[1] PREAMBLE
The Department of Mathematical Sciences was
established in the year 2000 as one of the Foundation
Departments of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Kogi
State University, Anyigba.

The Department offers a four-year degree programme

leading to the award of Bachelor of Science (with options
in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science). The
first two years of the programme are devoted to
exposing the students to the fundamentals and basic
principles of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer
Science. An honours’ degree in any one of the three
programmes with a good sprinkling of the other two will
produce more versatile and more marketable graduates.

The Department since 2003/2004 session has been able

to produce quality graduates who are now occupying
various positions in the industries and in the academia.

1.1 PHILOSOPHY
The department strives to produce highly experienced
mathematicians as global advisors in matters relating to
contemporary applications of mathematics and to build a
world-class mathematicians that can reason, conceive
ideas, formulate theories, interpret, transform and apply
mathematical sciences in all phases of life

5
1.2 MAJOR AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE DEGREE
PROGRAMMES

The aims and objectives of the Bachelor honours degree

programmes in Mathematical Sciences include:
(i) To instill in students, a sense of enthusiasm for
Mathematical Sciences, an appreciation of its
application in different areas and involving
them in intellectually stimulating and satisfying
experience of learning and studying.
(ii) To develop in students through education in
Computer Science, a range of applicable and
transferable skills in information technology to
all aspects of human endeavour.
(iii) To develop in students, the ability to apply
their Mathematical/Statistical/Computer
Science knowledge and skills to solving real life
problems.
(iv) To generate in students, an appreciation and
application of Mathematical Sciences skills in
an industrial, economic, technological and
social context:
(v) To train professional Mathematicians, and
Statisticians to reason rigorously and logically,
as well as to be objective and analytical. This
can easily make our graduates branch out to be
successful in business, engineering or in the
financial sector.

6
 (vi) To train graduates who are ICT compliant.

[2] ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students are admitted into the Department through:

(i) University Matriculation Examination (UME)

(ii) The Pre-degree Programme of Kogi State
University, Anyigba.
(iii) Direct Entry: Diploma programme of Kogi State
University, Anyigba or National Diploma from any
Recognized institution.

NB
(a) In either of the cases, the students must have
credit passes in any five science subjects, which
must include Mathematics, English, Physics and
any other two from further mathematics,
chemistry, Biology or Agric science and
Geography.
(b) Currently in both situations (i), (ii) & (iii), they
are further expected to pass the Post – UME
University conducted examination.

[3] EXAMINATION AND GRADING SYSTEM

(i) A course that carries 3 units implies 2 hours of
lectures and 1 hour of tutorial per week.
(ii) Each course is normally examined at the end of
the semester in which it is offered.

7
 (iii) Students progress is assessed through
continuous assessment which is 30% of the
maximum score in each course during the
semester.
(iv) Examinations at the end of the semester carries
70%. Thus, the totality of every grade in each
course is based on 100%.
(v) The score from each course is assigned
appropriate letter grade as follows:

Marks Letter Grade Grade Point

70 – 100 A 5

60 – 69 B 4

50 – 59 C 3

45 – 49 D 2

40 - 44 E 1

NB
The pass mark for each course is 45% (equivalent to
Grade Point of 2). Also, a minimum CGPA of 2.00 is
required for graduation. All examination results have to
be reported to and approved by the Faculty Board of
Examiners and by the Senate.

8
[4] QUALIFICATION FOR STAGNATION, PROBATION
AND WITHDRAWAL

(i) Stagnation:
At the end of a session, students in:
100 Level are expected to have a minimum of 30 units,
otherwise the student becomes stagnated.

At the end of a session, students in:

200 Level are expected to have a minimum of 60 units,
otherwise the student becomes stagnated.

At the end of a session, students in:

300 Level are expected to have a minimum of 90 units,
otherwise the student becomes stagnated.

(ii) Probation:
A student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) is below 1.00 at the end of a particular session
of study, earns a period of probation for one
academic session.

(iii) Withdrawal
A student whose CGPA is below 1.00 at the end of a
particular period of probation shall be required to
withdraw from the university. However, in order to
minimize waste of human resources, consideration
may be given to withdrawal from a programme of
study and possible transfer to any other programme

9
 within the university.
NB
Students are advised to, as much as possible adhere
strictly to the required number of credit units in their
own interest.
