But some might be like, why should that interest us? The thing is, the importance of postgraduate qualifications is seriously underestimated, especially in our part of the world.

To discern the importance of such qualifications, let’s ask ourselves,

What are Postgraduate Studies?

As the term implies, Postgraduate Studies refer to academic programs which are taken after Undergraduate Studies. They are taken for a number of different reasons, such as to move into academia and research, to specialize in a career path or change tracks entirely. Such studies include Master’s Degrees, Postgraduate Diplomas, Postgraduate Certificates and Doctorate Degrees. It should be noted that these programs vary in duration, content and requirements.

Benefits of going for Postgraduate Studies:

  • Skills Acquisition
  • Increased chance of Employability
  • Specialization
  • Rising above Competition
  • Networking Opportunities
  • Entrepreneurship Prospects

From the above, it can be inferred that having a postgraduate certification in addition to a first degree gives ways to greater prospects as a consequence of additional specialization. In Bayero University, Kano, applicants have a wide range of programs to choose from. Check out available Bayero University Faculties and courses
