Wigwe Nyebuchi Ndubueze are my names, I am Nigerian.I gradutated from a prestigious university in my home country Nigeria, The University of PortHarcourt where I obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2007.
Sequel to my quest in developing a career in information technology in course of my National Youth service program ,after my graduation, I decided to commence a master degree program in North Cyprus owing its advantageous educational cost compared to other countries in Europe.
I got enrolled in the master degree program in Management Information Systems in CIU in 2009. Cyprus International University, as the name implies, clearly depicts a clear standard of an international university. The postgraduate program in this university is quite awesome and highly beneficial as students are taught with modern day facilities which in overall equips students with a comprehensive and efficient pedestal with which to handle various organizational issues after graduation.
After the successful completion of my Master’s degree program in June 2010, I was quite impressed and satisfied with the vast level of knowledge I have so far gained form my master’s degree program. In course of my master’s degree program in Management Information Systems , I was opportuned to enroll in some core computer engineering courses with postgraduate computer engineering students. The modules were inspiring and at the same time challenging. With lots of support from the Instructors and thanks to the services that are constantly available at the University, I acquired a firm understanding of what was expected, and what I could do to improve my self.This inspired my desire to commence a second Master’s degree program in Computer Engineering. I am currently enrolled in my second Master’s degree program in Computer Enginnering where by I am also working as a research asssitant and at the same time working at the CIU International Office.
If you are struggling with what to study, I believe Cyprus Internatioanl University is a flexible university which allows you to choose from a number of courses, moreover the student advisors are brilliant at helping you choose and structure your course. It’s also an inclusive place where you will meet diverse and friendly people. CIU is the place to be!
