Does UNIZIK offer Tourism Studies?

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