Maybe this is your first time hearing about a pre-degree course and you would like to know more, or you just need a quick answer to a question bothering you on a Pre-degree course.
Then, here are 10 things you must know about pre-degree admissions to universities in Nigeria.

1. What is the Pre-degree Course?
First, let’s look at what the Pre-degree program is all about.
A pre-degree program is a one-year course administered by a university to prepare candidates
seeking admission into 100 levels of any of her courses. The course is run for two semesters, usually not lasting beyond 6 to 9 months of academic work.

2. Requirements to obtain the Pre-Degree form
[/b]Generally speaking, you need at least 5 or 6 credit passes (depending on your proposed course)
in your O’level results (in not more than two sittings). The O’level results can be WAEC, NECO,
NABTEB, NBAIS. Where you don’t have the complete results but are offered preliminary
admission, you’ll be required to provide that before you can be offered admission to the 100 level.
In other words, some of these schools allow awaiting results provided you’ll be able to have your
complete required result on or before 100-level admission.
You should check for such details (conditions) on your proposed school’s pre-degree form advertisements for further clarification.

[b]3. Do all Nigerian universities run Pre-degree Programmes?
No.
But very many of them run the course. These include Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife,
Osun State University, and Adekunle Ajasin University to mention but a few.
Yet, we have some; including the University of Ibadan that are not involved (at least not yet) in
running the program.
Meanwhile, some universities don’t call it pre-degree, rather they call it, remedial e.g. University
of Ilorin, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, etc. read more @ https://hotschoolnews.com.ng/2024-2025-pre-degree-programme/
