There are over a hundred courses available in Nigerian Federal, State, and Private universities. The eligibility to get admission to study any of these courses depends on your O’level results and JAMB score.
Studying at the university allows you to get a Bachelor’s degree certificate with which you can get employment after graduation or study abroad.
Every university in Nigeria has the courses they offer with different study duration. For example, Engineering courses are five (5) year study programs for undergraduate students.
In the university, faculty comprises different departments. A Dean is the head of a Faculty and Departments by a Head of Department.
Admission for the various courses is highly competitive due to the high number of applicants applying to study at the university.
You must get all the necessary information about the admission processes and requirements for the course you want.
This post is about the list of available courses in Nigeria’s Federal, State, and Private universities. I have also included the study duration and requirements for the different programs at the university.
Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further guidance. I would love to hear from you.
