Overview

Key facts:

When the University College attained autonomous status in 1962, new degree options were introduced. This new development made it possible to combine English with other approved arts subjects in what was then the Combined Honours School, or to study English as a major/minor teaching subject in a new Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) programme in the Faculty of Education at the University Of Ibadan.
One important achievement of the English Department and, perhaps, its more significant contribution to the growth of the University as a whole has been its role in nurturing units that were later to develop into full-grown disciplinary programmes. This was possible largely because of the quality of training and staff development and recruitment patterns that have guided manpower development and projections in the Department since its inception in 1948.
