All qualifications that are of a suitable academic level will be considered for entry to degree programmes, and will be considered in the context of appropriate preparation for the degree programme concerned.

If you have any concerns about the acceptability of subjects for a particular degree or aren’t sure if your particular qualifications are recognised by the University, please contact the Enquiries Service for further information.

You need the buzzword when you register on the Apply system so it is clear which school/college you are applying from.

All UK schools and colleges and a small number of EU and international establishments are registered with UCAS. If you are applying from one of these, you should get your school/college UCAS ‘buzzword’ from your teacher or adviser. If you are applying independently, or are applying from a school/college which is not registered to manage applications, you will still use the Apply system but you do not need a ‘buzzword’.
Academic references

Once you have completed your application, submit it to your referee (normally your teacher or adviser if you are applying from a UCAS registered school/college) who will attach your references and submit your completed application to UCAS for you.

If you are applying independently, you are responsible for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS. Note that your referee should know you well enough to write about you, your academic potential and your suitability for higher education. UCAS will not accept references from family, other relatives or friends.
Fees

The standard application fee is £19. This is only £9 if you apply for one course at one university or college only

Animal Science, Fisheries and Wildlife Management was established in 1989 and it took off in 1990. The Department runs both five year post-secondary school and four year post-GCE‘A’ level undergraduate programme leading to the award of B. Agric. Tech. (Animal Science and Range Management).

The Department underwent initial accreditation in September 1995 as a result of which it was renamed Department of Animal Science and Range Management. The department graduated its first set of final year students (graduates) during the 1994/95 academic session.

The Senate of the university approved the M. Tech. /Ph.D. (Animal Production and Management) programmes of the department in 1998 and approval for take off was obtained in 2001. At present there are two Ph.D. students in the Department while those admitted into the M. Tech. programmes are expected to register in October 2002.

The Department places more emphasis on courses related to production and management techniques complemented with fieldwork and relevant laboratory practicals. The graduates trained in the department are thus expected to:

(i) Engage in production, research and extension services that would provide appropriate solutions to the livestock and rural development problems and generally improve upon livestock production in the country.

(ii) Profitably put their practical skills into operation by establishing and operating their own farming enterprises.

(iii) Take up employment anywhere in Nigeria in any aspect of livestock production and other related areas.

It is hoped that the above accomplishments may lead to the realization of the technological aspect of their training in a technological institution.
