General UNIOSUN Postgraduate Admission Requirements
The general UNIOSUN postgraduate admission requirements begin with the applicant’s academic background and O’Level qualifications.
Applicants must be graduates of Osun State University, another university, or another institution such as a Polytechnic approved by the Senate.
Candidates must also possess at least five O’Level credit passes, including English Language and four other relevant subjects.
These credits must normally be obtained at not more than two sittings.
There is an important exception for Law. For programmes in the Faculty of Law where the Bachelor’s degree entry requirement applies, UNIOSUN specifies five O’Level credit passes at one sitting.
Applicants whose O’Level examination results were obtained up to 2018 must also present their original certificates during screening. The university states that Statements of Results and/or Result Slips will not be accepted for those results.
UNIOSUN PGD Admission Requirements
For Postgraduate Diploma admission, candidates must possess either:
- A minimum of Third Class in a Bachelor’s degree programme; or
- A minimum of Lower Credit in an HND.
This requirement provides an alternative route for graduates who may not have the degree classification normally required for direct admission into an academic Master’s programme.
However, applicants should still ensure that their first degree or HND background is relevant to the particular PGD programme they intend to study.
Individual programmes can have additional academic requirements, so meeting the general PGD requirement does not automatically guarantee admission into every programme.
UNIOSUN Master’s Admission Requirements
UNIOSUN has separate pathways for academic and professional Master’s programmes.
For an academic Master’s degree, candidates normally need a minimum of Second Class Lower Division in their Bachelor’s degree.
However, the university also provides alternative routes.
A candidate with a Third Class Bachelor’s degree may be considered where the candidate also has a relevant Postgraduate Diploma with a weighted average of at least 60.00%.
Candidates with a minimum of Lower Credit in HND may also be considered where they possess a relevant Postgraduate Diploma with a weighted average of at least 60.00%.
For professional Master’s programmes, candidates with lower degree classifications may be considered, subject to the applicable programme requirements.
This distinction is important because applicants should not assume that a Third Class degree automatically prevents them from pursuing postgraduate study at UNIOSUN.
UNIOSUN Ph.D. Admission Requirements
Candidates applying for a Ph.D. programme must possess a relevant Master’s degree.
The university specifies a minimum 60.00% weighted average or CGPA of 3.50 in the Master’s degree programme.
Therefore, a candidate who intends to apply directly for a UNIOSUN Ph.D. should carefully check the final Master’s result before beginning the application.
The relevant academic background is also important because admission into a particular doctoral programme depends on the relationship between the applicant’s previous qualifications and the proposed field of study.
UNIOSUN MPhil/Ph.D. Admission Requirements
The MPhil/Ph.D. route has a lower entry threshold than the direct Ph.D. route.
Candidates with a minimum 55.00% weighted average or CGPA of 3.00 at Master’s level can apply for an MPhil/Ph.D. programme.
The programme runs for a minimum of one session before a candidate can proceed to the Ph.D. stage.
Conversion is not automatic.
At the end of the first session, a Panel of Examiners conducts a conversion assessment. The candidate must obtain at least 60% aggregate at the end of the first session to be eligible for conversion to the Ph.D. programme.
This makes the MPhil/Ph.D. route particularly relevant to candidates whose Master’s result falls below the direct Ph.D. requirement but still meets the MPhil/Ph.D. threshold.
UNIOSUN DBA Admission Requirements
The Doctor of Business Administration is subject to specific requirements.
Applicants must possess an MBA from Osun State University or another approved university, with a weighted average of not less than the level stated in the university’s admission notice.
The applicant must also have at least a Second Class Lower Division Bachelor’s degree.
Candidates with an HND of at least Upper Credit and/or professional qualifications in administration disciplines may be considered, but the university states that such candidates must undergo a mandatory nine-month Postgraduate Diploma at UNIOSUN, provided they meet the basic university entry qualification.
Candidates with a recognised Postgraduate Diploma of at least Upper Credit may also be considered, subject to the university’s matriculation requirements.
The university additionally states that candidates holding an academic M.Sc. in Accounting, Business, Management or related fields from a reputable institution may be considered.
Transcript Requirement for UNIOSUN Postgraduate Admission
Academic transcripts are an important part of the application process.
Applicants who did not graduate from UNIOSUN must request their former university or institution to send their academic transcripts directly to the Secretary, Postgraduate College, Osun State University, P.M.B. 4494, Osogbo, Osun State.
For applicants seeking Master’s admission, the relevant first-degree transcript is required.
For doctoral applicants, the university requests the academic transcript of the Master’s degree.
UNIOSUN also allows electronic transcripts, but the university specifically states that electronic transcripts must be sent through the official email address of the applicant’s former university or institution to establish authenticity.
Applicants should therefore not simply upload a personal copy of a transcript and assume that this satisfies the transcript requirement.
University of Ibadan Postgraduate Courses and Admission Requirements for 2026/2027 Session
How to Apply for UNIOSUN Postgraduate Admission
The application process for the 2026/2027 UNIOSUN postgraduate programmes is completed online.
Step 1: Visit the UNIOSUN Postgraduate Application Portal
Applicants should begin through the official postgraduate application portal:
portal.postgraduate.uniosun.edu.ng
Step 2: Select the Appropriate Programme
Choose the postgraduate programme that corresponds with your academic background and intended area of study.
Applicants should check the programme level carefully because PGD, academic Master’s, professional Master’s, MPhil/Ph.D., Ph.D. and DBA programmes have different entry requirements.
Step 3: Pay the Application Fee
The current application fee is ₦20,000.
UNIOSUN states that the application fee is payable through the Postgraduate College Remita Payment Platform using an ATM/Nigerian debit card.
Step 4: Complete the Application Form
After payment, provide the required personal, academic and programme information.
Applicants should enter their names and academic details exactly as they appear on their official documents.
Step 5: Upload the Required Information and Documents
Complete the application by supplying the requested academic and personal information.
Candidates should ensure that the information submitted is accurate because discrepancies between the application and original documents can create problems during screening.
Step 6: Ensure Your Transcript Is Sent
If you are not a UNIOSUN graduate, contact your former institution and request that the appropriate transcript be sent to the Postgraduate College.
Electronic transcripts must come from the official email address of the former institution.
Step 7: Review Before Submission
Before submitting the application, check the programme selected, academic qualifications, O’Level information and other details.
An error in the selected programme can affect the processing of the application.
Step 8: Submit the Application
Submit the completed application through the postgraduate portal and retain evidence of the application and payment.
UNIOSUN Postgraduate Application Closing Date
The official 2026/2027 admission notice states that the application closes eight weeks from the date of the advertisement.
The notice is dated 25 August 2026, so applicants should not rely on old postgraduate admission deadlines circulating online.
Candidates should check the official postgraduate portal for any update, extension or administrative announcement concerning the closing date.
Important Things Applicants Should Know
One of the most important points in the current UNIOSUN postgraduate admission requirements is that the university distinguishes clearly between different postgraduate levels.
A Third Class graduate may qualify for a PGD, while a candidate with Third Class plus a relevant PGD and at least 60% weighted average may qualify for an academic Master’s route.
Similarly, a candidate with a Master’s result of 55% or CGPA 3.00 can enter the MPhil/Ph.D. route, while direct Ph.D. admission requires 60% weighted average or CGPA 3.50.
Applicants should therefore select the pathway that matches their actual qualification instead of applying blindly for a programme.
Another important point is the O’Level certificate requirement for older results. Candidates with O’Level results obtained up to 2018 must present original certificates at screening.
Transcript requirements should also be taken seriously. Non-UNIOSUN graduates are expected to arrange for official transcripts to reach the Postgraduate College.
