Dottore:
The difference is that NOUN is the name of a person, Animal, place or thing. In other words it's a "name" of a quick certificate for already employed people who got employed with a lesser qualification but wants to advance in career for better earnings and positions.

Other Universities are verbs. They are the functional certificates you can use as a fresh employee to get employment.

In practice no employer takes fresh employees with Noun certificates serious.

This one weak me

See, if you're not comfortable about it, face another school. Make your own choice and be sure you can follow through.

I'm planning going into the military as a graduate and I'm looking at acquiring that degree at NOUN.

Do you have any idea if the military discriminates certificates?

Why should they? Is not the same government that owns both the military and the university? Abeg, I know soldiers doing NOUN degrees.

As a matter of fact, there are NOUN special centers for military forces, go and find out.

One is fake (noun) the other is original
LOL! Can you differentiate between fake and original. An NUC accredited University Degree is fake? Something must be fundamentally wrong with your brain. NOUN is created for a purpose, and if you don't understand the purpose kindly back off.

Any Federal University will admit you if you meet their requirements. One of us in NOUN did his First degree programme on Education and graduated with 2.2, today he is convinently running his Masters Degree in Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife. I wish you the best sir.

Thank you.

Since you seem to be informed about certificate stuffs, I think u should know this.

I'm an ex-Seminarian of the Catholic Church. Consequently, I have a bachelor of philosophy ( B. Phil) from Urbaniana University of Rome through affiliation with my seminary which is Bigard memorial seminary Enugu.

My seminary is also affiliated to University of Ibadan which gives us Nigerian certificate but during my set, the seminary lost the Ibadan affiliation after NUC visited the school. We were then left with just that foreign certificate.

The problem now is that the certificate is not recognized by NUC which makes it impossible for us to participate in NYSC.

So I wanna know, is that certificate Now totally useless or is there anyway it can still be useful to me. Can I use it for masters in the US or elsewhere. What do you know?

It can't be useless, that's such an understatement. Sincerely, NYSC is overrated in Nigeria. The way people attach importance to it shows how boxed-in people's mindsets are. You have to think outside the box.

If you so much require NYSC validation, you can get an exclusion certificate from NYSC, it is the same certificate given to those who studied based on distance learning, anywhere in the world. Try to visit NYSC or write them. It should be possible.

About applying to the US or any other university, all you need is to apply first. As long as the school in Rome can validate your degree, it shouldn't be a big deal. Just don't make any reference to any Nigerian university in the application since it's a foreign qualification. Please get the stress off your mind and start using what you have...

Thank you very much. Guess I might just have to go for a criminology degree at NOUN as well.

Got a first degree in philosophy from a Roman university but because NUC does not recognize the university, I can't participate in NYSC which a kinda renders the certificate useless.

It's so frustrating.

I'm sincerely not attaching any too much importance to NYSC but it seems every institution with opening for vacancy would always demand NYSC cert or exemption as part of its requirements.

Now, a fellow visited the NYSC headquarters in Abuja and he told me NYSC said he cannot be issued exemption unless he supplies Visa, prove of tuition payment and all; which we do not have since we studied in a Nigerian school which is but in affiliation with the Roman institution.

Long story short is that we can neither participate in the scheme nor get an exemption which all but puts a big question mark on the cert.

It's so frustrating. Especially when I consider that I have to go through another four years of school again, if I must do anything related to certificate in the Nigerian system.

Now, permit me to clear the air on the bolded.

There are 3 different certificates issued by NYSC:
1. Crtificate of participation: for those who did full time and were under 30 when they graduated and served.
2. Exemption certificate: for those who were over 30 years when they graduated or those who studied part time.
3. EXCLUSION CERTIFICATE: for those who studied via open and distance learning from any institution.

The 3rd one is what I asked you to seek. Not exemption. They do not require a visa for a distance learning course taken with any university, since you're not claiming to have been in the country.

Don't rely on half information from anyone. Go to them with these facts or send an email wait to hear/see their response.

I don try for you... Good luck. wink
