How Can I Start A Career In Academics? by DrTims(op): 12:59pm On Aug 03, 2018

Get your MSc first, then apply for lecturer 2.
The rest will fall in place once you are in the system

You are good to go. Watch out for any university or polytechnic adverts on employing more lecturers. Or rather, apply to your department in case they needed more staffs for accreditation purposes or the likes

You can start a PhD program. In some universities you need to be enrolled into a PhD program before you can get a teaching position.

You can go have a chat with the HOD, Dean, VC of any university you want to work.

All the best

With msc u can only apply for an assistant lecturership position n evidence of/progress in your PhD studies will enhance your chances of getting a job.

Attend conferences in your field and present papers

Publish your msc research in Journals with impact factor esp Thomson Reuters
