Prospective students who wish to study at the National Open University of Nigeria can now begin their admission process for the 2026/2027 academic session.
This is an opportunity for individuals seeking flexible and accessible university education to apply for their preferred undergraduate or postgraduate programme. NOUN allows students to combine their studies with work, business, family responsibilities and other commitments.
Before starting an application, candidates should carefully confirm that they meet the admission requirements for their chosen programme. Applicants are advised not to select a course simply because it is popular. Their O’Level subjects, previous qualifications and academic background must correspond with the programme requirements.
Applicants should also prepare the necessary documents, including:
* O’Level result or certificate
* Birth certificate or age declaration
* Recent passport photograph
* NCE, OND, HND, degree or postgraduate certificate where applicable
* Other relevant academic documents
Candidates must ensure that their names, telephone number, email address, date of birth and selected study centre are entered correctly. Incorrect information may cause delays or complications during the admission process.
Prospective students are encouraged to begin early so they can properly verify their eligibility, select the right programme and correct any issue with their documents before submission.
NOUN Update provides admission guidance, programme eligibility checks and application assistance for candidates who need support.
Start your application preparations now and take the first step towards achieving your academic goals with NOUN.
