Can not recommend

I applied for a Master in English as the master coordinator promised me it is available. On my first day I found out they only had it in Spanish, so I moved from Germany to Spain for a Master where I couldn't understand anything and of course, it was already very late to apply for another University or Business School. I wrote a Mail to the coordinator as the people in the front office couldn't help me, but I didn't get an answer. As well I tried to call but you only have the number of the front office and they always told me the coordinator is busy or when they told me he will call me back I didn't get a call. After a while, I got the Information that I will get my money back but I had to fill in a form. Of course, I didn't get the form in the time period the coordinator promised me and I had to try to call again. Same as last time I had no chance to speak with him. At the end, I contacted a lawyer and wrote a last mail to the coordinator. He replied 10 minutes later...! I can not recommend this business school!! Even I had the chance to visit two different classes for one session and the lecturer explained very practical which was good but very very slow. You also have to take care because you won't get a Master of Science or Art or anything accepted in der European Region.

Academic Excellence

I can boldly say that today my research skills have improved drastically because of the skills I learnt in UH. UH not only gives you an opportunity to grow, it gives you the necessary exposure as a student. With the experience garnered from UH, you can compete anywhere in the world. The tutors are exceptionally qualified and always ready to guide you through. Adaora Nwaka LLM,Energy Law and the Environment.

My Review

My Experience at Nnamdi Azikiwe University as a Computer Science Student Studying Computer Science at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) was a formative and eye-opening experience. The university is one of Nigeria’s leading federal institutions, so it attracts a diverse student body and a broad range of lecturers and researchers. What I Liked • Quality of Lecturers: Many of the lecturers in the Computer Science department are knowledgeable and genuinely interested in students’ success. Some go the extra mile to share real-life industry insights, not just theory. • Curriculum Breadth: The course structure covers core areas like programming, algorithms, data structures, operating systems, networking, and database systems. This gave me a strong theoretical base. • Opportunities for Growth: There are student tech clubs, Google developer groups, and hackathons on campus. Participating in these helped me build practical skills beyond coursework. • Diverse Community: The mix of students from different states and cultures makes campus life lively and exposes you to new perspectives. What I Disliked • Infrastructure Challenges: Computer labs sometimes lacked up-to-date hardware or steady internet access, which limited hands-on practice. • Large Class Sizes: Some courses had very large classes, making it harder to get individual attention. • Administrative Delays: Like many public universities in Nigeria, you may experience delays in results processing or scheduling. What Stood Out to Me • The enthusiasm of students in self-organised coding clubs and competitions—this created a strong informal learning environment. • Lecturers who incorporated research topics and practical projects into their courses. • The vibrant social and cultural life on campus—events, student organisations, and entrepreneurship opportunities are everywhere. Would I Recommend It? Yes—if you are self-motivated and willing to supplement your classroom learning with online resources and extracurricular activities. UNIZIK offers a solid theoretical foundation, and with personal initiative you can graduate with competitive skills. However, if you expect state-of-the-art facilities or a highly personalised teaching style, you might find it challenging.

One of the best in Academics and morals

Madonna University is one of the best universities in Nigeria to obtain a medical degree. Professors are seasoned and well qualified with a system that ensures syllabus are properly covered with our well equipped laboratories. Great sports facilities and conducive learning environments There are restrictions with movements as every student is expected to live on campus. It is generally a great place to be.
