Bayero University, Kano has officially announced the commencement of the sale of application forms for its 1-year Remedial Science Programme for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The programme is specifically designed to provide students with a solid A-level foundation, prepare them for the University Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), and equip them with essential practical skills. Crucially, it serves as a pathway for students to remedy O-level credit deficiencies.

Entry and Admission Requirements: Prospective applicants must hold an SSCE O-level result or its equivalent. Eligibility is broken down into two categories: Category A - applicants with a minimum of five O-level credits in relevant science subjects (including English and Mathematics) obtained in not more than two sittings, and Category B - applicants with fewer than five O-level credits, who must remedy their deficiencies before they can be considered for admission into a full degree programme.

Successful completion of the remedial programme, combined with meeting the minimum Bayero University UTME cut-off points, qualifies candidates for admission into Level 100 science-based degree programmes for the 2026/2027 session.

Available Programmes: The programme is domiciled within the College of Natural and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Students will undergo comprehensive instruction in Mathematics and three elective subjects chosen from Biology, Chemistry, Geography, and Physics.
