The university\u2019s official homepage lists the application period as <strong>17 August to 2 October 2026<\/strong> and gives the application fee as <strong>\u20a625,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves about 26 calendar days for candidates checking the opportunity on 6 September 2026. Prospective applicants should begin early because the university says the fee is non-refundable, requires credentials to be uploaded in JPEG format and warns applicants against Remita or third-party

presents the 2026\/2027 postgraduate session as beginning in October 2026. It lists postgraduate diploma, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programmes across health, science, computing, pharmacy, clinical and research-related areas.<\/p>\n<p>The detailed programme page currently lists <strong>16 PGD programmes, 39 M.Sc. programmes and 31 PhD programmes<\/strong>. The university homepage\u2019s shorter promotional panel says 38 M.Sc. programmes, so applicants should use the detailed programme page and the live application form as the final reference for the course they intend to select. This is a count discrepancy on FUHSO\u2019s own pages, not a reason to rely on an unofficial course list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Programmes_currently_displayed_on_the_official_postgraduate_page\"><\/span>Programmes currently displayed on the official postgraduate page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Area<\/th>\n<th>Examples shown by FUHSO<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Biochemistry and biological sciences<\/td>\n<td>Biochemistry, Medical Biochemistry, Environmental Biology, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Hydrobiology and Fisheries, Parasitology and Entomology, Plant Science and Biotechnology<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Biostatistics, chemistry and physics<\/td>\n<td>Biostatistics, Analytical Chemistry, Environmental and Pollution Control, Medicinal Chemistry, Radiation and Medical Physics, Environmental Physics, Material Science and Renewable Energy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Computing and mathematics<\/td>\n<td>Computer Science, Cyber Security, GenAI for Business and Mathematics<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Microbiology and pharmacy<\/td>\n<td>Microbiology, Food and Industrial Microbiology, Environmental Microbiology, Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacognosy and Herbal Medicine, Drug Production and Vaccinology, Pharmacology and Toxicology<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Medical and research disciplines<\/td>\n<td>Forensic Science, Cell and Molecular Biology, Forensic and Genetic Anthropology, Human and Medical Genetics, Neuroscience, Immunology, Medical Microbiology and Clinical Sciences<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Global health and information resources<\/td>\n<td>Public Health, Bioinformatics, Health Economics, Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigation, Healthcare Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Health Information Management, Library and Information Science, and Health Record and Archival Management<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>FUHSO also highlights specialised areas such as Drug Production and Vaccinology, Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigation, Forensic and Genetic Anthropology, Human and Medical Genetics, Neuroscience and Immunology.

The fee is described as non-refundable. The stated closing date is <strong>2 October 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>FUHSO has not published a separate universal deadline time on the pages reviewed. Candidates should therefore avoid waiting until the final day and should save proof of payment and the submitted form. A portal remaining accessible after the stated date should not be interpreted as an extension unless FUHSO publishes one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_apply\"><\/span>How to apply<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to the official FUHSO website at <a href=\"https:\/\/fuhso.edu.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fuhso.edu.ng<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Open the School of Postgraduate Studies section and read the programme information at <a href=\"https:\/\/fuhso.edu.ng\/pg-school.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the official postgraduate page<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Use the \u201cRegister Now\u201d link displayed on the university homepage for the 2026\/2027 postgraduate application.<\/li>\n<li>Select the postgraduate level and programme that match your qualifications and research interest.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the official payment instruction and pay the \u20a625,000 fee through the stated Remita route. Do not send money to a personal account, agent or social-media contact.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare and upload the required credentials in the format requested by the form. The university specifically says credentials should be uploaded in JPEG format.<\/li>\n<li>Review your details, programme choice, email address and uploaded files before submitting.<\/li>\n<li>Save or print the completed application evidence and monitor your email and official FUHSO channels for screening or admission instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_applicants_should_verify_before_payment\"><\/span>What applicants should verify before payment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The accessible official programme page lists the available courses but does not present one universal entry-qualification table for every PGD, M.Sc. and PhD option. Requirements can differ by discipline and level. Before making payment, confirm the following from the live application form or FUHSO postgraduate office:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the accepted first degree, HND, professional qualification or postgraduate qualification for the selected programme;<\/li>\n<li>the minimum grade or CGPA and any relevant subject background;<\/li>\n<li>whether a research proposal, transcript, NYSC discharge\/exemption document, referee details or professional registration is required;<\/li>\n<li>whether the selected course is accepting applications at PGD, M.Sc. or PhD level; and<\/li>\n<li>the procedure and date for any screening test, interview or document verification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do not assume that meeting a general postgraduate requirement guarantees admission. FUHSO will still assess the programme-specific qualifications, available places and any further screening requirements.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FUHSO_payment_and_portal_warning\"><\/span>FUHSO payment and portal warning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Payment safety is especially important because the university\u2019s current homepage carries an urgent warning against unauthorised Remita and third-party payments. FUHSO says payments made through unauthorised channels may be rejected. Use the link reached from the official university website, check the web address before entering personal or payment details, and keep the Remita receipt.<\/p>\n<p>The university also displays <a href=\"https:\/\/apply.fuhso.edu.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apply.fuhso.edu.ng<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/eportal.fuhso.edu.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eportal.fuhso.edu.ng<\/a> as authorised FUHSO portals for new and returning users. Applicants should follow the postgraduate registration route shown on the official homepage rather than guessing which portal to use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_clarification_for_candidates\"><\/span>Important clarification for candidates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a postgraduate admission opportunity for the 2026\/2027 academic session.
