Frequently asked Questions
Academics
Students are not limited in their choice of universities. Our Foundation certificate is accepted in most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, the USA and most UK universities except Russell Group universities, which only accept A-Levels. Students interested in Russell group universities are advised to study A levels at the college.
No. The A-levels programme is an intensive 2-year program.
Yes. Some Nigerian universities accept our Foundation Certificate.
Generally, the benefits are numerous; ranging from saving cost on high fees of foreign universities, a curriculum with practical life and 21st-century skills, adequate career counselling, excellent university preparation and progression and a dedicated team with a wealth of experience. Specifically, the OSSD program year at our college is counted as a school year in Canada. The student gets an Ontario Student Record, his/her results are sent directly to the Canadian Ministry of Education and a student file is opened for him/her. All these save more than 60% of the cost of undertaking a college education in Canada and the ancillary costs.
Our Foundation program is affiliated with and validated by a renowned Cambridge college. The program undergoes annual standardization inspections to ensure that it does not operate differently from the program at the Cambridge UK campus which is one of the reasons for its wide acceptance. Our programs are coordinated totally with the UK campus programs and students write joint exams with the students in the UK. The Cambridge College teachers mark our student’s scripts and the certificates carry the logos of both colleges. They are also jointly signed by the principals of The Regent College, Abuja and that of our UK partner college.
Our Cambridge A-level Program is a standardized A-level course with carefully selected, experienced, and dedicated A-Level teachers. Our college is an award-winning one. In 2023/2024 The Regent College earned multiple Top-in-Nigeria and High Achievement awards, including
- Top-in-Nigeria Biology
- Top-in-Nigeria Chemistry
- Top-in-Nigeria Mathematics
- Top-in-Nigeria Physics
