ABUAD Opens Admission for 2025/2026 Part-Time Degree Programmes — Flexible, Affordable and NUC-Accredited

Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) has officially announced the commencement of admissions into its part-time degree programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The Directorate of Part-Time Studies is calling on civil servants, professionals, artisans, entrepreneurs, and school-leavers—both young and mature—who are seeking flexible and affordable higher education without compromising on quality.

Why ABUAD’s Part-Time Programme Stands Out

ABUAD’s part-time students receive the same quality of education and certificates as full-time students. The main difference is convenience: part-time students enjoy flexible schedules and reduced tuition fees. Classes are tailored to suit working individuals, and all part-time students reside off-campus.

These programmes are designed to serve diverse needs, including:

HND to BSc conversion (Top-Up)
Degree upgrades for those with Third Class or Pass
Professional growth and career advancement
