Arthur Jarvis University (AJU) Gets NUC Approval For Pharmacy & Radiography Programmes

Arthur Jarvis University (AJU) has received the green light from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to introduce two specialized healthcare programmes.

This approval marks a significant milestone in the university’s expansion into medical education.

Newly Approved Programmes

AJU will now offer:

• Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) – A professional degree focused on pharmaceutical sciences, drug therapy, patient care, and the development of new medications.
• Bachelor of Radiography & Radiation Science – A specialized course designed to train students in medical imaging, diagnostic procedures, and radiation therapy.

With these additions, the university aims to bridge the gap in healthcare education by equipping students with industry-relevant knowledge and hands-on skills.

NUC’s Evaluation and Approval Process

Before granting approval, an NUC resource verification team conducted an extensive assessment of AJU’s facilities, academic resources, and faculty qualifications. The evaluation, carried out last month, confirmed that the institution met the necessary standards for running these programs.

This development reinforces AJU’s reputation as an emerging center for medical and pharmaceutical education in Nigeria.

Empowering the Next Generation of Healthcare Experts

By launching these programs, Arthur Jarvis University is taking a bold step toward addressing the growing demand for qualified professionals in the healthcare sector.

• Pharmacy graduates will have diverse career opportunities in hospitals, research institutes, community pharmacies, and the pharmaceutical industry.
• Radiography students will gain expertise in diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, and cutting-edge medical technology essential for disease detection and treatment.

These programs will provide students with a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical clinical training, ensuring they are well-prepared for the evolving medical landscape.

Prospective students eager to join these programs should watch for the upcoming admission announcements. Applications for the 2025/2026 academic session will open soon, offering aspiring healthcare professionals an opportunity to pursue their passion at AJU.

This approval marks a new era for the university, reinforcing its dedication to producing skilled professionals ready to make an impact in Nigeria’s healthcare system and beyond.
