PROGRAMMES

The Pre-degree programme would normally run for one year to prepare students for UTME/Post UTME examinations towards admission into 100 Levels of various degree programmes as well as to prepare students who have deficiencies in one or two O’level subjects. Candidates who could not secure provisional admission into Redeemer’s University degree programmes or the degree programmes of other recognized universities due to low performance in UTME and post-UTME, are particularly encouraged to enrol into the pre-degree programme.

The Foundation programme has been designed to run intensively for one academic session to prepare candidates for external examination conducted by the Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Boards (JUPEB). Successful candidates may proceed into the degree programmes of Redeemer’s University via the Direct-entry option into 200-Level.
