The university also previously outlined its postgraduate programme offerings for 2026/2027. Applicants must satisfy the requirements for their intended qualification and discipline.
General postgraduate admission requirements
- Meet the university's general admission requirements and any programme-specific conditions.
- Complete the online application form accurately and provide the specified degree or diploma certificates and other credentials.
- Arrange for all universities or institutions previously attended to send official undergraduate or postgraduate transcripts directly to UNIDEL's School of Postgraduate Studies.
- Provide reference letters from two referees.
- Nigerian applicants must provide their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge, exemption or exclusion certificate.
Postgraduate Diploma requirements
Applicants for a PGD may qualify through a bachelor's degree of at least Third Class in the same or a related discipline from UNIDEL or another university recognised by its Senate. A degree of at least Second Class Lower in an unrelated discipline may also be considered.
Higher National Diploma (HND) holders with at least Lower Credit and applicants with relevant professional qualifications may be considered.
Master's degree requirements
For M.A., M.Sc., M.Ed., MBA and MPA programmes, applicants ordinarily need a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline with at least Second Class Lower from UNIDEL or another university recognised by its Senate.
Applicants may also qualify with a relevant PGD carrying a minimum CGPA of 3.5, alongside a bachelor's degree of at least Third Class or a relevant HND of at least Lower Credit.
Applicants with professional qualifications such as ACA, ICAN or ACIB but without a bachelor's degree or HND must first obtain a relevant PGD before applying for professional master's programmes such as MBA or MPA.
M.Phil. and Ph.D. requirements
M.Phil. applicants must hold a relevant master's degree from a recognised university with a minimum CGPA of 3.00 on a 5.00-point scale. The programme is full-time and involves coursework and written examinations with external moderation. Supporting materials include academic transcripts, credentials, references and relevant research documentation.
Ph.D. applicants must possess bachelor's and relevant academic master's degrees, such as M.A., M.Sc. or M.Ed., obtained from UNIDEL or a university recognised by its Senate. The required master's CGPA is at least 4.0 on a 5.0-point scale or equivalent.
Candidates whose master's CGPA is between 3.50 and 3.99 may be considered for an M.Phil./Ph.D. programme. A professional master's degree alone does not qualify an applicant for a Ph.D.; an appropriate academic master's qualification is required.
