Pre-degree Background
With the introduction of the course unit
system in Nigerian Universities in the 1977/78 Session the Concessional
Entrance Examination was abolished in 1978 and admission to Universities
became centralized through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB). Well over one million applicants seek admission every year into
universities which now have a combined capacity of about 250,000. The
competition is quite stiff and good preparation will result in better
performance by the students. This background establishes the need for a
Pre-Degree Programme in the arts and the sciences that would serve as a
platform to equip prospective students for university admission, give
them a good head-start and promote superior studentship in the
university.
Programme Philosophy
In accordance with the vision and
objectives of the University, it is believed that the Pre-Degree
Programme will promote individual self-development and remedy the
deficiencies carried over from the secondary school in the ability to
speak, read and write and to receive instruction in order to
successfully undertake a university programme.
Programme Structure
The Pre-Degree Programme is an intensive
coaching curriculum to prepare high school graduates for university
work. The courses of study which are those of the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) subjects include English Language which
is compulsory for all students, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Mathematics, Economics, Geography, Government, English Literature and
Religious Studies. Students are required to choose three subjects in
addition to English. The curriculum is structured into two contact
periods each of 18 weeks with four contact hours per week for each
subject. There is a three-week break between the first and second
contact periods and one week of examination at the end each contact
period.
