I Want To Become A Lecturer, How Can I Develop My Career. by kwaifa23(op): 11:13pm On May 25, 2015

I have a degree in accounting and I want to build my career in Computer Science /information technology as a lecturer.
My question is must I study PGD in Education to become a lecturer. or no need I can just go for my PGD in Computer Science then later Masters in Information Technology.

Is PGD in Education or Masters in Education important for my lecturing career.

You do not require a PGD or Masters in Education to become a lecturer/academic. Go ahead with your Master's programme and the your PhD. Remember you need to publish in top notch journals to be counted in your chosen career.

You need PGD in Education to teach in any Nigerian universities or colleges.

Check the advert placement for recruitment into any Tertiary Institution on Nigeria. None requires any degree in Education. It is only a position in the Faculty of Education that requires such a degree.

Please I want some clarifications on a particular issue. I have a degree in Physics and mathematics education. Is it possible for me to apply for MSc computer science without doing a PGD in Computer science?? Please I need you to respond so as for me to apply for the programme. Thanks in advance.

Bros the early the better go for your PGD in Education no any institution of learning will employ you to lecture without a background in education. All those that didn't study educational course most past through PGD in education.

This is not true. Most university lecturers I know do not have PGD.

Leave that young man alone. Knowledge is power, many universities in Nigeria are currently recruiting and not one of the academic positions require any PGD in Education. A PGD in Education is required for someone interested in Secondary School teaching. A university is a research/academic environment and the PGD in Education adds little or no extra value.

Sorry if I may ask must I publish in top notch journals before I qualify to be a lecturer?

The supreme mantra of academia is "Publish or nothing". Although in Nigeria, many lectures/professors have not publications in top ranked journals. They still publish.
