much is the tuition? Thanks

The form is out already. It will expire May 30th, the tuition depends on ur department. It generally ranges from 100 to 150, and probably above for few programmes. What department are you?

7Alexander:
Thanks bro, I'm confused because I saw on the PG website that application has begun.
You wrote that some Dept's commenced last December, is it for 2015/2016 or 2016/2017?
When will the next PG academic session begin, that's apart from the current one.

Yes application for 2016/2017 is ongoing. Mathematics department 2015/2016 started since December last year, while others started in January, my own department will start in May. What I am saying is that the calendar for different departments is not uniform.
As for when the next session will start, it also depends on the department. Like MBA started lectures since January or so, which means that the 2016/2017 session will most probably start before October

7Alexander:
Hello,
Please I need some clarifications about MBA in UNIBEN. I saw on the school website that application is ongoing for the 2016/2017 session and that it closes on the 30th of May. I ask,
1. When will the 2016/2017 academic session commence?
2. Does their programmes actually take 2years ?
3. What is the tuition?

The commencement depends on the programme. Some departments started lectures since December while some others are yet to start but lectures for MBA will most probably start towards the end of this year or latest January.
As for the duration, each department also varies. Economics for example from the academic calendar may not even exceed one year, but I don't know about MBA. There are different tuition fees for both full time and part time, an MBA student will be able to help you with that

modella2015:
