UNILORIN Gets NUC Nod for Dentistry and Radiography 2026

April 20, 2026 Be first to comment Victor Uyanna

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has achieved a significant milestone in its medical sciences division. The National Universities Commission (NUC) has officially granted the institution the approval to run Dentistry and Medical Radiography programmes. This development follows a successful resource verification visit by the commission to the College of Health Sciences. At DTW Tutorials, we have verified that the university is now prepared to admit its pioneer students for these courses in the 2025/2026 academic session.

Expanding Medical Education at UNILORIN

The addition of Dentistry and Radiography to the university’s curriculum reflects its commitment to producing top-tier healthcare professionals. Previously, students interested in these fields had to seek admission in other institutions. However, with the UNILORIN NUC Approval Dentistry Radiography, the university can now bridge the gap in medical manpower. The Department of Radiography is particularly notable for integrating artificial intelligence and digital radiography into its undergraduate curriculum, making it one of the most modern in West Africa.

Admission Requirements for New Programmes

Candidates interested in the pioneer batch must meet strict academic standards. For both Dentistry and Radiography, applicants are required to pick UNILORIN as their first choice in the JAMB UTME. Furthermore, you must have five O-level credits in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, obtained in only one sitting. Consequently, these courses will be highly competitive, and candidates are encouraged to target a UTME score of at least 250 and above to stand a realistic chance of admission.

What This Means for 2026 UTME Candidates

If you have already participated in the 2026 UTME and wish to switch to these new programmes, you should watch for the JAMB Change of Course window. The UNILORIN NUC Approval Dentistry Radiography news means that the university’s quota for medical sciences has expanded. Finally, students who are currently in the university’s remedial or pre-degree programmes may also have the opportunity to transition into these new fields.
