Are you looking for universities that offer pre degree in Nigeria? If yes, then you are at the right place. This article will give you a complete list of universities offering pre degree programs.
A pre degree program is a type of undergraduate study that leads to a bachelor’s degree. The duration of these programs varies from four years to seven years. They are usually designed to prepare students for their future career or studies.
Pre degree programs are offered by various universities across the globe. These programs are designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge needed to enter into higher level courses.
This piece, therefore, will enlighten you about pre degree programmes as well as Universities that offer Pre degree in Nigeria.
Following the fallout of poor JAMB UTME and Post UTME performance for this year, many youngsters are at a crossroads on what next for their academic future.
Pre degree is a pre entry programme that prepares students for university admission.
Most universities in Nigeria run their pre degree programme for one year and there will be two academic semesters. The 1st and the 2nd and each of them will end with a final exam.
However, there are cases where pre degree programmes may run for more than two semesters, as in the case of the University’s Diploma.
Also, one more important point to raise here is that Pre degree does not give automatic admission, however it increases the admission opportunity compare to UTME candidate.
In most cases, Pre degree students or candidates are usually instructed to register for jamb to support the pre degree programme.
Now, there are two major pre degree programmes in Nigeria. We have Pre degree (Remedial) and IJMB (Interim joint matriculation board). This is not to push aside some other pre degree courses like JUPEB and diploma, which are also classified under pre degree.
Below, we are highlighting some major differences between these two programmes.
Pre Degree (REMEDIAL)
- The programme runs from Eight to twelve months
- Admission is offered into 100L(year one)
- It requires that you register for jamb before admission
- O’ level result must be complete before applying for the programme.
- Accepted by just one institution (the institution running the programme)
- Not accepted for all courses (e.g Medicine)
- Remedial Result expires after 1 year
IJMB (Interim Joint Matriculation Board)
- It is a fixed nine months programme
- Admission is offered into 200L (year 2)
- IJMB Doesn’t require UTME before final admission as admission is by direct entry (DE)
- IJMB Accepts incomplete O’level and awaiting result
- It is widely accepted by 75% of all Nigerian universities
- It accepts all courses especially medicine, law, and engineering
- IJMB Result expires after fifteen(15) years
- Lectures are A level, thus it prepares a student for university education.

Frequently Asked Questions?
What are the prerequisites for a pre-degree?
Admission to the Pre-Degree Science Programme normally requires a minimum of five credits (at two sittings) in Biology, Chemistry, English Language, Mathematics, and Physics at the SSCE, GCE, NECO, and NABTEB ordinary level.
How long does Pre-degree last?
A pre-degree programme is a one-year course offered by a university to prepare students for entry into the 100 level of any of her courses. The course is divided into two semesters and typically lasts 6 to 9 months of academic work.
Is JAMB required for pre-degree?
Do You Have to Write the JAMB UTME With Your Pre degree? Yes, the answer is YES. You have to. Several universities offering pre-degree programs will continue to require candidates to take JAMB because it is the custom and the national requirement for full-time admission.
What happens after a pre-degree?
Regardless of the university, polytechnic, or college of education or course proposed, after obtaining a pre-degree, pre-ND, or Pre-NCE form and running the programme for about a year, you will be offered admission into 100 level, ND 1, or NCE 100 level, as the case may be.
Can I study medicine using my pre-degree?
Some universities will admit you to medicine if you have a pre-degree. Though most universities do not allow pre-degree admission to medical courses such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, and others.
What differentiates between a pre-degree and a diploma?
In contrast, if you choose a Pre-University programme, you will need to complete a Degree before you can enter the workforce. This brings your total study time to around 4 – 5 years. The difference is that you will receive a qualification higher than a Diploma.

Good morning please after my pre degree
After I pass it am I going to 200level?
Did I also need to write jamb again
Hi Seyi, The success of your Pre-Degree programme may qualify you for admission into the 200level of the Course of study. However, some Universities will also require you to sit for JAMB. I think this method helps in both ways at a time.
Can I use my last year jamb result to register for pre degree program this 2021
Only if your Pre-Degree school accepts your last JAMB result.
Not minding how long it has been
Thanks for your comment.
