Entry Requirement

General Admission Requirements for Higher Degree

The basic qualification for admission to all Postgraduate Courses and Programmes is a first degree of the University of Ibadan or degree/Higher National Diploma of other recognized Institutions in the relevant discipline. Where qualifications are not strictly in the area of admission, remedial courses, which may lead to additional periods of studentship, may be prescribed.
In addition to individual Departmental requirements, applicants must satisfy the ‘O’ Level first degree matriculation requirements of the University of Ibadan i.e five ‘O’Level credit passes at ONE sitting or 6 ‘O’ level credits at TWO sittings including English Language and subject areas for ALL disciplines and Mathematics for ALL Science-based disciplines, Educational Management and Economics and at least a pass in Mathematics for other Social Science Courses OR Holder of NCE must have credit passes in WASC or credit or merit passes in TC II (obtained between 1967 and 1981) in English Language and four other relevant matriculation subjects.
Candidates for the degree of M.Phil and Ph.D. are admitted in the first instance to the Degree of Master Programme. However, candidates who, in addition to a good first degree, and already holding acceptable postgraduate degrees, may be considered for direct admission to the M.Phil and Ph.D. Programmes.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ADMISSION REQUIREMENT

Candidate with recognized first degree or higher degree assessed to be at least equal or equivalent to the degree of Bachelor or Master of the University of Ibadan and as recognized by the University senate may be admitted to the Masters , M.Phil, M.Phil/Ph.D or Ph.D Programme on the recommendation of the appropriate Faculty Postgraduate Committee
All applicants for the Postgraduate Diploma, Degree of Masters and Professional Master are require to take Test of Proficiency in English Language. A. minimum score of 40 percent must be attained before applicants could be eligible to be shortlisted by the admitting Departments, Schools, or Institutes.
