ADMISSION INTO A ONE- YEAR FOUNDATION
PROGRAMME- 2015/2016 ACADEMIC SECTION
In
collaboration with the JOINT UNIVERSITIES PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS BOARD
(JUPEB), the University of Benin invites applications from suitably
qualified candidates for admission into the Foundation Programmes for
the 2015/2016 Session.
The
Programme leads to the award of the Joint Universities Preliminary
Examinations Board (JUPEB) Certificate which
enables candidates to gain Direct Entry Admission into 200 level
of the
degrees offered by the University of Benin and other JUPEB –
affiliated Universities in Nigeria and universities abroad. The JUPEB
Certificate is equivalent to the Advance Level GCE or the Old Higher School
Certificate (HSC) or IJMB.
PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION:
Each candidate admitted into the programme
will be exposed to an intensive academic work in three subject combinations
relevant to their desired field of study. The subjects are broken into four
courses labeled 001, 002, 003 & 004 with each candidate taking six courses
per semester making a total of twelve courses at the end of the programme. In
addition, candidates will also take at least two general studies courses (one
per semester). Each course will be examined at the end of each semester but the
results in all the courses taken will be merged at the end of the second
semester to obtain a letter grade in each subject (i.e. A, B, C, D, E & F).
The general studies to be chosen by each candidate will be based on general
courses relevant to the field of study.
For admission into the University of Benin
and other JUPEB affiliate institutions, each candidate, in addition to passing
the prescribed JUPEB examination for issuing the Direct Entry Certificates,
must satisfy all admission requirements prescribed by departments and faculties
of choice.
