No course is easy to study but there are some courses that are more difficult than the others.
Most of these hard courses are noticeably present in the science departments and poses a real challenge to those who want to study them as they require a great deal of hard work, determination and focus to get good grades from them.
All aspiring University students are to take serious notes of these courses and be diligent at it if they find themselves in any of the departments.
Below are the 13 most difficult courses in Nigerian universities.
1. Aeronautical Engineering
The study, design and manufacturing of flight-capable machines. It is considered one of the toughest courses to study in a Nigerian university. Very few offer it.
2. Pharmacy
It is a health profession that links health sciences with pharmaceutical sciences and aims to ensure the safe, effective, and affordable use of drugs.
It is also considered a very dangerous course in Nigerian universities.
3. Actuarial Science
It is a course that applies mathematical and statistical methods to assess risk in insurance, finance and other industries and professions.
It is considered very tricky and should be avoided by people who have an aversion for numbers.
4. Geology
This is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them.
It is a popular, albeit very dangerous course to study in Nigeria.
5. Physics

It is also considered one of the toughest courses to study, especially since it aims to understand how the universe behaves.
6. Philosophy

Imagine it being taught in a Nigerian classroom? I’m sure you get the gist.
9. Petroleum and Gas Engineering

In many Nigerian schools, this course is often studied by chronic bookworms.
10. Chemical Engineering
It uses the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to efficiently use, produce, design, transport and transform energy and materials.
If you’re not an “efiko”, please don’t bother.
11. Geo-Physics
It is concerned with the physical processes and physical properties of the Earth and its surrounding space environment.
Only people with space dreams can try this in a Nigerian school.
12. Bio-Chemistry
This is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
You will always see students of this department with big bags on campuses looking like refugees.
13. Architecture
