Important 2026/2027 Changes Announced by UDUSOK
The current postgraduate portal contains several notices that prospective applicants should pay attention to.
The university states that:
- Candidates with CGPA of at least 3.50 can now apply for Ph.D.
- Candidates with Third Class and five years’ working experience can now apply for Master’s or Ph.D. if they already possess a Master’s degree.
- Candidates with HND Lower Credit can now apply for PGD.
- O’Level requirements will not be used as the basis for disqualifying Master’s and Ph.D. candidates.
These notices are important because some of them broaden the eligibility information beyond the general requirements displayed on the formal requirements page.
For example, the formal page states a 4.00/5.00 CGPA requirement for Ph.D./M.Phil admission, whereas the current portal announcement states that candidates with 3.50 and above can apply for Ph.D. Applicants should therefore use the requirement attached to their intended programme on the live application portal if the two official notices differ.

Conclusion
The UDUSOK postgraduate courses for 2026/2027 cover a wide range of PGD, Master’s, M.Phil/Ph.D. and Ph.D. programmes across the university’s academic and professional disciplines.
The basic requirements include a relevant qualification for the programme, appropriate O’Level subjects where applicable, NYSC Discharge/Exemption/Exclusion documentation, and academic transcripts for the programmes specifically identified by the university.
Applicants should pay particular attention to the programme-specific O’Level requirements, because UDUSOK does not use one identical O’Level subject combination for every postgraduate programme.

Official information note: This article is based on the current UDUSOK College of Postgraduate Studies portal and its published 2026/2027 admission requirements and programme list. Where the university’s current portal contains a specific notice that differs from the formal requirements page, both official positions have been identified rather than silently choosing one.
