Yes, it is possible, just tell the school you want to apply to that you identify as master's holder.
You're right brother. It's just like robbing a bank and telling them you don't identity as armed robber.

Wrong! It says it is tuition-free, and that is what I showed there. Basically, you pay administrative costs alone and get a bachelor's degree for free. undecided
"Tuition free" is a scam. Is more like UHaul advertising 19.95 for for their cube van and ending up charging me $105 for mileage in the fine prints.

Your analogy makes no sense! undecided

The cost of a Bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois, Chicago is estimated to cost $18,958 for a resident/in-state off-campus student(does not include cost of books, housing, personal expenses, transportation, etc.). How can a program that costs approximately 1/3rd of that amount be considered a scam? huh

Cost of a bachelor's degree at the university of Illinois is totally irrelevant to the discussion. It becomes a scam if advertised as "free". It may be my opinion though.

What in the world is going on here? undecided

How is it irrelevant if it clearly shows that the tuition cost alone is at least $11,000 at UIC for the same degree? UOP is advertised as tuition-free, meaning the person will pay $0 for tuition costs. Again, how is that a scam? 🥱🥱🥱

The problem here is Nigeria. Looking at how anyhow our universities are, can they give jobs without the PhD being from a Nigerian university, or Germany or UK ? That’s the real question here. Tbh, teaching is my passion and I’m really willing to go back to school
The certificates I'm talking about are not Nigerian certificates. The PhD is from UK and US. You can research it.

No bSc or MSc yet. I just thought I can use my WAEC to start PhD in these countries
Maybe you'll have to wait until Oduduwa is born. You'll be able to use Nepa bill to become anything there. Right now, I'm not sure you can do that in any country.

The total approximate costs to earn a degree at UoPeople are the following:

Associate Degree: $3,260
Bachelor’s Degree: $6,460
M.Ed.: $5,260
MBA: $5,460
MSIT: $5,460

The school advertises itself as a Tuition-free establishment(not administrative cost-free). Ask your friends who attend schools in Nigeria and other schools abroad how much they had to pay for tuition, and compare that to $0 for tuition-free schools. undecided
“Tuition-free” means that, unlike other universities, UoPeople doesn’t charge students for taking courses. UoPeople also doesn’t charge students to enroll, to pay for books or other course materials, or for campus fees. Our unique online model of higher education allows us to bring the classroom to you– cutting the cost for our students overall.

Sorry I am in the wrong here. I went back to UoPeople website and realized it is tuition free indeed. My apologies.

You should be advertising this to everyone you meet out there so they can work towards getting a degree that is so many times cheaper than what is currently obtainable in Nigeria today. I wish Nigerians had access to Libraries where they could go to access the internet and study for free, even if for a couple of hours each day. grin

So, Nigerians attending UI, OAU, UNIBEN pay up to $5000 in tuition?

I don’t know how much those schools charge. But if they charge $5k in Nigeria of today, no one will go there

Why? Why does someone who pretends he wants to earn an advanced degree not even have an idea of how much it costs to earn such a degree, even in Nigeria? It does not make sense. Are you attention trolling? undecided

Kobo, stop doing this. I didn’t want to use degree to start PhD, I already have my WAEC certificate. And for PhD , I don’t think people pay to get that so I should not concern myself with fee

In the US (I don't know about Germany or Denmark) you can apply for masters without WAEC or high school certificate. Just be a professional in your field with working experience and you'll get admission.

But for PhD, I doubt. You'd have to complete your masters before applying for PhD.
You're spot on for concerning the Masters application. For PhD/DBA you can go directly from Bachelors Degree straight to Doctorate if you have good results.

Though by year 2 or so, after the PhD coursework, you have the option of dropping out and simply bagging a Masters.

What school or government agency gave you this information regarding programs in Germany? You have only a WAEC degree and not much else to show for it at 39(approximately 4 whole decades on this planet), but are you interested in love? huh

A WAEC degree at 39 isn’t bad. I have friends who have nothing. Again, are you a woman? Do u want to marry? You chat like a woman tho

You and your friends should ask yourselves why you think you deserve the romantic love of a woman or even a man, given your lack of hitting some basic milestones in life to date. undecided

You’re right. And I agree with you.

I’m quite of old age. Going to be 39 in few months. Most people I relied on to help me stand on my feet have either refused to help me, and even at time when they do, they give so little.


My plan is to back to school. Looking at my age, I feel I’m more deserving of a PhD since I know of a guy we went to secondary school together who’s now a lecturer at UNIBEN, and he told me a PhD and some papers or articles he researcher (I don’t know what that really mean) got him the job. I love physics and I had D7 in that which is a pass

Is it possible to do this PhD in a country like Germany 🇩🇪 or Denmark 🇩🇰 or even USA 🇺🇸? Or if at all Nigeria so I can get a lecturer job too? I really have passion for teaching high level student like the ones found in UNIBEN.
If you have Old Nepa Bill you can also tender it at Nnsuka for PhD in Elect elect

Wait, is this really possible or you’re just whining me? NEPA bill? Tbh I have some nepa bill at home. Do people that use NEPA bill to enter pay more in school fee because they don’t have BSc or MSc?
