Bowen University, an institution under the propritorship of the Nigeria Baptist Convention, is committed to adding a distinctly moral dimension and Godly values to tertiary education in Nigeria.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for supplementary admission into BOWEN UNIVERSITY one-year residential Pre-Degree Programme for the 2014/2015 Academic Session.

THE PROGRAMME'S GOLDEN ADVANTAGES 

This University one year Pre-Degree Programme which is preparatory to degree programmes, is available to candidates who are yet to qualify fuly for admission into degree programmes due to some deficiencies in their WAEC/'NECO/GCE O/L or JAME UTME examinations results, To such candidates, the programme offers at least three golden advartages, namely: 

(a) Sound Academlc Work.  

Through intensive teaching, tutorials and individualized coaching by dedicated full-time graduate teachers, the students learn enough qudly to enable them make-up for their deficiencies by passing with high grades in their subsequent JAMB-UTME and GCE O/L exam nations. as well as the end-of pre-degree programme internal exam nations. This claim is borne out of the University's experience over the past ten years, 2004 to 2014, during which ten sets of students competed their pre-degree programmes and entered into various degree programmes of their choice in this University, where most of them have been performing very well. 

(b) Congenial Campus Life. 

The programme operates in a distinctly peaceful. safe, disciplined and fuly residential campus in Osogbo, where it is served by a commtted team of hostel, medical, security and counselling staff, who make the carrous atmosphere conducive to learning and congenial for decent personal development. It is also observed that the contribution of student leaders that emerge constitutes a positive feedback that accentuates the beauty of campus life, which helps the products to blend into 

the decorum prevailing on the Main Campus in Iwo in the following year. 

(c) Freedom and Flexlbility of Choice 

At the end of the programme, a successful student is guaranteed a place in a Bowen University degree programme, Further more, he is not restricted to it, since he is at the same time qualified and free to proceed to any other University of his choice. 

Bowen University Pre-Degree Programme is hence a golden opportunity waiting to be grasped.
