Aptech’s special partnership with Middlesex University London gives advanced diploma holders a direct route to an international degree. Students who finish their Aptech Advanced Diploma can enter the final year of certain Bachelor’s programs at Middlesex University. These programs include BSc (Hons) IT and Business Information Systems, BSc (Hons) Business Computing & Data Analytics, BA (Hons) Animation, and BA (Hons) 3D Animation for Games & Films. This setup can save students up to two years of regular study and lower tuition costs, making a UK degree more affordable. Over the last 20 years, more than 1200 students have achieved their goals of studying abroad through Aptech’s programs.
Nigerian youths are making waves globally, with Lagos accounting for five out of Africa’s seven tech unicorns. The growing sectors of fintech, artificial intelligence, software engineering, and animation are attracting huge investments. Today’s IT professionals in Nigeria are in high demand, with skilled experts finding opportunities both at home and abroad. Because of this, Aptech Career Quest 2026 aims to equip students with the knowledge and support they need to be job-ready for the future.
In a job market where digital skills are essential, events like Aptech Career Quest show their value. Students attending Career Quest 2026 will benefit from the mentorship of experts from Aptech HQ and Middlesex University (London) during both in-person and virtual sessions. Through Aptech, participants will learn the latest curriculum in high-demand areas like data science, AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, gaming, and animation. The experience goes beyond regular academics, providing chances for networking, international industry connections, and practical insights into careers shaping Africa and the world.
At every event during the tour, attendees can enter a lucky draw for scholarships of up to 50% for UK degree programs. There are also special offers for short-term and professional courses from Aptech. These scholarships will be available at all events, helping eligible students and parents achieve their dreams of studying globally and having successful tech careers. The schedule focuses on key areas for Nigeria’s digital growth. In the last edition of Aptech Career Quest, over ₦621 million in scholarships were given. The energy and excitement of this annual event are highlighted in this year’s official teaser video, available on Instagram, capturing the hope and ambition associated with Aptech Career Quest.
Mr Kallol Mukherjee, Executive Vice President, International Business, Aptech Limited said, "Aptech Career Quest shows our commitment to giving students affordable access to globally recognized education and careers that are ready for the future.

The market is valued at USD 38.76 billion and is growing quickly with the rise of local fintech and data demand. As technology continues to evolve, Aptech Nigeria and Middlesex University London invite the youth of Nigeria to boldly enter the global digital space this August. Aptech Career Quest 2026 is the gateway to unlocking futures, connecting continents, and setting new standards for readiness in a time of innovation.
