See the main University of Ilorin faculties and undergraduate programme areas, then use official UNILORIN admissions information to confirm current choices and requirements.
University of Ilorin courses and programmes
The University of Ilorin, often called UNILORIN, offers undergraduate study across arts, sciences, professional disciplines, education and health. Its official admissions page is the place to begin because programme availability, requirements and application instructions can change between sessions. The university's public information also reports more than one hundred undergraduate programmes, but a number in a profile is not a substitute for the current advert.
The grouped lists in this guide make the course names easier to scan. They summarise public university and faculty information rather than claiming that every programme is open in every session. Confirm each name, code and requirement in the current advert. Faculties and course families at UNILORIN
Agriculture includes Agricultural Economics and Farm Management, Agricultural Extension and Community Development, Agronomy, Animal Production, Aquaculture and Fisheries, Food Science, Home Economics and Food Science, and related crop and soil disciplines. These courses connect biological knowledge with food production and rural enterprise. Applicants should check whether a preferred option is housed in agriculture or another faculty before selecting a JAMB code.

The Arts and Communication side includes Arabic, English, French, History and International Studies, Islamic Studies, Linguistics, Performing Arts, Philosophy, Religious Studies and Theatre Arts. Communication and Media Studies is another possible direction for students interested in journalism, public communication and digital media. Course titles can sound similar while requiring different UTME subjects, so compare the current requirements rather than relying on a neighbour's combination.

UNILORIN's business and social science options include Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Management, Industrial Relations and Personnel Management, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Criminology and Security Studies, Geography and Environmental Management, and related development fields. These disciplines overlap in everyday careers but do not teach the same skills. Look at the department description and expected secondary school credits before choosing.

Education programmes cover subject teaching and specialist areas such as Adult Education, Counsellor Education, Educational Management, Educational Technology, Health Promotion and Environmental Health Education, Human Kinetics, Primary Education, Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and vocational or technical education. A subject education degree is not identical to the corresponding single subject degree. The distinction affects the course structure and professional direction.

Science and technology choices include Biochemistry, Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Industrial Chemistry, Mathematics, Microbiology, Optometry, Physics, Statistics and Zoology. Engineering includes Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and related areas. The faculty or departmental site should be checked for current accreditation, laboratory expectations and any professional body requirements. Science and technology Biochemistry Biology Botany Chemistry Computer Science Geology Industrial Chemistry Mathematics Microbiology Optometry Physics Statistics Zoology Engineering Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical and Electronics Engineering Mechanical Engineering Biomedical Engineering Health, law and environmental professions
Health related study includes Anatomy, Dentistry, Medicine and Surgery, Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing Science, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Physiological Sciences, Public Health and Radiography. The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences describes undergraduate pharmacy training on its official faculty site. These courses can be highly competitive and may have fitness, registration or professional accreditation considerations. Meeting a general application threshold cannot guarantee a professional licence or a departmental offer.

UNILORIN also provides Law, Library and Information Science, and programmes in Environmental Sciences such as Architecture, Estate Management, Quantity Surveying, Surveying and Geoinformatics, and Urban and Regional Planning. Applicants who want a built environment career should compare the drawing, measurement, planning and property components of each programme. Professional accreditation can be reviewed by the relevant department and current university notice.

Use the UNILORIN admissions information to confirm the session, eligibility and application steps. Then check the faculty or department page where available. The university can revise names, suspend a programme, add a new option or publish a different list for UTME and Direct Entry. Accreditation is also not a permanent promise for every cohort, so confirm the latest status from the university and the relevant regulator.
Make a comparison table for your intended course, UTME subjects, O'level credits, likely costs and career requirements. For example, Computer Science and Computer Engineering may both attract technology minded candidates, but their mathematics, electronics and programming emphasis differs. Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Medical Laboratory Science likewise lead through distinct training paths. A thoughtful choice protects you from changing course after admission.
Avoid unofficial lists that promise guaranteed admission or claim that every programme is available every year. Do not pay through a link sent by an unknown account. Reach the portal from a university page and retain the official advert. Course offerings and accreditation can change, so this guide explains the public programme landscape, while the current UNILORIN notice controls the application you submit.
