INTRODUCTION
The Nigerian university system currently has over 500 unique programmes; however majority of
university applicants do not know anything about most of these courses. They are only aware of
courses like Medicine & Surgery, Nursing, Pharmacy, Accounting, Mass communication,
‘Engineering’, Computer Science etc. these popular courses are apparently less than one percent
of all available courses. Due to this lack of awareness and information on courses, majority of our
students and candidates only focus on those courses they know thereby limiting their scope and
opportunities for admission in other courses.
Right now, I am attending to some candidates who are trying to make up their mind on the exact
course to study as well as the university that would give them the best opportunity for admission.
This compilation takes a definitive approach to as many courses as possible listed by the National
University Commission (NUC). It hopes to also help secondary school students and admission
seekers have a basic understanding of courses, open them to other career options so they can
make a better and well informed career decisions.
NOTE:
This book is not a replacement for the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) brochure,
it is to serve as a reference material for candidates during career decision making process.

In this compilation, Basic Medical and Health Science, Pharmaceutical Science, Medicine and
Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine are categorized under Medicine. Hence the following 10
disciplines:
 Administration;
 Agriculture;
 Arts;
 Education;
 Engineering and Technology;
 Environmental Sciences;
 Law;

 Social Sciences.
In order to provide clear and unambiguous definitions; where possible, courses joined with a
‘and’ would be defined separately. Combining both definitions would provide a better
understanding of what those courses entail.
In addition, in situation where a course appears under more than one disciplines – such as Mass
Communication, which exist under faculties of Administration and Social Sciences – definition for
such courses will appear only under one discipline.

the satisfaction of national needs.
c) To instill in them the spirit of self-reliance, self-pride and self-actualization;
d) To ensure that all programmes should have a built-in mechanism in which national
aspirations are affirmed. Such mechanism should take cognizance of the following issues:
Socio-political developments, the economy of the society, the fact of our pluralistic
society, and the need to forge a strong and united country.
