Functions
The Unit started operation in May, 1987 under the name ‘Remedial Year Programme’ and later changed to “Remedial Science Programme’  The Senate later changed the name to Pre-Degree Science Programme because of the misunderstanding of the name ‘Remedial’ by prospective candidates.

The Pre-degree Science Programme Unit was established to prepare students from the catchments area in the sciences preparatory to their entry to the five year degree programmes of the University who for one reason or the other could not gain admission to the University through JAMB and also for those with one deficiency or the other in the sciences.

In the 2000/2001 Academic session, Pre-degree Management Programme was introduced by the University to prepare Management Students who would eventually be absorbed into the school of Management and Information Technology.  The subjects offered are Economics, Commerce, Geography, Biology, Accounting in addition to Mathematics and English.
