Searching for a list of UNICAL courses?
You desire a comprehensive list of all courses offered at University of Calabar. This blog have your answers.
It’s very important to know if a university offers your desired course before you start making plans to apply. It’s even more important to know if the course has been accredited.
There is no overstating the importance of studying a course accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
Moreover, its no longer news that UNICAL has asked all Engineering and Pharmacy students to seek admission elsewhere as their courses don’t have accreditation from National Universities Commission (NUC).
Some students in those departments had reached 400 level when this happened. You need no further advice why you shouldn’t study a course not accredited by NUC.
By the way, we recently wrote a blog showing you how to start life as fresh graduate in Nigeria. This more than anything else, might be a resource you need to get started.
As an aspirant some years back, I made a diligent search for accredited courses in UNICAL. There were online resource for unical courses, yes, but most are outdated.
I decided to make this list more comprehensive by including all the courses both accredited and non-accredited currently available at the University of Calabar.
Besides, not all universities offer the same courses.
The great part is that UNICAL has plenty of courses to chose from. Those courses are all on this blog.
Before we get started, let me give you a heads up. The University of Calabar is a prestigious institution established in 1975. Currently, the university is home to over 40,000 students.
