Please i had a1,B2,C6 in core maths,inter science and english respectively. And B3,B3,C4,C4 in physics,bio,emaths and chem respect. Will get electrical engineering at UMAT
No, it’s unlikely that you will get it.
Really, but will be the best advice for me with the exception of rewrite cos im now 25. Will u opt for me to pursue for diploma course since i dont prefer in doing any health programme or which school will u advice me to buy their forms to to do ma BSc in engineering. I beg help me with ur advise cos im now depressed
You can apply as a mature applicant.
Please I got aggregate 16 can
I offer information systems and technology
I don’t see that listed among their courses.
But one of my friends there said they offer such course
Can you apply without elective maths
you can apply with a total aggregate of 3 core, 3 electives
Please I had A1 in e maths and int science,B2 in chemistry,biology and core maths and B3 in both physics and english.Can I do petroleum engineering and is it only fee paying.Or can I offer electrical engineering?
You cannot offer any. Your aggregate is 12 and the cutoff point for petroleum engineering and electrical engineering is 06/07.
Please I got grade 19
Can I offer environmental engineering or safety engineering
It’s unlikely you’ll gain admission to read environmental engineering or safety engineering with grade 19 at UMaT.
What course can I do with my grade
Can I get the whole courses and their cut off points because it looks like they selected some particular courses and then they’ve given out their cut off point what about the other ones that they don’t have cut up point what will do about that one
We only showed the cutoff points that UMaT provided. I cannot give you information about cutoff points of the other courses if the university does not provide it. Please speak the UMat admissions office directly: +233 3121 97734
Pls I got
aggregate 18 and want to offer civil engineering .if I don’t me the requirements can I substitute some withy novdec results
Yes
Admission Inquiry for BSc. Computer science, Cybersecurity,or Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Engineering
Dear Sir,
I am writing to inquire about my chances of admission to the UMAT Campus for the upcoming academic year. My aggregate score is 16, and I am interested in pursuing either BSc. Computer science, Cybersecurity,or Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Engineering
According to the cut-off points listed, both programs have a cut-off of 14, which is lower than my aggregate score. However, I want to confirm if the cut-off points are fixed or if there is any flexibility.
Could you please let me know if I meet the requirements for admission to either of these programs? I would appreciate any additional information or guidance on the next steps to take.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Unfortunately, you do not meet the requirements for these programmes but then the cutoff points are flexible and depends on many factors. I would suggest you talk to UMaT admissions office: +233 3121 97734
When did umat gave admission last year
Please is Cybersecurity only for science students???
No, it’s not only for science students, business and arts students can also apply. Here are the requirements:
Core Subjects: Credits in English Language, Mathematics and Integrated Science.
Elective Subjects: Credits in any 3 Elective Subjects:
General Science: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, ICT and Elective Mathematics.
General Arts: Economics, Geography, Elective Mathematics, ICT and Government.
Business: Accounting, Business Management, Economics, Costing, ICT and Elective Mathematics.
Can I get the whole courses and their cut off points because it looks like they selected some particular courses and then they’ve given out their cut off point what about the other ones that they don’t have cut up point what will do about that one
It means the university has not provided the cutoff point for those courses so I can’t give you that information. Perhaps you can contact the school directly.
Do umat do Real estate management
No, they don’t.
Please can I apply with aggregate 23
depends on the programme
If l get aggregate 17,can I apply for mechanical engineering at UMaT
No please.
If I get aggregate 14 can I apply for mining
You can but it’s unlikely you’ll gain admission.
I had B3 B2 B2 in English C-maths and integrated science and A1 A1 B2 in Geography Government and E-maths. Will I be considered to offer Geomatic engineering since I want to change from arts to engineering
No. For geomatic engineering, you need Physics, Mathematics, Geography (or Chemistry)
Please I got aggregate 20 can I offer any course at umat
No please.
What entails in the pre engineering university
The One-Year Pre-Engineering Certificate Programme at UMaT prepares non-science students with the fundamentals and the necessary STEM courses needed to undertake and excel in any undergraduate programme at this University. The Programme employs competency-based methodologies in training non-science students, thus, the curriculum has been uniquely designed such that the students experience the rich blend of theory and practically oriented teaching that UMaT offers. Also, to complement the academic work on campus, students are enrolled on various skill training programmes where they are trained and mentored by professionals and experts with diverse engineering backgrounds.

Land economics what is it about
The course covers the concept and statutory definition of land ownership and tenure system; economics as applied to land property; and economic factors affecting the land market with emphasis on the determinants of land values, the housing market, and land use policies. The course will also address issues and concepts relating to ecology and resources as well as their utilization and management and discuss the processes that create dynamics in ecological systems and mechanisms as applied to conservation of the environment and sustainable land resource management.
