Try university of west London
.maybe they can admit you for pre masters.

Yes

zeeLady:
There is hope. There are other factors to consider.
Do you have relevant work experience?
Try and study hard for GRE and ace it very well.
Have good recommenders preferably professors.
In your statement of purpose, you can explain some reasons why your cgpa was low, for example, you worked many hours while schooling.........Personalise your SOP to reflect your background and circumstance.

I have someone who just got admission with some funding, without a CS background, with low CGPA, but with an engineering background.

Admission decisions are done wholistically. They dont depend on only your CGPA. However, you have to make sure the other components are actually projecting you as a candidate to be considered.

Thanks.

No work experience tho.

HYFR007:


My candid advice: do a top up or pre-masters. Den you can apply for your masters.

Will the pre masters or post graduate diploma in Nigeria be useful abroad

Since I am done, I was thinking of doing a post graduate diploma or pre masters to backup my bachelor while at the same time do my nysc...

HYFR007:


There is hope but it’s not certain. If you have work experience in the field, you can give it a shot.

No experience

Is there hope for a third class graduate in CS getting a masters in any university?

Pls I need guidance

Is there hope for a third class graduate in CS getting a masters in any university?

Pls I need guidance

My people my people what's the update?

kevwemanuel:


This advice is even more suitable for PhD since admission in over 95% of cases comes with full funding. For MSc, full funding's chance is as low as 40% and the funny thing is that the qualifications you need for MSc are exactly the same with that for PhD. So I always advice folks to go for PhD instead of MSc, except you have phobia for reading.

Can a person do PhD without masters?

Just with a bachelor's degree?

I have learnt about the Rabbit and the forest filled it carrots...

Also learnt about the One technique thousand times thinking...

ILoveDemMANNA:
Can you imagine a country where the school curriculum is regulated by a national central body and states have no powers to vary or amend their curriculum?
So, if the rest of the developed world is light years ahead in what they teach their children from primary schools, and our Minister of Education has absolutely no clue, the States must be burdened with antiquated school curriculum until such a time (if we are lucky, before rapture perhaps!!) that we have an Education Minister who would realise how far behind we are and bring the curriculum up to date.
Just take a look at the science curriculum for grade students in advanced countries and you would cry for Nigeria.
I recently read of a high school in Japan which has amended its curriculum to include robotics and drones technology.
IN HIGH SCHOOL!!
But our Professors here don't have a hang on Robotics even!
Students are still taught the very prehistoric rudiments of physics and chemistry in our schools.
And this is even in the few schools that teachers and students still meet in the classrooms!
For the few public schools that are lucky to have labs, all you see are miserable nameless creatures trapped in formalin, to which nobody ever pays attention.
These creatures suffer a double jeopardy having suffered the first misfortune of being caught and preserved in formalin in Nigeria, and then thereafter completely ignored, even in death!
And because the control of our curriculum is central, there is nothing States can do about this.

You would think this is not a problem until you understand that Nigerians spend over ONE TRILLION NAIRA every year to study abroad.
You see, the reason why you have Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Oxford, etc is not only for academic excellence of the citizens of the countries which have these schools. No.
They invest in their institutions so that they can earn revenue from foreign students from countries like Nigeria which has destroyed its educational system.
Abroad, schools are so important to society that the economy, business and lifestyle of whole cities and even States completely depend on or revolve around schools. What would the city of cambridge be without Cambridge University.
Or Cambridge, Massachusett without Harvard University. These cities depend on these universities to survive.
And imagine that Nigeria had invested in its universities and was earning $1billion dollars a year from foreign students seeking to study here, who would be fighting over oil in the Niger Delta?
How many car manufacturing companies would we have in Owerri near FUTO where students are constantly doing and selling their research products to burgeoning engineering and manufacturing companies?
Recently, three students in Sweden conducted research and came up with a product that could improve wear and tear on tyres.
The product became so successful that Volvo had to partner with these students to patent the product.
Now when this product hit world stage, can you imagine how much revenue sweden would earn from these product?
Do your research, most of the world-class products we buy today off the shelf, at great cost, were invented by university students.
As you are reading this, do not forget that without Harvard University, there would not have been facebook, and this our interface would have been impossible.

But our students In Nigeria are not entirely without inventions. We invented the Pyrates Confraternity, the , the Eiye, the Vikings and what not!!
Students resume school with guns and bullets, rather than books and scholastic ideas, as though academic institutions were a war college. Lecturers fly colors as do students.
And when the turf war begins, people die in droves. But States can do nothing about this because some of these institutions are controlled by the Federal Government. Even for the ones controlled by States, you still can't do much because the security apparatus is controlled by the Federal Government.
The Federal Government will provide or withdraw security from the State, depending on whether it is happy with the sitting Governor. So every year, all sorts of characters are vomited from Nigerian Universities to take their place in Nigerian society. So you have Judges, Lawyers, Engineers, Doctors and so forth whose first and primary allegiance is to their cult group, before the Country.
The multiplier effect of this, is a treatise for another day.
And this has been going on for decades in this country.
One day, I pray we get it right!

We need to talk....

FahBuLous:
Yes, i reside in Nigeria..

Good

FahBuLous:
You talked abt time, the problem here is that i live alone, if i stop work and focus on the skill solely, i wont be able to pay my rent, pay bills n feed.... So i was thinking of part time so i can b working and learning... Do u think this is a good idea?

Don't worry about time...

Firstly, chose the path you wanna focus on..

Depending on the path, you can allocate your time...

But true, part time will solve alot of difficulties in learning...

Do you reside in Nigeria?

FahBuLous:
GreatMage thank you very much... I appreciate...

Of course

First ask yourself:

What is in-demand in this era and can fetch me money from different sources irrespective of my location?

Then, ask yourself:

How much I am willing to invest into this skill?
And when I talk invest I mean; time, energy and money! Yes, you need to spend money to get more money...

Have you asked yourself these questions?
Gotten your answer?

Then pursue the path...

But if you ask me?

1. Web programming
2. Data Analysis
3. Mobile programming
4. Graphic designer
5. UI/UX

Are the top five you can choose from...

What is moving the world in career path nowadays is what they call STEM!

YOU CAN BROWSE IS OUT

But mind you, that STEM shit is for those that are going for undergrad, postgraduate and whatnot bullshit...

I guess you just need something to learn and using to make money so it doesn't really apply to you.

Of course, it is a plus if you are in it tho

Coldie:

U want create app or u want learn coding?

I wanna explore opportunities in Europe for programmers...

Coldie:

If u see the kind confidence Nigerians get, I no sure say any oyibi fit intimidate Nigerian person o.

Nigerians are always bold n loud na

But hafa coding na, any business ideas

Coldie:

There's alot for me to learn here, I want to learn everything I can about their system i discovered exactly the business I designed to start in Nigeria before I travelled I discovered that it's already here I go there almost everyday I just study them I have used google earth to see their entire business environment in 3d and googled everything I can about them, it's already in the box.

Time will tell there's nothing special about Europeans

Hello people...

Any one gone for undergrad courses here or presently schooling in Belgium in bachelor?

Hello people... Is there still space?

Amanee:
@babaibe

My earlier response to you has been hidden, I don't know why. In any case stop feeling sorry for yourself and continue calling and ask family and friends to call on your behalf. Nobody is controlling any line, lots of people got dates here including me.
