Who Should Apply?

The FUTA postgraduate admission form is suitable for candidates who already have a relevant academic qualification and want to advance their education in technology, science, engineering, agriculture, environmental studies, management, computing and other related fields.

Applicants may include:

• Graduates seeking a Master’s degree

• HND or degree holders interested in a Postgraduate Diploma

• Master’s degree holders planning to apply for Ph.D.

• Candidates interested in research-based postgraduate training

• Professionals who want to improve their qualifications for career growth

Candidates should carefully check the department-specific requirements before applying because admission requirements may differ from one programme to another.

Important Application Instructions

Applicants are strongly advised to complete the application form carefully.

FUTA has warned that errors made during completion and submission of the application form may affect the candidate’s admission processing.

Candidates should pay close attention when selecting their programme type, department, email address, username and password.

A mistake such as choosing the wrong programme level may create problems for the applicant. For example, selecting M.Tech. instead of PGD or Ph.D. instead of M.Phil./Ph.D. may affect the application process.

Applicants should also note that an unsuccessful application cannot be transferred from one programme to another.

This means candidates must be sure of their chosen programme before final submission.

Statement of Result Warning

Applicants should take note that statements of result that are four years old or more may not be accepted for admission.

Candidates in this category are expected to obtain their original certificate from the relevant examination body or institution before applying.

This is an important instruction for applicants who have been using an old statement of result for previous applications or employment purposes.

O’Level Result Requirement

Applicants are no longer required to present O’Level results for postgraduate admission.

However, candidates should still read the full admission guidelines on the FUTA postgraduate portal because each programme may have its own specific conditions.

Application and Acceptance Fees

Candidates should note that application form fees and acceptance fees are non-refundable.

This means applicants should confirm that they meet the admission requirements before making payment.

Do not rush to pay without checking the programme requirements, duration, department and qualification needed for your preferred course.

Advice for FUTA Postgraduate Applicants

Start by checking whether your qualification matches the programme you want to apply for.
