Such candidates are eligible for admission to Year II degree course after successfully completing the 100 Level examinations of the Faculty of Science. Entrance qualifications: All applicants must be at least twenty-five years old. Under no circumstance will an applicant below twenty-five years of age be considered. Applicants who fulfil the age requirement must also fulfil the following conditions: For entry into Year II, the General Certificate of Education with passes in five subjects, or the West African School Certificate with credits in five subjects including English Language and Mathematics of which not fewer than two have been passed at the Advanced level. However, the subjects passed at Advanced level must be those to be offered in the degree course. In addition, candidates offering physics in the degree course must have passed Mathematics at the advanced level (G.C.E.) or its equivalent. Special Entry Preparatory Programme (SEPP) (a) At least five years teaching experience in addition to five G.C.E. 'O' level or WASC papers including English Language and Mathematics and two Science Subjects; (b) Teachers Grade II Certificate with merit in English Language, Mathematics and Science subjects, or G.C.E. Ordinary Level in five subjects including science subjects, English Language and Mathematics. A combination of Teacher Grade II merits and GCE passes/WASC credits may be considered provided no subject is counted twice. Any other equivalent or comparable qualifications may be considered. Associateship Diploma (Mathematics and Science) of the University of Lagos or any other University recognised by Senate. | |||||||||||||||||||
