Hi Nlanders, I am about to seek admission into NOUN to obtain an M.Sc. in Public Health. I work for my state government and am also an entrepreneur. Due to the nature of my job being demanding. I am thinking of doing my MSc in NOUN. But what is holding me back is, is it internationally recognised. In case there is an opportunity later in future won't i be sidelined because i attended NOUN? Do conventional university recognize them assuming i want further for PhD?

ManuelNate1:
Please do ur masters in public health with ABU distance learning. Very fast paced and well structured. On ur certificate, it will be written ABU Zaria just like the normal full time students.

horlahwaley:

oyeb15:
Only if you're like 60years plus. But if u are still young , it's either you are lazy, or very busy doing some other things cos l u suppose compete in UI, Unilag etc.

It's like a 17 year old boy doing university part-time program.

Only if u want to do it for doing sake cos your prospective employer will doubt your adaptability to d university rigorous system.


I won't employ NOUN master to lecture in my university.

NOUN - National Open University of Nigeria na federal university

ernieboy:
internationally recognized me? I doubt, most Nigerian certs are barely regarded or recognized outside Nigeria.

It is a good idea but NOUN is not easy as people seems to see I am talking from experience.

ufotunang:
..ok why is it not easy....just asking

ABU Zaria has a distance learning centre at Ogba, that's their liasion office and possibly their exam centre.

My friend just enrolled for one of their Masters program.

I did my PGDE in NTI and it was affiliated to NOUN. NOUN certificate was issued to us in 2016. I used it gain admission for my Masters at University of Bolton , UK in 2022. I am done with study and working now in UK.

NOUN is recognise anywhere.

samguru:

My sister is currently doing her MSc in Unilag with Noun B.Sc

As someone who has studied both full-time and part-time, I am writing this from experience.

For PG programs, NOUN is BY FAR better than most of these conventional universities like UNILAG and others. Your course materials, course outline, past questions are all available before you start your courses, you have a clear direction of where you're going instead of chasing lecturers up and down. Attendance is also another issue, which NOUN doesn't require. So it's perfectly ideal for employed PG students.

If you want a stress-free masters, choose NOUN or a similar distance learning institution like ABU DLC.

hatchy:
I disagree with you on this because many colleagues left ABU for Uniport. ABU combine their study methods as it is not purely online. You're required to be present in any of their centers to write their exams.

Ozap:
But with ABU masters he cannot further to PHD

brainhgeek:
I am a proud alumnus of NOUN's Public Health Master's program, a member of the first cohorts of the course. My masters degree was accepted for my upcoming doctorate in the UK. It was a worthwhile investment, despite initial reservations.

harmony940:
Please how long does their certificates take to get ready...please not statement of results ooo!

Fuckingmallam45:
Master no be master oo,there's level to this thing oo. There's a reason why the riches chose some certain schools to attend despite their wealth, even though they might not make use of that certificates but they dare not go to anyhow schools.

koreanlord:
Doesn't uniport require one to physically write exams in a center?

OboloMAN:
Looks like a lot have changed over time with the MPH program. Is it 100% online now ?

Can I reach you for inquiries. Thanks

akpumping7720:
So for your mind I don't know right? Since she's scared of their credibility, then she should try other Federal uni.
