THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNIUYO BASIC STUDIES & UNIUYO PRE-DEGREE PROGRAMMES.

An understanding of the differences and similarities between the Basic studies and pre-Degree Programmes respectively run in the University of Uyo would be very helpful in determining which way a prospective candidate should go as the quest for admission into the school this year. I had thought of defining the boundaries of either programmes separately before but had to effect a change of plans since that would be like boring you with so much stories. . . .and I don’t like doing that. so, i'll make it very brief but complete. In a nut shell, Pre-Degree programme in the university of uyo is for Jamb candidates who wish to undergo a one year programme in the school which does not necessarily mean that they have been admitted. Such candidates must have scored up to 180 points in JAMB 2013. On completion of this programme, the candidates (now semi-students) would take an examination, which when successful would usher them into 100level in the programmes they did during Pre-Degree. On the other hand, candidates who go for Basic studies programme in the university of uyo will be prepared for admission into schools in Ukraine or to take the the Interim Joint Matriculation Board examination (IJMB). This means they may also be exposed to Ukrainian syllabus and on completion of their programme within one year, shall be given the IJMB examination in which if they are successful would be offered the IJMB certificate. Holders of the IJMB certificate would subsequently be admitted into the 200 level of the degree offered by the University of Uyo through Direct Entry Jamb on the courses listed HERE . Candidates applying for this programme must have taken the JAMB UTME 2013. This Basic Studies Programme is actually a collaboration between the University of Uyo and Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) Zaporizhzhia State Medical University National Aerospace University, and Poltava National Technical Yuric, Kondratyuk University, Ukaraine. what is the meaning of CONSORTIUM OF UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITIES? By CONSORTIUM OF UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITIES, we are simply referring to an association of Universities in Ukrain (three of which are listed above ) that will accept you into their schools on completion of the one year non-residential Basic Studies Programme offered by the university of Uyo. Courses available in the Consortium of Ukrainian Universities are: Medicine & Surgery, Pharmacy, Aerospace Engineering, Computer and Software Engineering, Oil & Gas and Management. ..................................................................................................................... As you can see, none of these programmes directly offer you admission into the school this year. Instead they prepare you for qualifying exams which may offer you admission later on into either 100level or 200level programmes in the school depending on what you go for. As you must have known, only registration for these programmes costs N15,500 each. That is to tell you what will be involved in the long run. Post utme and DE costs N2000. Can you see the difference? Don’t worry if you have the cash. Now that you have known this, follow the links below to know the courses on offer this year (2013) and other useful info like exam dates, venues, time etc as you apply for the exams coming up soon .
