Degree Programs

Bachelor’s Degree
This is a qualification open only to mature adults not less than 30 years old who have previously undertaken a two-to-three-year diploma course in a Polytechnic or University. Experienced managers with considerable in-service training may also be accepted. The duration of the programme is 24 to 48 months depending on the student’s background. Transfer candidates from other degree programmes or candidates already holding full professional qualifications in related disciplines are similarly welcome. Candidates who hold degree-level qualifications such as chartered accountants, chartered bankers, HND, etc, but who still wish to acquire a bachelor’s degree in their discipline may be granted credit for each unit of the degree course previously covered in their professional examinations. The candidate is then required to study the remaining course units for the degree and any new optional courses he or she wishes to offer. The candidate then prepares a dissertation project to demonstrate competence in research methodology and report writing skills. Candidates in this category may take considerably less time to complete the programme.

Master’s Degree
This program is for a duration of 15 to 36 months depending on the background of the student. Admission is open to persons holding a bachelor’s degree or HND or a professional qualification acceptable to the Admissions Committee.

Concurrent Registration
Candidates may be permitted to enroll concurrently for the Bachelor and Master, or for the Master and Doctorate if, in the opinion of the Admissions Committee, such enrolment will serve the needs of candidates and their sponsors. Candidates will be required to complete the work on the lower degree before crossing over to the next higher degree. While this may be done, the university ensures that, at all times, the course work requirements and the standard of the degree are not to be compromised.
