UI application for admission into open distance learning platform, 2022/2023

The University of Ibadan (UI) expands its’ frontiers of qualitative undergraduate programmes through two modes of educational deliveries: the traditional face-to-face mode and the innovative Open and Distance eLearning (ODeL) mode.

The two modes are viable alternatives for pursuing a University of Ibadan degree, hence the entrenchment of the “Parity of Esteem” policy in the University. The policy stipulates that students on the two modes of study have equal rights and privileges in the University.

Specifically, students in both face-to-face and open distance eLearning modes go through the same curriculum, examinations, and course lecturers/facilitators; earn the same prestigious UI certificate and are both eligible for mobilization for NYSC.

In a bid to increase access through the UI ODeL programmes, the general public should be informed that applications for admission will be opened on March 13, 2023, for suitably qualified candidates to the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre for the 2022/2023 Academic Session.

Applicants can apply for the sixteen University Programmes in ODeL mode across five faculties as follows:

*Faculty of Arts*

• 1. B.A English 
• 2. B.A Philosophy and Public Affairs 
• 3. B.A History and Diplomatic Studies

Statutory admission requirements for undergraduate courses at the 100 level are credit passes in five (5) relevant WAEC/NECO/GCE subjects, and distinctions or upper credits in A’ Levels, NCE, OND, HND, Degrees, in addition to the relevant O’Level credit passes for the 200 level direct entry candidates. The Bachelor of Nursing Science is open to Registered Nurses (RN) and Direct Entry applicants only.

Applicants are to apply through the university link: https://modeofstudy.ui.edu.ng.

Special consideration will be given to candidates who scored not lower than 40% aggregate mark in the University POST UTME examination but could not gain admission on the face-to-face mode due to constraint of space. Candidates in this category would be required to change their mode of study on the application portal.
