   Employability Skills
   In Nigeria, like in many other countries, there is an abundance of opportunities for people with computing skills. However, given the intense competition in the job market, a good Computer Science degree may be necessary but not sufficient for employment. In addition to a good degree, employers are increasingly requiring candidates to demonstrate employability skills such as communication and teamwork, organisation and management, critical thinking,
   leadership, technology skills and self-management. The courses in this programme have been tailored to help develop and enhance acquisition of these skills by graduates of the programme.

4 Year Degree Programme

In addition to appropriate UTME-Score, a candidate must possess five Senior Secondary Certificate (SSC)-credits passes including English Language, Mathematics, Physics and any other relevant Science subjects in not more than two sittings.

3 Year Degree Programme:

Direct Entry
A minimum of a credit at the University/National Diploma or NCE with other five Senior Secondary Certificate (SSC) credit passes in relevant Science subjects three of which must be in English Language, Mathematics, Physics.
Minimum duration
The minimum duration of the Computer Science degree programme is four academic sessions for UTME. However, it is three academic sessions for candidates admitted to the 200 Level.

To be eligible for the award of the Bachelor degree in Computer Science, a student must have:passed all the core courses, university and faculty/school required courses and
electives;
