According to the official announcement, the new degree programmes approved by the NUC include:

In a statement released by the Vice-Chancellor of Amadeus University, Prof. Samuel M. Nzotta, the NUC approval came after a thorough and comprehensive resource verification exercise.

During the evaluation, the NUC team inspected the university’s human and material resources, including teaching facilities, laboratories, libraries, clinical training equipment, and faculty qualifications. The commission concluded that the university had met all the required academic and infrastructural standards needed to run the newly proposed programmes effectively.

Prof. Nzotta expressed deep appreciation to the NUC for its confidence in the university’s capacity to maintain high academic standards. He also commended the Governing Council, the management team, and the staff for their dedication and hard work in achieving this milestone.

“The NUC’s approval is a strong validation of our vision to raise a new generation of professionals who are not only academically competent but also morally upright and globally relevant,”

🏥 Admissions Now Open for Medicine and Pharmacy

Following the approval, admissions have commenced immediately for the MBBS (Medicine & Surgery) and Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) programmes.

Prospective students who meet the minimum requirements are encouraged to apply through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) by selecting Amadeus University as their first choice of institution or by applying for a change of institution to Amadeus through their JAMB profile.

⚖️ LL.B Law Programme to Begin Soon

The addition of these three new degree programmes is expected to further strengthen the university’s reputation and widen its academic offerings across key professional fields.

Currently, Amadeus University runs 19 other accredited undergraduate programmes across its existing faculties — covering areas such as Sciences, Arts, Management, Computing, and Social Sciences. The introduction of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Law will now diversify the academic structure and attract a new wave of students across Nigeria and beyond.
