One of the ways for you to be sure that you have chosen a good school and course, is to go through your potential university’s brochure, and website to have more information about accreditation of both the school and the course.
Make an Application to the school
Now, that you have chosen a school, it is time to send in an application. Application process can differ depending on the university. You can apply online on the website, or through UCAS(for certain universities), or you can apply in person at the university. To apply, you will need your high school or secondary school result, (WAEC/NECO), your international passport, school transcripts if applicable.
Accept your offer
You will be contacted by your school, usually via email for a feedback on your admission process. However, if you applied through UCAS, you can track your admission process by yourself so as to know if you have been given admission or not. If you have been given a provisional admission, the next step is to accept the offer, by adding your signature and sometimes it might require making a tuition deposit to get your CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies).
