NUC, the National Universities Commission, has given approval for 34 undergraduate programmes for the recently established Federal University of Science and Technology (FUSTECH), Epe, Lagos State.
The approval unlocks the university’s ability to commence its first admission process.
The news was made known in a letter issued on October 23, 2026, after a resource verification exercise that involved professional panels to assess the institution’s available material and human resources.
The news revealed that the approved programmes will commence on a full-time scale from the 2026/2027 academic session across five faculties.
The faculties where the newly approved 34 courses will be run include Computing and Informatics, Engineering, Allied Health Sciences, Management Sciences and Technology, and Science.
The newly accredited academic programmes are Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Civil Engineering, Nursing Science, Physiotherapy, Public Health, Forensic Science, Biotechnology and Marine Science, among others.
Federal University of Science and Technology (FUSTECH) shares some of the facilities belonging to the Epe campus of the Lagos State University (LASU) under a temporary agreement between both academic institutions as the former awaits its move to its permanent site.
The federal university was established in November last year, joining other newly established Federal academic institutions.
Professor Kazeem Oshikoya, who is the university’s vice-chancellor, says that the institution is fully ready to commence its first admission process.
