Aside from the fact that getting University qualification in Nigeria is a big task, the qualification itself is hardly recognized internationally and sometimes even discriminated against by Nigeria companies.
If you want qualification that is internationally recognize at an afford rate, then I will recommend North Cyprus universities. The universities are well ranked, in the first 200 universities, affordable and flexible and the medium of communication for the programs is English.
S.S.C.E, N.E.C.O, G.C.E, A-Levels
The hassle of having to write UTME or TOFEL of SAT to gain admission into the undergraduate level isn’t there. Once you have 5 credits, (English is a most for all) you are granted admission. You can complete your program in 3 years, if you take summer classes or 4 years if you don’t want to. If you don’t have English, you can still gain admission upon completing the English preparatory school for a year.
DIPLOMA HOLDERS (Universities Diploma, OND, HND)
With your diploma, good results, you can claim exemptions from some course and just be left with 2 years – 3.5 years more to stay for your undergraduate. With your advance diploma, HND, you can claim more exemptions and just have 1 year- 1.5 years to stay for your undergraduate. I will personally ensure it and push it through.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
You can also transfer from your current universities to North Cyprus universities, the courses you had taken and passed will be exempted for you. This depends on the numbers of courses and semesters that you have left.
Bsc HOLDERS
With your Bsc. Qualification, third class holders also, you be admitted directly into the masters program, once you submit the necessary requirements, without having to do GMAT or GRE.
There are currently six (6) universities in North Cyprus,
Easter Mediterranean University (EMU) - www.emu.edu.tr
Cyprus International University (CIU) – www.ciu.edu.tr
Girne American University (GAU) – www.gau.edu.tr
Near East University (NEU) – www.neu.edu.tr
European University of Lefke (EUL) - www.eul.edu.tr
Middle East Technical University (METU) – www.metu.edu.tr
Am currently studying in EMU and also an official representative of both EMU and CIU but I would recommend EMU.
They are all good universities but EMU surpassed them all in all ramification; widely recognized, well ranked (158th in the world according to EDUROUTE university ranking), cheaper school fees, good facilities, friendly environment, Medical insurance provided by the school & Government of North Cyprus, no application fees and lots more. EMU Students also have the opportunity of staying a semester in one of the partner universities in US, Canada, Germany, Austria, China etc. EMU has EXCHANGE COLLABORATIONS with 112 universities in the world (Kindly read more on the schools website.). We have lecturers from different standard universities coming for either 1 or 2 semester (I have a prof. from Harvard this semester).
There are varieties of program that are been offered by the universities. (Go through the schools site)
You can always transfer your credits to any other University in Europe or America.
The thing is CIU is located in the city, Lefkosa while EMU is located in, Famagusta, the out skirt of the country (Just like LASU and IFE) the difference is clear.
Admission intake are twice in a year, February intake (Spring Semester) and September intake (Fall semester). Only GAU offers June intake (Summer Semester).
