[@OnyebuchiUgwu-p4l]

Thanks a lot Sir for this Video ❤️‍🔥

[@Studentship]

You're welcome. Let me know if you have further questions.

[@OnyebuchiUgwu-p4l]

Sir i am currently in 100lvl lasu And i still plan on changing my course for computer education to computer science and i have already paid school fees and other fees Is it still advisable to write jamb again while currently in school

[@Studentship]

@ Yes, I strongly advise you sit for another JAMB. It is the easiest method to change to Computer Science. There is no guarantee with change of course if you don't have the connection.

[@AmosOluwaseyiOyawale]

Thanks for the insight, sir. The possibility of Transfer from one school to another would be appreciated if discussed.

[@Studentship]

Yes, I plan to do a video on that soon. Stay tuned!

[@GinafaySunday]

Actually, I'm yet to start school 🏫 in uniuyo, I want to study nursing, but I'm given being given micro biology pls what do I do And what's the probability of transferring without writing jamb again… Thanks

[@Studentship]

Hello Sunday, The possibility of transferring to Nursing Science is 50:50. Sitting for another JAMB exam and scoring above the cut off mark for Nursing will increase your chances.

[@EmmanuelGordian-df3wo]

Sir, is it possible to change from geology to marine engineering, although i applied for geology first and was given admission is that still reversible.

[@Studentship]

Yes, Emmanuel It is possible has both courses are kinda related. The success of this process would depend on the system in your school. Let me know if you have further questions.

[@ChikelubaEsther]

Good evening sir So currently I’m studying a course I don’t really have interest in but I couldn’t switch in my 100 level and 200 level as well So can I still be in final year which is 400 level and sit for another jamb?

[@Studentship]

Hello, Esther, It is nice to hear from you. I hope studies are going well. Since you're in the 400 level, you should complete your studies. Then, you can sit for another JAMB or gain admission through direct entry if your preferred course is related to the one you're studying. Let me know if you have further questions.

[@Giftgoody]

Sir, pls is it till advisable to do jamb when already in yrs 3

[@Studentship]

Hello Gift, Well, it depends on you. Sitting for another JAMB while in year 3 is going to be difficult because of the tedious course work you're going to be handling. But, if you feel you'd fine fulfilment in another course, then you can give it a try. You'd need to engage in aggressive time management to assign time for your studies and JAMB preparation. Another alternative may be you finish graduate, then apply for direct entry to your preferred course of study. Let me know if you have further questions.

@@Studentship Thank you so much sir, this really help. Currently , am studying physiology and I intend to transfer into medicine.

[@Giftgoody]

@@Studentship please sir, how can I go about the alternative method you suggested

[@Studentship]

@@Giftgoody since, you're currently studying Physiology, I advise you work towards transferring to medicine and starting from second year. Also, if it does not work out, you can always finish your Physiology and apply for Direct entry.

[@Studentship]

@@Giftgoody do you mean the direct entry?

[@favoureffiong-r6y]

sir pls someone with a bsc and master degree in physiology can they be transfer to medicine

[@Studentship]

Yes, but you will have to get into Medicine through direct entry. That is, you will start from 200L. Let me know if you have further questions.

[@favoureffiong-r6y]

@Studentship so u are saying if I can go for human physiology and enter 200level I can take direct entry to transfer in to medcine right or a bsc degree only then transfer.to medicine

[@Studentship]

@favoureffiong-r6y For direct entry, you'd need to graduate from Physiology (4 years), then apply for Medicine where you will start from 200 level. Alternatively, as a Physiology student, you can transfer to Medicine in your second year. Let me know if you still have any questions.

[@favoureffiong-r6y]

@@Studentship thank you very much sir this advice given to me is indeed grateful

[@Studentship]

@favoureffiong-r6y you're welcome. I wish you all the best.

[@OnyebuchiUgwu-p4l]

Sir someone like me that's is already in school 100lvl and have paid school fees and still plan on changing my course is it still advisable to write jamb again 🙏🏻 Pls sir i need ur reply

[@OnyebuchiUgwu-p4l]

And how would i balance preparing for jamb and normal school exam

[@Studentship]

Yes, Ugwu You can sit for JAMB if you want to study your preferred course. It would be easier of you have the support of your sponsors.

[@Studentship]

It is not going to be easy, especially as you have to perform excellently in both the JAMB exam and your semester work. You can make the sacrifice of engaging in extra curricular activities to study. When your classmates are having fun waiting for the next lecture, you're studying for your exams. I will make a video soon sharing my experience of how I merge my first work with JAMB preparations. Let me know if you have further questions.

[@OnyebuchiUgwu-p4l]

[@Studentship]

It is possible to switch to Pharmacy from MLS. Read through my guide on UNN Change of Course here; studentship.com.ng/change-department-in-unn/ Let me know if you still have further questions.

[@EcoGlamorous]

@ ok sir thank you

[@Studentship]

@@EcoGlamorous you're welcome.

[@andiochei]

Sir is it possible to transfer to an engineering department without maths in jamb

[@Studentship]

Yes, but, you must have Mathematics in your O'level.

[@ofulibenjamin7785]

Pls sir,is it possible to change from education and political science to history and int’l relations or mass communication and would I’ve to borrow courses from their own dept as a yr1 student Pls your reply would be helpful

[@ofulibenjamin7785]

Like I’m offering education courses together with political science courses,total of 8 ,would I offer history courses,language courses for int’l relations and mass communication courses too And would I also have to borrow courses that mass communication students are borrowing

[@Studentship]

Yes, you can switch, but you'd have to borrow the extra courses Mass communication students are taking in their first year. Have you resumed for lectures? Also, your school in question will also determine the success of the transfer for you. Feel free to let me know if you have further questions.

[@Studentship]

Benjamin, You will have to make a final decision if you want Mass Communication or International Relations. Have you found out if your current department in Education release students for transfer?

[@ofulibenjamin7785]

@@Studentship Okay Sir,I’ve nt resumed lectures yet but I’m going to ask those in higher levels or even the H.O.D. if they release students for transfer But if I’m to go with mass communication I’d have to borrow extra 3 courses e.g sociology,psychology&Political Science to mine and add to mine to make it 11…pls is it possible

[@ofulibenjamin7785]

@@Studentship The school itself allows change of course with a price of 100k attached but I dunno know for my department tho History&int’l studies borrows a language course and I think either psychology,economics or Sociology,pls so if I’m to switch,am I going to offer their borrowed course or their departmental course and if I’m to offer their departmental course,i’m going to be doing more courses than my course mates right?

[@Giftgoody]

Sir, pls is it till advisable to do jamb when already in yrs 3

[@Studentship]

Gift, What course are you currently studying and department you want to switch to?
