Decagon Honours Program — For JAMB Candidates Who Scored 250+
Everyone graduates with a degree. The Honours Program makes sure you're ready.
The Decagon Honours Program runs alongside your degree to build the skills, experience, relationships, and confidence to move from university into the world of work and opportunity.
Built for Nigeria's brightest students.
If you scored 250 or above in the UTME and have not yet started university, you are eligible to apply. The programme is selective, structured, and built to produce results.
JAMB score of 250 or above
The minimum academic threshold. Your score is your starting point.
Nigerian citizen
The programme is open to Nigerian citizens only.
Not yet started university
You must be applying to start your degree — not currently enrolled.
Commitment to the full programme
The Honours Program runs alongside your degree for its full duration.
A degree alone won't set you apart. The Honours Program will — six components, running alongside your degree.
University Access
Placement at one of Nigeria's leading private universities, selected for academic quality and campus environment.
Leadership Training
A structured leadership curriculum that runs through all four years alongside the degree.
Career Accelerator Track
Specialised professional skills training delivered on Decagon's own learning platform.
Community Membership
From Day 1, students join the Decagon Honours Community — a network of peers and professionals that grows with them through the programme.
Career Mentorship
Direct, ongoing mentorship from industry professionals across sectors.
Opportunity Access
A dedicated portal for volunteer roles, vacation jobs, freelance work, internships, and projects.
Built on eight years of results.
Decagon was founded in 2018. Since then, it has trained thousands of Nigerians in technology and professional skills. The Honours Program is the next step, a structured four-year journey designed for students entering university today.

You already know a degree alone is not enough.
You want to invest in preparing your exceptional son or daughter to thrive. You sense that a degree alone will not set them apart — and you are right.
Too many graduates spend years after university underprepared and undifferentiated. The Decagon Honours Program changes that — four years of structured preparation running alongside the degree, so they leave ready for what comes next.
"They graduate unprepared."
The Honours Program builds real skills — leadership, professional practice, and career readiness — from Year 1, not after graduation.
"They graduate undifferentiated."
A Decagon Scholar leaves with a verified credential, a professional network, and documented experience that sets them apart from day one.
"The investment doesn't pay off."
The programme costs ₦275,000 per year — a structured investment in preparation, not just a degree. Every component is designed to produce a measurable outcome.
