- A young Nigerian who tried to apply for a master's degree with her HND has shared her experience
- She explained how useless an HND certificate is and how she converted hers to a BSc
- She shared the process and also listed some important requirements for the programme
A young Nigerian lady has explained how she easily converted her HND certificate to a BSc after meeting four requirements following her NYSC programme.
She explained that she had completed her NYSC programme a year earlier and tried to apply for a master's degree. However, the universities she applied to rejected her application, telling her that the only way they could admit her into their programme was if she first obtained a PGD or enrolled for a BSc.

Lady converts her HND certificate to BSc
She, however, refused to enrol and decided to do more research.
She said in the TikTok video:
"As much as you don't like to hear it, that HND certificate you have is very useless. After my NYSC in 2025, I decided it was time to apply for a master's degree."
"I made research on schools that offer my course of study and I tried to apply to every one of them, but guess what, they all gave me the same response. We don't accept HND certificates. We'll only accept it if you add a PGD to it or you'll come to our school and do a BSc."
After her inability to apply for a master's degree programme, @tenithecreator explained in the video that she eventually found an alternative that enabled her to convert her HND to a BSc, and she explained how.
Her statement:
"I had to find another alternative. I did what is called an HND to BSc top-up programme, and that means not only will I hold an HND certificate, I will also be a BSc holder."
"This does not mean your HND certificate has been nullified, but it will be as though you're being sent back to 300 level or HND One, and that means you'll do exams, tests, assignments, everything, including projects."
"One year later, I have just concluded my final exam that will make me qualify for the BSc degree."
She explained in the video that the programme that helped her convert her HND to a BSc does not mean her HND is now useless, but that she now has both HND and BSc certificates after recently completing her final exam.

She spoke further in the video as she shared four requirements or things a person needs to know before applying to convert their HND to a BSc.
She concluded:
"Here are some of the things you're required to have before you apply for the top-up programme."
"You must be an HND certificate holder."
"You must have completed your NYSC."
"The course you studied during your HND matters."
"It varies by the school you apply to. I went to a private school, and the programme is one year."
