PROGRAMME
The Management of the University has set up strategies to
reposition the School of Postgraduate Studies towards
better service delivery. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor
Adebiyi Daramola made this known at the recent
matriculation and Induction Programme for 1,984
postgraduate students of the Institution.
The Vice-Chancellor who was represented by the Deputy
Vice-Chancellor (Academics), Professor Tunde Arayela said
the postgraduate curricula have been redesigned not only
for those who want to have a lifelong career in teaching
and research and finding solutions to social and natural
problems but also to groom individuals to impact society
with what they have learnt.
The Vice-Chancellor further stated that postgraduate
programme curricula in FUTA are not only designed to
empower the applicants to be well sought out employees
but for them to be job creators as well. He also added that
the University will continue to review its curricula in order
to infuse the best into its students, so that they can easily fit
into the needs, demands and expectations of the larger
society to solve technologies, economics, industrial and
social challenges.
While commending the students for excelling in the
intensive and competitive selection process, Daramola said
“the high quality of teaching research and service delivery
has continued to be a major attraction and we are
constrained to regulate our admissions so that we can
sustain the high academic standard we are known for”.
The Dean, School of Postgraduate Studies, Professor
Oludare Ajewole said the University constituted a
committee to overhaul the operations of the school and
that the implementation of the policies introduced has
commenced in earnest, stating that henceforth unnecessary
elongation of academic programmes will no longer be
allowed by the School. “Students are now expected to
complete their academic programmes within the stipulated
period. Any student that fails to complete his/her academic
programme within the stipulated period will have his/her
studentship terminated”, he said. The Dean disclosed that
most of the operations of the School are now online and
that the successful implementation of e-SPGS is being given
the appropriate attention by the University management.
He urged the students to be focused and make good use of
