The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved 34 undergraduate programmes for the newly established Federal University of Science and Technology, Epe (FUSTECH), in Lagos State, paving the way for the institution to commence its inaugural admission process.
The approval was conveyed in a letter dated October 23, 2026, following a resource verification exercise by panels of experts who assessed the human and material resources available for the proposed programmes.
According to a statement made available to The PUNCH on Monday, the programmes will be offered on a full-time basis at the university’s take-off campuses, beginning from the 2026/2027 academic session.
NUC Approves 1,700 Admission Slots
The commission approved an admission quota of 50 students per programme, bringing the total approved capacity to 1,700 students across the 34 programmes.
The NUC clarified that the approval covers only full-time programmes. The university would need to submit a separate request for consideration before introducing part-time programmes.
Following the approval, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Kazeem Adeola Oshikoya, expressed the institution’s readiness to begin its first admission exercise.
