Searching for UNICAL predegree courses? Well, I got the answers you need.
Meanwhile, bear in mind that University of Calabar predegree program is mostly for science students. Therefore, most UNICAL predegree courses are science based.
Before I show you the list of courses, let me explain what predegree means to help you better understand this blog.
Predegree is a one year remedial program at University of Calabar. On completion, successful candidates are admitted to start 100 level in a degree program.
However, not all UNICAL regular full-time degree courses are available for admission through predegree. It is those courses you can get admission into through predegree that is on this page.
Let me also add that the minimum entry requirement for UNICAL predegree admission five credits at O’level in relevant subjects. Also, you are required to write JAMB as well.
You can also apply for predegree if you O’level result is not complete, provided you have plans to cover that deficiency by taking WAEC, NECO, GCE, or NABTEB again.
I already wrote a comprehensive article on predegree admission: What is predegree in Nigeria? here is all you need to know. I recommend you check it out if entering school through predegree is your plan.
One thing you should know is that UNICAL predegree is not really stressful. At least compared to the first year of a regular degree program.
In UNICAL, predegree lectures hold 7 – 8 am each day, Monday – Friday and 8 am – 2 pm on Saturdays.

Hello.
Is the predegree form still open and available for this year?
My sister is looking to take advantage of the predegree program
Her O’level certificate is intact, and she did jamb last year but had 150 as her jamb score.
Kindly help with clarity.
The form will be available later this year. Awesome, in that case she should gear up to apply for it, normally from around July.
Please is pre degree form still on sale?
Please can I study radiography in pre degree and I will resume from second semester will it be possible

Because that’s the way universities arranged it.
Please is the pre degree form still available for pickup
Application for next session will open soon.

After predegree, you are offered admission into 100 level degree course. So you start from 100 level after predegree, not 200 level. I hope you’re clearified.

Lectures have already started for UNICAL predegree students.

Good day sir. I want to apply for pre degree in unical for the upcoming session and I Want to study estate management as my preferred course which I saw in the lists of courses. I want to know what are the odds that I don’t score better in jamb for next year while in the program that I can still get admitted into this same Estate MGT
Your chances of gaining admission even though you don’t score well in jamb is high. That’s probably the only advantage of predegree.
Nursing is not among the list in predegree programs why
Because Nursing is not available for admission through UNICAL predegree
Sir I want study pharmacy but my score was very low
Pls can I pick pregree form? If yes, which course should I go for?
You can pick predegree form. And you don’t have to pick any course because courses are not normally chosen during UNICAL predegree application (unlike some other schools). You only get to choose course during the predegree second semester.

My intention was to study Dentistry and Dental Surgery or Medical Laboratory Technology (Med. Lab. Tech.) in unical but I scored below average in my jamb, so what course can I choose to stand a chance of getting admission into one of this medical courses during my degree proper?
Tankio
You can opt for Human Nutritional and Dietetics, Pharmacology, Physiotherapy (don’t have full accreditation yet), Physiology, Anatomy or Pharmacy (don’t have full accreditation yet). They are all less competitive compared to Dentistry and Med. Lab. Sci. in UNICAL. Meanwhile, none of these courses are available through UNICAL predegree.
I want to study nursing in Unical but I didn’t reach cut off mark .if I’m to do predegree which course will I do to get nursing after one year
Maybe Microbiology, Genetics and Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology or other science courses. That’s because there is no admission into medical course through UNICAL predegree.
I did not write jamb this year but I applied for pre degree is there an issue with that( i.e not writing jamb)
There is no issue with that. Though you will still have to regularize your admission on jamb portal during your predegree year.
What if you applied for a medical course ( Your subject combination does not require mathematics) and after the pre degree program you decide to apply for a science course which requires mathematics, will you be offered admission or not?
In predegree (during second semester) you will be given a form to fill where you select course. You are required to select a course that you meet it’s subject requirements.
Am to read med and surg but didn’t get the cutoff,i scored just 210 since its not included in the options for remedial,what do i do?
You are qualified for UNICAL post utme with 210 for medicine and surgery. Wait for post utme, apply and hopefully you can get admission.
I was going to study Nursing Science buh since I didn’t score well In my Jamb what course do you think I can register for to do predegree
You simply register for predegree. During second semester, you will be given an option to chose a course (mainly science courses).
Please is nursing science not available in predegree?
Nursing is not one of the courses available for admission through UNICAL predegree.
Is medicine and surgery not included
Medicine and surgery is not available for admission through predegree in UNICAL.
Is public administration not included
There’s no admission into public administration through UNICAL predegree
