University of Ibadan courses and programmes for 2026 admission

A practical guide to University of Ibadan courses, faculties and programme choices for 2026 admission, with official pages to confirm subjects, accreditation and application details.
University of Ibadan courses and programmes for 2026 admission
Choosing a course at the University of Ibadan is easier when you begin with the university's own academic structure rather than an unverified social media list. UI publishes information through its main website, faculty sites, the admissions unit and the JAMB brochure. Course names, subject combinations, available spaces and accreditation can change, so treat the list below as a useful map and confirm your intended choice before submitting UTME details. The University of Ibadan website and its undergraduate admissions notices are the right starting points. University of Ibadan faculties and colleges
UI's undergraduate options span Agriculture, Arts, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Dentistry, Education, Environmental Design and Management, Law, Pharmacy, Public Health, Renewable Natural Resources, Science, Social Sciences, Technology, Veterinary Medicine and Economics. Some health programmes sit within the College of Medicine and related faculties, so a course search may show a faculty, college or department name. That distinction matters when you read requirements.
The following faculty grouped list makes the course names easy to scan. It summarises programmes publicly associated with UI and is not a permanent promise that every item will admit students in 2026. Faculty of Agriculture Agricultural Economics Agricultural Extension and Rural Development Animal Science Crop Protection and Environmental Biology Crop and Horticultural Sciences Soil Resources Management Faculty of Arts Arabic Language and Literature Archaeology Anthropology Classical Studies Communication and Language Arts English European Studies French German Russian History Islamic Studies Linguistics Linguistics and African Languages Music Theatre Arts
Agriculture includes Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, Animal Science, Crop Protection and Environmental Biology, Crop and Horticultural Sciences and Soil Resources Management. Depending on the current prospectus, related environmental and natural resource study appears in Renewable Natural Resources. Candidates interested in these fields should compare the UTME subjects for each programme rather than assuming that every agriculture course uses the same combination.
Arts is broad. Publicly listed options include Arabic Language and Literature, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classical Studies, Communication and Language Arts, English, European Studies with French, German or Russian, History, Islamic Studies, Linguistics, Linguistics and African languages, Music and Theatre Arts. UI may describe language routes in slightly different ways across a faculty page and admission notice. Check the exact programme title in the year you apply.
The Faculty of Science covers the conventional laboratory and mathematical disciplines. These include Botany, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Geology, Industrial Chemistry, Mathematics, Microbiology, Physics, Statistics and Zoology. Some applicants also encounter combined or service course wording in departmental information. A strong UTME score is not a substitute for the required O Level credits, especially in English, Mathematics and the relevant science subjects. Faculty of Science Botany Chemistry Computer Science Geography Geology Industrial Chemistry Mathematics Microbiology Physics Statistics Zoology Faculty of Technology Agricultural and Environmental Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical and Electronics Engineering Food Technology Industrial and Production Engineering Mechanical Engineering Petroleum Engineering Wood Products Engineering
The social and management oriented choices include Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Geography and a range of social science courses. UI also has Technology programmes such as Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Food Technology, Industrial and Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering and Wood Products Engineering. Engineering titles and professional approval should be checked against the current Faculty of Technology notice and the accreditation information available from the university. Health, professional and education programmes
UI and its College of Medicine publicly present Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, Nursing Science, Physiotherapy, Medical Laboratory Science, Pharmacy, Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Biochemistry, Physiology and the public health and basic medical sciences disciplines. Clinical programmes often have additional screening stages and competitive departmental selection. A candidate should not treat the general university screening eligibility as a promise of a clinical offer.

Education choices are available in subject teaching, educational management, guidance and counselling, adult education, special education and related areas. The Faculty of Education also maintains its own departments and programme information. Law is a professional option with its own admission route and regulatory requirements. Veterinary Medicine, Public Health and environmental design options are likewise specialised, with requirements that may differ from a nearby science or social science course.

For the complete current list, use UI's faculty directory and the College of Medicine faculties page. The JAMB brochure remains important because it sets the subject combination and eligibility wording used for the application. Public course pages can lag behind a programme review, and accreditation is not permanent, so verify both points for 2026. How to use the list when making a choice
Start with your O Level result. Write down the five credits you hold, the sitting or sittings, and the subjects required by your preferred course. Then compare those facts with the JAMB brochure and UI's notice. Put a realistic alternative in your choices only when you would genuinely accept it. Changing from a highly competitive course to an unrelated course after screening may not be possible.
The admissions unit, not a coaching centre, determines the year's process. Watch for the official screening announcement, payment instructions, deadlines and correction rules. Keep your email, phone number and profile details consistent. Save receipts and print the confirmation page. If a faculty page and an old blog disagree, ask the admissions office or follow the newest official notice.
Courses and accreditation can change during a session. This guide therefore describes the public academic landscape, not a permanent promise that every named programme will open every year. Confirm the 2026 brochure, the UI portal and the department page before you pay for an application.
