Does RUN offer Pharmacy?
No, Redeemer's University (RUN) does not currently offer Pharmacy as a JAMB UTME programme for the 2026 admission cycle.
RUN's current catalogue does not include Pharmacy for the 2026 cycle. The reason is institutional focus or NUC accreditation rather than candidate demand.
Candidates targeting Pharmacy have 22 institutions in this guide to consider. The most accessible 2026 cut-offs sit at AAUE (240), MADONNA (240), UNIMAID (240), while the nearest option in Osun State is OAU.

What RUN offers instead
RUN does not offer a close substitute to Pharmacy within its current undergraduate catalogue. Candidates set on Pharmacy 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. RUN's current catalogue is shaped by the institution's strategic focus and the programmes the NUC has accredited so far which is why Pharmacy sits outside the RUN undergraduate offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does RUN offer Pharmacy for postgraduate study?
Pharmacy is not currently in the RUN 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 RUN portal.
When might RUN add Pharmacy 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 RUN adding Pharmacy, and candidates targeting the course should plan around institutions that already offer it.
What is the closest alternative to Pharmacy at RUN?
RUN does not currently run a close substitute for Pharmacy. Candidates committed to Pharmacy would need to select another institution from the table above.
How do I check NUC-approved courses at RUN?
The National Universities Commission publishes the full list of accredited programmes at each Nigerian university. Use the NUC database or the official RUN admissions portal to confirm the latest accredited programmes before applying for any course.
Can I transfer to study Pharmacy elsewhere after starting at RUN?
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 Pharmacy, either as a first choice from the start or via the change-of-institution window during the JAMB admission cycle.
