What are ONCAMPUS pathway programs?
Why Nigerian students choose ONCAMPUS
Most Nigerian students hold WAEC, NECO or a local diploma — qualifications that many UK universities do not accept for direct entry to a degree programme. ONCAMPUS pathway programmes bridge that gap: taught on the university’s own campus, they prepare students academically and linguistically for UK higher education, with direct progression to the degree on successful completion.
Being on campus from day one means students build relationships with the university, its facilities and its community before their degree even begins — which significantly eases the transition into full degree study.
Foundation vs pre-master’s — which one?
International Foundation Programme — for students who have completed secondary school (WAEC/NECO/A Levels) and want to enter a UK undergraduate degree. Duration: approximately one academic year. On completion: direct entry to Year 1 of the linked degree.
Pre-Master’s Programme — for students with a Nigerian undergraduate degree who want to enter a UK postgraduate programme. Duration: one or two terms. On completion: direct entry to a master’s or postgraduate diploma.
