This article is on computer engineering course in tertiary institutions. The course is arranged in semesters for easy reading. Although the computer engineering course is arranged in no special order, it is expected that the information provides students and university applicants with an idea of the courses under the computer engineering discipline and helps them decide whether to pursue or change discipline.

Qualifications to Study Computer Engineering Course

i) Candidates must pass five (5) subjects from NABTEB/SSCE/GCE/NECO O/L or their equivalents at the credit level in no more than two sittings. These subjects must include English language, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and a credit pass in either technical drawing, biology, or further mathematics.
ii) The disciplines covered in U.T.M.E. should include physics, chemistry, mathematics, and English language.
iii) Applicants must fulfil all other requirements by the university applied before admission can be offered.
