The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has commenced admission into its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The university said the admission exercise, which is ongoing nationwide, is open to qualified candidates seeking flexible and affordable university education through its open and distance learning model.

Admission Exercise

Checks by source indicate that prospective students can now apply into various programmes offered by the institution, with admission support services available to guide applicants through the process and ensure accurate submission of required information.

Education officials explained that the admission support covers programme selection, documentation, application processing and follow-up, aimed at reducing errors that often delay admission confirmation.

They noted that the university’s learning structure allows students to study at their own pace while combining academic activities with work and family responsibilities.

Programmes on Offer

Available programmes span several disciplines, including Arts, Education, Social Sciences, Management Sciences, Sciences, Law and other professional courses.

NOUN operates study centres across the federation, providing students with access to academic support services, examinations and physical learning facilities where necessary.

Institutional Background

NOUN is Nigeria’s foremost open and distance learning institution, established to expand access to higher education for Nigerians who may not fit into the conventional university system.

Education analysts say the institution plays a key role in the Federal Government’s policy on inclusive and lifelong learning, particularly for working professionals, entrepreneurs and mature students.

Public Interest

Stakeholders in the education sector have observed increased interest in NOUN admissions in recent years, attributing it to the flexibility of its academic calendar, affordability and nationwide acceptance of its certificates.

Prospective candidates have been advised to apply early to avoid delays associated with late registration and incomplete documentation.
