Bachelor's degree

The undergraduate programmes serve society by graduating students who possess a broad range of technical and interpersonal skills; who deal effectively inside and outside the organization, and across national and international boundaries; and who, through their work study programme, have had real world experiences in industrial or service organizations. The programme imparts knowledge, tools, skills and attitudes that create productive employees and managerial leaders.

Programmes of courses are provided which lead to a Bachelor's degree in the Colleges and Schools: the College of Business Administration, the School of English Programme, the College of Computer Science & Technology and the College of Education.

Students are normally admitted to either the 100-level of courses or the 200-level depending upon entry qualifications. The Academic Board may, on the recommendation of the Board of Studies, permit students to start with other levels of courses.

Students who transfer from other universities, or who enter with an HND or other approved professional qualifications to a level higher than 200-level, may apply towards degree requirements those credits passed before transfer which are within the curriculum of the faculty concerned.

A candidate whose work or progress is declared unsatisfactory by the department concerned may be required by the Board of Academic Studies, on the recommendation of the appropriate Faculty Board, to withdraw from the partner university or college, or to repeat any part of their programme. Failure in examination may be regarded as evidence of unsatisfactory progress.

A student who has failed to achieve the prescribed minimum faculty requirements at the end of their first year shall be required to withdraw from the faculty.

A student who has been asked to withdraw for reason of unsatisfactory academic progress may be considered for re-admission into another faculty only as a special case. If that student is again unsuccessful at the end of the first year in their new degree programme, they will be required to withdraw from the partner university or college.

Continuous evaluation: the progress of the students enrolled in each course is continuously assessed by means of tests, written assignments, reports, and such other means as may be consistent with the objectives and conduct of the course as determined by the department.

Final mark: each course is graded on the basis of 100-level marks, with proportions for continuous assessment and course examination as determined by the Faculty Board. The minimum pass mark in any course is 40%.

Course examinations leading to a first degree in the faculty are held at the end of each semester, online. A candidate who for grave cause was unable to present themselves for examination at the end of a semester may, with the special permission of the Board of Academic Studies, present themselves at the next available opportunity.

Every candidate entering for examination and in good standing is supplied with an entry form which must be returned duly filled. In completing the form, a candidate must state clearly the course they wish to offer and give full details of examinations previously taken. The completed form is forwarded to the Secretary of the Academic Board. A list of all students registered for an examination is issued by the Secretary of the Academic Board, or their representative, three weeks before the examination begins.
