Lagos State University Pre-Degree Admission Form

Lagos State University (LASU) has officially opened its doors to potential students for the 2023/2024 Pre-Degree Studies (PDS) programme. Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria are invited to apply for this one-year intensive programme, slated to begin in October 2023 and conclude in September 2024. The PDS is a significant educational opportunity to compensate for any deficiencies in the candidates’ O’Level results and better prepare them for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The programme will be run at the LASU Epe Campus.

The Significance of Pre-Degree Studies (PDS)

Candidates who choose to participate in the PDS rather than simply sitting for the JAMB examination at home enjoy the added advantage of a reserved quota provided by LASU, increasing their chances of securing admission. This is, of course, contingent on them passing the JAMB exam.

Eligibility and Admission Requirements

To qualify for the programme, candidates must have credits in at least three subjects, including Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Government, Economics, Literature in English, Christian Religious Studies (CRS), Islamic Religious Studies (IRS), and Accounting. These credits must be obtained from the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, GCE or NECO at not more than two sittings.

Candidates meeting these requirements will then be invited for a written qualifying examination.

The subjects offered in the PDS include:

  1. Mathematics
  2. English Language
  3. Physics
  4. Chemistry
  5. Biology
  6. Government
  7. Economics
  8. Literature in English
  9. Christian Religious Studies (CRS)
  10. Islamic Religious Studies (IRS)
  11. Accounting

The Transition to 100 Level

For a smooth transition to 100 Level, candidates are required to sit for the UTME and achieve the minimum JAMB Cut Off Mark for the University Admission. They must also comply with the University Screening Test as prescribed.

All candidates with deficiencies in their O’Level results must register for WAEC and/or NECO, and pass all the relevant deficient subjects. Successful candidates will then be eligible to transition into the 100 Level courses of related Faculties/Schools/College, including Engineering, Science, Management Sciences, Education, Social Sciences, Law, Agriculture, Transport & Logistics, Mass Communication, Nursing, Dentistry, and the College of Medicine.

The Track Record of LASU PDS

The performance of the 2022 PDS candidates speaks volumes about the efficacy of the programme. An impressive 85% of these candidates scored 200 and above in the UTME, with two candidates achieving scores well above 300. This success can be attributed to the rigorous teaching methods and practice tests provided during the programme.

How to Apply

Prospective candidates should visit the LASU website (www.lasu.edu.ng) and choose the “Make Payment” option from the drop-down list to pay the required fee of N15,000. Upon successful payment, candidates can proceed to register online.
