Let me break this down for you:
📍 BSc, HND, OND level:
At undergraduate or diploma level, you’re often free to study whatever you’re passionate about (e.g., history, sociology, mass communication, biology). At this stage, the course might not strongly affect your migration opportunities.
📍 MSc level (Master’s degree):
If your main reason for pursuing further studies is to relocate abroad, then the choice of course matters a lot.
Some fields are much more lucrative and marketable internationally because they:
• Have high demand in countries like Canada, the UK, US, Australia.
• Can directly lead to job opportunities, work permits, or permanent residency pathways.
• Fit into skilled worker visa categories (e.g., healthcare, IT, engineering, data science, social work, nursing, public health).
So, the advice is:
• At undergraduate level, you can experiment with interests.
• But at Master’s level, if the goal is to use education as a pathway to migrate, it’s strategic to pick a course that aligns with global demand, not just personal interest.
A common example:
Someone who studied Theatre Arts in Nigeria (BSc) can do MSc in Data Analytics, Public Health, or Nursing abroad if their main aim is migration, because those courses boost chances of employability and visa sponsorship.
BSc = Passion, MSc = Strategy. If your goal is Japa, choose wisely.
