NOUN Courses

Finding accredited NOUN courses used to be very difficult for some people. This is because, not all the students and admission seekers knew that the National Open University had two websites.

They have and constantly update the two websites – www.nou.edu.ng and www.nu.org.ng. The University also used to run noun.edu.ng, which now redirects to sso.nou.edu.ng.

You can find details of NOUN course and requirement at postgraduate levels by clicking here.

NOUN course materials remain something that students also struggle to get online. This is the case last time I checked and I hope the management has been working to improve the case. This has been really improved upon and you can access NOUN courseware easily now.

Finally, considering the fact that this is Open University education, materials for NOUN courses should be readily available for anyone to access anytime and anywhere. This has now been done.
