Harbieydehx:
Kalan sire, I have a B.Sc Mass Communication from NOUN, now I want to do M.Sc Mass Communication (Public Relations & Advertising). How achievable is that at UNILAG? And how do I get pass questions for the exam?

A sure one. Make sure u have at. Least 2.2. Check my blog page at the beginning of this thread to get all materials and more updates.

Congrats to you.

I will be posting some exams reports for you to learn from.

this are what past students experienced after their papers. its a random reports from our students.

for example:

From an accounting student who wrote the exams in 2018- Prince Tunbi

"M.SC Accounting questions were fair. 60 Objectives solely on accounts & tax for 45min.

The written essay was on Public Procurement Act, 450 words.

I grade the organization of the exam, 75%. They really tried.

Your contribution was awesome & engaging - you ensure will studied hard & build confidence for the exam."

so those of you in accounting, hope you learn a thing here...

go prepare as the form will be out in April.

all the best

awesomershal:
Hi Kalan
Good Job iu are doing here.
I graduated with a 2:2 (chemistry) and I'mm looking to apply for Masters in Process Engineering.

I would appreciate your input?
I also heard havin industrial experience is a prerequisite?

Yes awesomershal , you need 5 years experience to apply for this, sometimes having 3-4 years exp could be accepted.

Freddy94:
I just want to confirm , will the sale of form start by April this year?

It's likely... Last year started in April.

SOLARPOWER1:
Pls I need past question for Msc Systems Engineering...I did Elect/Elect at Bsc level.... Do you have it and how much?

go to the frist page and get the past questions from my link there. thanks

[quote author=Damilolalawal4 post=86145788][/quote]Here is my opinion Damilola.

Am eligible to study M.Sc in computer science, I studied B.Sc mathematics in my undergraduate with 2.2,

Msc Com sci requires Bsc Computer sci. With Bsc Maths, you are eligible for Pgd Comp sci, except you wan to go for Masters in IT.

However, in today's IT economy - MIT is more practical than Msc computer science, except you go abroad for such studies.

Hope it helps.

splendorian:
Please assist me with requirements for an MA in English literature

Its simple. Have a 2:2 minimum in BA English from any University
no need for experience

Thats all.

Afforda:
2.65 cgpa in accounting from UNILAG + ICAN (ACA)

Please which of these courses will I have upper edge.

Although, I love finance (but its one of the top 10 courses you listed)
Please which of these courses will I have upper edge.

Hi Afforda,

Go with Msc Finance.
Diversification will help your career as you climb up management ladder in any organization.

10 Most Competitive Unilag Pg Courses in 2019/2020

These courses were red hot as candidates poured into these departments.
This affected the cut-off marks and the percentage intake was low compared to those who applied.

1. MBA
2. Msc ECONOMICS
3. LLM
4. PGDE
5. Msc IRPM
6. MPIA
7. MIT
8. MSC MASS COMM
9. MSC FINANCE
10. MSC PUBLIC HEALTH

If you are applying for any of these in 2020 admission, then be ready to put in an extra effort to succeed.
But if you know what to do, you should be fine.

Smug4real:
Wow...exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot .
Please I would like to know the available options for MSc mechanical engineering and the minimum requirement for admission...I'm interested in Energy studies if it's available.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Smug4real,

For Msc Mech Engr all you need is 2:2 in any of the mechanical engineering family, like Bsc Production and the likes.
for energy, what exact course are you looking at, so I can make suggestions. ,

Joiceee:
would I still be able to do my pHD with the results from your recommendations?

You can proceed with your PHD with option 1 and 2.
To proceed with option 3, you will need to do academic Msc.

milinda:
Hello, I have my first degree in food science but want to switch to the management line preferably public health management or business management.
Do I need to get a PGD first before my MSc?

Hello milinda ,

You dont need to do any PGD, You can do the career change directly. But make sure you finished your education as far back as 2017 to be eligible.

Hope it helps.

jeswinner:
I was told to submit a PhD research proposal to the Unilag's Estate management department. Should I be weary of anything?

I don't know the school fees, how to get grant, if there is part-time studies etc?

Hi jeswinner ,

This is the first thing to do. So youre on the right track

Freddy94:
Hello my Kalan I have a BSC in sociology and I currently want to proceed with my masters this year ....and I'm actually interested in this two courses :

Master of Public Administration

OR

Master in Public and International Affairs

I would like your take on those choice and if possible how much would be the tuition fees ....for full time and part time

Hello Freddy94 ,

Those are big courses.

I said so, because of competition.
They are among the Top 10 Pg courses that is highly sought after.

Both are good depending on your career path.

any you choose will be okay.

Note: MPIA - Master in Public and International Affairs is also known as Masters of International Relations in most schools.

Both of them are part time courses ONLY.
both have same fees - N112k per year
and both of runs for 24 months.

All the best

wealthyhenry:
This is beautiful and serves as a morale boost for me. I for one had a BEng Electrical and Electronics Engineering and a first-class too but looking forward I realized I want to pursue a career in finance rather than engineering, cos of my newly found desire to open a financial institution in the long run, hence my desire to do PGD in finance and move on to masters in finance and MBA in finance

Please, what is the likelihood that I won't find myself wanting in this field given the short timing as compared to 4years of undergraduate studies? is it even obtainable in the labor market? can I get a job as a financial officer with PGD and masters in finance but with Engineering degree cert? these and many more are my questions.

Please help me clarify them. Thank you

Hi wealthyhenry

youre going for a career change.

its noble of you.

your first degree Engineering gives you a big advantage.

Many engineering students who change to Accounting/Finance clears their ICAN papers in record time even before some from that background. this is due to their maths background.

the difficult part of finance is more of maths and inference. The NPVs, Costing, Amortization, which if you have gone through integral calculus, with all those Lagrange formulas and all those big electrical dynamos equations and weird formulas...

definitely, it will still be challenging, but will be a piece of cake if you are an average engineering student.

trust me, I have experienced in both worlds, the difference is miles apart.

Joiceee:
thanks for this thread! Please as an HND holder in food technology, would it be possible for me to do PGD before proceeding to masters in unilag?

Hello Joiceee,

Although unilag dont accept HND in so many courses, lucky enough you can apply for direct masters with your HND albeit in limited courses.
I have 3 recommendations for you:

1. do a pgd in biomedical engineering which you qualify for and then use that to apply for any Msc of your choice in science which I guess you are looking for

2. Use your HND degree to go straight for Msc biomedical engineering

3. You go for MBA directly with your HND

whichever you decide, make sure its what you really want to do.

All the best.

A common mistake I see around.

Most graduates seek Postgraduate degree based on their First degree Background alone.

Its an error.


Its not compulsory that you must read in masters level what you read in undergrad level.

The world is evolving.

careers are shifting.

look at your interests and your career, then

find a microscopic aspect you can dominate or become a big player very well.

Less is more these days.

Gone are the days of the big 4 courses.

These days, its the little foxes that controls the game.


Four things you should think about as you chose your Pg courses are:

a. Think Application

b. Think Independence

c. Think Diversification

d. Think Monetization


Careers of yesterday are giving way to more applicable-solution oriented careers in the current Eco-space.

My simple advise - Dont read anything you cannot apply.


Employers are getting smart and strict - demands are higher

The job market demand more... than paper qualification.


Application is the new king.


What you should do?


Research how your Bsc course can be applied in any organization to create growth and change and see if you can further in that line.

Find the angle in your industry, that your Bsc degree can explore and make the four criteria above happen.

dont read a course just because you want to have a master degree, that is a shallow reason.

Purpose is the mother of exploits.

that is the real deal going forward in 2020.


Peace.

lapaitinho:
Am interested in MSC in petroleum and gas engineering. I didn't see it on the list

for now this course is under Msc Chemical Engineering, so you might as well look into this.
Thanks

wizzy199:
Do they accept a 2.2 degree for MSc Environmental toxicology and pollution management

Yes they do. Even 3rd class.

Dunnigrace:
Number 22 should be Agricultural science right?

No for now Unilag don't do MSc Agric Science

These days there are various reasons you would want to get a higher degree

9 reasons are

1. Career purposes
You can further your studies to expand you're view and insight in your chosen career.

2. Job opportunities

A master degree increases your job chances in this thick competitive environment.

3. For promotion purposes

This is a given especially for those in government circles

4. For travelling purposes

Travelling to Canada and other European countries which are point based gives more point if you have a master degree

5. For Skill

Some master courses helps you acquire additional skills to whatever you have currently

6. For Status

Yes I know some people will argue
But there is a class thing when you stand with your friends who has master degrees and you still struggling with BSC

7. Political Appointments
We are getting there. Not too far when if you don't have a master degree you cannot be in the position of leadership.

8. To change career
To change a. Career... A postgraduate degree can be very helpful.

9. To correct your Bsc Result

For 3rd class and 2.2 graduate. A master degree is a must if you want to stay relevant in your field.


Having said all these it's common wisdom to grow every way you can in your chosen profession.

1. Eligibility for Your Proposed Course of Study

Before you sign up for a course, check to see if you are eligible.
This is so so important. There are many courses more than 130 for postgraduate programs but find out if youre eligible for the one you chose.

How?

Go to Unilag pg website or ask around in this place and i will give you the answer you need.
Dont take anything for granted.


For example.

If you have an HND, you are limited to just 3 courses:

1. MBA

2. Project Management

3. Biomedical Engineering

And not many people would want to read these courses.

so what do you do?

HND is mostly a no-no.

But all BSC are welcomed, even if you got your BSC from a state school or private University.

Also graduates from NOUN can also apply to Unilag Pg programme

Disqualification:

I know a lot of people who scored above the cut-off point in various exams conducted in the last 7 years and were disqualified- just because they didnt meet the school requirement.

E.g Bsc Engineering cannot apply for Msc Computer Science directly, you should first apply via pgd else you will be denied.

Likewise, so many restrictions. You need to know and be informed adequately so you dont make a mistake.

A lady called me last year and asked if she could apply for MSC in Engineering with her PGD certificate from another school?

I told her Unilag frowns at PGD from other schools. She was shocked.

She then said, ok let her use her HND cert.

I told her no way. she later said but UI allows such.

I told her I know, but that is Unilag for you.

So its better you know your eligibility status.

I've a current case of one of my students who just checked his result and he scored 70+ but will be denied admission because he was not qualified with his BSC course - the guy is almost weeping!

The solution I propose is to find the courses out there you can do with your Bsc degree.

and i will tell you for free, there are so many courses that each degree has access to, dont be tied to one.


These are powerful combos you could do if only you have the right info, and i will be sharing some of them with you on this thread.

Take Bsc Economics For example

BSc Economics graduates has loads of courses they can combined with their Bsc and make a hot selling combo out of it.

Before you chose a course, look at the job market, and the trends, dont stick to your old ways or what Jamb forced you to read.

Go for your passion and your purpose.

Do what you love.

With the right counsel you can make good judgement.
Having said that seek proper info from mentors, its the easiest path to glory....


enjoy!

Bsc Economics hot combo

plus IRPM
pgd finance
plus Dev Finance
plus Risk Mgt
plus MPIA
plus MILR

you can have 10 and still fail, and you can have none and pass very well. the exam is he main deal.
