SUNDRY QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ON COURSES OF STUDY (V)
Hi Jarus
I finished from a private school in Lagos state Nigeria as a science student. I wrote WAEC and passed in one sitting. I wrote UTME and thereafter post-UTME in a school which I didn’t choose as first choice and the course I applied for was Computer Engineering. I was not given computer engineering, but I am now admitted to study Chemistry education. I will love to hear some professional advices on what my next step should look like? I want to know the future of Chemistry Education.

Dear Toye,
Hi Jarus,Pharmacy was my dream course, I applied to UNIBEN but I didn’t make the cut-off point, so I chose SLT (Science Laboratory Technology) in a polytechnic but I was given computer science. The following year, I chose pharmacy in UNILORIN and but I was given Agricultural Science.Please what is your advice? I really love pharmacy, should I go and start finish Computer Science or just take Agric or write UME again?Ben
Hi Jarus,Please between B.sc Economics or Ecostats (Economics & statistics), and Accounting which is better?Ken
Hi Jarus,Please sir, I really need your help. I had credit in all the Arts subjects I wrote in my SSCE. I wanted to read Law but my parent don’t want me to. I’m confused which course to choose again. They wanted me to read Agric, but it’s not possible with my subjects. Please I need you to list courses, best universities, subjects combination, I can do with this result:English – B2
Math – C5
Biology – B2
Economics – A1
Agric – B2
Government – B2
C.R.K – B3
Literature-In-English -C6
Chemistry – C6 (I used it to replace language).Please Jarus I need real help. I want to buy 2016 jamb form but I’m confused. (crying)Austin
Hi Austin,
Can you try and convince your parent more to let you study Law, which is your desired course?
Do you have any other course on your mind? Without Physics, I don’t think you can study engineering, but you should be able to study Agric Economics. That is if you must study Agric. If you don’t want Agric, what are the other courses you like apart from Law? There are thousands of courses, so I can’t pick one from the air, except you narrow down your courses of interest.
That said, you had A1 in economics, can you consider studying Economics? It’s a very good course. I als0 studied economics.
As for universities to recommend, I normally prefer first generation universities (UI, OAU, UNILAG, UNN, ABU & UNIBEN), then second generation ones like UNILORIN, BUK, FUTs, UNIPORT etc. Any of these is OK.
I wish you all the best.

Jameel,
Check JAMB brochure for the subject combination you will be required to write to study political sceince or sociology. But I think English, Mathematics, Government and Economics are the subjects.

hi jarus,
my name is john,a banking and finance just admitted student at Nnamdi azikiwe university,awka.
please jarus,my dream has always bin to be in a financial sector or working for any financial industry in the nearest future,that is more reason why i chose this course(banking and finance).
please i want to know if i made a right choice by choosing this course and also if my university is one of the employer’s eye target university in nigeria,perhaps i didn’t go for the right course and school i still need you to enlighten me on where banking and finance grad can work except comercial banks and the position they are required,thanks.
Nnamdi Azikwe University is not a bad school. Banking & Finance is also OK. Just make sure you make a 2.1 at least.
A 2.1 graduate of Banking & Finance can also work in professional services firms (like PwC, KPMG, Ernst & Young, Deloitte etc) and consulting firms (like Accenture, Phillips Consulting etc).
Jarus
thanks very much..as for the 2.1 i am a very studious type,am not aiming for 2.1 am striving for 1st class in my department and am very sure i’ll get the fit.
there is another thing i want to ask;which is”can you recommend any internship i can enrol for my course”?.if yes,your guide and advise can go along way.am really really interested in internship to enable me have a little experience about my field prior to graduation
thank you very much jarus.as for the 2.1 i am always a studious and descipline type.i am not aiming 2.1 but what am aiming is 1st class in my department which am sure of my confident..but can a banking and finance graduate with 1st class work in an oil company?
there is another thing am interested about,which is”if there is any internship that you can recommend for my discipline”if yes,your guide and advise can go a long way for i am so much interested to intern to enable me have a little experience in my field prior to graduation…thanks
” can a banking and finance graduate with 1st class work in an oil company?” – Answer is yes, especially if writes and passes professional exam like ICAN.
On internship, I can’t recommend any now, you can always go to companies during your vacation and apply for internship.

Hi Jarus,
I’ve been offered admission to study Electrical engineering@UI bt I’m currently running ND program(Electrical engineering) in d Polytechnic which I will be through with next year. The problem is I don’t know if I should run the two together or just drop the Poly program. The two schools are very close to each other just #50 bike. Attendance is important in both schools.
I’m in need of your advice because both schools resume early next year,thanks in anticipation.
Run the two. Your ND may be handy one day.
