KWASU HND to B.Sc. Conversion Admission Form 2016/2017 Is Out

Kwara State University, KWASU HND to B.Sc. conversion programme admission application form for 2016/2017 academic session is out. Interested members of the public that wish to convert their HND certificate to degree are hereby informed.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for the Kwara State University HND conversion programme for the 2016/17 session. The KWASU HND Conversion programme addresses the dichotomy between B.Sc. and HND certificate holders.

The major aim is to provide a level playing field, by way of Bachelor’s degree programme, to HND holders determined to beat discriminations in the world of work. This programme also provides a platform on which a university degree holder, hitherto dissatisfied with his/her class of degree, could “top up” and come out better.

In the same vein, a holder of University degree who may wish to cross into other related discipline is afforded the opportunity through this programme. Ultimately, the programme is designed to promote self-actualization and imbue professional fulfillment with dignity.
