Lai Muhammed.even undergraduate fees is more than that. MSC fees for sciences is 135k and 92k for arts
ekestic1976:
University of Maiduguri can take you straight to the doctorate level with that kind of result and their fees are comparably low. For example, a 2-year Master course is only N25,000. Asking fees for Ph.D in any course for the whole length of study is not more than N75,000, including all handouts, feeding and hostel accommodation. They're really having it cool in Maiduguri.

Kid, you and that ekestic1976 should stop shaming yourself.. the university of maiduguri used to be one of the best in the country and even competing with ABU in the North if not for the security problems they've been having for decades.

Unimaid one of the best or what, make I laugh in Portuguese grin grin.. Now see

I have all I need about pgd ,,here if u would also like to know ,,,

One commonly used acronym relating to postgraduate study is PGD. It simply means Postgraduate Diploma. Hopefully, you are used to M.phil, M.B.A and few others.

Postgraduate diploma (PGD) is an advanced certificate, awarded by the school of postgraduate studies of the respective University (in Nigeria). A PGD is not a degree per se. Then comes the question…..


WHY PGD ANYWAY? A PGD serves more as a entry qualification for a Masters degree programme. While having a Bachelor degrees would suffice for postgraduate admission, certain situations warrant the need for a PGD.

Majorly, a PGD is needed when seeking Masters admission to a specialization that your is outside the scope of the Bachelors degree. This means, it is possible to switch course of study or career paths, without restarting a new four/five years Bachelors degree.

No matter your new fancy or interest. PGD makes the switch possible and maybe faster. Note didn’t say easier. Case in point, bachelors graduate of chemistry, can do a Masters in Chemical Engineering after a postgraduate diploma PGD in Chemical Engineering.

In addition, a PGD is needed if there was a poor or below standard academic performance. In this case, PGD is needed to prove that the certain prerequisite grade.

Its is also needed to show that the student can meet the intellectual demands of doing the Masters degree of the course of study, and the poor performance at previous Bachelors degrees was probably due to exigencies. Doing a PGD, serves as a foundation programme in this respect. Many Universities outside Nigeria called PGD, Foundation Masters or Pre-Masters. They all serve the same purpose.

In Nigeria in particular, PGD is required for HND (Higher National Diploma) graduate by some University before proceeding for a Masters programme.


WHAT TYPE OF PGD SHOULD YOU STUDY FOR? The are PGD programmes in virtually every course of study. But the most popular seems to be the postgraduate diploma in education (PGDE). This is necessary for all who desire to be teachers at any level (primary – university) but did not study education. There are also PGD in Journalism, PGD in Engineering, PGD in some medical fields and PGD Business Administration, Marketing, Finance, Economics etc.


HOW LONG FOR A PGD? Duration for a PGD programme depends on specific schools. It ranges from a year to two. The shortest time would not be less than 9 months. The duration for a PGD is also dependent types of study, full time, part time, sandwish or distance learning. Do note the unlike M.Phil. PGD is a terminal programme, except in rare cases. Admission for a Masters degree is not automatic, and this prospective student needs to apply formally.

Whatever your choices are, sure you are better informed about what PGD is all about.
This is really useful.

although, there was a time some universities were shouting 3.0 CGPA up and down but that has since cooled down.
You should have included your course of study so that we can better inform you.

you can do Masters in OAU with that anyways......but competitive course of study can limit your chances

Re: Can I Do Masters In Nigeria With Second Class Lower? by NigPatriot(m): 9:07am On Jan 23, 2020
Your deductions are really wrong. First of all Unilag accepts 2.2 for master's. Secondly admission Into master's isn't based on availability of supervisors. I guess you're juxtaposing PhD for master's.

I have first hand experience I did my master's at Unilag and had classmates with 2.2 (not even so called strong ones). Unilag organises an aptitude exam which screens whose taken in or not for master's program. Your CGPA also adds up points for you.

AlphaStorm:


Op you can but bear in mind that most Federal Universities that accept 2.2 , accept strong 2.2 (3.0 CGPA and above). Most State universities do not place any requirements on CGPA but grade. U can try some state UNIs but am sure schools like UNILAG only accept 2.1 . OAU, UNILORIN,UI,UNN, andABU accepts 2.2 (typically 3.0 and above. U can try ur luck though). Admissions into PG programmes is usually based on availability of supervisors.

As long as your CGPA is 3.0+you can proceed to MSc without going through Post graduate program.. but when it's below that, that's why you go through pg, then if you pass out fine, you enrol into masters.
