Whatever your plan is, always remember the world is run by people who didn't go to school.

Don't lose your self-esteem. A friend of mine who had 3rd class back in school now employs some of his classmates who had 1.1, 2.1, and 2.2 in his group of companies
Please, which one is 1.1?

After spending good 4-5years in university and came out with 3rd class (certificate of attendance) you still wan do masters. Masters of what? Masters of failure maybe.

Mbok school or education is not for everybody. Just go and learn trade or mechanic

THE day you Register a Company, Employ people and Pay them ( Besides I have started paying minimum wage to non professional staffs), Pay Company Taxes ETC then you can talk to me...

You digress. Stay with me bro. On the topic!! Graduating with a bad result has no bearing on your ability to succeed or fail in life, also the result stated on your certificate is a poor metric for recruiting staff, especially in a country like Nigeria. That's my stand on the topic of discuss. We aren't discussing difficulties in running a business here.

Hi, I finished with a Third Class degree in a Federal university and my question is, can I do masters or other higher qualifications....

Just repeat the first degree. Go seek admission via direct entry. Even with master's degree and pgd, the effects of a poor degree can still bite u in d ass. Better still, acquire a marketable skill, solve problems and watch urself become a star. Bon chance.

Lead city university collects 3rd class for Masters. Go there yourself so that nobody will discourage you.

My brother, it has o. But one can find his way out with a logical thinking. A lot of people don't have a business mindset.

What about HND...can I get direct entry for msc with my HND??


My understanding of most schools in Nigeria is that with H D qualification, you must score an upper credit in a PGD before going to a Masters.

What's your diacipline

See dis one .....if you have 2.8/5 thats 2.2 .
2.2 starts from 2.50-3.49 on a 5-point gradescale. You may be admitted for a M.SC if u have a 2-2 (strong one).
Op, the only way you can do a Masters is if you do a PGD first. After your PGD, go for masters immediately.

Mine's a 4-point GS and 2.2 starts at 2.80 Weird? Yep.

Oooops:
OP, pls take this from someone that has done a PGD before. Don't waste your time and money.
PGD is a waste of time.
I'll tell u why:
First they tell you it 18months. Trust me u will spend much longer. It can get up to three years. Universities don't pay attention to PGD students hence na anytime dey like dem dey attend to them. I spent close to three years for PGD at Unizik. Still even waiting for the result since 2014.

Secondly, you spend a while lot of money. You may think you'll pay ur fees maybe once or twice, trust me it can get up to thrice, d fees don't stop from one story to another.

Thirdly even if you do 4 PGD's the first point of call when applying for anything is your first degree. When it doesn't meet their 1.1 or 2.1 your PGD doesn't matter. PGD doesn't cover your first degree by anymeans. Only few firms or properly lecturing MAY give u audience.

My Advice
Apply for a D.E start from 300level and get a good first degree.
Or Go do professional courses, well known ones. The ACA, the ICAN, belong to a professional body, etc.
how can some1 that has graduated still apply for DE.Is it really possible?

Wrong! "@only" UNILAG admits 3rd class in some selected masters programmed like MILR (master in industrial and Labour relations), psychology, MILD, MELS and some few other courses without Pgd only if u can pass the entrance exam.

Na professional masters be d@ and besides you must have some work experience.
Re: Finished With A Third Class Degree, Can I Do Masters? by sircrabo: 2:18pm On Mar 16, 2019
@Op, go nd learn an ICT skill if you can't do masters. In our field, it's your skills that matters most before your degree. I have friends that teach in NIIT and New Horizon that graduated with 3rd. just pick one aspect of I.T and be very good at it. Nobody really gives a hoot what you graduated with in the I.T sector. Firms, multinationals, I.T companies, Startups will rush you. For instance, Full stack web development with concentration in Javscript (Node, react), Php or Python.

You can learn graphics design very well, this one will pay you very well on platforms like Fiverr, if you ever find your way out of this country, the skills will make a way for you

You can also learn I.T businesses i.e Forex, importation, dropshipping e.t.c

Why do people always think that 3rd class graduates are academically dull. Let me tell u a story, During my undergraduates days 1 of the best guys in my class did graduate with a 3rd. Dude was good practically, bt couldn't cope with the academics reason being that he was not a good crammer. And sure u know if you ain't a good crammer nothing for u in Nigeria uni's. To cut the long story short dude is now in Canada working with a multinational. PS this guy helped most of us with our project back then.
Dont mind that fvcktard!! Let him go to Unilag engine and see gurus wey no send grades again. I v a friend who took first position from primary 1 to ss3 and with best ssce in a federal gov college but in Elect elect the guy go just get 4 As and 4 Fs.. u go just wonder. Reason y if you v 3rd class from such good uni,u can come back for ur Msc straight
