Reading for a Masters� degree at UB can be hell on Earth

For starters, the UB came up with a very welcome development of offering Masters’ degrees on part time basis for those of us who could not attend full time. This was a welcome development in that, apart from offering study opportunities for those who find themselves engaged at different work environments during working hours, it offered a lifetime opportunity for those who could not endure the painful waiting in the long training plan queues kept by most employers. Consequently, it will be a horrible mistake not to thank UB for this gesture.

However, this good intentioned gesture has turned into a nightmare as a result of inept UB lecturers and outrageous academic regulations. According to the UB’s school of graduate studies regulations, a Masters’ degree pursued on part time basis should be completed within 6 semesters (3 academic years).
