10. Mass Communication

Mass communication gives you the golden opportunity to meet new people daily and as well penetrate both the public and private sectors. They can work in TV stations, Newspaper publishing firms, and so on.

9. Mathematics

This dy/dx has been the nightmare of many students right from primary school. Because many persons are afraid to major in mathematics, the demand for mathematicians has increased astronomically. Many firms are actively recruiting mathematicians. The course is currently a hot cake.

8. Architecture

Architecture is a very great course to study. One thing about architecture is that it makes you self-employed. Architecture is a top course.

7. Nursing

Nursing as a course is seriously getting more exposure in Nigeria. Gone are the days when it was classed as a female occupation. These days, more guys are going into nursing.

The rate at which people are rushing nursing would make it to the top 5 hot cake courses in Nigeria a few years from now. Trust me, Nursing is a hot cake course.

6. Estate Management

You help people to manage their property and you get rewarded. This is what estate management is about. There are so many opportunities for estate management professionals both at home and abroad.

If you can practice estate management while you study, then you are a big boy or girl. This course is indeed a hot cake.

5. Law

Law moves one step upward this year. This puts Law in the top 5 list of hot cake courses in Nigeria. The fact that lawyers are less patronized these days due to the level of corruption in the country is not a strong signal that the course is not lucrative or profitable.

You don’t need to limit yourself to the courtroom. There are many other opportunities for you as a lawyer. Law as course is marketable. You can become an attorney for a big company or even a family lawyer and start earning big.

4. Accounting

As the name implies, accounting is the language of serious business. It is a very marketable and hot cake course in Nigeria. The number of candidates who fill accounting in their Jamb form yearly is alarming.

This speaks of the high level of exposure accounting has gotten in Nigeria. Accounting is a very good art course to study in any Nigerian University.

3. Pharmacy

Meet the big guy. This course is very interesting especially when you study it in Uniben; you become a Doctor of pharmacy immediately after graduation. Generally, Pharmacy is a lucrative, marketable, and very hot cake course in Nigeria.

Just the way Pharmacy is a hot cake course, it is very hot to study as well. Pharmacy is very demanding in any University. However, as a pharmacy graduate, self-employment will not be a major problem for you.

Recommended: Jamb score you need to be admitted into any course

2. Engineering

Meet the guys that intimidate law and management science students with their lab coats and drawing boards. They do not joke with ELA, EMA, and MEE. They are called Engineering students.

There is no year you will not find Engineering in the list of hot and most sought-after courses in Nigeria. Engineering as a whole is a very nice course to study. Engineering courses sell in all major industries around the world. The following are top Departments under the faculty of Engineering:

  • Electrical/Electronic Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Mechatronic Engineering
  • Petroleum Engineering
  • Civil Engineering
  • Structural Engineering
  • Computer Engineering
  • Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
  • Petroleum and Gas Engineering
  • Systems Engineering
  • Production and Industrial Engineering

One thing about Engineering graduates is that they can do anything. Yes, engineers can do anything. For example, the person writing this article is an engineering graduate but he does many other things outside Engineering. Engineering is one of the most marketable courses in the world.

1. Medicine And Surgery

Medicine is the most applied course in Nigeria. It is high paying and marketable both at home and abroad. Medicine and Surgery retain its spot as the number one hot cake course in Nigeria.
