Programme Details
Duration and Purpose
The Pre-Degree Studies (PDS) Programme will run for one academic session, from October 2024 to September 2025.

It prepares them to re-sit for the examination and get ready for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for admission into 100-level degree programmes at Lagos State University.
Location
The programme will be held at the Lagos State University, Epe Campus.
