The School of Postgraduate Studies is organizing an orientation
programme for all fresh postgraduate students admitted in the 2017/2018
academic session into departments in both Nsukka and Enugu Campuses of
the University. This is in line with the vision of the current
University Administration to reposition the postgraduate programmes for
global competitiveness through timeliness, excellence and ethical
conduct. This orientation programme is a proactive enlightenment effort
to acquaint the students with the necessary procedures and regulations
and motivate them onto high level performances that will minimize cases
of delayed graduation, failures and other mistakes that could arise from
ignorance.
