It’s important to know the courses offered in polytechnics in Nigeria because it’s not every course that is offered in the universities that are available in polytechnics.
So if you are planning to study in a polytechnic, you need to know what options are available for you in terms of courses to choose from.
But then,
Courses NOT offered in Nigerian polytechnics
Since there are hundreds of available programs in the polytechnics and lesser numbers, a more convenient approach will be to mention those courses that are not offered in most polytechnics then we can proceed to the list of science, art and social science courses in Nigerian polytechnics.
Please note that this is a general list kinda because a few polytechnics offer some courses you can’t in most other polytechnics in Nigeria. For example, here is:
- Polytechnics that offer medical laboratory science
- Nigerian polytechnics that offer engineering courses
