Have you been weighing your options whether to do a master’s degree? Do you have a second class lower bachelor’s degree and feel all hope is lost for a masters?
Whatever you heard about the requirement to do a master’s degree, this post seek to set the record straight.
During undergraduate days, there’s usually lots of noise about the requirement for masters. That’s where it starts.
There and then, many students conclude that a second class upper degree is needed for masters. So you lost hope since then, because somehow, you finished with a second class lower (known as 2:2). Perhaps through no fault of yours.
Well, there’s hope for you.
My job is today is a simple one – to show you the universities in Nigeria accepting second class lower (2:2) for master’s degree.
But first, you should know that there are two kinds of masters: Academic Masters degree and Professional Masters degree.
The universities in this list accept a minimum of second class lower for their masters degree programmes.
By the way, I highly recommend you check out my recent post on Why you should study for a postgraduate degree by 2022. It may open your eyes to see why a masters may be just what you need.
Which universities can I enter for masters with a 2:2 in 2022/2023?
Below are universities for masters degree with second class lower in Nigeria.
1. Delta State University Abraka
2. Federal University Otuoke
3. Osun State Unniversity, Osogbo
There we go. Now you know all hope is not lost, especially after seeing the schools where you can do your masters with second class lower.
Meanwhile, this page is regularly updated as I research the admission requirement into masters degree programmes of universities. So don’t be surprised if you check back on this page tomorrow and find more schools.
I do this research for you. And its my hope you take your career to the next level. And if a masters in your field will bring that closer, why not?
What’s the duration of masters programme in Nigeria?
The standard duration of masters degree programme at most universities is three (3) semesters. However, you already know that due to ageing bureaucratic processes in some Nigerian universities, it might extend to two years.
Depending on the university you decide to do your masters, you could finish it in the 3 semesters (1 year and three months). That is, all your masters course work and research thesis will be completed within that time.
So you should make findings about the length of masters degree in your desired university. Because some universities run masters degree for 3 years minimum.
I won’t be able to recommend any university for you to do your masters. That’s your exclusive preserve. Though you may leave a comment below the post if you need an advice.
