Important FUTA Postgraduate Application Rules

  • O'Level Results No Longer Required: Applicants are no longer required to present O'Level results for postgraduate admissions at FUTA.
  • Statement of Result Age Limit: Degree Statements of Result that are four (4) years old and above cannot be used for admission; affected candidates must obtain their original degree certificate from their former institution.
  • No Programme Transfer or Refund: Candidates cannot transfer an unsuccessful application from one programme to another, and all application and acceptance fees are strictly non-refundable.
  • Avoid Form & Login Errors: Any mix-up in username and password by an applicant will attract extra charges, and selecting the wrong programme category (for example, choosing M.Tech. instead of PGD or Ph.D.) will lead to the loss of application processing for the session.

How to Apply

Visit the School of Postgraduate Studies Portal (PG Portal) on the official FUTA website at www.futa.edu.ng from Monday, 22nd June, 2026 to view the available programmes, admission requirements, programme durations, and closing date, and to submit your online application.

I graduated in 2021 and still only have my Statement of Result. Can I use it to apply?

No, Richard. FUTA stated that Statements of Results of four (4) years and above cannot be used for admission. Since 2021 is 5 years ago, you will need to collect your original degree certificate from your former university.
