2015 List Of Universities With Approved Postgraduate Programmes

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has
observed with great concern that some Nigerian
universities are running unapproved postgraduate

programmes, leading to the award of Masters and
PhD degrees.

The Commission has also observed that some
Parastatals and Institutes are awarding these same
Postgraduate degrees, either on their own or
through unapproved affiliations with Nigerian and
foreign Universities. Such practices are not only
unethical, but also antithetical to time-tested quality
assurance best practices.

The qualifications/awards resulting there from are
not recognized. The Commission
hereby notifies the general public that only the
following universities have approval
to offer postgraduate programmes at the Masters’
and Ph.D levels in Nigeria, as of 5th June, 2015:
