The University of Africa, Toru-Orua (UAT), Bayelsa State, has commenced the sale of application forms for its Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) programme for the 2026/2027 academic session. Interested candidates can now apply for admission into the one year foundation programme designed to provide an alternative route into university education.

For many students, gaining admission through UTME can be challenging due to competition, cut off marks and admission quotas. The JUPEB programme offers another pathway that allows qualified candidates to secure Direct Entry admission into 200 Level after successful completion. Candidates admitted into the programme will undergo intensive academic preparation for one year before progressing to their chosen degree programme.
