HND to BSC/Top-Up Degree (28+ Universities in Nigeria/Abroad)

LOCAL AND FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES WITH TOP-UP DEGREE PROGRAMMES AND REASONS TO TAKE THE COURSE

It can be disheartening to find out that after spending about 5 years in a polytechnic for your ND and HND program, you’re still NOT given the same, if not better recognition, as your university counterparts. Some people were done with their HND and later sidelined by the labor market for university graduates.

Imagine how worse it becomes to find out later that only university graduates are even recognized, by law, to lecture at the polytechnics where you’ve been trained. An HND holder can lecture in a higher institution only if he has additional qualifications like PGD and/or MSC. Whereas, a Bsc holder can be offered a graduate lecturer position on convocation.

Now, thousands of HND holders are seeking ways to upgrade themselves to the status of their university counterparts without necessarily returning to a university and starting all over from the 100 level.

This is possible!

I gave more recommendations in my post, "HND vs Degree in Nigeria: 4 Ways Out for HND Holders"

You can end up possessing a degree certificate if you take any of the two routes below.

  1. Direct Entry Admission
  2. BSC (Degree) Top-up program or HND to Bsc Conversion Course

Direct Entry Admission

In the case of Direct Entry admission, you obtain JAMB direct entry form and select your intended university. You can be given admission to the 200 or 300 level of your desired course – depending on the policies of the universities in question.

See also: 16 University Education Courses You Can Do with HND.

The main purpose of this piece is to introduce you to Bsc (Degree) Top-up program or HND to Bsc Conversion Course.

What is a BSC (Degree) Top-up Program or HND to BSC Conversion Course?

This post answers a series of questions and guides you on how to go about this shortcut to converting your Higher National Diploma (HND) to Bachelor of Science (BSC).

This is usually a year or two of academic programs designed by some universities to upgrade HND holders to BSC.

The academic program is usually a two-semester course that will drill candidates in line with their previously held certificates. In other words, such a course, usually, will be in line with or the same as your former course.

After completing this course, you now have two qualifications: your former HND certificate (under the previous polytechnic) and the new BSc certificate under the name of the new university.

Categories of Graduates that May Consider Top-Up Degree

The HND to Bsc Conversion program has been designed to help HND graduates upgrade their certificates to BSC.  Generally, any HND holder should consider the course. Most importantly, it will be very ideal for the class of graduates below:

  1. HND holders with lower credit or pass (all concerned universities accepting lower grades)
  2. Graduates (BSC/HND) who want to change to another related or different course.
  3. Graduates of polytechnics are not trained to be teachers. They can use this program to change to an education line.
  4. University graduates (BSC) with a third (3rd) class or pass can consider the course to chase a better grade.

Nigeria: Top Up Degree or HND to BSc Conversion Program

In Nigeria, the HND – Bsc dichotomy is not new. Even when the government is trying to level both qualifications up, private establishments may not change the game in the next few decades.

This is why every HND holder who aims to use his education to get a job should consider this opportunity.

Whereas, several reputable universities are already running HND to BSc or degree conversion courses.

The universities in Nigeria running top-up degrees include:

  1. Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso
  2. Kwara State University, Ilorin Kwara State (KWASU)
  3. Bells University Abeokuta, Ogun State
  4. Alhikmah University Ilorin, Kwara State
  5. Southwestern University Nigeria Oshodi-Isolo, Ikeja
  6. Federal University of Oye Ekiti (FUOYE)
  7. Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State (EKSU)
  8. Delta State University Abraka, Delta State (DELSU)
  9. Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, Oyo State
  10. Babcock University, Ilisha-Remo Ogun State
  11. Lagos State University, Ojo Lagos (LASU)
  12. Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni Port Harcourt, Rivers State
  13. Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, Ogun State (Degree Programme)
  14. Federal Polytechnic Ado, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State (Degree Programme)
  15. The Polytechnic Ibadan, Oyo State (Degree Programme)
  16. Best Solution Polytechnic Akure, Ondo State (Degree Programme)
  17. Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State (Degree Programme)
  18. Osun State Polytechnic Ire, Osun State (Degree Programme)
  19. Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu, Lagos (Degree Programme)
  20. University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) (Degree Programme)

Answers to Some Questions on Top-Up Degree

Will it reflect on the certificate that I did a top-up degree instead of a regular degree? Usually No. Schools here are not known for indicating such.

Will I be allowed to go to NYSC after my top-up degree? No, not likely. Policies may change with time. But right now, no such arrangements between NYSC and the schools.

How much does it cost to run a top-up degree? No specific price for the program. In other words, the different school has its price and arrangement. However, experience has shown that the fee is usually affordable and friendly. Students usually enjoy flexible payment plans too. To know the cost, contact the school of interest.

Can I be working when running a top-up degree? Yes, you can. The program is usually on a part-time basis (weekends) and for a period of one, two, or three years. However, where a school runs it for a year, it's going to be tedious academic arrangements that may not be encouraging for the working students.

      I will advise you go for top-up degree. PGD is just a an advanced diploma and the basis; which is your weak Bsc point matters, in fact most.

      Going for a top-up degree will help you to make up for the deficiency (if you won't fumble again). It will stand as your basis for further education henceforth.

    1. As matter of fact, I'm not an advocate of certain courses. But obviously I love telling people to get the best grades. In the long run, it's your grade that matters if you need a lucrative career in Nigeria. The competition is tense and those organizations want the best of the best.

      Therefore, it doesn't matter what course you choose - go for the one you know you can perform very well at such that you can give yourself FIRST CLASS. Then, let fate take charge of the rest.

What advice can you give me.

    1. Thanks for the complement.

      Either for universities at home or abroad, admission policies deffer. Hence, if you target a foreign university especially, kindly contact the university before anything. They will be pleased to give you their terms. And mind you, whatever you get will not be the same among the universities. Try several if possible.

      As for the certificate, a few documents I'd seen with people showed that those universities awarded the certificates without making a specific reference to the nature of the programme. However, this is not a general rule. Some may choose to indicate you run Top-up degree in your certificate, however.

      In all, if you aim at any local institution, consider being with the admission officer and ask as many questions before anything. They're waiting for you and your inquiries.

    1. Some universities are open about the need for applicants to present NYSC certificates while some don't. Click the links to each university's details. I want to believe those that don't are likely to waive that. However, in the place of NYSC discharge certificate, a part-time graduate should be in possession of an NYSC exclusion letter. This is an equivalence of the discharged certificate.

    I'm in hnd 2 of F.P, ede, studying computer science. I'm currently on upper credit and I'm interested in getting a degree too.

    So i want to know, which one is more preferable, Direct Entry after HND or conversion to degree?

    Then, after obtain these certificates, what other certificates can i go for i.e masters, PGD etc???

    Lastly, i mainly need the degree for programming and opportunity might arrive for me to work outside Nigeria, is the conversion or Direct Entry recognized outside of this country?

    Hope you answer, my questions respectively. Thank you in advance sir. Gos bless you.
