Centre for External Affiliations & Sub‑Degree Programmes

It is my pleasure to extend a warm greeting to all prospective JUPEB candidates joining the Centre for External Affiliations and Sub-Degree Programmes of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila-Orangun (FUHSI).

Here, students will undergo a rigorous one-year academic training programme that culminates in an external examination. The Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) is a national examination body authorized by the Federal Government of Nigeria in December 2013 and inaugurated in April 2014 by a consortium of ten universities led by the University of Lagos.

Today, over 120 institutions across Nigeria are affiliated with JUPEB. The Board is mandated to organize credible examinations for students who complete at least one year of accredited courses and are seeking Direct Entry admission into 200-level programmes of Nigerian and selected international universities.

At FUHSI, our Centre is privileged to have qualified academic staff and a dedicated administrative team to guide our students through the programme. The JUPEB subjects offered here include Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
