Does FUPRE offer Social Work?
FUPRE does not offer Social Work as an undergraduate JAMB UTME programme for 2026.
FUPRE's current catalogue does not include Social Work for the 2026 cycle. The reason is institutional focus or NUC accreditation rather than candidate demand.
Where you can study Social Work instead
No institutions in this guide currently offer Social Work.
What FUPRE offers instead
FUPRE does not offer a close substitute to Social Work within its current undergraduate catalogue. Candidates set on Social Work 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
Not every Nigerian university offers every JAMB-listed course. Universities are either comprehensive, covering most disciplines, or specialised, focusing on a narrower range such as technology, agriculture or theology.
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. FUPRE's current catalogue is shaped by the institution's strategic focus and the programmes the NUC has accredited so far which is why Social Work sits outside the FUPRE undergraduate offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does FUPRE offer Social Work for postgraduate study?
Social Work is not currently in the FUPRE 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 FUPRE portal.
When might FUPRE add Social Work 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 FUPRE adding Social Work, and candidates targeting the course should plan around institutions that already offer it.
What is the closest alternative to Social Work at FUPRE?
FUPRE does not currently run a close substitute for Social Work. Candidates committed to Social Work would need to select another institution from the table above.
How do I check NUC-approved courses at FUPRE?
The National Universities Commission publishes the full list of accredited programmes at each Nigerian university. Use the NUC database or the official FUPRE admissions portal to confirm the latest accredited programmes before applying for any course.
Can I transfer to study Social Work elsewhere after starting at FUPRE?
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 Social Work, either as a first choice from the start or via the change-of-institution window during the JAMB admission cycle.
