Software engineering is a lucrative science course to study in Nigerian universities. It is a course in most schools under the Faculty of Engineering or Technology.
Software engineering is a course that applies engineering principles to software systems design, development, testing, and maintenance. It involves a systematic approach to building reliable, efficient, and maintainable software products.
The course is five (5) years, and you get the opportunity to go for industrial training (IT), where you learn the practical aspects of the course.
Attending a school accredited by JAMB that offers software engineering is necessary. It is the reason why I have decided to make this compilation.
Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further clarification. I would love to hear from you.

Let me know in the comment box below if you have any questions concerning software engineering in Nigeria. I would love to hear from you.
Pls does unilag offers software engineer as Bsc
No, Ayo
UNILAG does not offer Software Engineering at the moment.
Please I would like to know if Africa University of science and technology is not recognized by jamb as one of the schools offering software engineering
Thank you
Hello Iziegbe,
Unfortunately, I could not verify the school is accredited for Software Engineering on the JAMB portal.
But, if you’re able to select the institution during JAMB registration for Soft Engineering, then go with the application.
Does Imo state university offers
computer software engineer
No, Marcel
IMSU only offers Computer Science.
