Frequently asked questions

BridgeDegree is neither. It is Nigeria's first embedded career infrastructure platform. We do not teach courses or run bootcamps. We build the verified professional identity of Nigerian students — from their first day in university to their first day in a global career — through structured work experience, academic publication support, and a globally legible Career Passport.

BridgeDegree was founded in Nigeria in 2026 with the founding insight that Nigerian graduates are systematically invisible to global employers — not because of lack of ability, but because the university system produces academic records and nothing else.

No. BridgeDegree operates independently of any university. We do not require institutional approval or affiliation. Individual lecturers and departmental staff at many universities recommend BridgeDegree to their students — but the platform is not a university product.

Yes. BridgeDegree is a registered platform operating in Nigeria with documented corporate partner agreements, a publicly visible approved journal whitelist, and a pilot cohort of named students with verified outcomes.

A coaching service gives you advice and skills. BridgeDegree gives you verifiable credentials. After BridgeDegree, you hold a blockchain-authenticated Career Passport containing 2+ years of documented work experience, at least one indexed publication, and a globally legible professional profile.

100 Level is the ideal time to join. The earlier you enrol, the more years you have to build a verified work record before graduation. Your first internship placement begins at 200 Level.

Yes. Final-year students can join and still benefit from the Publication Pipeline, Career Passport build, and employer placement support.

Yes. All internships are structured, performance-tracked placements with formal corporate partners who have signed placement commitments. Each placement has an assigned line manager or mentor and ends with a formal performance review authenticated to your Career Passport.

The Publication Pipeline supports the submission of your final-year project to an approved, indexed, peer-reviewed journal. Your existing final-year work is aligned to an industry brief, co-authored with a supervisor or expert, and prepared for submission.

The Global Mobility Framework is a premium add-on. It includes scholarship strategy, SOP development, international CV, ATS calibration, LinkedIn optimisation, NYSC integration, and post-graduation migration support.

The Career Passport is BridgeDegree's flagship credential — a single blockchain-authenticated document that aggregates everything you produce during the programme: internship records, performance reviews, publications, mentor validations, and certifications. It is permanently yours, globally legible, and verifiable by any employer anywhere in seconds.

Your credentials are recorded on a tamper-proof, decentralised digital ledger. Any employer can visit BridgeDegree's verification portal, enter your Passport reference, and instantly confirm the authenticity of your credentials. The record cannot be altered or faked.

BridgeDegree is priced to reflect career transformation. Exact pricing is confirmed during the advisor consultation. Monthly, termly, and annual payment plans are available for all tiers.

Yes to both. Many BridgeDegree students are co-funded by their parents. Instalment plans — monthly or termly — are available for all tiers.

The Nigerian university system produces graduates with degrees and nothing else. BridgeDegree builds verified work experience, published research, and a global profile during university — not after. The cost is an investment in an outcome: your child graduating with verifiable credentials that give them a real competitive edge.

We publish our outcomes. Named student case studies, employer-verified placements, publication submission confirmations, and employer endorsements are all available on our website. We encourage parents to review our case studies and speak with our advisory team before enrolling.
