FUAHSE postgraduate admission for the 2026/2027 academic session is open, with the School of Postgraduate Studies at the Federal University of Allied Health Sciences, Enugu once again inviting applications across an unusually wide spread of health-focused disciplines. If you’re trying to figure out exactly which programmes are available, what CGPA you need, how much the form costs, and how to actually complete the application, this guide walks through the full FUAHSE postgraduate admission process end to end for the current cycle.
It’s worth flagging upfront that FUAHSE (Federal University of Allied Health Sciences, Enugu) is a distinct institution from FUHSA (Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare, Bauchi State), the two acronyms are easy to mix up, but they’re different universities with separate admission portals. This guide covers FUAHSE specifically. Below, you’ll find every available programme by faculty and department, the CGPA requirement for each qualification level, the current fee, the step-by-step application process on the official 2026/2027 portal, and answers to the most common questions applicants have about FUAHSE postgraduate admission this cycle.

About This Admission Exercise
FUAHSE postgraduate admission for the 2026/2027 session runs through the university’s School of Postgraduate Studies and covers Postgraduate Diploma (PGD), Master of Science (M.Sc.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and, for Social Work specifically, the Doctor of Social Work (DSW) qualification. The university’s dedicated postgraduate application portal (eportal.fuahse.edu.ng) is confirmed live and titled for the 2026/2027 session at the time of writing.
⚠️ Note on dates and fees: FUAHSE has not published an official closing date for the 2026/2027 postgraduate application window at the time of writing, even though the portal itself is open and accepting applications. Similarly, no updated fee figure specific to this cycle has been published, the ₦25,000 application fee below is carried forward from the 2025/2026 cycle as a reasonable estimate (a comparable federal allied-health university’s 2026/2027 postgraduate fee matches this exact figure), not an officially confirmed 2026/2027 amount for FUAHSE. Confirm both the fee and the closing date on the official portal before paying.
What stands out about FUAHSE postgraduate admission is the sheer breadth of specialised health disciplines on offer, this isn’t a generalist postgraduate school bolted onto a health faculty, but a dedicated allied health sciences university offering postgraduate pathways in everything from prosthetics and orthotics to biomedical engineering, dental therapy, and healthcare management, each with its own departmental home and, in several cases, multiple specialisation tracks within a single degree.
It’s also worth knowing that FUAHSE as a university has grown since the 2025/2026 cycle, the NUC has since approved a wider set of programmes across the institution, including newer departments such as Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Biotechnology, and Human Anatomy alongside the university’s original allied-health core. Whether any of these newer departments now offer postgraduate tracks for 2026/2027 isn’t confirmed in the official postgraduate notice this guide is based on, so if your interest lies in one of these newer areas, it’s worth checking directly with the School of Postgraduate Studies rather than assuming it isn’t offered.
This level of specificity matters for prospective applicants in a practical way: unlike a general university where a Master’s in “Health Sciences” might cover a broad curriculum, FUAHSE postgraduate admission routes candidates into narrowly defined tracks from the outset, a candidate interested in prosthetics, for instance, chooses between a Rehabilitative or Industrial specialisation at the point of application, rather than selecting a broad discipline and narrowing down later.
Why FUAHSE’s Postgraduate Catalogue Looks Different From a General University
Most Nigerian federal universities run their postgraduate schools as an umbrella over faculties that also serve undergraduates in a wide range of unrelated fields: Engineering sits alongside Arts, Sciences alongside Law. FUAHSE postgraduate admission works differently because the university itself is purpose-built around allied health disciplines, which is why even departments that might sit under a single “Health Sciences” faculty elsewhere: Dental Technology, Restorative Dentistry, Rehabilitative Dentistry, Community Dental Health each get their own dedicated postgraduate track here. The same applies to Public Health, which at FUAHSE splits into Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Occupational Health and Safety, and Environmental Health as distinct specialisation options rather than elective modules within a single generalist degree.
For applicants, this depth is a genuine advantage if you already know your specific area of interest, you’re less likely to end up in a generic programme that only loosely matches your career goals. But it also means FUAHSE postgraduate admission rewards applicants who’ve done their homework on which specific specialisation, not just which broad field, fits their background and ambitions.
Who Is Covered / Eligible Programmes
FUAHSE postgraduate admission spans six faculties. Here’s the complete breakdown by department, based on the most recently confirmed postgraduate programme list.
Faculty of Healthcare Management and Leadership
Department of Social Work offers PGD, M.Sc., Ph.D., and DSW in Social Work — making it one of the few departments under FUAHSE postgraduate admission to offer the Doctor of Social Work qualification alongside the standard PhD route.
Department of Healthcare Management offers PGD, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Healthcare Management, with three specialisation tracks:
- Human Resources for Health
- Healthcare Finance
- Health Policy, Planning and Administration
Faculty of Rehabilitative Health
Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics offers a PGD in Prosthetics and Orthotics, plus an M.Sc. in Prosthetics and Orthotics with two specialisation options:
- Rehabilitative Prosthetics and Orthotics
- Industrial Prosthetics and Orthotics
Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences
FUAHSE postgraduate admission under this faculty covers three departments:
- Department of Microbiology: PGD, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Microbiology
- Department of Surgical Pathology: M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Surgical Pathology
- Department of Biochemistry: M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biochemistry
Note: The Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences at FUAHSE also now includes Departments of Parasitology and Entomology, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Biotechnology at the undergraduate level. Whether these offer postgraduate admission for 2026/2027 isn’t confirmed in the postgraduate notice this guide is based on — confirm directly with the School of Postgraduate Studies if you’re interested in one of these newer departments.
Faculty of Health Care Services
Department of Public Health offers a PGD in Public Health, plus M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Public Health with three specialisation tracks:
- Epidemiology and Biostatistics
- Occupational Health and Safety
- Environmental Health
Faculty of Dental Health
This faculty has the most granular set of specialisations under FUAHSE postgraduate admission:
Department of Dental Technology offers PGD, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Dental Technology, plus M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Restorative Dentistry (with specialisation in either Surgery or Technology) and M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Rehabilitative Dentistry (also with Surgery or Technology specialisation).
Department of Dental Therapy offers PGD, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Dental Therapy, plus M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Community Dental Health.
Faculty of Health Engineering and Technology
Department of Biomedical Engineering offers PGD, M.Eng., and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering — the only engineering-designated degree (M.Eng. rather than M.Sc.) among the confirmed FUAHSE postgraduate admission programmes.
Note: This faculty now also houses Departments of Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, and Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the undergraduate level. As with Basic Medical Sciences above, postgraduate availability in these newer departments isn’t confirmed for 2026/2027, check with the School of Postgraduate Studies directly.
FUAHSE Postgraduate Admission Requirements
FUAHSE postgraduate admission sets a minimum CGPA requirement by qualification level, applied consistently across departments:
| Programme Level | Minimum CGPA Required |
|---|---|
| Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) | 2.5 |
| M.Sc. | 3.0 |
| Ph.D. | 3.5 |
| DSW | 3.5 |
This tiered structure means FUAHSE postgraduate admission gets progressively more competitive as you move up in qualification level, a PGD applicant needs a CGPA of at least 2.5, while both the Ph.D. and DSW routes require 3.5, putting doctoral-level entry into FUAHSE postgraduate admission on par with some of the more selective Nigerian postgraduate schools in terms of the academic bar for doctoral candidates.
Beyond CGPA, FUAHSE (in line with the general baseline the university applies across its programmes) also expects candidates to hold at least five O’Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, alongside subject combinations relevant to their chosen field, and to satisfy the university’s general matriculation requirement. This O’Level baseline is FUAHSE’s standard institutional requirement rather than something restated separately for every postgraduate department, so it applies alongside the CGPA table above.
Documents You’ll Typically Need
While the official 2026/2027 notice this guide is based on focuses on the CGPA requirement itself, Nigerian postgraduate applications generally also require the following supporting documents, confirm the exact list for your department with the School of Postgraduate Studies before applying:
- Degree certificate and academic transcript from your first degree (and, for Ph.D./DSW candidates, your Master’s transcript)
- O’Level result(s) showing the required credit passes
- NYSC discharge or exemption certificate, where applicable
- A valid means of identification and passport photograph
- Reference letters, particularly for Ph.D. and DSW applicants
Note: The published CGPA requirement is the university-wide baseline. Departments with specialisation tracks (such as Healthcare Management, Public Health, or Dental Technology) may apply additional criteria specific to a chosen specialisation, confirm directly with the relevant department before submitting your application if you’re unsure your background fits a particular track.
How to Apply for FUAHSE Postgraduate Admission
The application process for FUAHSE postgraduate admission runs entirely through the university’s official 2026/2027 postgraduate portal. Here’s the current step-by-step sequence, confirmed directly from the live portal:
- Visit the FUAHSE postgraduate application portal and enter your email address, then click “Proceed.”
- Select your programme and course of choice on the next page, then click “Proceed” to continue to invoice generation.
- Enter your name and phone number on the invoice generation page, then click “Generate” to produce your invoice.
- Locate your RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference) on the left-hand side of the displayed invoice. If paying online, click the link to pay by ATM card or bank transfer, this redirects you to Remita’s payment platform.
- Complete your payment, then return to the portal, re-enter your email address, and click “Proceed” again.
- Wait for payment confirmation to appear on screen, then click “Apply” to access the full application form.
- Upload your passport photograph and fill in the required details on the application form, then click “Submit.”
- Confirm your submission on the success page, then click “View Application” to display and print a copy of your completed application form.
Keep both your printed application form and your payment evidence safe — these are typically required at the physical admission processing stage.
What to Do Next
Because no official closing date has been published for the 2026/2027 FUAHSE postgraduate admission cycle at the time of writing, applicants shouldn’t assume there’s unlimited time to apply, the safest approach is to complete your application as soon as you’ve settled on a programme and specialisation, and to check the portal periodically for an official deadline announcement.
If you’re applying to a programme with multiple specialisation tracks: Healthcare Management, Public Health, or Dental Technology, for instance, decide on your specific track before generating your invoice, since specialisation selection is typically locked in at the application stage rather than adjustable afterward.
Scam Prevention & Safety Tips
FUAHSE postgraduate admission payments should only be made through the official invoice generated on the university’s own portal using the RRR/Remita payment flow described above. Be wary of anyone offering to process your FUAHSE postgraduate admission application on your behalf for an additional “processing fee,” or promising guaranteed admission outside the standard CGPA-based review. Keep your payment receipt and RRR confirmation, and direct any admission-related enquiries only to the official contacts listed by the School of Postgraduate Studies.
