12 Lists Of Best & Highly Paid Courses To Study In Nigerian Universities – 2020 Review
1. Medicine & Surgery: I’m sure Medicine and Surgery as a course is not new to you. We all know the stress involved in studying medicine in Nigeria.
Though, if you can be determined, patient and consistent you will surely reap the juicy fruit of been a medical doctor. Though, the process of gaining admission into medicine is highly competitive in Nigeria.
You have to be well prepared and ensure you score so high in UTME. Some Universities in Nigeria will not even consider any score less than 250 in UTME for medicine.
See List Nigerian Universities Offering Medicine and surgery with their cut off marks.
2. Pharmacy: Another lucrative and wonderful course to study in Nigeria is Pharmacy. Not just because of its employ-ability, but because of the opportunity it offers to be self reliance at the end of the whole thing.
You cannot only seek for Job with your degree in pharmacy, but also establish your own Pharmaceutical companies or Pharmacy. Pharmacy admission is also competitive, check out The number of pharmacy applicants in Nigerian Universities .
3. Accounting & Finance: These are two courses and are both lucrative when you studied them to their professional levels. With accounting and finance, you can be employed by any companies in the world.
The profession places you in a better position to work anywhere. See How to register ICAN and The Cost In Nigeria.You can also establish your own financing firm and start financial consulting service. I’m personally proud to be an accountant.
4. Law: Law is a professional course you can study in the university to become a lawyer or a court judge. Law is well known for its professional practices and opportunities.
If after you graduated from the university and proceeded to school of law and passed the prescribed examination, you become a barrister with practicing license.
5. Architecture: This is a lucrative course and it is a less competitive course in Nigeria. Architecture is a professional course and you can use it to engage yourself after graduation by establishing your own studio. You just don’t need to run around with your certificate seeking for job.
6. Agriculture Science: You may not want to see this on the list but its real. We are officially on recession and the government place to rescue the economy is through diversification to agriculture and mineral resources.
So for any serious student, it is important to learn the act of going back to farm. You can go into fishery, piggery, planting, and many other aspect of Agriculture to harness the potential on the field.Read: 2019 UTME: How To Register, The Fee And how To Pass

One interesting thing about studying Graphics Art is that, your job is not only restricted to Nigeria. You can get job from any part of the world.
8.Nursing: Nursing is good, lucrative and employable. Both in Nigeria and abroad. Despite the huge rate of unemployment, Nigeria is still in short supply of good and professional nurses.

9.Marketing: Surprised to see this on the list? Wow!!! Marketing is cool and it is among one of the highest paid professions in the world.

12. Chemical/Petroleum Engineering: This is the last. I guessed you know the importance attached to petroleum in Nigeria and any other part of the world? Now imaging been a petroleum engineer. Its ‘darm’ lucrative. You can check out list of Nigerian universities that offer chemical engineering.
To me, and as a matter of fact, it is not really the course you studied in the University that makes you, it is the uniqueness in you.
What you would be in the nearest future is not solely determined by the course you studied in the classroom of your university, rather your determination, the excellence in your attitude, the great things you can offer and how creative you are.
