The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has announced an online programme for Higher National Diploma (HND) holders to convert their certification to a bachelor’s degree (BA/BSc) through an online one-year top-up with foreign accredited universities.
The programs are going to be solely managed by the universities concerned and NBTE is playing pivotal role to bridge the gap between candidates who have NBTE approved HND and universities who can offer the top-up degree programs. This way both the university and the applicants are ensured for a most effective and systematic approach towards attaining their Top-up degrees.
