Six components. Four years.
The Honours Program goes beyond helping students earn a Bachelor's degree. It is built to prepare the next generation of African leaders who go on to make real contributions to their industries and their country.
Each component runs alongside the degree. Together they form a complete four-year education in leadership, professional skills, and career readiness.
University Access
Placement at a leading private universityStudents are placed at one of Nigeria's leading private universities, selected for academic quality, campus environment, and graduate outcomes. Placement is arranged through the Honours Program and confirmed before the student begins.
Leadership Training
Runs through all four yearsA structured leadership curriculum runs alongside the degree from Year 1 to Year 4. It covers self-awareness, communication, decision-making, and the habits of effective professionals. It is not a one-off workshop. It is a sustained, progressive programme.
Career Accelerator Track
Specialised training on Decagon's learning platformStudents complete a Core Track covering professional foundations, then choose an elective track in Tech, Design, Growth and Digital Marketing, or Entrepreneurship. Training is delivered through Decagon's own platform, monthly masterclasses, and one-on-one feedback sessions.
Community Membership
The Decagon Honours Community, from Year 3From Year 3, students join the Decagon Honours Community. Members receive a verified digital badge, an official Decagon Scholar status on LinkedIn, access to peer groups such as Tech Founders and Growth Marketers, and monthly fireside chats with industry leaders.
Career Mentorship
Direct mentorship from industry professionalsEach student is matched with a mentor from their chosen track. Mentors are working professionals across sectors including technology, finance, media, and entrepreneurship. Mentorship is direct and ongoing, not a one-time introduction.
