You are welcome to Hqwords. On this page, you will learn about art courses in university and how you can scale through them while in the university.
There are a lot of art courses in university so you wouldn’t have to limit them to the few you know of.
The dream of every student who is interested in obtaining more than an SSCE certificate is to pursue a degree in the university.
If you are an Arts student and you are interested in pursuing a degree in the Faculty of Arts in Nigeria, but not sure which courses are available to you, we’ve got you covered.
In this blog post, I have compiled an aggregate of Arts courses in Nigerian universities.
Some of the art courses in this post are slightly modified by foreign universities to reflect the culture and needs of the labor market.
Structure of Faculty of Arts
The number of courses in the Faculty of Arts changes from university to university. Sometimes from country to country.
For instance, the Faculty of Arts in the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria comprises Departments of Fine and Applied Arts, Mass Communication, Linguistics and African Studies, English and Literature, Foreign Languages, History and International Studies, and Philosophy and Religions.
In some universities, there are modifications to what they call some of these departments. For instance, History and International Studies is known as International Relations and Diplomacy in some institutions.
Despite the slight in the name of the course, they mostly have the same aims and objectives and similar course outlines.
