SCHOOL OF POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

History

In 1995, the Senate  of the University established the College of Postgraduate Studies (CPGS).  However, when the University abandoned the unwieldy collegiate system to  embrace the more focused faculty structure in the 2001/2002 academic session,  the College of Postgraduate Studies became the School of Postgraduate Studies  (SPGS) with the status of a Faculty.
Applications for  admission into the school of postgraduate studies are drawn partly from  graduates of the University and those from other Universities. Presently,  students are enrolled in various Postgraduate Diploma (PGD), Masters and  Doctorate Degree programmes.
