No institutions in this guide currently offer Radiography.
What FUTA offers instead
FUTA does not offer a close substitute to Radiography within its current undergraduate catalogue. Candidates set on Radiography would need to choose another institution from the table above, or explore a related undergraduate programme in a different but adjacent field.
Switching institutions for a specific course is a common path in the Nigerian admission system. The change-of-institution window during the JAMB cycle lets candidates pivot before the post-UTME stage, and many candidates carry their first-choice score across to a more suitable institution.
Why some universities do not offer every course
Course availability at Nigerian universities depends on the institution's founding charter, NUC accreditation and the specific faculties the university has built up. A specialised institution may run a narrow but deep catalogue, while a comprehensive university covers more ground in less depth.
The National Universities Commission accredits each programme separately, and the absence of a course in an institution's catalogue usually reflects either the institution's strategic focus or the fact that the NUC has not yet approved that specific programme for the institution. FUTA's current catalogue is concentrated on technology and engineering disciplines which is why Radiography sits outside the FUTA undergraduate offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does FUTA offer Radiography for postgraduate study?
Radiography is not currently in the FUTA undergraduate catalogue tracked in this guide. Postgraduate availability is a separate question handled by the institution's school of postgraduate studies, and should be confirmed on the official FUTA portal.
When might FUTA add Radiography to its programmes?
New undergraduate programmes require National Universities Commission accreditation and the development of curricula, faculty and infrastructure. There is no public timeline for FUTA adding Radiography, and candidates targeting the course should plan around institutions that already offer it.
What is the closest alternative to Radiography at FUTA?
FUTA does not currently run a close substitute for Radiography. Candidates committed to Radiography would need to select another institution from the table above.
How do I check NUC-approved courses at FUTA?
The National Universities Commission publishes the full list of accredited programmes at each Nigerian university. Use the NUC database or the official FUTA admissions portal to confirm the latest accredited programmes before applying for any course.
Can I transfer to study Radiography elsewhere after starting at FUTA?
Inter-university transfers in Nigeria are possible but bureaucratic, and typically require strong academic standing in the first year. A cleaner route is to apply directly to an institution that offers Radiography, either as a first choice from the start or via the change-of-institution window during the JAMB admission cycle.
