Does FUDMA offer History and International Studies?
FUDMA does not offer History and International Studies as an undergraduate JAMB UTME programme for 2026.
FUDMA's current catalogue does not include History and International Studies for the 2026 cycle. The reason is institutional focus or NUC accreditation rather than candidate demand.

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. FUDMA's current catalogue is shaped by the institution's strategic focus and the programmes the NUC has accredited so far which is why History and International Studies sits outside the FUDMA undergraduate offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does FUDMA offer History and International Studies for postgraduate study?
History and International Studies is not currently in the FUDMA 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 FUDMA portal.
When might FUDMA add History and International Studies 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 FUDMA adding History and International Studies, and candidates targeting the course should plan around institutions that already offer it.
What is the closest alternative to History and International Studies at FUDMA?
English Language at FUDMA is the closest related programme in the current catalogue. It shares the academic foundation with History and International Studies, and may suit candidates with related career goals.
How do I check NUC-approved courses at FUDMA?
The National Universities Commission publishes the full list of accredited programmes at each Nigerian university. Use the NUC database or the official FUDMA admissions portal to confirm the latest accredited programmes before applying for any course.
Can I transfer to study History and International Studies elsewhere after starting at FUDMA?
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 History and International Studies, either as a first choice from the start or via the change-of-institution window during the JAMB admission cycle.
