UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN - AN INTRODUCTION
The University of Ibadan was founded in 1948 as a College of London University, with 104 students spread among three Faculties: Arts, Science and Medicine. It became an autonomous, degree-granting institution in 1962. Today, the University has a total enrolment of about 20,000 students shared among different faculties - Arts, Science, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Dentistry, Public Health, Pharmacy, Agriculture and Forestry, the Social Sciences, Education, Veterinary Medicine, Technology, Law as well as an Institute of African Studies, Institute of Education, Africa Regional Centre for Information Science, Institute of Advance Medical Research and Training, Centre for Literacy Training and Development in Africa and the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. About 40% of the enrolment is postgraduate students. The University of Ibadan was ranked by the National Universities Commission as the Overall Number 1 in its 2004 Ranking of Nigerian Universities. Ibadan was also ranked No 1 in Dentistry, No 1 in Medicine/Health Sciences; No 1 in Pharmacy, No 1 in the Sciences, No 1 in Veterinary Medicine; No 2 in the Social Sciences, and No 3 among Research Universities. Moreover, Ibadan was ranked No 1 in PhD Graduate Output. Recent Global ranking of Universities places Ibadan the 493rd in the world and 4th in Africa. We are still moving on. Postgraduate programmes at Ibadan have been so successful for a variety of reasons. These include: 1. Financial autonomy The funds realised from postgraduate students at the University of Ibadan are ploughed back to service postgraduate training and research by allocating the greater percentage of such fees into the academic departments and the Postgraduate School. In order to encourage postgraduate students endowed with outstanding research potentials to undertake full-time research leading to a PhD of the University of Ibadan, the Postgraduate School has established two schemes, namely: (a) The University of Ibadan Postgraduate School Scholarship Scheme (b) The University of Ibadan Postgraduate School Teaching and Research Assistantship Scheme Funding Support to Academic Units for the Publication of Learned Journals No less than 15 academic journals are supported annually Maintenance of an active academic environment through the Interdisciplinary Research Discourse Series A comprehensive review of the regulations governing higher degrees After extensive discussions and deliberations by various sub and Ad-Hoc Committees of the Curriculum Committee, Executive Committee and the Board of the Postgraduate School, Senate approved “The 2004 Regulations Governing Higher Degrees” in the University of Ibadan (ISBN 978-37883-0-2). The entire postgraduate curriculum is now 4

being reviewed and revamped taking into cognisance recent trends and developments in the respective disciplines. 6. Workshops on Aspects of Research Methodologies are organized on a regular basis for postgraduate students and teachers viz: • Grant making • Conceptual frameworks in Research • Use of Statistics and ICT • Writing a PhD thesis • Writing academic papers • Development of a unique University of Ibadan Manual of Style (UIMS) • Ethics in Research Research publications. Conference Grants for Postgraduate Teachers. This scheme is to enable postgraduate teachers attend and present their research findings at local and international conferences. Since the introduction of the local and international conference grant in 2000 and 2005, respectively, no less than 105 postgraduate teachers benefit each session. ICT Support to all the academic units (Departments, Faculties, Institutes, Centres and the College of Medicine) to aid in teaching, research and publications.

(h)
Acknowledgement of Application Acknowledgement Cards, stamped with the date of receipt, will be posted as soon as the application is opened. In addition, applicants would be informed electronically (through the e mail addresses provided in the electronically filled Pre-Application form) of progress in the processing of their forms.
(i)
Letters of Recommendation
The Postgraduate School, University of Ibadan, requires three letters of recommendation from faculty members or others well acquainted with the student’s academic work. Forms are provided for this purpose along with the main application form. The Postgraduate School expects applicants to return the recommendations by Referees sealed in separate envelopes, with their signatures across respective seals. Such reports could either come along with the main application forms or be mailed directly to the Secretary, Postgraduate School, University of Ibadan before the deadline for the submission of forms. (j) Transcripts/Certificates Official transcripts and photocopy of certificates of all degrees completed are to be mailed by the applicant with the application form. If the Registrar of an applicant’s University will provide an official copy to the School directly, applicants must enclose along with the application an unofficial or student’s copy of the transcript for temporary reference. To prevent delays, applicants should make adequate arrangements with their Registrars to provide transcripts before the stipulated deadline. 5. ADMISSION CRITERIA The University of Ibadan does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, sex, sexual or affectional preference, age, religion, national or ethnic origin, 8
or physically challenged in the admission of students to all rights, privileges, programmes and activities generally accorded or made available to students in the administration of its educational policies and scholarship facilities. Applications are considered on a competitive basis by the Faculty Admissions Committee which evaluates all available information and selects the best qualified applicants from those whose credentials meet the standards for admission. In every case, decisions are reached through a comparison of the academic merits of all applicants applying in the same field. A bachelor’s degree in a broad programme of general education is normally prerequisite for admission but is not sufficient in itself. Foreign applicants are expected to have bachelor’s degree with at least a Second Class Upper Division from Universities recognised by the Senate. Since the language of instructions in the University of Ibadan is English, proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and understanding English is required for admission. Applicants who are considered for admission but cannot demonstrate proof of adequate proficiency may be required, to complete a course of instruction in English, prior to or concurrent with the beginning of their respective programmes. Academic records are also examined to determine whether the applicant has established a firm basis for graduate work in the proposed field of study. Letters of recommendation or Referee’s Reports are given very serious consideration. When an applicant fails to provide required documents, (transcripts, referees report, etc) his or her admission chances suffer in relation to those whose credentials are complete. Interviews Interviews may be required for some programmes. The Postgraduate School’s Admission Office will arrange such interviews in collaboration with the relevant Departments. Policy on Deferred Admission: The Postgraduate School, University of Ibadan, does not entertain deferment of admissions. Any offer of admission not taken up in the particular year it is given, may be considered to have lapsed. The affected candidates may however, reapply in the following academic year if they are still interested in their respective course of study. Such applications will be considered afresh along with other new forms. No bias would however be introduced. 6.

UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN - AN INTRODUCTION
The University of Ibadan was founded in 1948 as a College of London University, with 104 students spread among three Faculties: Arts, Science and Medicine. It became an autonomous, degree-granting institution in 1962. Today, the University has a total enrolment of about 20,000 students shared among different faculties - Arts, Science, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Dentistry, Public Health, Pharmacy, Agriculture and Forestry, the Social Sciences, Education, Veterinary Medicine, Technology, Law as well as an Institute of African Studies, Institute of Education, Africa Regional Centre for Information Science, Institute of Advance Medical Research and Training, Centre for Literacy Training and Development in Africa and the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. About 40% of the enrolment is postgraduate students. The University of Ibadan was ranked by the National Universities Commission as the Overall Number 1 in its 2004 Ranking of Nigerian Universities. Ibadan was also ranked No 1 in Dentistry, No 1 in Medicine/Health Sciences; No 1 in Pharmacy, No 1 in the Sciences, No 1 in Veterinary Medicine; No 2 in the Social Sciences, and No 3 among Research Universities. Moreover, Ibadan was ranked No 1 in PhD Graduate Output. Recent Global ranking of Universities places Ibadan the 493rd in the world and 4th in Africa. We are still moving on. Postgraduate programmes at Ibadan have been so successful for a variety of reasons. These include: 1. Financial autonomy The funds realised from postgraduate students at the University of Ibadan are ploughed back to service postgraduate training and research by allocating the greater percentage of such fees into the academic departments and the Postgraduate School. In order to encourage postgraduate students endowed with outstanding research potentials to undertake full-time research leading to a PhD of the University of Ibadan, the Postgraduate School has established two schemes, namely: (a) The University of Ibadan Postgraduate School Scholarship Scheme (b) The University of Ibadan Postgraduate School Teaching and Research Assistantship Scheme Funding Support to Academic Units for the Publication of Learned Journals No less than 15 academic journals are supported annually Maintenance of an active academic environment through the Interdisciplinary Research Discourse Series A comprehensive review of the regulations governing higher degrees After extensive discussions and deliberations by various sub and Ad-Hoc Committees of the Curriculum Committee, Executive Committee and the Board of the Postgraduate School, Senate approved “The 2004 Regulations Governing Higher Degrees” in the University of Ibadan (ISBN 978-37883-0-2). The entire postgraduate curriculum is now 4

being reviewed and revamped taking into cognisance recent trends and developments in the respective disciplines. 6. Workshops on Aspects of Research Methodologies are organized on a regular basis for postgraduate students and teachers viz: • Grant making • Conceptual frameworks in Research • Use of Statistics and ICT • Writing a PhD thesis • Writing academic papers • Development of a unique University of Ibadan Manual of Style (UIMS) • Ethics in Research Research publications. Conference Grants for Postgraduate Teachers. This scheme is to enable postgraduate teachers attend and present their research findings at local and international conferences. Since the introduction of the local and international conference grant in 2000 and 2005, respectively, no less than 105 postgraduate teachers benefit each session. ICT Support to all the academic units (Departments, Faculties, Institutes, Centres and the College of Medicine) to aid in teaching, research and publications.

The University has three postgraduate halls of residence with the capacity of 2,800 bed spaces. These halls lie within walking distance of the University Library. The University houses an Arts Theatre and a resident performing company which, all the year round, produce a wide variety of plays generally available in the town (with a population of over two million people, the largest in black Africa). Many other cultural activities take place regularly. Sports are also well catered for. The sports complex has soccer, hockey, cricket, basketball, volleyball pitches, and a gymnasium. Courts are provided for tennis and squash. There is also an Olympic-size swimming pool. The campus is well-laid out with clear inscriptions on roads and monuments. It is a habitat for several rare and endangered plant species.

(d)
Candidates are required to ensure that their referees outside Nigeria forward their reports to the Postgraduate School at least four weeks before the stipulated deadline. The applicant’s full name and proposed course of study should appear on every document submitted, and especially on items that may arrive under separate confidential cover. A candidate may apply to only one department or programme. Personal Information Card This card, which is the basis of all records on applications received, must be legible and complete.

(f) (g)
(h)
Acknowledgement of Application Acknowledgement Cards, stamped with the date of receipt, will be posted as soon as the application is opened. In addition, applicants would be informed electronically (through the e mail addresses provided in the electronically filled Pre-Application form) of progress in the processing of their forms.
(i)
Letters of Recommendation
The Postgraduate School, University of Ibadan, requires three letters of recommendation from faculty members or others well acquainted with the student’s academic work. Forms are provided for this purpose along with the main application form. The Postgraduate School expects applicants to return the recommendations by Referees sealed in separate envelopes, with their signatures across respective seals. Such reports could either come along with the main application forms or be mailed directly to the Secretary, Postgraduate School, University of Ibadan before the deadline for the submission of forms. (j) Transcripts/Certificates Official transcripts and photocopy of certificates of all degrees completed are to be mailed by the applicant with the application form. If the Registrar of an applicant’s University will provide an official copy to the School directly, applicants must enclose along with the application an unofficial or student’s copy of the transcript for temporary reference. To prevent delays, applicants should make adequate arrangements with their Registrars to provide transcripts before the stipulated deadline. 5. ADMISSION CRITERIA The University of Ibadan does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, sex, sexual or affectional preference, age, religion, national or ethnic origin, 8
or physically challenged in the admission of students to all rights, privileges, programmes and activities generally accorded or made available to students in the administration of its educational policies and scholarship facilities. Applications are considered on a competitive basis by the Faculty Admissions Committee which evaluates all available information and selects the best qualified applicants from those whose credentials meet the standards for admission. In every case, decisions are reached through a comparison of the academic merits of all applicants applying in the same field. A bachelor’s degree in a broad programme of general education is normally prerequisite for admission but is not sufficient in itself. Foreign applicants are expected to have bachelor’s degree with at least a Second Class Upper Division from Universities recognised by the Senate. Since the language of instructions in the University of Ibadan is English, proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and understanding English is required for admission. Applicants who are considered for admission but cannot demonstrate proof of adequate proficiency may be required, to complete a course of instruction in English, prior to or concurrent with the beginning of their respective programmes. Academic records are also examined to determine whether the applicant has established a firm basis for graduate work in the proposed field of study. Letters of recommendation or Referee’s Reports are given very serious consideration. When an applicant fails to provide required documents, (transcripts, referees report, etc) his or her admission chances suffer in relation to those whose credentials are complete. Interviews Interviews may be required for some programmes. The Postgraduate School’s Admission Office will arrange such interviews in collaboration with the relevant Departments. Policy on Deferred Admission: The Postgraduate School, University of Ibadan, does not entertain deferment of admissions. Any offer of admission not taken up in the particular year it is given, may be considered to have lapsed. The affected candidates may however, reapply in the following academic year if they are still interested in their respective course of study. Such applications will be considered afresh along with other new forms. No bias would however be introduced. 6.

My topic is over how parents are becoming overwhelmingly obsessed with their children's sports teams. Parents are getting in verbal and physical fights over unfair calls against their child or their child’s team. One coach reports, “She was pitching out there and all of a sudden she broke down crying,” when the coach asked her what was wrong she said, “My dad is embarrassing me to death.” The child, like many others, had a father who spent much of his time during the game yelling and screaming at coaches, and at members of opposing teams. Why are parents so obsessed with their children’s sports? What effect does this have on the child?…

Nicotine exposure elevates cytochrome P450 1A2 levels correlating to prostate cancer progression (Pavanello, et. al 2012). CYP1A2 activity is not affected by nicotine and previous studies suggest high dosage of nicotine treatment has a low potential for communication with parallel CYP1A2 substrates (Hukkanen, et. al 2011). Nicotine has no role in the induction of CYP1A2 that is known to take place in smokers. Smoking is associated with a higher risk of cancer in various tissues, including the stomach, kidney, bladder, and pancreas, that are not in direct contact with tobacco smoke.…

Post University is a small school built upon a small community. Although this school has been around for 125 years, it is very undeveloped compared to the major schools in its surroundings. For this reason, I believe Post University cannot offer me an education that is worthwhile. This school also lacks in many other aspects. These flaws have led me to make the decision of furthering my education elsewhere. I have made the mistake of staying in an institution that benefits more from you than you do them and now that my future is in my hands, I will not let that same mistake happen again. On my new journey, I hope to land somewhere that offers me the resources I need to help in my success, a school that will not limit me yet guide and assist me in all areas sensible. An institution that I can give credit to for my success not only in the field of profession but internally as a person as well.…

The awareness of the courses could be greatly improved through publicity and word of mouth to attract these learners.

My academic endeavours at the institute have been quite encouraging. I have been consistently ranking fifth in my class for the past few semesters at the institute which has culminated in my receipt of an award in the form of books and cash. Ranking among the top few in class was not something new to me as I had been doing so right from my days at school. At school, mathematics and the physical sciences used to be my favorites and I mastered the subjects with unmatched proficiency.…
