ABUAD Foundation Programs 2025/2026: Pre-Degree, JUPEB, and Alternative Pathways

Afe Babalola University offers multiple foundation pathways for students seeking university admission through alternative routes for the 2025/2026 session.

These programs provide structured preparation for university education, with some options offering direct entry to 200-level studies.

Available Foundation Programs

Pre-Degree Programme

This intensive program prepares students for JAMB UTME while providing additional academic foundation. ABUAD reports a 95-98% transition rate from Pre-Degree to university admission.

Successful Pre-Degree students gain exemption from ABUAD's Post-UTME examination, streamlining their path to undergraduate enrollment.

JUPEB/Degree Foundation Programme

This pathway allows qualified students to enter university at 200-level, bypassing the traditional 100-level entry. ABUAD reports over 95% annual success rates for students completing this program.

Students who satisfy minimum university admission requirements - five O'Level credits in one sitting or six credits across two sittings, including English Language and Mathematics - qualify for consideration.

Cambridge Advanced Level

This one-year accelerated program serves students targeting admission to both Nigerian and international universities. The Cambridge qualification carries global recognition, opening opportunities beyond Nigeria.

Basic Study Programme

Students needing to improve or complete O'Level requirements can enroll in this nine-month program. It provides focused preparation for WAEC or NECO retakes.

Why Consider Foundation Programs

Foundation programs suit students who scored below university cut-off marks in JAMB, obtained inadequate O'Level results, or want stronger academic preparation before university.

The structured environment, intensive instruction, and focused curriculum help students develop study habits and content mastery that support university success.

Direct 200-level entry through JUPEB saves one academic year compared to the traditional 100-level path, provided you successfully complete the foundation requirements.
