Admissions and Graduation Requirements
Candidates are admitted into the degree programme in either of the following two ways: 1. Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Mode (5 Year Degree Programme) 2. Direct Entry (DE) Mode (4 Year Degree Programme).
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Mode
For the five-year degree programme, in addition to acceptable passes in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the minimum admission requirement is credit level passes in Senior School Certificate (SSC) in at least five subjects, which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and other acceptable science subjects at not more than two sittings.
Direct Entry (DE) Mode
For four-year Direct Entry, in addition to five (5) Senior School Certificate (SSC) credit passes which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, candidates with at least two passes in relevant subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) at the GCE Advanced Level or JUPEB may be considered for admission. Candidates who have good National Diploma (ND) result in relevant Engineering Technology programmes may also be considered for admission into 200 level. Candidates who have good JUPEB results may also be considered for admission into 100 level.
Graduation Requirements
The following regulations shall govern the conditions for the award of a honours degree in Engineering and Technology:
1. Candidates admitted through the UTME mode shall have registered for a minimum of 150 and maximum of 180 units of courses during the 5–year engineering degree programme. Such candidates shall have spent a minimum of ten academic semesters.
2. Candidates admitted through the Direct entry mode shall have registered for a minimum of 120 and a maximum of 150 units of courses during a 4–year engineering degree programme. Such candidates shall have spent a minimum of eight academic semesters.
3. The minimum and maximum credit load per semester is 15 and 24 credit units respectively.
4. A student shall have completed and passed all the Courses registered for, including all compulsory courses and such elective /optional courses as may be specified by the university/faculty or department; obtained a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) specified by the university but not less than 1.00.
5. A student shall also have earned the 15 credit units of Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), 8 credit units of University General Study courses and four credit units of Entrepreneurship courses.
For the purpose of calculating a student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in order to determine the class of Degree to be awarded, grades obtained in ALL the courses registered, whether compulsory or optional and whether passed or failed must be included in the computation. Even when a student repeats the same course once or more before passing it or substitutes another course for a failed optional course, grades scored at each and all attempts shall be included in the computation of the GPA. Prerequisite courses must be taken and passed before a particular course at a higher level.
