We have got great research supporting brilliant teachings, in the research front we are ranked as the joint second modern university in the UK for research excellence and 77 per cent of our research is ranked either as world-leading or internationally excellent.
We offer some really popular programs for Nigerian students such as MBA programs and we also offer a wide range of other programs. This September we are launching more than 20 new academic programs and they are both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
For job opportunities, some of our Nigerian students for example will like to return home and find work here in Nigeria but there are also opportunities to stay and work through the graduate route and post-study work.
