I will be helping you decide which course to apply for considering your training, background, experience and Bsc degrees. But before then there are many things you need to decide on.
The Top 3 are these;
1. Eligibility for the proposed course of study
2. The Fees associated with each programme
3. The Format and structure of the exams
I will cover each on this post, to help you prepare and make informed decisions.
1. Eligibility for the Proposed Course of Study
Here Unilag Pg does not allow you to do some courses with your Bsc. If you have HND you are very very limited to MBA and 2 other courses. you need to find out if your course is eligible, so you dont get disqualified as I know a lot of people who scored above the cut-off point in last exams but were disqualified.E,g Bsc Accounting is only restricted to
read Msc Finance, Accounting or Development Finance. But there are other combos you could do if only you have the right info.
For example Combos for Economics graduate are listed below. if you dont have this info you might never know you could do these courses as an Economics graduate. having proper info o these things is very important.

Lets talk about
2. The Fees Associated with the Programme
I see lots of people drop their admission year in year out, due to improper financial planning.First seek out the correct fees you are to pay for your program. Find out the total fees, the hidden fees, the financial implications.
The form fees and what it will take to cross the whole hurdle.
The 5 Stages are:
1. Application2. Examination
3. Admission
4. Registration
5. Lectures
Each stages has financial implication. Plan for them.
Some courses run for 2 sessions, that means if you are paying N100k per session, you will require N200k plus others. You need to put all these into consideration.
There is also the need for textbooks, there are other cost like field work, and other tools for science/engineering students. Generally, its cheap for FUll time students compared to part-time students.
This is big INFO you should get before deciding to go ahead with your course of study.
Many people dropped their admission because they could not pay the fees.
Fees ranges from N60k to N2million. you need to find out so you can decide and make plans to get ready for the journey ahead.
There are many ad-joint fees you also pay when you get admission apart from the Tuition Fees.
Acceptance fees, Department fees, Material fees, Pg fees, accommodation fees (not compulsory) and others
Let me know if you have issues with your intending course fees?
I always say get the right info and excellent become cheap.

How do you overcome these?
1. Know your course tuition fees and or hidden fees, ask from current or past students, or ask me2. Look at your finances- who is sponsoring you? yourself?, your partner? or parents, so that you start preparing them for it.
Things are easier if they are budgeted for
3. You too must start making plans for this with your little savings and contributions
4. If your options are very limited - you can do a long term planning towards your education, always believe there is a way out
5. Take action.
The more you put off your Masters because of no time, no money or because you want to go to "Harvard" time is tickling away. you should do something while you can.
All the best as you make your decision.

Then lastly I will cover
3. The Format and Structure of the Examinations
You interest now is to get into Unilag. We have covered eligibility and found you are ok. checked the fees and found a way to adapt.Now, How do you get the admission? is the main question we seek to resolved here.
I will say there is a parable that those that ask questions dont get lost.
Find out the type of questions your course set for the exams, so that you can adequately prepare. If your course is still setting it will be foolish to be preparing for Objectives. Find out.
The only way to get this is through PAST QUESTIONS and asking a current Pg student in your department.
Also find out the duration and how many questions you are probably going to answer on exam so that you can start preparing mentally.
Exam fever is as a result of lack of preparation - I don't want that to happen to you.
After knowing these you can then decided how to tackle the questions either by solving them yourself or hiring someone to do one-on-one coaching or finding a tutorial center for brushing up.
The action you take is predicated on what you find from the past questions.
I have made it even simpler for you, I have compiled the past questions and got solutions to them for easy refrence. You can assess a copy for your course below.
