Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, OAUSTECH, Okitipupa, has opened applications for its Postgraduate Diploma in Education programme for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The programme runs through the Institute of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education, and it serves graduates who do not yet hold teaching qualifications. It also supports candidates who need the education training required for Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria registration.

About the OAUSTECH PGDE Programme

The OAUSTECH PGDE gives graduates a route into teaching through formal education training.

The university states that the programme prepares candidates for the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria Professional Qualifying Examinations, often called TRCN PQE. For graduates who plan to teach at any level, this course covers the professional education route they need before TRCN registration.

Who Can Apply for OAUSTECH PGDE?

OAUSTECH has opened the PGDE admission to candidates with different higher education qualifications.

Eligible applicants include holders of:

• Higher National Diploma, HND
• Bachelor’s Degree, BA or B.Sc.

• PhD

A candidate with any of these qualifications can apply through the university portal. The programme also targets prospective teachers across early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education.

Programme Duration

The OAUSTECH PGDE programme runs for two semesters only.

That duration gives candidates a clear study period from the start. Applicants should take note of this before completing the form, especially those who plan to combine the programme with work or other academic plans.

STEM Education Focus

The programme also speaks to candidates who want to teach science-related subjects.
