Please house, I want to know if you can study a course and go for masters degree in another different field entirely?
In my own case, I'm in Agricultural Education Dept. but I'm thinking of going for another degree in computer science/Criminology/Cyberspace security, or can these courses be done in masters? As it does not relate to the course I'm currently doing. Or what masters degree courses can you recommend for an Agricultural Education student?

You can do a masters degree entirely different from your first degree, however when the faculties are far apart, as in your example, from edu to science/technology, you are more than likely going to need to do a one year Postgraduate diploma (PGD) first (in most Nigerian unis).

If you are able to earnestly dedicate yourself to self study, I would advise that you proceed to higher studies than going back to the undergraduate.
