It’s official. The Kano State College of Nursing Sciences, in collaboration with the University of Maiduguri, has opened its doors once again for postgraduate diploma and diploma admissions. For nurses and health professionals looking to climb higher or switch lanes a little, this might be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
The 2025/2026 academic session is shaping up to be busy already, and the College isn’t wasting time. With its growing list of health-related programmes, it’s calling on both practising nurses and degree holders from health fields to take that next academic step.

- Maternal and Child Health (MCH)

It’s a strong mix, covering both the clinical and administrative arms of healthcare. Whether you’re aiming to stay hands-on or lean toward policy and management, there’s something here that fits your path.
Requirements for PGD Nursing Programmes
For anyone applying under the Nursing arm — Nursing Sciences, Nursing Education, Public Health Nursing, or MCH — these are the essentials:
- A Degree or HND in Nursing, registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN)
- Five credits in the following subjects:
- Physics
- English
- Mathematics
- Biology
- Chemistry
That’s it. No long list, no confusing extras. Just the basics to show you’ve built a solid foundation.
Requirements for PGD in Health-Related Fields
If your interest falls under the public health and management categories, like Public Health, Health Planning & Management, or Epidemiology & Disease Control, then here’s what you’ll need:
- A Degree or HND in any health-related field
- Five credits in the same core subjects:
- Physics

Pretty straightforward, but don’t take it for granted. Each credit counts, so double-check before applying.
How to Apply
Getting the form is easy. It costs ₦10,000, and you can buy it directly from the College premises. No online forms, no third-party websites—just visit in person.
- Location: Gyadi-Gyadi Roundabout, opposite AKTH, Kano

A Small Word to the Wise
If you’ve been thinking about advancing your career in nursing or public health, this could be your moment. The partnership with UNIMAID adds an extra layer of credibility to the programme, which could open doors in teaching, management, or advanced clinical practice.
Don’t wait too long. These programmes often attract a good number of applicants, and forms rarely sit on shelves for long. As we like to say, “who no go, no know.”
So, dust off your credentials, grab your documents, and take that step. The classroom lights at Kano State College of Nursing Sciences are about to come on again — will you be there when they do?
