₦airaland Forum

Hello my fellow Nairalanders, I have a very important topic to share with you. I am a graduate of Environmental Biology, from the most Prestigious University in the whole of North-East. (University Of Maiduguri). I graduated with a Second Class Upper Division, 2:1. I recently completed my NYSC Batch B 2014.


I want to go into the academic line, I have a very high chance of securing a job this year with one of the Federal Universities in the North. I am currently processing my admission for my M.Sc. The problem is, should I go for my M.Sc straight, then after the Msc I should look for the job or should I get the job first, then after working with them for two good years, collect a study leave and go for my M.Sc? I heard your salary will be coming in even on the study leave.

Matured advises please.
Thank you in advance.

"Leave with pay is a bond " means you sign a legal document with the Uni. Admin that u'll serve a minimum
No of yrs serving wt them after your M.sc programme
(Usually 5-7 yrs depending on school).

This may put you at a disadvantage cos wen u're done with your programme, u might find a juicier package (job abroad, etc) esp. If your certificate is "correct" and then you'll have to encumber yourself in legal wrangles wt d school admin.

But if you go without pay (which might b best if u don't really depend on d money), the university recognises you as their staff (means you can always resume whenever u finish and are ready)
but shd you find better conditions elsewhere (which I wld normally pray you do) there'll be no problem in you taking it up.

That's my understanding of it but read on for further enlightenment

Congratulations though....
