 UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN - AN INTRODUCTION

The University of Ibadan was founded in 1948 as a College of London University, with 104
students spread among three Faculties: Arts, Science and Medicine. It became an autonomous,
degree-granting institution in 1962. Today, the University has a total enrolment of about 20,000
students shared among different faculties - Arts, Science, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical
Sciences, Dentistry, Public Health, Pharmacy, Agriculture and Forestry, the Social Sciences,
Education, Veterinary Medicine, Technology, Law as well as an Institute of African Studies,
Institute of Education, Africa Regional Centre for Information Science, Institute of Advance
Medical Research and Training, Centre for Literacy Training and Development in Africa and the
Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. About 40% of the enrolment is postgraduate students.

The University of Ibadan was ranked by the National Universities Commission as the Overall
Number 1 in its 2004 Ranking of Nigerian Universities. Ibadan was also ranked No 1 in
Dentistry, No 1 in Medicine/Health Sciences; No 1 in Pharmacy, No 1 in the Sciences, No 1 in
Veterinary Medicine; No 2 in the Social Sciences, and No 3 among Research Universities.
Moreover, Ibadan was ranked No 1 in PhD Graduate Output. Recent Global ranking of
Universities places Ibadan the 493rd in the world and 4th in Africa. We are still moving on.
Postgraduate programmes at Ibadan have been so successful for a variety of reasons. These
include:

1. Financial autonomy

The funds realised from postgraduate students at the University of Ibadan are ploughed
back to service postgraduate training and research by allocating the greater percentage of
such fees into the academic departments and the Postgraduate School.

2. In order to encourage postgraduate students endowed with outstanding research

potentials to undertake full-time research leading to a PhD of the University of Ibadan,
the Postgraduate School has established two schemes, namely:

(a) The University of Ibadan Postgraduate School Scholarship Scheme

(b) The University of Ibadan Postgraduate School Teaching and Research
Assistantship Scheme
3. Funding Support to Academic Units for the Publication of Learned Journals

No less than 15 academic journals are supported annually

4
4. Maintenance of an active academic environment through the Interdisciplinary
Research Discourse Series

5. A comprehensive review of the regulations governing higher degrees. After extensive

discussions and deliberations by various sub and Ad-Hoc Committees of the Curriculum
Committee, Executive Committee and the Board of the Postgraduate School, Senate approved
“The 2004 Regulations Governing Higher Degrees” in the University of Ibadan (ISBN 978-
37883-0-2). The entire postgraduate curriculum is now being reviewed and revamped taking into
cognisance recent trends and developments in the respective disciplines.

6. Workshops on Aspects of Research Methodologies are organized on a regular basis

for postgraduate students and teachers viz:

 Grant making
 Conceptual frameworks in Research
 Use of Statistics and ICT
 Writing a PhD thesis
 Writing academic papers
 Development of a unique University of Ibadan Manual of Style (UIMS)
 Ethics in Research
7. Research publications.

8. Conference Grants for Postgraduate Teachers.

This scheme is to enable postgraduate teachers attend and present their research findings
at local and international conferences. Since the introduction of the local and
international conference grant in 2000 and 2005, respectively, no less than 105
postgraduate teachers benefit each session.

9. ICT Support to all the academic units (Departments, Faculties, Institutes, Centres and the
College of Medicine) to aid in teaching, research and publications.

The University has three postgraduate halls of residence with the capacity of 2,800 bed spaces.
These halls lie within walking distance of the University Library.

The University houses an Arts Theatre and a resident performing company which, all the year
round, produce a wide variety of plays generally available in the town (with a population of over
two million people, the largest in black Africa). Many other cultural activities take place
regularly. Sports are also well catered for. The sports complex has soccer, hockey, cricket,
basketball, volleyball pitches, and a gymnasium. Courts are provided for tennis and squash.
There is also an Olympic-size swimming pool. The campus is well-laid out with clear
inscriptions on roads and monuments. It is a habitat for several rare and endangered plant
species.

8
 (i) Letters of Recommendation

The Postgraduate School, Universit y o f Ibadan, requires three letters o f

reco mmendat io n fro m facult y members or others well acquainted w it h the
student’s academic work. Forms are provided for this purpose alo ng wit h the
main applicat io n form. The Postgraduate Schoo l expects applicants to return
the reco mmendat ions by Referees sealed in separate envelo pes, wit h their
signatures across respect ive seals. Such reports could eit her co me alo ng wit h
the main applicat io n forms or be mailed direct ly to the Secretary,
Postgraduate School, Universit y o f Ibadan before the deadline for the
submissio n o f forms.

(j) Transcripts/Certificates

Official transcripts and photocopy o f certificates o f all degrees co mpleted are

to be mailed by the applicant wit h the applicat ion form. If the Registrar o f
an applicant’s Universit y will provide an o fficial copy to the School direct ly,
applicants must enclose alo ng wit h the applicat ion an unofficial or
student’s copy o f the transcript for temporary reference. To prevent delays,
applicants should make adequate arrangements wit h their Registrars to
provide transcripts before the st ipulated deadline.

5. ADMISSION CRITERIA

The Universit y o f Ibadan does not discriminate on the basis o f race, co lour,
sex, sexual or affect ional preference, age, religio n, nat ional or ethnic origin,
or physically challenged in the admissio n of students to all rights, privileges,
programmes and act ivit ies generally accorded or made available to students
in the administrat ion o f its educat ional policies and scho larship facilit ies.
Applicat ions are considered on a co mpetit ive basis by the Facult y
Admissio ns Co mmittee which evaluates all available informat io n and selects
the best qualified applicants fro m those whose credent ials meet the standards
for admissio n.

In every case, decisions are reached through a comparison of the academic merits of all
applicants applying in the same field. A bachelor’s degree in a broad programme of
general education is normally prerequisite for admission but is not sufficient in itself.
Foreign applicants are expected to have bachelor’s degree with at least a Second Class
Upper Division from Universities recognised by the Senate. Since the language of
instructions in the University of Ibadan is English, proficiency in reading, writing,
speaking and understanding English is required for admission. Applicants who are
considered for admission but cannot demonstrate proof of adequate proficiency may be
9
 required, to complete a course of instruction in English, prior to or concurrent with the
beginning of their respective programmes. Academic records are also examined to
determine whether the applicant has established a firm basis for graduate work in the
proposed field of study. Letters of recommendation or Referee’s Reports are given very
serious consideration.

When an applicant fails to provide required documents, (transcripts, referees report, etc) his or
her admission chances suffer in relation to those whose credentials are complete.

Interviews

Interviews may be required for some programmes. The Postgraduate School’s Admission Office
will arrange such interviews in collaboration with the relevant Departments.

Policy on Deferred Admission:

The Postgraduate School, University of Ibadan, does not entertain deferment of admissions. Any
offer of admission not taken up in the particular year it is given, may be considered to have
lapsed. The affected candidates may however, reapply in the following academic year if they are
still interested in their respective course of study.

Such applications will be considered afresh along with other new forms. No bias would however
be introduced.
