SCHOOL OF BASIC STUDIES


Are you tired of sitting for UTME and Post-UTME without success? Has your dream of securing admission into a university been frustrated?

Then, IJMB may be your solution to your university admission difficulties because, with your IJMB Certificate, you do not need UTME to secure admission into a university. The School of Basic Studies runs the Rhema University Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) one-year intensive Advanced Level Programme, which leads to the award of an Interim Matriculation Board Examination Certificate.

The IJMB programme is the equivalent of Cambridge University and the University of London A ‘Level GCE. It is a recognized and approved qualification listed in the JAMB Brochure for gaining 200-level direct entry admission into Nigerian Universities.

Rhema University is the first university in Southeast Nigeria to be accredited to run the IJMB programme.
