UNIJOS Postgraduate Courses and Admission Requirements 2026/2027 for PGD, Master’s, M.Phil and Ph.D Programmes

The University of Jos (UNIJOS) offers a wide range of postgraduate programmes for graduates seeking advanced academic qualifications, professional development and research opportunities. Through its School of Postgraduate Studies, the university provides Postgraduate Diploma, Master’s, M.Phil and Ph.D programmes across major disciplines including Arts, Agriculture, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Education, Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Law, Management Sciences, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine.

Understanding the UNIJOS postgraduate courses and admission requirements is important before beginning an application because the university does not apply exactly the same academic conditions to every programme. While the School of Postgraduate Studies provides general requirements covering O’Level qualifications, relevant degrees and transcripts, individual departments may require particular degree classifications, CGPA scores, professional qualifications, work experience, research performance or other conditions.

General UNIJOS Postgraduate Admission Requirements

The general UNIJOS postgraduate admission requirements published by the university begin with the O’Level requirement.

Candidates are generally expected to possess:

• Five credit passes at O’Level.
• English Language.
• Mathematics.
• Other relevant subjects required by the intended programme.
• A relevant first degree for Master’s and PGD programmes where required.
• A relevant Master’s degree for M.Phil/Ph.D programmes.
• Official degree transcripts.

The university’s general postgraduate requirements state that candidates seeking admission into a Master’s or Postgraduate Diploma programme should hold a good First or Second Class Honours degree from the University of Jos or another university recognised by the Senate, with the first degree relevant to the intended programme.

However, the detailed departmental requirements show that there are exceptions and alternative routes for some programmes. Some departments consider Third Class graduates, HND holders, candidates with relevant PGDs, and applicants with specified work experience.

Therefore, applicants should not rely on the general statement alone.

UNIJOS PGD Admission Requirements

The UNIJOS postgraduate admission requirements for PGD programmes vary by department.

Generally, candidates may qualify through:

• A relevant bachelor’s degree.
• A bachelor’s degree with a lower classification where the department specifically permits it.
• HND at the required credit level.
• Relevant professional qualifications.
• Relevant postgraduate diploma qualifications.
• Post-qualification work experience where specified.

For example, the Computer Science PGD accepts relevant bachelor’s degree holders and HND holders with at least Upper Credit under its stated requirements.

Animal Science, Engineering, Mass Communication, Nutrition and Dietetics, Conflict Management and other PGD programmes each have their own specific entry conditions.

UNIJOS Master’s Admission Requirements

For most academic Master’s programmes, the general requirement is a good relevant Bachelor’s degree, normally First Class or Second Class.

However, the detailed UNIJOS postgraduate admission requirements show that some programmes may accept:

• Third Class graduates with an appropriate PGD.
• Candidates with relevant HND and PGD qualifications.
• Candidates with relevant professional qualifications.
• Candidates with specified years of work experience.

For example, the Computer Science M.Sc programme normally requires Second Class Lower and a CGPA of 3.00/5.0, but the department may consider Third Class or HND candidates who subsequently obtain the required PGD result.

The exact academic background also matters. A candidate may meet the general Master’s standard but still be ineligible for a particular programme if the first degree is unrelated.

UNIJOS M.Phil/Ph.D Admission Requirements

The general UNIJOS postgraduate admission requirements for M.Phil/Ph.D programmes require candidates to possess a relevant Master’s degree.

The university states that M.Phil/Ph.D candidates must have:

• A relevant Master’s degree.
• A Weighted Score Average of at least 60% in the Master’s final assessment.
• At least 60% in the Master’s research project.
• The required O’Level qualifications.
• An official transcript.

Candidates admitted into M.Phil/Ph.D programmes initially register for the M.Phil component and may subsequently be upgraded to Ph.D registration after satisfactory performance.

Some departments use CGPA equivalents. For example, the Engineering postgraduate requirements specify a minimum CGPA of 3.50/5.0 or CSA of 60% and above, including 60% or above in the research project.

The Computer Science department, on the other hand, states a Master’s CGPA of at least 3.0/5.0 or WSA of 60%, together with a thesis score of at least 60%.

This difference demonstrates why applicants must check the requirements for their specific department.

Transcript Requirement for UNIJOS Postgraduate Admission

Academic transcripts are an important part of the UNIJOS postgraduate admission requirements.

The university’s general postgraduate rules state that degree-result transcripts are required for all admissions.

Applicants should therefore arrange for their previous institution to provide the appropriate official transcript as required by the Postgraduate School.

Candidates should not wait until after submitting the application before beginning the transcript process, particularly where the previous institution takes time to process transcript requests.

Are All UNIJOS Postgraduate Programmes Full-Time?

The university’s general postgraduate material states that the advertised programmes covered by that admission material will run on a full-time basis.

However, some individual programme pages contain separate information about part-time structures or durations. Candidates should therefore follow the mode of study displayed for the particular programme on the current application portal.

How to Apply for UNIJOS Postgraduate Admission

The current UNIJOS postgraduate portal provides the online application procedure.

Follow these steps:

1. Visit the UNIJOS application portal. The university directs postgraduate applicants to its online portal. https://www.unijos.edu.ng/pg-school

The current UNIJOS portal specifically emphasises that applicants should choose the appropriate course before completing the application.

Important Things to Know Before Applying

Before applying for any of the UNIJOS postgraduate courses, prospective students should pay attention to the following:

Your first degree must normally relate to the programme. A strong CGPA alone does not guarantee eligibility where the department requires a particular academic background.

Check departmental requirements. The university’s detailed postgraduate document contains programme-specific requirements that can differ considerably.

Do not assume HND is accepted everywhere. Some departments accept HND holders for PGD or other specified routes, while other programmes require a university degree or professional qualification.

Check CGPA requirements carefully. Different departments use different minimum scores for Master’s and doctoral admission.

Arrange your transcript early. UNIJOS requires degree-result transcripts for postgraduate admission.

Prepare for additional selection procedures. Some programmes state that candidates may undergo written tests, interviews, admission examinations or other selection exercises.

Professional programmes may have professional-registration requirements. This is particularly important for medicine, law, veterinary medicine and other regulated fields.
